Fish Fillet Incorporated obtains fish and then processes them into frozen fillets and then prepares the frozen fish fillets for distribution to its retail sales department. Direct materials are added at the initiation of the cycle. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the production cycle. Before inspection, some fillets are spoiled due to nondetectible defects. Inspection occurs when units are 50% converted. Spoiled fillets generally constitute 4% of the good fillets. Data for April 2015 are as follows:

WIP, beginning inventory 4/1/2015                          85,000 fillets

     Direct materials (100% complete)

Started during April                                             130,000 fillets

The number of total spoiled units is 12,000 fillets

Step-by-step explanation

As per given data

WIP, beginning inventory 4/1/2015 = 85,000 fillets

Started during April = 130,000 fillets

Total units in WIP = WIP, beginning inventory 4/1/2015 - Started during April

Total units in WIP = 85,000 fillets + 130,000 fillets

Total units in WIP = 215,000 fillets

WIP, ending inventory 4/31/2015 = 23,000 fillets

Spoilage units = Total units in WIP - WIP, ending inventory 4/31/2015 - Completed and transferred out 4/31/2015

Spoilage units = 215,000 fillets - 23,000 fillets - 180,000 fillets

Spoilage units = 12,000 fillets
