A company needs to produce 340 litres of Chemical X. There is a normal loss of 10% of the material input into the process. During a given month the company did produce 340 litres of good production, although there was an abnormal loss of 5% of the material input into the process.How many litres of material were input into the process during the month?
A company uses process costing to establish the cost per unit of its output. The following information was available for the last month:
Input units 10,000
Output units 9,850
Opening inventory 300 units, 100% complete for materials
and 70% complete for conversion costs
Closing inventory 450 units, 100% complete for materials
and 30% complete for conversion costs
Thecompany uses the weighted average method of valuing inventory.What were the equivalent units for conversion costs?
A company operates a continuous process into which 3,000 units of material costing $9,000 was input in a period. Conversion costs for this period were $11,970 and losses, which have a scrap value of $1.50, are expected at a rate of 10% of input. There were no opening or closing inventories and output for the period was 2,900 units.What was the output valuation?
The following information relates to a company's polishing process for the previous period.
Output to finished goods 5,408 units valued at $29,744
Normal loss 276 units
Actual loss 112 units
All losses have a scrap value of $2.50 per unit and there was no opening or closing work in progress. What was the value of the input during the period?
Which of the following statements about process losses are correct?
(i) Units of normal loss should be valued at full cost per unit
(ii) Units of abnormal loss should be valued at their scrap value
Which of the following statements is/are correct?(i) A by-product is a product produced at the same time as other products which has a relatively low volume compared with the other products(ii) Since a by-product is a saleable item it should be separately costed in the process account, and should absorb some of the process costs(iii) Costs incurred prior to the point of separation are known as common or joint costs
