QUESTION 1

Makit Ltd manufactures a product in a single process. All materials are introduced at the start of the process and any losses that occur have no scrap value. The company uses the first-in first-out method of valuation.

Production overheads are absorbed at the rate of ?12 per direct labour hour.

Direct labour is paid at the rate of ?8 per hour.

The following information is available for the last period:

Opening stock of work-in-progress

1,000kg

?8,300

(The opening stock of work in progress was 60% complete with respect to labour and overheads)

Materials introduced

16,000kg

?70,000

Direct labour

?27,600

Transfer to finished goods

14,000kg

Closing stock of work-in-progress

1,200kg

(The closing stock of work-in-progress was 50% complete with respect to labour and overheads)

A normal loss of 2,000kg was expected.

All losses are detected at the end of the process.

REQUIRED

(a) For the last period calculate:

(i) the equivalent units and the cost per unit for each element of cost

(ii) the value of the transfer to finished goods and of the closing stock of work-in-progress

(4 marks) (6 marks)

(b) Prepare the process account showing both quantities and values

(5 marks)

(c) Define normal loss and abnormal loss/gain and contrast briefly their cost accounting treatment (5 marks)

Abnormal gain = 1,000 + 16,000 ? 1,200 ? 14,000 ? 2,000 = (200) Overhead cost = ?27,600 / 8 x 12 = ?41,400

(ii) Cost of opening work-in-progress completed ?8,300 + (1,000 ? 600) x (2.00 + 3.00) = ?10,300

Finished goods = Cost of opening stock completed + Cost of output wholly processed = ?10,300 + [(14,000 ? 1,000) x ?10,00] = ?140,300

Cost of closing work-in-progress = (1,200 x ?5.00) + 600 x (?2.00 + ?3.00) = ?9,000

Normal loss: A loss that is expected in production under normal operating conditions

Abnormal loss: loss that exceeds the normal loss

Abnormal gain: A gain over the expected finished goods output

Normal losses are built into the cost of good units. Any scrap value arising is normally deducted from the cost of material input. Abnormal losses/gains do not affect unit costs as they are separately valued as if they were completed production and are charged as a separate cost item
