Azule Co. manufactures in two sequential processes, cutting and binding. The two departments report the information below for a recent month. Cutting Binding Beginning work in process Transferred in from cutting dept. $ 1,200 Direct materials $ 1,095 2,862 Conversion 3,650 3,800 Costs added during March Direct materials $ 13,740 $ 9,332 Conversion 18,300 19,475 Transferred in from cutting dept. 17,395 Transferred to finished goods 31,000 Determine the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department.

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
