Goodheart Pharmaceutical Company is a maker of drugs for high blood pressure and uses a process costing system. The following information pertains to the final department of Goodheart's blockbuster drug called Solcax.
Beginning work-in-process (40% completed)775 units
Transferred-in 3,900 units
Normal spoilage 395 units
Abnormal spoilage 195 units
Good units transferred out 3,500 units
Ending work-in-process (1/3 completed)585 units
Conversion costs in beginning inventory $ 3,484
Current conversion costs $ 6,800
Goodheart calculates separate costs of spoilage by computing both normal and abnormal spoiled units. Normal spoilage costs are reallocated to good units and abnormal spoilage costs are charged as a loss. The units of Solcax that are spoiled are the result of defects not discovered before inspection of finished units. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Using the weighted-average method, answer the following question:
What are the total conversion costs of abnormal spoilage?
