Materials Conversion
Cost of work in process inventory at the beginning of the period $ 3,200 $ 650
Equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory 400 200
Equivalent units required to complete the beginning work in process inventory 600 1,200

A total of 26,000 units were completed and transferred to the next processing department during the period. Beginning work in process inventory consisted of 2,000 units and ending work in process inventory consisted of 1,000 units.

Required:

1. Compute the Assembly Department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for the period.

2. Compute the Assembly Department's cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for the period.
