Gnomada Company manufactures garden gnomes (decorative lawn products) through two

production departments, Forming and Finishing. When processing is complete in the Forming

Department, the product is transferred to the Finishing Department. In the Finishing

Department, the product is sanded and painted. The paint (material) is added when the

process is 60% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. Data

for the Finishing Department for the month of October are given below:
