Muller Manufacturing Co. Ltd. makes a product by way of three consecutive processes. The following data relates to process 2 for the month of May. (i) During May, 1,500 units valued at $226.50 each were transferred from process 1 to process 2. (ii) Other costs incurred during the month were: Direct material added $114,750 Direct manufacturing wages $124,850 Manufacturing overheads $158,250 (iii) 200 units were scrapped during the period. Normal losses were estimated to be 81/3% of input during the period. The scrap value of any loss is $78.00 per unit. (iv) Work-in-progress at the end of May was 400 units and had reached the following degree of completion: Transfer from process 1 100% Direct material added 75% Direct manufacturing wages 40% Production overhead 20% (v) There were no unfinished goods in process 2 at the beginning of the period. Required: (b) Calculate the: - Total cost of units completed and transferred to Process 3 - Cost of abnormal losses - Cost of ending work-in-process inventory in Process 2
