    A company operates several production processes involving the mixing of ingredients to
    produce bulk animal feedstuffs. One such product is mixed in two separate process operations.
    The information below is of the costs incurred in, and output from, Process 2 during the period
    just completed.
    Cost incurred:
    Transfers from Process 1 187,704
    Raw materials costs 47,972
    Conversions costs 63,176
    Opening work in progress 3,009
    Production: Units
    Opening work in progress
    (100% complete, apart from Process 2
    conversion costs which were 50% complete)
    1 ,200
    Transfers from Process 1 112,000
    Completed output 105,400
    Closing work in progress
    (100% complete, apart from Process 2
    conversion costs which were 75% complete)
    1,600
    Normal wastage of materials (including product transferred from Process 1), which occurs in
    the early stages of Process 2 (after all materials have been added), is expected to be 5% of
    input.
    Process 2 conversion costs are all apportioned to units of good output. Wastage materials have
    no saleable value.
    Required: Prepare the Process 2 account for the period, using FIFO principles.

    Ans is CWIP – 4,259; Finished goods – 296,273; Abnormal loss – 1,329

    But i cant get the ans can show me the steps how to do it maybe some step i got wrongly.

    Hi Milk – sorry for the delay – the good news is that process costing ( like the lengthy question you posted above) is not on the CIMA BA2 syllabus.

    If this isn’t a CIMA question then you may want to ask elsewhere for the answer.

    I ‘think’ process costing is on the ACCA F2 syllabus ( that Open Tuition provides elsewhere on this site) – so you could try watching those videos to get your answer?

    Thanks
