The following information of process inputs, outputs and work in process relates to the Encapsulating department for the month of April 2022: kg 26,700 Opening work in process Raw materials input Output completed Closing work in process 110,600 98,400 29,200 The opening and closing work in process are respectively 50 per cent and 70 per cent complete as to conversion costs. Raw materials are added at the beginning of the manufacturing process. However, conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the manufacturing process. Spoilages are assumed to occur at the stage of completion where inspection takes place. All spoilages are assumed to be from units started during the month. Inspection takes place when the products are 90% complete. The opening work in process included the transferred-in costs of $200,250 from the Mixing department, raw material costs of $106,800 and conversion costs of S80,100. Costs incurred during the period were: Transferred-in costs, Mixing department $553,000 $331,800 $456,880 Raw material input Conversion costs The normal spoilage is 3 per cent of the units inspected.
