You are the financial manager of ProJob Ltd, a large, listed company which uses a single process to manufacture widgets. During the
current financial year, you employed a new management accountant who is currently studying towards her CIMA exams.
Unfortunately, she does not yet fully understand process costing systems, particularly the allocation of normal losses. She has
currently prepared the following information for the month of April 2021 and has requested your assistance in finalising the valuation
of completed units.
Understanding of the process.
ProJob Ltd operates a single process. All materials are added at the start of the process while conversion costs (comprising labour and
overheads) are incurred evenly throughout the process. Inspection takes place at 70% of the way through the process. ProJob Ltd
operates on a FIFO basis. Opening WIP at the start of the month was at 90% of the way through the process while closing WIP was at
80% of the way through the process. The cost of opening WIP on 1 April 2021 was R35 300.
