Materials costs of $720000 and conversion costs of $800800 were charged to a processing department in the month of September. All materials are added at the beginning of the process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. There were no units in beginning work in process, 120000 units were started into production in September, and there were 8000 units in ending work in process that were 30% complete at the end of September. What was the total amount of manufacturing costs assigned to those units that were completed and transferred out of the process in September

The total amount of manufacturing costs assigned to those units that were completed and transferred out of the process in September is:

= $1,456,000.
