One of the chemical fertilizers produced by Ozone Chemicals passes two processes. In Process 1, normal losses are 20% of input whilst in Process 2 normal losses are 10% of input. The losses can be sold for RM1.20 per kg for Process 1 and RM1.40 per kg for Process 2. For February 2007, the following data were recorded:- Process 1 Direct material of 9,000 kg at RM1.65 per kg Direct labour cost of RM8,330(RM3.40 per hour) Production overhead is absorbed at RM2.60 per direct labour hour Actual output was 7,000 kg Process 2 Additional material

For February 2007, the following data were recorded:-
Process 1
Direct material of 9,000 kg at RM1.65 per kg
Direct labour cost of RM8,330(RM3.40 per hour)
Production overhead is absorbed at RM2.60 per direct labour hour
Actual output was 7,000 kg
Process 2
Additional material of 600 kg of RM 1.80 per kg
Direct labour of 1,000 hours ( RM3.40 per hour)
Production overhead absorbed RM 2,900
Actual output was 6,900 kg.
