  Operating loss$(34,150)
  

After seeing the $34,150 loss for June, Veekay’s presidentstated, “I was sure we’d be profitable within six months, but aftereight months we’re still spilling red ink. Maybe it’s time for usto throw in the towel. To make matters worse, I just heard thatDebbie won’t be back from her surgery for at least six moreweeks.”

  Raw materials$19,900$50,050

  Finished goods$23,080$71,130
