Required

1. Using the average costing method and assuming no loss due to spoilage, prepare a process cost report for April. If an amount box does not require an entry, enter “0”. Round your answers to the nearest dollar, except for per unit amounts. For per unit amounts, round to two decimal places. For the percentages, do not enter the percent sign. For example, 60% would be entered as 60.

2. From the information in the process cost report, identify the amount that should be transferred out of the Work in Process Inventory account. State where those dollars should be transferred.
