Smith Electronic Company’s chip-mounting production department had 300 units of unfinished product, each 50% completed on September 30. During October of the same year, this department put another 900 units into production and completed 1,000 units and transferred them to the next production department. At the end of October, 200 units of unfinished product, 70% completed, were recorded in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory. Smith Electronic introduces all direct materials when the production process is 50% complete. Direct labor and factory overhead (i.e., conversion) costs are added uniformly throughout the process.
