Workings:
Cost per complete unit in process 2  = £22,695/5,100 =  £4.45
Cost of abnormal gain units = £4.45 × 220  = £979
Scrap value of normal loss per unit =  £120/100 = £1.20
Forgone scrap value of abnormal gain =  £1.20 × 220 units  = £264
Transfer to income statement in respect of abnormal gain = £979 – £264  = £715
