Kaeding Company manufactures car seats in its Miami plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and testing department. This problem focuses on the testing department. Direct materials are added when the testing department process is 90% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during the testing department's process. As work in assembly is completed, each unit is immediately transferred to testing. As each unit is completed in testing, it is immediately transferred to Finished Goods. Kaeding Company uses the weighted average method of process costing. Data for the testing department for October 2017 are as follows: (Click the icon to view the testing department data.) Read the requirements, Requirement 1. What is the percentage of completion for (a) transferred-in costs and direct materials in beginning work-in-process inventory and (b) transferred-in costs and direct materials in ending work-in-process inventory?
