Burlson Company manufactures car seats in its Chicago plant.Each car seat passes through the assembly department and thetesting department. This problem focuses on the testing department.Direct materials are added when the testing department process is90​% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during thetesting​ department's process. As work in assemblyis​ completed, each unit is immediately transferred totesting. As each unit is completed in​ testing, it isimmediately transferred to Finished Goods.
Burleson Company uses the​ weighted-average method ofprocess costing. Data for the testing department for October 2020are as​ follows:
Physical Units
Transferred-In
Direct
Conversion
(Car Seats)
Costs

1.
What is the percentage of completion for​ transferred-incosts and direct materials in​ (a)beginning​ work-in-process inventory and​ (b)ending​ work-in-process inventory?
2.
For each cost​ category, compute equivalent units in thetesting department. Show physical units in the first column of yourschedule.
