Samantha's Office Supplies manufactures desk organizers in its Processing Department. Direct materials are included at the inception of the production cycle and must be bundled in single kits for each unit. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the production cycle. Inspection takes place as units are placed into production. After inspection, some units are spoiled due to undetectable material defects. Spoiled units generally constitute 5% of the good units.
