Other expenses at the process were ₹ 38,760 including an abnormal loss of ₹ 10,000 due to an
accident. Normal waste at the process is 5%. Waste sells at ₹ 6 per litre and each empty container is
sold for ₹ 40. Generally 10% of containers were damaged so only 9 containers were in saleable

of each process is the input of the subsequent process. The losses in the four processes I, II, III
& IV are respectively 25%, 20%, 20% and 16-2/3% of the input. If the end-product at the end of
process IV is 40,000 kg. what is the quantity of the raw material required to be fed at the
beginning of process I and the cost of the same at ₹ 5 per kg.? Find out also the effect of
increase or decrease in the material cost of the end-product for variation of every rupee in the
cost of the raw material. (CA Inter. Nov.1984; May 1982)

actual output from the process weighed 15,000 kgs. The normal yield of the process is 92%.
Any difference in weight between the input of basic material and output of purified material
(product) is sold @ ₹ 10 per kg. The process is operated under a licence which provides for the
payment of royalty @ ₹ 4 per kg. of the purified material produced.
Prepare: (i) Purifying process account (ii) Normal wastage account (iii) Abnormal wastage/Yield
account (iv) Royalty payable account. (CA Inter. May 1996)

Q.19. A Chemical Company carries on production in two processes. The materials first pass through
Process I, where Product ‘A’ is produced. Following data are given for the month just ended:
Material input quantity 2,00,000 kgs
Opening work in progress quantity (Material 100% and
conversion 50% complete) 40,000 kgs

Normal process loss in quantity may be assumed to be 20% of material input. It has no realizable
value. Any quantity of product ‘A’ can be sold for ₹ 1.60 per kg.
Alternatively, it can be transferred to process II for further processing and then sold as
product ‘AX’ for ₹ 2 per kg. Further materials are added in process II, which yield two kgs of
product ‘AX’ for every kg of product ‘A’ of process I.
Of the 1,60,000 kgs per month of work completed in Process I, 40,000 kgs are sold as
product ‘A’ and 1,20,000 kgs are passed through process II for sale as product ‘AX’. Process II
has facilities to handle up to 1,60,000 kgs of Product ‘A’ per month, if required.
The monthly costs incurred in Process II (other than the cost of Product ‘A’) are:
1,20,000 kgs of 1,60,000 kgs of
Product ‘A’ input Product ‘A’ input
Material cost ₹ 1,32,000 ₹ 1,76,000
Processing costs ₹ 1,20,000 ₹ 1,40,000
Required:
1. Determine, using the weighted average cost, the cost per kg of Product ‘A’ in Process I and
value of both work completed and closing work in progress for the month ended.
2. Is it worthwhile processing 1,20,000 kgs of product ‘A’ further?

for additional output of product ‘AX’ that could be produced with the remaining Product ‘A’
quantity.
