Cool Drinks Inc. $($CDI$)$ manufactures beverages in a highly automated process. Its costing system uses two cost categories: direct materials and conversion costs. Each batch of product must pass through the Mixing Department and the Testing Department. Direct materials are all added at the beginning of the production process, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production. CDI uses the weighted average cost method for costing.
