Cost of Production Report; Materials Added at Two Different Stages; Average Costing. Zupton Manufacturing Corporation produces a product in three departments. The product is cut out of sheet metal in the Cutting Department, then transferred to the Forming Department, where it is bent to shape and certain parts purchased from outside vendors are added to the unit. Finally, the product is transferred to the Finishing Department where it is painted and packaged. The company uses a process cost system with an average cost flow assumption to account for its work in process inventories. Materials are added at two different stages in the Forming Department. Material A is added at the beginning of the process, and material B is added at the end of the process. At the end of May, there were 600 units in process in the Forming Department, 50% com¬ plete as to labor and overhead.
