The following activity took place in the Finishing Department during May: Work in process, May 1 - 1,400 units; transferred in from the Assembly Department - 14,000; spoilage - 700; completed and transferred to finished goods inventory - 11,200. Direct material is added at the beginning of the processing in the Finishing Department without changing the number of units being processed. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. The work in process inventory was 70% complete as to conversion costs in May 1 and 40% complete as to conversion costs on May 31.

Nicole Company employs the weighted-average costing method.
