cutting department was 40% complete. Direct materials are added at
the beginning of the process.
Beginning work in process in the finishing department was 80%

are added near the end of the process. Beginning inventories
included $24,000 for transferred-in costs and $28,000 for
conversion costs. Ending inventory was 30% complete. Additional
