x Company uses a process costing system to determine the cost of its vitamin supplement. The supplement passes through three departments: Mixing, Tableting, and Bottling. In the Mixing Department, all materials are added at the beginning of the process. The mixture is transferred to the Tableting department in gallon containers. One gallon of mixture converts into 1,600 tablets. The Tableting Department also adds materials at the beginning of the process. Completed tablets are transferred to the Bottling Department for packaging. The following information is available for the Mixing and Tableting Departments for the month of July.
