Fields Company has two manufacturing departments, forming and painting. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing. At the beginning of the month, the forming department has 30,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning inventory cost of $69,100 consisted of $50,200 of direct materials costs and $18,900 of conversion costs. During the month, the forming department started 390,000 units. At the end of the month, the forming department had 40,000 units in ending inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion. Units completed in the forming department are transferred to the painting department. Cost information for the forming department follows.

Beginning work in process inventory	$	69,100
Direct materials added during the month		1,507,160
Conversion added during the month		1,031,660
