Gray Manufacturing Company makes pennants for college and university athletic teams. The company uses a process costing system to accumulate product costs as the pennants move through the two stages of production: cutting and silk-screening. All materials are added at the beginning of both cutting and silk-screening processes, while conversion costs are applied evenly throughout the process."
