Aquatic Pleasures Corporation manufactures water skis by way of three consecutive
processes: Moulding, Spraying & Packing. In the Moulding Department, fibre glass is heated
and shaped into the form of a ski. In the Spraying Department the skis are sprayed into various
colours and then sent to the Packing department where the skis are placed into cartons and
sent to the Finished Goods warehouse.
The following data relates to the Spraying Department for the month of October.
During October, 2,000 skis valued at $324.25 each were transferred from the Moulding
Department to the Spraying Department.
Other costs incurred during the month were:
Direct Materials Added
$204,000
$288,400
$234,200
Direct Labour

Normal losses are estimated to be 5% of the units transferred in from Moulding. Inspection
takes place during the processing operation, at which point bad skis are separated from good
skis and sold as scrap at $405 each.
At inspection, 300 skis were rejected as scrap. These units had reached the following degree of
completion:
Transfer from Moulding
100%
80%
Direct materials added
Conversion costs
50%
Work-in-progress at the end of June was 400 skis and had reached the following degree of
completion:
Transfer from Moulding

Direct materials added
60%
Conversion costs

There was no work-in-progress in the Spraying Department at the beginning of the period.
Direct materials added and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process.
