Cartwright Custom Carpentry manufactures chairs in its Processing Department, and uses the FIFO cost flow assumption. Direct Materials are included at the inception of the production cycle and must be bundled in single kits for each unit. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the production cycle. After inspection some units are spoiled due to non-detectable materials defects and are found during the end point inspection. Spoiled units generally constitute 3 percent of the good units. Data provided for March 20x1 is as follows:
WIP, Beginning inventory 3/1/20x1 | 30,000 units |
Direct materials: 100% complete | |
Conversion costs: 89.5% complete | |
