The following data concern the operations of thecompany’s first processing department, Assembly, for June 2012.
Beginning Work in Process: |
800 mops, 60% complete with respect to direct materials, 10% complete with respect to conversion |
Costs in Beginning Work in Process: |
$3,712 (of this amount, $1,296 is for direct materials) |
Units Started in June: |
16,000 mops |
Direct Product Costs Added During June: |
direct materials $47,076; direct labor $216,213 |
Ending Work in Process: |
300 mops, 60% completed with respect to direct materials, 70% complete with respect to conversion |
During June, 74,230 actual machine hours were logged during production.
(round all calculation to 2 decimal places. round final answers to the nearest dollar.)

*Conversion costs incurred this period:
Predetermined overhead rate = $300000/100000 = $3 per machine hour
Overheads applied in June = 74230 x $3 = $222690
Conversion costs incurred = Direct labor + MOH = $216213 + $222690 = $438903
