Southwell Chemical Company produces a chemical preservative in two departments, Refining and Blending. The process begins in the Refining Department, where the liquid chemical base is removed from a crude chemical stock purchased from a large domestic chemical company. The liquid base is then transferred to the Blending Department, where other chemicals are added, which increase the total quantity of the product. The blended product is then transferred to Finished Goods to await sale and shipment to customers. Materials are added at the beginning of the process in the Blending Department. At the end of April, there were 2,000 units in process in the Blending Department, 20% complete as to labor and 40% complete as to overhead.
