Carmen Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Direct labor is added evenly

Question:

Carmen Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Direct labor is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. During November, the company transferred 735,000 units of product to finished goods.
