costing system. For a particular period, its opening
inventory consisted of 100 items (60 per cent complete
as to conversion costs) whose costs were $1600 made up
of material $300 and conversion cost $1300. During the
month, 1000 items were started and 950 were completed.
Ending inventory of WIP was one-third complete. There
was no spoilage. Costs placed in process during the
month were materials $1600 and conversion costs $13
700.

amount of cost that would be allocated to goods
completed in the period?
Select one:
a. $14 615
b. $16 513
c. $16 900
