Giddings Pharmaceutical Company is a maker of drugs for high blood pressure and uses a process costing system. The following information pertains to the final department of Giddings's blockbuster drug called Solcax.

Beginning work-in-process (40% completed)	760

Good units transferred out	3,400
Ending work-in-process (31% completed)	570
Conversion costs in beginning inventory	$2,440

Giddings calculates separate costs of spoilage by computing both normal and abnormal spoiled units. Normal spoilage costs are reallocated to good units and abnormal spoilage costs are charged as a loss.
