Beaux Cheveux is a large hair products company specializing in organic, salon quality, and innovative hair products that appeal to both beauty junkies and health-conscious consumers. Beaux Cheveux grows all the raw materials that goes into their hair products and has a state-of-the-art lab where they constantly try to create innovative formulas. The company has a premium image in the market and most of its customers are loyal and willing to pay a bit extra. Beaux Cheveax products are made in a series of processes which begin with sorting, cleaning, preparing, and inspecting the direct materials. The materials are then mixed and processed for consistency, followed by final inspection, and packaging. All materials are added only at the beginning of the first process. The inspection in the first and final processes is made at the end of those respective processes, so all direct materials and conversion costs are lost for defective units detected at the inspection point. The company uses FIFO process costing and accounts for all waste as normal spoilage.
