The following data are available in respect of Process-I for June 2024: (1) Opening stock of work in process: 600 units at a total cost of 4,20,000. (2) Degree of completion of opening work in process: Material 100% Labour 60% Overheads 60% (3) Input of materials at a total cost of 55,20,000 for 9,200 units. (4) Direct wages incurred - 18,60,000 (5) Production overhead - 8,63,000. (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 60 per unit. You are required to: (i) COMPUTE equivalent production, (ii) CALCULATE the cost per equivalent unit for each element. (iii) CALCULATE the cost of abnormal loss (or gain), closing work in process and the units transferred to the next process using the FIFO method.
