Normal Loss - Wastage, Scrap - Process Accounts, Cost sheet

Problem 1

Xenon Chemicals Ltd. manufacture and sell their chemicals produced by consecutive processes:

The products of these processes are dealt with as under:

Process I Process II Process III
Transferred to next Process
Transferred to warehouse for sale
6623%
3313%
60%
40%

100%

In each process 4% of the weight put is lost and 6% is scrap which from process I realised 3 per ton, from Process II 5 per ton and from Process III 6 per ton.

The following particulars relate to a period:

Process I Process II Process III
Raw materials used in tons
Rate per ton
Wages and other expenses
1,400
10
5,152
160

3,140
1,260

Problem 2

A product which uses 100 tonnes as input per month passes through two processes. The details of cost in Process I for a period are:
Process I Cost per tonne
Direct material cost
Direct labour cost
Overhead
...
...
...
26,100
7,800
13,500

The total loss in Process I is 2% of input, and the scrap is 8% of input with a value of 12,000 per tonne.

The material is transferred to Process II at cost. The process direct labour cost at Process II is 9,000 per tonne of input. The overhead is 60% of direct labor cost. The scrap at Process II is at 20% of input with a value of 12,000 per tonne.

Draw up a cost sheet to present the manufacturing cost of the product showing clearly the cost of scrap and waste at each stage of manufacture.
