Department A had no Work$-$in$-$Process at the beginning of the period, $1,000$ units were completed during the period, $200$ units were $50\%$ completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs were debited to the departmental Work$-$in$-$Process account during the period:

Direct materials $(1,200$ at $$10)$$ $12,000$Direct labor$5,500$Factory overhead$4,400$

Assuming that all direct materials are added at the beginning of production and Department A uses weighted$-$average process costing, what is the total cost of the departmental Work$-$in$-$Process Inventory at the end of the period?
