The spiced meat mixture is then transferred to the Casing and Curing Department, where the mixture is force- fed into casings and then hung and cured in climate-controlled smoking chambers. In the Packaging Department, the cured sausages are sorted, packed, and labeled. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data for September for the Casing and Curing Department follow: Percent Completed Units Mixing Materials Conversion Work in process inventory, September 1 Work in process inventory, September 30 1 100% 90% 80% 1 100% 80% 70% Mixing Materials Conversion Work in process inventory, September 1. $1,670 $90 $605 Cost added during September. $81,460 $6,006 $42,490 Mixing cost represents the costs of the spiced meat mixture transferred in from the Mixing Department.
