Normal Loss - Wastage, Scrap - Process Accounts, Cost sheet
Problem 1
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 | 66% 33% | 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 16 3,140 | 1,260 7 2,898 |
Prepare Process accounts showing cost per ton of each product.

Problem 2
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.
