The following data are available in respect of Process-I for January 2024: (1) Opening stock of work in process: 600 units at a total cost of 4,200. (2) Degree of completion of opening work in process: Material 100% Labour 60% Overheads 60% (3) Input of materials at a total cost of 55,200 for 9,200 units. (4) Direct wages incurred - 18,600 (5) Overheads - 8,630. (6) Units scrapped 200 units. The stage of completion of these units was: Materials 100% Labour 80% Overheads 80% (7) Closing work in process: 700 units. The stage of completion of these units was: Material 100% Labour 70% Overheads 70% (8) 8,900 units were completed and transferred to the next process. (9) Normal loss is 4% of the total input (opening stock plus units put in) (10) Scrap value is 6 per unit. You are required to: (i) PREPARE using FIFO method, Statement of equivalent production, (ii) PREPARE Statement of cost, (iii) CALCULATE cost of closing WIP, (iv) CALCULATE the cost of the units to be transferred to the next process.
