Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the ending balance in the work in process inventory for each department is shown below:

For Cutting department

= Direct material + conversion + cost added for direct material + cost added for conversion - transferred in from cutting department

= $1,095 + $3,650 + $13,740 + $18,300 - $17,395

= $19,390

And, for binding department

= Transferred in from cutting department Direct material + conversion + cost added for direct material + cost added for conversion - transferred to finished goods

= $1,200 + $2,862 + $3,800 + $9,332 + $19,475 - $31,000

= $5,669
