- Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 8.6. Required: 1. Calculate the total budgeted cost of units produced for Play-Disc for the coming year. Show the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. 2. Prepare a cost of goods sold budget for Play-Disc for the year. 3. What if the beginning inventory of finished goods was 75,200 (for 16,000 units)? How would that affect the cost of goods sold budget? (Assume Play-Disc uses the FIFO method.) Play-Disc makes Frisbee-type plastic discs. Each 12-inch diameter plastic disc has the following manufacturing costs: For the coming year, Play-Disc expects to make 300,000 plastic discs, and to sell 285,000 of them.
