Problem - The manufacture of product kei involves three production processes namely, welding, filling and spraying. In the month of November, 2000 units valued at sh.50 each entered production and the cost incurred for the three processes are given below:

	Process Cost			Total
	Welding	Filling	Spraying
Direct material	40,000	60,000	69,240	169,240
Direct labour	60,000	80,000	100,000	240,000
Direct expenses	10,000	4,520	-	14,520
Manufacturing overheads	-	-	-	120,000

The output from each process was as follows:

Welding 1,840 units

Filling 1,740 units

Spraying 1,600 units

The estimated normal loss for each process was:

Welding 10%

Filling 5%

Spraying 10%

The loss in each process represented defective units which could be disposed off at the following values: Welding sh.30 per unit; Filling sh.50 per unit; Spraying sh.60 per unit.

There were no stocks of materials or work in progress at the beginning or end of the month. The output of each process poses directly to the next process at cost without any provision for internal profit. Manufacturing overheads are absorbed by each process at 50% of the direct labour cost.

Required -

i) Process account for each of the three processes.

ii) Abnormal loss and abnormal gain account. Show all workings.
