The data below summarize the department's operations in January. Percent Complete with Respect to Conversion Beginning work in process inventory Transferred in from the prior department during January Completed and transferred to the next department during January Ending work in process inventory Units 8,300 70,000 69,800 8,500 10% 80% The Molding Department's cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost for January was $3.25. How much conversion cost was assigned to the ending work in process inventory in the Molding Department for January?
