Toll House makes chocolate chip cookies. The cookies pass through three production processes: mixing the cookie dough, baking, and packaging. Toll House uses process costing.

The following are data concerning the costs incurred in each process during May, along with the number of units processed:

To ensure freshness, cookies are baked and packaged on the same day that the dough is mixed. Thus, the company has no inventory still in process at the end of a business day.
