Question

PART B. Problems

1.              The CINEDivision of OMAR Sports Equipment Companymanufactures baseball gloves in its Milwaukee plant.  Two production departments are used in sequence: the Cutting Department and the Stitching Department.  In the Cutting Department, direct material consisting of imitation leather is placed into production at the beginning of the process.  Direct-labor and manufacturing overhead costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process.  The material is rolled to make it softer and then cut into the pieces needed to produce baseball gloves.

                  Below is presented a summary of the activity and costs in the Cutting Department during March.  The direct-material and conversion costs listed below for the March 1 work in process consist of costs that were incurred during February.  These costs were assigned to the units remaining in process at the end of February.
