The River Plant has two departments: R and S. Raw materials are added at two points in the production of BG. First, rubber pellets are added at the beginning of production in Department R. Next, a liquid thinner is added in Department R when the product is 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. Once the basic compound is completed in Department R, it is transferred to Department S for mixing and packaging. The following information is available from the River Plant for May. (No new material is added in Department S.)Department S Production and Costs: May Beginning inventory (50,000 units, 30% complete with respect to Department S costs)

Current work (490,000 units started) 
Department R costs ..................................................................................... $3,449,600
