Question

Kansas Supplies is a manufacturer of plastic parts that uses the weighted-average process costing method to account for costs of production. It produces parts in three separate departments: Molding, Assembling, and Packaging. The following information was obtained for the Assembling Department for the month of April.

Work in process on April 1 had 114,000 units made up of the following:

	Amount			Degree of Completion
Prior department costs transferred in from the Molding Department	$	163,020			100	%
Costs added by the Assembling Department
Direct materials	$	108,300			100	%
Direct labor		40,688			60	%
Manufacturing overhead		28,374			50	%
	$	177,362
Work in process, April 1	$	340,382

During April, 514,000 units were transferred in from the Molding Department at a cost of $735,020. The Assembling Department added the following costs:

Direct materials	$	467,970

Manufacturing overhead	30

Required:
