Process Costing
Yahya Limited produces a single product that passes through three departments, A, B and C. The company
uses FIFO method for process costing. A review of department A’s cost records for the month of January
2008 shows the following details:
Overhead is applied at the rate of 120% of direct labour. Normal spoilage is 5% of output. The spoiled
units are sold in the market at Rs. 6 per unit.
Required:
Compute the following for the month of January:
(a) Equivalent production units.
(b) Costs per unit for material, labour and factory overhead.
(c) Cost of abnormal loss (or gain), closing work in process and the units transferred to the next process.

In process II, material is added at start of the process and conversion costs are incurred evenly
throughout the process. Process losses are determined on inspection which is carried out on
80% completion of the process. Process loss is estimated at 10% of the inspected
quantity and is sold for Rs. 100 per kg.
BE uses FIFO method for inventory valuation.
Required:
(a) Prepare a statement of equivalent production units. (04)
(b) Compute cost of:
(i) finished goods (ii) closing WIP (iii) abnormal loss/gain (09)
(c) Prepare accounting entries to record production gain/loss for the month. (03)

In department B, material COY is added just after inspection which takes place when the production
is 60% complete. 10% of the units processed are evaporated before the inspection stage.
However, no evaporation takes place after adding material COY. During the year, actual
evaporation in department B was 10% higher than the estimated normal losses because of high
level of Sulpher contents in natural gas used for processing.
Other details for the year ended December 31, 2009 are as under:
