QUESTION.

The Chang Manufacturing Company makes wood-finishing stain and uses the FIFO method of process costing for its stain manufacturing activity. The production of stain begins with the blending of various chemicals and ends with the canning of the stain. Canning occurs when the mixture reaches the 90% stage of completion. After canning, the cans are transferred to the shipping department. Here the cans are crated and shipped to various customers. Conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the process. The following are the actual production data for the canning department for April:

Costs added in April:

Direct materials- cans 10,000
Direct labour 425,500
