Question

Company manufactures a type of oral flu vaccine in capsules. These are produced in three separate departments sequentially: Mixing, Encapsulating, and Packaging. The following information of process inputs, outputs and work in process relates to the Encapsulating department for the month of April 2022:
kg
Opening work in process
26,700
Raw materials input
110,600
Output completed
98,400
Closing work in process
29,200
The opening and closing work in process are respectively 50 per cent and 70 per cent complete as to conversion costs.
Raw materials are added at the beginning of the manufacturing process. However, conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the manufacturing process.
Spoilages are assumed to occur at the stage of completion where inspection takes place. All spoilages are assumed to be from units started during the month.
Inspection takes place when the products are 90% complete.
The opening work in process included the transferred-in costs of $200,250 from the Mixing department, raw material costs of $106,800 and conversion costs of $80,100.
Costs incurred during the period were:
Transferred-in costs, Mixing department
$553,000
Raw material input
$331,800
Conversion costs
$456,880
The normal spoilage is 3 per cent of the units inspected.

Question: 
1 Calculate the cost of ending work in process in the Encapsulating department at the end of April.
2 Present all the necessary journal entries.
3 Assuming that the company uses weighted average method, use the 4-step approach to compute the cost of goods transferred to the Packaging department and the cost of ending work in process in the Encapsulating department at the end of April.
