Ending work in process inventory 18,000 30% According to the company records the conversion cost in the beginning work in process inventory was $63.104 at the beginning of September .additional conversion costs of 654,240 were incurred in the department during the month. All I need formula for this problem. Thank you....

To calculate the conversion costs for the given scenario, you can use the following formula:

Conversion Costs = (Beginning Work in Process Inventory x Percentage) + Transferred In + Additional Conversion Costs - (Ending Work in Process Inventory x Percentage)

Given values:
Beginning Work in Process Inventory = $63,104
Percentage for Beginning Work in Process Inventory = 40%
Transferred In = $72,000
Ending Work in Process Inventory = $18,000
Percentage for Ending Work in Process Inventory = 30%
Additional Conversion Costs = $654,240

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

Conversion Costs = ($63,104 x 40%) + $72,000 + $654,240 - ($18,000 x 30%)

Now, let's calculate each part separately:

($63,104 x 40%) = $25,241.6
($18,000 x 30%) = $5,400

Putting the values back into the formula:

Conversion Costs = $25,241.6 + $72,000 + $654,240 - $5,400

Finally, adding up these values:

Conversion Costs = $25,241.6 + $72,000 + $654,240 - $5,400

Conversion Costs = $746,081.6

Therefore, the conversion costs for the given scenario is $746,081.6.
