FIFO Method, Two-Department Analysis

Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February:

		Molding		Assembly
Beginning inventories:
Physical units		10,000		8,000
Costs:
Transferred in				$45,300
Direct materials		$22,000
Conversion costs		$13,800		$16,900
Current production:
Units started		25,000		?
Units transferred out		30,000		35,000
Costs:
Transferred in				?
Direct materials		$56,750		$39,550
Conversion costs		$103,500		$136,500
Percentage of completion:
Beginning inventory		40%		50%
Ending inventory		80		50
