Company manufactures car seats in its

plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department andthe testing department. This problem focuses on the testingdepartment. Direct materials are added when the testing departmentprocess is

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.
