Seacrest Company uses a process costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: A and B. As work is completed, it is transferred out. All inputs are added uniformly in Department A. The following summarizes the production activity and costs for November: Department A Department B Beginning inventories: Physical units 5,000 8,000 Costs: Transferred in $45,320 Direct materials $10,000 Conversion costs $6,900 $16,800 Current production: Units started 25,000 ? Units transferred out 28,000 33,000 Costs: Transferred in - ? Direct materials $57,800 $37,950 Conversion costs $95,220 $128,100 Percentage completion: 40% 50% Beginning inventory Ending inventory 80% 50% Required: 1.
