Cane's Canvas makes wallets and purses.There are 2 departments.The Fabric Department takes salvaged fabric and converts it into 8 x 6 reams of usable fabric.Salvaged fabric is added to the Fabric Department in the beginning, while fabric conversion costs are added throughout the process.Wallets and purses only differ in how the spools are converted in the Finishing Department.There is never work-in-process inventory here and no difference between wallets or purses. The Finishing Department converts reams of fabric into wallets or purses. One ream produces 5,000 wallets OR 4,000 purses.They are then wrapped for shipping.The material and conversion cost of finishing and wrapping one product is the same for wallets and purses. Finishing conversion costs are added evenly during the process but Finishing Department raw materials for wrapping are added at the end.

There was no inventory to start in September.During the month, the Fabric Department converted 65,000 tons of fabric into 6,500 reams of fabric that was transferred to the Finishing Department.The cost of salvaged fabric was $12 per ton and there were 4,160 machine hours during the month of September.
