Reed Corporation makes a health beverage named Reed that is manufactured in a two-stage production process. The drink is first created in the Conversion Department where material ingredients (natural juices, supplements, preservatives, etc.) are combined. On July 1, 2011, the company had a sufficient quantity of partially completed beverage mix in the Conversion Department to make 40,000 containers of Reed. This beginning inventory had a cost of $30,000. During July, the company added ingredients necessary to make 160,000 containers of Reed. The cost of these ingredients was $154,000. During July, liquid mix representing 180,000 containers of the beverage was transferred to the Finishing Department. The beverage mix is poured into containers and packaged for shipment in the Finishing Department. Beverage that remained in the Conversion Department at the end of July was 20 percent complete. At the beginning of July the Finishing Department had 10,000 containers of beverage mix. The cost of this mix was $24,000. The department added $44,000 of manufacturing costs (materials, labor and overhead) during July. During July, 120,000 containers of Reed were completed. The ending inventory for this department was 50 percent complete at the end of July.
