Assume the following information for a company with two production departments. The first department is Milling.
Milling Department
Beginning work-in-process inventory
Units 200
Percent Complete
Materials 40% Conversion 30%
Units started into production during March units 6,200
Units completed during the period and transferred out units 5800
Ending work-in-process inventory Units 400
Materials 30%
Conversion 70%
Milling Department cost data:
Cost of beginning work-in-process inventory
Materials $20,000
Conversion $15,000
Costs added during the period
Materials $260,000
Conversion $335,000
Total cost
Materials $280,000
Conversion $350,000
1 Using the weighted-average method, the total cost of the ending work-in-process inventory would be closest to:
A $597,938
B $32,062
C $8,428
