Because most of the parts for its irrigation systems are standard, Waterways handles the majority of its manufacturing as a process cost system. There are multiple process departments. Three of these departments are the Molding, Cutting, and Welding departments. All items eventually end up in the Packaging Department, which prepares items for sale in kits or individually. The following information is available for the Molding department for January. Work in process beginning:
Units in process 24,100
Stage of completion for materials 80%
Stage of completion for labor and overhead 30%
Costs in work in process inventory:
Materials $168,470
Labor 68,020
Overhead 17,160
Total costs in beginning work in process $253,650
Units started into production in January 59,800
Units completed and transferred in January 58,300
Costs added to production: Materials $281,593
Labor 311,150
Overhead 60,120
Total costs added into production in January $652,863
Work in process ending:
Units in process 25,600
Stage of completion for materials 50%
Stage of completion for labor and overhead 10%

Required:
Prepare a production cost report for Waterways using the weighted-average method.

it was decent, could have been a little better.. how bout you lol.

d. all of the above are true.
