Tulipamwe Windhoek ("TW") operates a process costing system to manufacture honey. Thecompany buys raw honey from the farmers concentrated in the Zambezi region of Namibia. Theprocess involves extracting raw-honey and filtering it to remove all forms of impurities (e.g. wax

and bee stingers). The final product known as the "HoneyDew" is packaged into 500 grams (g)containers and sold to the local market.

Raw honey is the only direct material required for the process. Raw honey required for theHoneyDew is added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred evenly

throughout the process.

A normal loss is detected at inspection point which occurs when the process is 70% complete.

The normal loss is 5% of the input raw honey that reaches this point. All losses in the processare sold at N$2 per kilo. One (1) kilo of the raw-honey adjusted for losses and/or gains yieldsone (1) kilogram of HoneyDew.

The following information relates to the process for the month ended 31 August 2020:
