GREEN Ltd makes a product that passes through two manufacturing processes. A normal loss equal to 8% of the raw material input occurs in Process ALPHA but no loss occurs in Process BETA. Losses have no realisable value. All the raw material required to make the product is input at the start of Process ALPHA. The output from Process ALPHA each month is input into Process BETA in the same month. Work in progress occurs in Process BETA only. Information for the month of February 2020 for each process is as follows:

Process ALPHA
