Pittsburgh Aluminum Company uses a process cost system to record the costs of manufacturing rolled aluminum, which consists of the smelting and rolling processes. Materials are entered from smelting at the beginning of the rolling process. The inventory of Work in Process-Rolling on September 1 and debits to the account during September were as follows: Bal., 1,200 units, 60% completed: Direct materials (1,200 x $3.6) $ 4,320 Conversion (1,200 x 60% x $1.5) 1,080 $ 5,400 From Smelting Department, 27,000 units $99,900 Direct labor 25,667 Factory overhead 13,821 During September, 1,200 units in process on September 1 were completed, and of the 27,000 units entering the department, all were completed except 3,500 units that were 20% completed. Charges to Work in Process-Rolling for October were as follows: From Smelting Department, 31,000 units $120,900 Direct labor 35,450 Factory overhead 19,086 During October, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 31,000 units entering the department, all were completed except 1,600 units that were 80% completed.
