process are as follows :

Process X (à{H«$`m X ) 2%
Process Y (à{H«$`m Y ) 5%
Process Z (à{H«$`m Z ) 10%

The wastage of each process possesses a scrap value. The wastage of

process X and Y is sold at Rs 20 per 100 units and that of process Z at Re 1
per unit. The output of each process passes immediately to the next process
and the finished units are passed from process Z to stock. Following are the
information regarding the processes :
