Process Costing Costing procedure • Costs are recorded for a department. • Department costs are assigned equally to units produced. Production environment • Homogenous units • Mass produced • Automated • Continuous flow PRESENTED BY: SHIBA PRASAD DAHAL
Concept and meaning of process costing Process is a set of sequential steps followed to complete a certain activity. The way of maintaining the costing records of each process is called costing. It refers to the method of cost accounting under which cost are accumulated for every process which are interrelated to each other. Process costing is used in manufacturing concerns where the raw materials are converted to finished goods after passing through a number of processes. For example; in case of cotton textiles, the first process may be spinning, second process may be weaving and the final process may be finished. PRESENTED BY: SHIBA PRASAD DAHAL
Meaning of process costing • Characters institute of management accountants (CIMA), London defines "process costing is that form of operating costing where standardized goods are produced." • Likewise, according to Charles T. Hangmen, "process costing deals with the mass production of like units that usually pass in continuous fashion through a series of production steps called operation of process." • Process costing is mostly used in manufacturing concerns. It determines the cost of a product at each stage of manufacturing or process. This method of costing is adopted by industries involved in the manufacturing of textiles, biscuits, cement, paper, oil refining, etc. the output of first process becomes the input of the second process and so on as shown in following figure.

The following are the advantages of process costing: • It is simple and less expensive to find out the cost of each process. • It is easy to allocate the expense to process in order to have accurate costs. • Production activity in process costing is standardized. Hence, managerial control and supervision become easier. • In process costing, the products are homogeneous. As a result, costs per unit can be easily computed by averaging the total cost and price quotations become easier. • It is possible to determine process costs periodically at short integrals. PRESENTED BY: SHIBA PRASAD DAHAL
The following are the disadvantages of process costing: • The cost obtained at the end of the accounting period is historical in nature and is of little use for effective's managerial control. • Since process cost is average cost, it may not be accurate for analysis, evaluation and control the performance of various departments. • Once an error is committed in one process, it is carried to the subsequent processes. • Process costing does not evaluate the efficiency of individual workers or supervisor. • The computation of average cost is difficult in those cases where more than one type of product is manufactured.

Comparing Job Costingand Process Costing Job costing • Costs accumulated by thejob. • Work in process has a job cost record for each job. • Many unique, high cost jobs. • Jobs built tocustomerorder. Process costing • Costs accumulated by department orprocess. • Work in process has a production report for each batch ofproducts. • A few identical,low cost products. • Units continuouslyproduced for inventory in automated process.

EP-3 Nischal Company • Job Order Cost sheet Assigning Costs to Production • Production costs = Material + Labor + Overhead • Costs assigned to each process during period • Unit costs determined for each cost component and each process • Cost of completed unit = Sum of costs per unit for all processes through which product passes • Direct material cost measured from material requisition slips and invoiced prices • Direct labor cost determined from employee time sheets and wage rates • Overhead costs assigned through use of predetermined rates or actual costs • Actual overhead costs can be used if relatively constant each period and production volume is relatively steady PRESENTED BY: SHIBA PRASAD DAHAL
