Solution
The correct option is D Increase total unit cost In process costing method, raw material added in first process passes through different stages through processes to reach to the finished goods. The quantity of raw material introduced in first process carried to the next process after deducting the normal or abnormal loss. Output of first process becomes the input of the second process and so on.
Material added in second process will not increase the number of units but this increases the total unit cost.
