Fantastic Decorations Corporation

The Fantastic Decorations Corporation makes wreaths in two departments: Forming and Decorating.
Forming began the month with 500 wreaths in process that were 100 percent complete as to material
and 40 percent complete as to conversion. During the month, 6,500 wreaths were started. At month
end, Forming had 2,100 wreaths that were still in process that were 100 percent complete as to
material and 50 percent complete as to conversion. Assume Forming uses the weighted average
method of process costing. Costs in the Forming Department are as follows:
