Using average process costing, determine cost of goods completed, cost of ending work-in-process, loss from abnormal spoilage, and loss from abnormal rework in the Assembly department. Note: Use numerical fractions, such as 1/3, 4/5, etc., (not decimal) for allocations, if any. Prepare the appropriate journal entries for the Assembly department accounting for the transactions emanating from the cost of production report at the end of the period.
