Pureform, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:

Units started in process 918,000
Units transferred out 940,000
Work in process inventory, ending 75,000
Cost added during the month $ 1,674,620 $ 850,465 $ 995,225

The beginning work in process inventory was 90% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 70% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor and overhead.
