Inspection occurs when units are 90% converted, and inspection determines if the units are acceptable or spoiled. Normal Spoilage is based on 2% of units started.

80% of direct materials is added at the beginning of the process, and the remaining 20% of direct materials (for packaging) is added immediately after inspection.
