FIFO Method, Two-Department Analysis

Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February:

Molding Assembly
Beginning inventories:
  Physical units 10,000   8,000  
  Costs:
    Transferred in —   $45,300  
    Direct materials $22,000   —  
    Conversion costs $13,800   $16,900  
Current production:
  Units started 25,000   ?  
  Units transferred out 30,000   35,000  
  Costs:
    Transferred in —   ?  
    Direct materials $56,750   $40,250  
    Conversion costs $106,500   $143,000  
  Percentage of completion:
    Beginning inventory 40% 50%
    Ending inventory 80   50
