Process Costing
A department begins the month with 100 units at a cost of $7,500 and 25% complete in goods in process. An additional 1,000 units are started during the month and additional costs incurred are $12,500. At the end of the month, there are 200 units still in the process which are 50% complete. Using FIFO, the ending balance in the Work in Process Inventory is
