Hi could you please solve the following question:-
Castellanos Foods is a Greek producer of world-renowned spanakopita. The company uses a first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing system to cost its production of spanakopita in trays through three departments: filo pastry preparation, filling preparation and baking. Inspection takes place just before the last 20% of the filling is added to the final product in the filling preparation department. The company cost accountant has estimated that this is at 60% incurrence of conversion costs. The remaining direct ingredients are added to all trays that pass inspection. Normal spoilage is 1% of good units that pass inspection in the period.
The following details pertain to the month of December for the filling preparation department:
Beginning work-in-process inventory (trays) 37,500
Trays transferred in from filo pastry preparation 150,000
Trays transferred out to baking 126,000
Ending work-in-process inventory (trays) 60,000
Direct
Transferred ingredients Conversion
Beginning inventory $174,375 $26,250 $28,275
Costs added $705,000 $89,775 $151,830
