Question
UNO Co's second department uses the FIFO method. On
November 1, the beginning work in process of 45,000
units is 70% complete. During November, 160,000 units
were transferred in from the first department of UNO's
production cycle. Furthermore, the number of units in the
second department increased by 80,000 units. 240,000
units were completed by the second department during
November. On November 3O, the ending work in process,
comprised of 42,500 units, is 90% complete. Inspection
point is at 95% conversion. Materials are added at 95%
conversion immediately after the inspection point. The
acceptable level of normal spoilage per month is a quarter
of 1% of all units placed into production in the current
month, after considering accretion, if any.
