Felicity Feathers Inc. makes feather pillows. The manufacturing takes place in two departments: the sewing department and the stuffing department. The sewing department cuts the cover for the pillow from cotton fabric, sews it together and adds a zipper to allow input of the feather stuffing. The stuffing department fills the pillow covers with feather down, and inspects and packages the pillows for sale. Felicity uses process costing to determine its product costs. All materials for each department are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are added evenly throughout. The following details are available for June production in the sewing department.
