The Fields Company has two manufacturing departments, forming and painting. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing. At the beginning of the month, the forming department has 31,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning inventory cost of $72,100 consisted of $52,000 of direct materials costs and $20,100 of conversion costs.

During the month, the forming department started 420,000 units. At the end of the month, the forming department had 40,000 units in ending inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion. Units completed in the forming department are transferred to the painting department.

Cost information for the forming department is as follows:

Beginning work in process inventory: $72,100

Direct materials added during the month: $1,631.400

Conversion added during the month: $1,079,700

1. Using the weighted-average method, assign costs to the forming department's output - specifically, its units transferred to painting and its ended working process inventory.
