	Materials	Conversion cost
Units transferred out	12600	12600
(+) Ending work in process equivalent units [ Ending work in process units * % Completion ]	3400	2040

Transferred out [ (12600*4.20) + (12600*2.45) ]		83790
Work in proces, July 31
Materials [ 3400 * 4.20 ]	14280
Conversion cost [ 2040 * 2.45 ]	4998	19278
Total cost		103068
