Rigby Limited's machining department had 20000 units in work in process on 1 March. These units were 40 per cent complete with respect to conversion. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. An additional 40000 units were started during March, and 10000 units were in work in process on 31 March. The units in work in process on 31 March were 20 per cent complete with respect to conversion.

Costs incurred in the machining department for March were as follows:

WIP 1 MARCH COSTS INCURRED MARCH TOTAL

DIRECT MATRIAL $78,000 $252,000 $330,000

CONVERSION 23,200 132,800 156,000

TOTAL $101,200 $384,800 $486,000
