Advanced (20 marks; 36 minutes)

SOURCE: ADAPTED FROM CIMA P1 PILOT PAPER PQR Ltd is a chemical processing company. The company produces a range of solvents by passing materials through a series of processes. The FIFO valuation method is used.

In process 2, the output from process 1 (XP1) is blended with two other materials (P2A and P2B) to form XP2. It is expected that 10% of any new input to process 2 (that is, transfers from process 1 plus process 2 materials added) will be immediately lost and that this loss will have no resale value. It is also expected that in addition to the loss, 5% of any new input will form a by-product, Z, which can be sold without additional processing for R2,00 per litre.
