Matrix Inc. calculates cost for an equivalent unit of production using both the weighted-average and the FIFO methods.

Data for July:
Work-in-process inventory, July 1 (36,000 units):
Direct materials (100% completed) $122,400
Conversion (50% completed) 76,800
Balance in work in process inventory, July 1 $199,200
Units started during July 90,000
Units completed and transferred 102,000
Work-in-process inventory, July 31:
Direct materials (100% completed) 24,000
Conversion (50% completed)
Cost incurred during July:
Direct materials $180,000
Conversion costs 288,000

The cost of goods completed and transferred out under the weighted-average method is calculated to be:
