Units completed at the beginning of the period = 25% * 1800 = 450

Add Units completed during the period = 13,100

Less Work in Process Ending Inventory = 1500 * 20% = 300

Unit completed = 13250

Costs Added During the period

Beginning WIP = $ 30300

Direct Materials = $ 115,200

Direct labor 129,500

Factory overhead 38,850

Total Costs of the departmental work in process inventory at the end of the period = $ 313850
