Rosseaux manufactures chemicals in a continuous process. The company combines various materials in a specially configured machine at the beginning of theprocess, and conversion is considered uniform through the period. Occasionally, the chemical reactions among the materials do not work as expected and the output is then considered spoiled.
Normal spoilage is 5% of the good units that pass inspection. The following information pertains to March 2017:
Beginning inventory |
3,000 units (100% complete for materials; |
25% complete for conversion costs) |
|
Units started |
32,000 |
Units in ending work in process |
2,600 (100% complete for materials; 70% |
complete for conversion costs) |
|
