Problem - Moody Blues Chocolate Factory uses job costing to cost its products. In its first quarter of operations, the company incurred the following material and labor costs in manufacturing a batch of its chocolate candies (the company uses normal costing to apply overhead to products and uses machine hours as the cost driver):

Overhead application rate per machine hour 9.00
Machine hours used 10,000
Inventory data:

1. Calculate the direct materials ending inventory.
2. Calculate the work in process ending inventory.
3. Calculate the finished-goods ending inventory.
