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.

Units to account for:
Units, beginning work in process	4,000	(40% complete)
Units started	?
Total units to account for	?
Units accounted for:
Units, ending work in process	8,000	(50% complete)
Units completed	?
Units accounted for	?
