Refining finished 274,000 units in September and transferred them to Packaging. At the end of September, there were 42,800 units in work-in-process inventory. The units were 20 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. The Refining Department uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The Mixing Department at the Grant Street Plant uses the FIFO method of process costing. If the Mixing Department at the plant had used the weighted-average method, the amount of costs transferred in from Mixing would have been $183,600 for the amount transferred in this month. Required: Prepare a production cost report for September for the Refining Department.
