The accounting for spoilage resulting from an internal failure can be illustrated using the data from the Deco Pottery Company example. Assume the company uses average rather than fifo cost. Recall that the company manufactures ceramic coffee mugs in two production processes, Molding and Glazing. Overhead is applied to production on the basis of labor. In Molding, materials are added at the beginning of the process and spoilage occurs at the 80-percent stage of conversion. Broken mugs have no salvage value. Mugs rarely break in the second department, Glazing, but defects in the ceramic glaze often occur. After mugs are inspected at the end of the glazing process, good mgs are transferred to Finished Goods Inventory and defective mugs are transferred to a separate Soiled Goods Inventory and are recorded at a selling price of $.50 each. The following production data are available for November
