Problem 4-14A Analysis of Work in Process T-account-Weighted-Average Method [LO4-1, LO4-2, LO4-3, LO4-4] Weston Products manufactures an industrial cleaning compound that goes through three processing departments—Grinding, Mixing, and Cooking. All raw materials are introduced at the start of work in the Grinding Department. The Work in Process T-account for the Grinding Department for May is given below: Work in Process—Grinding Department ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Inventory, May 1 21,800 Completed and transferred to the Mixing Department ? Materials 133,400 Conversion 225,500 ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Inventory, May 31 ? ________________________________________ The May 1 work in process inventory consisted of 18,000 pounds with $14,600 in materials cost and $7,200 in conversion cost.
