Started during August 11,000 units
Completed and transferred out 10,000 units
Ending work in process inventory (20%) ?
Beginning WIP inventory costs:
Direct materials $500
Direct labor 400
Factory overhead 240
August production costs:
Direct materials $4,440
Direct labor 8,000
Factory overhead 4,610
