AccuBlade Castings Inc. casts blades for turbine engines. Within the Casting Department, alloy is first melted in a crucible, then poured into molds to produce the castings. On May 1, there were 900 pounds of alloy in process, which were 60% complete as to conversion. The Work in Process balance for these 900 pounds was $140,940, determined as follows:

Direct materials (900 x $150)	$135,000
Conversion (900 x 60% x $11)	5,940
	$140,940

During May, the Casting Department was charged $1,241,000 for 8,500 pounds of alloy and $34,040 for direct labor. Factory overhead is applied to the department at a rate of 150% of direct labor.
