Waterways Problem 03
Because most of the parts for its irrigation systems are
standard, Waterways handles the majority of its manufacturing as a
process cost system. There are multiple process departments. Three
of these departments are the Molding, Cutting, and Welding
departments. All items eventually end up in the Packaging
Department, which prepares items for sale in kits or
individually.
The following information is available for the Molding department
for January.
