Old Country Links, Incorporated, produces sausages in three
production departments—Mixing, Casing and Curing, and Packaging. In
the Mixing Department, meats are prepared and ground and then mixed
with spices. The spiced meat mixture is then transferred to the
Casing and Curing Department, where the mixture is force-fed into

chambers. In the Packaging Department, the cured sausages are
sorted, packed, and labeled. The company uses the weighted-average
method in its process costing system. Data for September for the
