Opening work-in-process 21,700
Raw materials input 105,600
Output completed 92,400
Closing work-in-process 28,200
The opening and closing work-in-process are respectively 60 per cent and 50 per cent complete as to conversion costs. Raw materials are added at the beginning of the manufacturing process. However, conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the manufacturing process. Losses occur at the beginning of the process and have a scrap value of $0.45 per kg. The opening work-in-process included raw material costs of $56,420 and conversion costs of $30,597.
Costs incurred during the period were:
