Cloth and stuffing are added at the beginning of the production process; the angels are packaged in sky-blue boxes at the end of production.

How many units were completed in June? b. How many of the defective units are considered a normal loss? An abnomal loss? c. What is the per-unit cost of the completed units?

What is the total cost of ending inventory?
