Armstrong Corporation produces a single product that is manufactured in two departments, Assembly and Finishing. Units of product are started in the Assembly Department and then transferred to the Finishing Department, where they are completed. Units are inspected for spoilage in the Finishing Department exactly halfway through the production process, after half of the direct materials and conversion costs have been added to the units. If spoilage is detected at this time, the spoiled units are removed from production and scrapped. Good units are transferred to finished goods inventory, normal spoilage is charged to good units completed, and abnormal spoilage is charged as a period expense to the income statement. Normal spoilage is expected to be 10% of the good units transferred to finished goods inventory during the month. At the end of June, 12,000 units were still in process in the Finishing Department, 40% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs. During July, 25,000 units were transferred from the Assembly Department to the Finishing Department, and 28,500 were transferred from the Finishing Department to finished goods inventory. At the end of July, the Finishing Department still had 4,500 units in process, 60% complete as to materials, and 40% complete as to conversion costs.
