Operation Costing; Unit Costs

(Contributed by Roland Minch.) Glass Glow Company manufactures a variety of glass windows in its Egalton plant. In department I, clear glass sheets are produced, and some of these sheets are sold as finished goods. Other sheets made in department I have metallic oxides added in department II to form colored glass sheets. Some of these colored sheets are sold: others are moved to department III for etching and then are sold. The company uses operation costing. Glass Glow Company's production costs applied to products in May are given in the following table. There was no beginning or ending inventory of work in process for May.
