The Royal Paint factory in Tasmania is responsible for manufacturing the Organic Foundation product. The factory employs a process costing system. The process for manufacturing the Organic Foundation involves mixing all the ingredients. The ingredients are then poured into round containers and vigorously shaken. It is assumed for process costing purposes that all raw material ingredients are added at the commencement of the process. Packaging into pyramid-shaped boxes occurs when the manufacturing process is 70% complete. For the purpose of accounting, the conversion costs of manufacturing are assumed to occur evenly across the whole of the production cycle.
