QUESTION FOUR
Process costing
Involves the accumulation of costs for lengthy production runs involving products that
are indistinguishable from each other. For example, the production of 100,000 gallons of
gasoline would require that all oil used in the process, as well as all labor in the refinery
be accumulated into a cost account, and then divided by the number of units produced
to arrive at the cost per unit
b. Explain how you would treat the following items in the accounts of a
process costing
i.Waste
For normal waste arising from breakage, evaporation, deterioration, shrinkage in
production, the total incurred is distributed over the good output. The treatment is
based on the principle that normal losses should be borne by good output.
Abnormal wastage of material arising due to abnormal reasons, i.e theft, fire,
careless handling is not added to the cost of production but is transferred to
costing profit and loss account. This is necessary to avoid any fluctuation in cost
of production

ii. Scrap
From the sale proceeds of scrap selling and distribution costs are deducted and
the net value is deducted from material cost or factory overhead. The effect is to
reduce material cost or overhead recovery rate. This method fails to secure
effective control of scrap arising in processes or jobs. It is suitable in cases
where several production orders are taken in hand and it is not possible to
segregate the value of scrap for each order. The value realized from sale of
scrap is credited to particular job, process or operation. This method has an
advantage of identifying scrap with each job, process or operation.

QUESTION FIVE

(v) The amount of production overhead incurred
FOEV=standard Fixed Overhead – Actual Fixed Overhead
= 375*25-AFO = 200
= 9,375- AFO
= 9,375 - 200
Production Overhead incurred = 9,175
