this is Qs from kaplan study text chapter 7 – Additional qs 2
i have doubt in wip Represent two month’ half- produced goods’
normally it should be done as 2/12 x ( Dl+DM+V o/h)
but in solution it has used 1/12 x ( DL + DM + V o/H)
explanation for this is —– 2 months @ half produced — 1 month equivalent cost
i’m not getting this please help me in this concept.
ThankyouIt states in the information that WIP represents two months half produced goods.
WIP is never fully completed units that is why it is called Work in Progress units.So half produced goods will have half the value of fully produced goods, so two months half produced goods will have the same the value of one month fully produced units effectively.
