Question

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.

Work in process beginning:
Units in process		21,700
Stage of completion for materials		80%
Stage of completion for labor and overhead		30%
Costs in work in process inventory:
Materials		$167,110
Labor		67,700
Overhead		17,350
Total costs in beginning work in process		$252,160
Units started into production in January		60,000
Units completed and transferred in January		58,300
Costs added to production:
Materials		$267,590
Labor		302,896
Overhead		60,790
Total costs added into production in January		$631,276
Work in process ending:
Units in process		23,400
Stage of completion for materials		50%
Stage of completion for labor and overhead		10%

Prepare a production cost report for Waterways using the weighted-average method. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)
