Hello sir , Please help me with the below question . Material input 200 kg at $4 per kg Labour input 100 hours at $15/hr Dept overhead $1000 Trfr to finished goods 150kg Normal loss is 10% of input . Losses are identified when the process is 50% complete. There is no opening and closing work in progress . What is the total cost of the completed unit ? In the above question ,how do we get Actual loss 50 kg ?

They input 200 Kg, but the transfer out to finished goods is 150 kg. Therefore they actually lost 200 - 150 = 50 kg.
