Consider the following data for November2017
from Cranberry Manufacturing Company, which makes silk pennants and uses a process-costing system. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Spoilage is detected upon inspection at the completion of the process. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value.
Cranberry
Manufacturing Company uses the FIFO method of process costing.
