The following data relate to a process
Input
1,000 units at a cost of $2,700
Output
860 units
Normal loss
10% of input
No inventory is held
What is the cost per unit of the process output?
I calculated the cost per unit as 2.7 because whether the process is input or output the cost per unit is same, is that correct?
Ask the Tutor ACCA MA
Cost per unit
4y ago#1Why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers - they have answers and explanations!!
You answer is not correct. The expected output is 1,000 - (10% x 1,000) = 900 units.
Therefore the cost per unit is $2,700 / 900 = $3.
This is all explained in detail in my free lectures on process costing. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
