Cost reconciliation report

============================================================

For the Baking Department for June

============================================================

Cost of beginning work in process inventory                  $4,840

Cost added to production                                                 $25,750

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total Cost to be accounted for                                         $30,590

=============================================================

=============================================================

Cost of units Completed and transferred                      $30,590 - $1,130

                                                                                         = $29,460

Cost of ending work in process inventory                      $1,130
