Waterways Problem 03

Because most of the parts for its irrigation systems are standard, Waterways handles the majority of its manufacturing as a process cost system. There are multiple process departments. Three of these departments are the Molding, Cutting, and Welding departments. All items eventually end up in the Packaging Department, which prepares items for sale in kits or individually. The following information is available for the Molding department for January.
