Physical units, inspection at various stages of completion. Fantastic Furniture manufactures plastic lawn furniture in a continuous process. The company pours molten plastic into molds and then cools the plastic. Materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion is considered uniform through the period. Occasionally, the plastic does not completely fill a mold because of air pockets, and the chair is then considered spoiled. Normal spoilage is 6% of the good units that pass inspection. The following information pertains to March, 2011:

Beginning inventory 1,400 units (100% complete for materials; 20% complete for conversion costs)

Units started 12,000

Units in ending work in process 1,100 (100% complete for materials; 70% complete for conversion costs)

Fantastic Furniture had 1,000 spoiled units in March, 2011.
