Helix Corporation produces prefabricated flooring in a series of steps carried out in production departments. All of the material that is used in the first production department is added at the beginning of processing in that department. Data for May for the first production department follow:
Percent Complete
Units Materials Conversion
Work in process inventory, May 1 6,800 85% 65%
Work in process inventory, May 31 11,500 75% 40%
________________________________________
Materials cost in work in process inventory, May 1 $2,500
Conversion cost in work in process inventory, May 1 $5,500
Units started into production 160,700
Units transferred to the next production department 156,000
Materials cost added during May $56,000
Conversion cost added during May $359,000
