Spoilage,
| Production (units) | 10,000 |
| Good parts produced | 9,750 |
| Direct material cost/unit | $ 5.00 |
The spoiled parts were identified after 100% of the direct material cost was incurred. The disposal value is $2/part.

Spoilage, journal entries. Plastique produces parts for use in various industries. Plastique uses a job-costing system. The nature of its process is such that management expects normal spoilage at a rate of 2% of good parts. Data for last month is as follows:
PVW Company manufactures products to customer specifications. A job costing system is used to accumulate production costs. During the month of September, an order (Job X2) by a customer comprised 5,000 units of the product; manufacturing cost is $5.00 per unit. The processing of this job, however, resulted in spoilage of 400 units, considered normal with no disposal value, attributable to this specific job.
Required:
How will you account for the above transaction, for example, in a journal entry?
Determine the unit cost showing computations.
A process costing system in your company. Direct material A is placed
into production at the beginning of the process, while direct material B
is placed into production at the end of the process. Inspection occurs at
the end of the process, before the addition of direct material B. Normal
spoilage is 5% of good units. For March the company had the following
activities:
Beginning work-in-process inventory 4,000 units, 30% complete
Units placed in production
28,000 unit
Good units completed
24,000 units
Ending work-in-process inventory 6,000 units, 60% complete
Cost of beginning work-in-process $10,000 ($5,500 direct material A,
$4,500 conversion)
Direct material A costs, current
$38,000
Direct material B costs, current
$26,400
Conversion costs, current
$42,500
Required:
Prepare a production cost worksheet assuming that spoilage is
recognized and the weighted-average method is used.
