    A product is manufactured in two processes.Details for the seconds process in period 4 were as followed:

    Opening work in progress nil
    materials transferred from the first process 4000 litres
    Output transferred to finished goods 2900 litres
    Closing work -in-progress 800 litres
    normal loss is 5%.Losses have no scrap value

    Closing work in progress is 100% complete for material and 60% complete for labour and overheads.
    The cost per unit equivalent has been calculated at $3.32 per litre for materials and $2.20 per litres for labour and overhead.

    the equivalent units of output for labour and overheads for the period were :
    A 2900 Litres
    B 3440 Litres
    C 3480 litres
    D 3800 litres

    I believe this question does not include the correct option or it could be wrongly framed up.
    The Answer should be 3,380.

    when you add 60% of 800 t0 2900 you get 3380 which is the answer.
    Do not worry if you get this same answer of mine as there are a few topographical errors in bpp questions.
    Wish you well in your studies

    yea 3480
    2900+480(w)+100
    W=(60%*800)
    100 is abnormal loss
