Manufacturing Company uses FIFO method of accumulating costs in a two-department process. Materials are introduced at the inception of the process except for a special material which is added in department 2 at 60% completion as to overhead. Inspection is done at the end of the process in both departments. Production data for Department 2 are given below:
In process, beginning, (80% labor, 70% overhead)2,000 Transferred in 14,900 In process, ending (40% labor, 20% overhead) 3,000 Normal spoilage 200 Abnormal spoilage (found at 30% completion as to laborand 15% as to overhead due to internal failure) 400 Cost data for the month:In process beginning:Transferred in 15,020 Special materials 1,900 Direct labor 4,388 Overhead 11,044 Current costs:Transferred in 137,080 Special materials 14,030 Direct labor 46,000 Overhead 113,564

- Statement of the ProblemKuala Lumpur Hospital, as we all know, is one of Malaysia's busiest hospitals. This is due to the fact that it admits a diverse range of patients suffering from a diverse range of disorders. These patients have arrived as a result of the health sector that operates in this facility. In other words, the departments within it are quite diverse. As a result, the hospital must deal with a high volume of both existing and new patients. Employees are required to gather patient personal information such as name, address, and so on for all of these admissions. It intends to capture and save their data for further use. Employee admissions, such as physicians and nurses, should also be recorded by the hospital. Furthermore, the hospital must manually record the many departments, rooms, and physicians in hospitals.
