Direct materials are added at the end of the production process. In August, the following data were recorded for the testing department:

Required:
For August, summarize the total costs to account for, compute the cost per equivalent unit for transferred-in, direct materials, and conversion costs, and assign costs to units completed and transferred out and to units in ending work-in-process.
\begin{tabular}{lcccc} Testing Department & Physicalunits & Transferred-inCosts & Directmaterials & ConversionCosts \\ \hline Work-in-process, beginning inventory, August 1* & 3,000 & $19,800 & $18,000 & $37,200 \\ & 21,000 & & & \\ Transferred in during August & 15,000 & & & \\ Completed and transferred out & 9,000 & & & \\ Work-in-process, ending inventory, August 31^ & & $144,000 & $126,000 & \\ Total costs added during August & & & \\ * Degree of completion: transferred-in 100\%; direct materials, 20\%; conversion costs, 35\% & \\ ^ Degree of completion: transferred-in 100\%; direct materials, 40\%; conversion costs, 70\% & \end{tabular}
