Sandra's Sheet Metal Company has two divisions. The Raw Material Division prepares sheet metal at its warehouse facility. The Finishing Division prepares the cut sheet metal into finished products for the air conditioning industry. No inventories exist in either division at the beginning of 20X8. During the year, the Raw Material Division prepared 450,000 square feet of sheet metal at a cost of $1,800,000. All the sheet metal was transferred to the Finishing Division, where additional operating costs of $1.50 per square foot were incurred. The 450,000 square feet of finished fabricated sheet metal products were sold for $3,875,000.
