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.
