2,4) Saline Solutions uses process costing to account for production of its unique compound BG at its River Plant. The River Plant has two departments: R and S. Raw materials are added at two points in the production of BG. First, rubber pellets are added at the beginning of production in Department R. Next, a liquid thinner is added in Department R when the product is 70 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Once the basic compound is completed in Department R, it is transferred to Department S for mixing and packaging. The following information is available from the River Plant for May. (No new material is added in Department S.) Department S Production and Costs: May Beginning inventory (51,000 units, 20% complete with respect to Department S costs) Total cost (Department R and Department S) cost: Beginning inventory Current work (495,000 units started) Department R costs Department S costs $ 483,779 $3,451,100 1,568,291 The ending inventory has 71,000 units, which are 100 percent complete for Department R costs. Required: a. Assume that Saline Solutions used weighted-average process costing and that the cost per equivalent unit for May for materials in Department S is $7.10 and for conversion costs it is $3.10. Prepare a production cost report for Saline Solutions' Department S for the month of May. b. What is the cost of product transferred out of Department S for May? c. What is the cost of ending inventory in Department S for May? < Prev 11 of 18 Next > Department S for the month of May. (Round "Cost per equivalent unit" to 2 decimal places.)
