Fordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: grinding and polishing.

During December, the grinding department transferred 20,000 units to the polishing department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was

$40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments.

The second department (polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December:

Costs in beginning work in process for the polishing department were direct materials, $5,000; conversion costs, $6,000; and transferred in, $8,000. Costs added during the month: materials, $32,000; conversion costs, $50,000; and transferred in, $40,000.
