(a) {4 marks) Question 2 Hot Handle Company (\"HH\") manufactures non-stick frying pans. HH uses process costing and weighted average costing to account for product costs. The manufacturing process takes place in two sequential departments. Frying pans completed in Moulding Department during a certain calendar month are transferred to Assembly Department to be attached with the handle and packaging, in thefollowing month. The cost data relating to April and May 2020: Moulding Assembly Department Department (Apri12020) 3 (May 2020} 5 Direct material incurred ' $134,000 5 $156,000 1 Conversion costs incurred $228,000 $306,000 Beginning WIP $0 DM $2,000 CC. $1,000 ' Transferred in $2,000 . Ending WIP $0 $? I l There was no beginning and ending work in process ("WIP") in April 2020 for the Moulding Department. All material and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the Moulding process. In Assembly Department, handles (raw material) are added at the beginning of the production process. Frying pans are inspected at 90% point in Assembly Department. If a frying pan does not pass the inspection, no packaging cost is added to the product cost, and the defective frying pans are discarded. At the end of the production process in Assembly Department, 'good' frying pans are transferred to the warehouse for storage.
