1. TheCINEDivision of OMAR Sports EquipmentCompanymanufactures baseball gloves in its Milwaukeeplant. Two production departments are used in sequence:the Cutting Department and the Stitching Department. Inthe Cutting Department, direct material consisting of imitationleather is placed into production at the beginning of theprocess. Direct-labor and manufacturing overhead costsare incurred uniformly throughout the process. Thematerial is rolled to make it softer and then cut into the piecesneeded to produce baseball gloves.
Belowis presented a summary of the activity and costs in the CuttingDepartment during March. The direct-material andconversion costs listed below for the March 1 work in processconsist of costs that were incurred duringFebruary. These costs were assigned to the unitsremaining in process at the end of February.
