Process costing
4y ago#1There is no point in simply typing out a full question and expecting to be provided with a full answer.
You must have an answer in the same book which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain.
This question could not possibly be asked in the exam because you cannot be asked to write up a process account (although you are expected to be able to calculate all of the relevant figures).
I suggest that you watch 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.
