"He's struggling to learn our system," replied Frank Harrop, the operations manager. "The problem is that he's been away from process costing for a long time, and it's coming back slowly." "It's not just the format of his report that I'm concerned about. Look at that $24.03 unit cost that he's come up with for April. Doesn't that seem high to you?" said Ms. Scarpino. "Yes, it does seem high; but on the other hand, I know we had an increase in materials prices during April, and that may be the explanation," replied Mr. Harrop.
