Bal., 2,600 units, completed:
Direct materials (2,600 x $15.50)
$40,300
Conversion (2,600 x x $8.50)
5,525
$45,825
From Smelting Department, 28,900 units
462,400
Direct labor
158,920
Factory overhead

During September, 2,600 units in process on September 1 were completed, and of the 28,900 units entering the department, all were completed except 2,900 units that were 4/5 completed.
