Shiraz LTD is a medical production company which has recently decided to add the production of COVID 19 testing kit to its production lines. Kit Components includes the following items: Test cassettes Droppers Package inserts Buffer bottle The companys production processes are split into two separate departments. The Designing Department produces basic Test cassettes which can be used for different testing kits such as SARS, Mad Cow diseases and COVID 19. The Finishing Department receives the Test cassettes packages from the Designing Department as Transferred In and starts working on them by adding further materials (at the beginning), direct labour and overhead (evenly) and adding a Buffer bottle (at 95% level of completion) to each kit and then transferring them out. So, the Transferred in items received form the Designing Department include: Test cassettes, Droppers, Package inserts but not Buffer bottles. Overhead cost in the Finishing Department is calculated based on 50% of direct labour costs. Currently, there are two quality inspections performed. The first inspection is carried out at the begging of the process to make sure that the Test cassettes received from the Designing departments meet the specifications for COVID 19 testing kits. Kits not passing the inspection at this stage will be returned to the Designing Department and the total cost of those will be deducted from Transferred In costs. The second quality inspection is carried out at 90% level of completion and spoilages up to 5% of units passed the inspection will be considered as normal. Spoilages units at this stage will be sent back to the Designing Department for a recovery cost of $0.50 each. It means that the Designing Department gives a credit of 50 cents to the Finishing Department for every spoilage, which is specified at 90% level of completion in the Finishing Department.
