Type of Business Using Process Costing • __________ • __________ • __________ • __________ • __________ • __________ • __________ • __________ • __________
ComparingJob Costing vs Process Costing Job costing • Costs accumulated by thejob. • Work in process has a job cost record for each job. • Many uniquejobs. • Jobs built tocustomerorder. Process costing • Costs accumulated by department or process. • Work in process has a production report for each batch of products. • Homogenous products. • Unitscontinuouslyproduced for inventory in automated process. • Same objective: _________________________ • Same inventory account: _________________________ • Same OH assignment method: _________________________

Characteristics of Process Costing
Characteristics of Process Costing Process costing accumulates costs by process or department and then assigns them to a large number of nearly identical products. Similarprocesses Continuousmass production Homogeneousproducts
Cost perequivalent unit Manufacturing costs for a periodEquivalent units for the period = + = Equivalent Units Equivalent units is a concept expressing partially complete units as a smaller number of fully complete units. • We want to find the unit cost of performing a certain process in a given period, but • A manufacturing firm typically has partially completed units at the end of an accounting period • Equivalent units Physical Units 1 Two one-half filled cups are equivalent to one full cup.
Equivalent Units During its first month of business, Jones started 15,000 units and completed 10,000 units, leaving 5,000 units in process 30 percent complete. How many equivalent units of production did Jones have for the month? a. 10,000 b. 11,500 c. 13,500 d. 15,000 Now assume that Jones incurred $27,600 in production costs. What was Jones’ cost per equivalent unit for the period? a. $1.84 b. $2.40 c. $2.76 d. $2.90
Flow of Costs in Process Costing • Costs flow through different processes or departments • Use separate WIP Inventory account for each department • DM, DL, OH costs can be entered directly into either production department’s WIP Inventory account, not just the first department • Transfer of costs from a department subsequent departments FG Inventory Cost of goods sold • Transfer-in-costs (TI): costs of goods completed in the prior department and transferred into the department during the period
________ ________ ________ ________ 5 Steps in Process Costing • Analyze the physical flow of physical units. • Calculate equivalent units of production for all manufacturing cost elements. • Determine total cost for each manufacturing cost element. • Compute cost per equivalent unit for each manufacturing cost element. • Assign the total manufacturing costs to units completed and units of work in process at the end of the period. ________ ________
Weighted-Average Method __________________ __________________ __________________ __________________ Blends together units and costs in beginning inventory with units and costs in the current period. FIFO Method __________________ __________________ __________________ Assumes units in beginning work in process inventory are completed and transferred first. Process Costing Method
FIFO costing results in a current period cost that can be used for performance evaluation. If there is no beginning inventory (JIT) or if beginning inventory is small, FIFO and weighted-average produce the same results. Weighted Average vs FIFOWhich one is better?
Ex 1: Basic Process Costing (No Beginning Inventory)Adapted from Horngren et al. (2002) page 587 • XYC Inc. produces portable CD players in large quantities. Assume that the company has two departments, assembly and testing. The manufacturing costs in Assembly Dept during February were: • Assume no beginning inventory of WIP. Suppose work on 19,000 CD players was begun in the assembly department during February, but only 17,000 CD players were fully completed. All the parts had been made or placed in process, but only half the labor had been completed for each of the CD players still in process • Compute the costs of units completed and transferred to the Testing Dept and the cost of ending WIP.
Ex 2: Process Costing (with beginning inventory; use weighted-Average) Adapted from Horngren et al. (2002) page 587 • ABC Inc. manufactures electric drills. Material is introduced at the beginning of the process in the Assembly Department. Conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout the process. As the process in completed, goods are immediately transferred to Finishing Dept. • Data for the Assembly Dept for the July 20X1:
Process Costing with Multiple Departments • Multiple departments in a process result in units and costs that are transferred from a prior department to the current department. • These transferred-in costs are treated exactly like a direct material that is added at the beginning of a production process.
