    One of the products manufactured by the company passes through two separate processes. In
    each process losses, arising from rejected material, occur. In Process 1, normal losses are 20 per
    cent of input. In Process 2, normal losses are 10 per cent of input. The losses arise at the end of
    each of the processes. Reject material can be sold. Process 1 reject material can be sold for $1.20
    per kilo and Process 2 reject material for $1.42 per kilo.
    Information for a period is as follows:
    Process 1:
    Material input 9000 kilos, cost $14 964
    Direct labour
    $12 250
    Production overhead
    Material output 7300 kilos
    Process 2:
    Material input 7300 kilos
    Direct labour
    $5000
    Production overhead $1300
    Material output 4700 kilos
    $ 2 450
    At the end of the period 2000 kilos of material were incomplete in Process 2. These were 50 per
    cent complete as regards direct labour and production overhead. There was no opening work in
    progress in either process, and no closing work in progress in Process 1.
    Required:
    Prepare the relevant cost accounts for the period.

    Please do not simply type out a full question and expect to be provided with a full answer.
    You must have an answer in the same book in 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.

    Have you watched 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.

    (And, of course, dealing with part finished WIP in longer examinable in Paper MA)
