66. Giddings Pharmaceutical Company is a maker of drugs for high blood pressure and uses
a process costing system. The following information pertains to the final department of
Giddings's blockbuster drug called Solcax.
Beginning work-in-process (40% completed) 800 units
Transferred-in 4,000 units
Normal spoilage 400 units
Abnormal spoilage 200 units
Good units transferred out 3,600 units
Ending work-in-process (1/3 completed) 600 units
Conversion costs in beginning inventory $2,560
Current conversion costs $6,900
Giddings calculates separate costs of spoilage by computing both normal and abnormal spoiled
units. Normal spoilage costs are reallocated to good units and abnormal spoilage costs are
charged as a loss. The units of Solcax that are spoiled are the result of defects not discovered
before inspection of finished units. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Using
the weighted-average method, answer the following question:
What are the unit conversion costs?

71. O'Leary Company manufactures Product Z in a two-stage production cycle in
Departments A and B. Materials are added at the beginning of the process in Department B.
O'Leary uses the weighted-average method. Conversion costs for Department B were 40%
complete as to the 5,000 units in the beginning work-in-process (WIP) inventory and 50%
complete as to the 7,000 units in the ending work-in-process inventory. 10,000 units were
completed and transferred out of Department B during October. An analysis of the costs relating
to work-in-process inventories and production activity in Department B for October follows:
Transferred-
