The cost of units transferred out during the month was:$ 99980

Explanation:

Mundes Corporation

Current Costs Added

Units Transferred Costs $ 90480

Materials = 8700 * $ 4.7 = $ 40890

Conversion = 8700 * $5.70 = $ 49590

Costs from Preceding Department (WIP beginning Inventory) = $ 9500

Total Costs = Costs Added + Costs from Preceding Department

= $ 90480 + $ 9500 = $ 99980

The Costs of units transferred out is $ 99980

The current costs are added to the preceding costs to get the total costs of the units transferred out.
