Wilson Dynamics makes flanges in a continuous process through two departments: Forging and Assembly. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process in the Forging Department, whereas all direct materials are added at the end of the process in the Assembly Department. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly over time in both departments. As units are completed in the Forging Department, they are transferred to the Assembly Department. The costs associated with the transferred units are included in the computation of the Assembly Department's total costs. The information presented as follows was compiled at the end of July.
