Santana Mortgage Company uses a process cost system to accumulate costs in its Application Department. When an application is completed, it is forwarded to the Loan Department for final processing. The following processing and cost data pertain to September.
 Materials are the forms used in the application process, and these costs are incurred at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process.
Prepare a cost reconciliation schedule. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)
