Exercise 4-5 Cost Reconciliation Report-Weighted-Average Method
[LO4-5]
Maria Am Corporation uses a process costing system. The Baking
Department is one of the processing departments in its strudel
manufacturing facility. In June in the Baking Department, the cost
of beginning work in process inventory was $4,840, the cost of
ending work in process inventory was $1,170, and the cost added to
