The following details relate to production for the month of April 20X9, for Process 2. (i) Work-in-process, beginning inventory: -0- (ii) Transfer from Process 1: 15,000 units valued at $51.40 each (iii) Other manufacturing costs incurred during April: Direct material added $513,000 Direct labour 365,000 Manufacturing overhead 211,000 (iv) Normal losses were estimated to be 5% of input during the period. Losses from Process 2 are deemed to be scrap, and sold at $40 per unit. (v) At inspection 1,750 units were rejected as scrap. These units had reached the following degree of completion: Input material 100% Direct material added 50% Conversion costs 30% (vi) 12,000 units were completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory. (vii) Work-in-process at the end of April had reached the following degree of completion: Input material 100% Direct material added 80% Conversion costs 40% Required: (a) Prepare a statement of equivalent production to determine the equivalent units for direct materials (From Process 1 & Direct Material Added), and conversion costs and the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs. (b) Calculate the: - Total cost of units completed and transferred to Finished Goods inventory - Cost of abnormal losses - Cost of ending work-in-process inventory in Process 2 (c) Prepare Better Choice’s Work-In-Process Inventory - Process 2 T-account, clearly showing the ending balance.
