A sporting goods manufacturer buys wood as a direct material for baseball bats. The Forming Department processes the baseball bats, and the bats are then transferred to the Finishing Department where a sealant is applied. There was no beginning work in process inventory in the Forming Department in May. The Forming Department began manufacturing 10,000 Casey Slugger baseball bats during May. Costs for the Forming Department for the month of May were as follows:
Direct materials $33,000
Conversion costs $17,000
A total of 8,000 bats were completed and transferred to the Finishing Department during May. The ending work in process inventory was 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 25% complete with respect to conversion costs. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing.
