The answer would be (d).4350 kgs.90 percent of5000 kgs is4500 which is the normal yield of90 percent. Then less the abnormal loss of150 kgs. to the normal yield of4500, the answer is4350 kgs.

The calculation is bellowed :

  i) Normal yielding production capacity is=(5000*90%)

                                                                           =4500 kgs

  ii) Abnormal Loss                                        =150 kgs

   Hence  qty of goods production is =(4500-150) kgs

                                                                 =4350 Kgs

  So (D) is the correct answer.

The correct option is a)4850 Kg

5000Kgs x90% yield =4500

The quantity of good production is4500

But Equivalent unit production for unit cost  will be =4500+150=4650

150 kg is avoidable lost so that it will be part of good manufactured unit.

normal yield is90% only, so90% of5000 kg is4500 kg only.

And there is a abnormal loss of150 kg, so quantity of good production is4500-150 =4,350kgs.Option(d)is the answer.Thanks.

I'm not sure if I'm right, I haven't done process accounting.

 

Excellent = Above4500 kgs (abnormal gain)

Normal Yield =4500 kgs  (90% of5000 kgs)

Actual Yield =4350 kgs  (4500kgs  -150 abnormal loss)
