Outline 1. The basic characteristics and cost flows associated with process manufacturing. • The definition of equivalent units and their role in process costing. • Accounting for process costing using: • the weighted average method, and • the FIFO method. • Departmental production report using: • the weighted average method, and • The FIFO method • How process costing is affected by nonuniform application of manufacturing inputs and the existence of multiple processing departments.

Healthblend Nutritional Supplements Healthblend decides to produce 2,000 bottles of multivitamins. The Picking Department costs are: Direct materials $1,700 Direct labor 50 Applied overhead 450 Work in Process (Encapsulating) 2 200 00 The receiving report and the invoice are used to record the receipt of the merchandise and to control the payment. Work in Process (Picking) 2 200 00 The mixture is transferred from picking to Encapsulating.

Healthblend Nutritional Supplements The Bottling Department costs are: Direct materials $800 Direct labor 300 Applied overhead 600 Finished Goods 5 460 00 The receiving report and the invoice are used to record the receipt of the merchandise and to control the payment. $3,760 + $800 + $300 + $600 Work in Process (Bottling) 5 460 00 The cost is transferred to the finished goods warehouse.
In process costing, costs are summarized by department for a period of time in a production report. A production report provides information about the physical units processed in a department and the manufacturing costs.
Equivalent Units of Production Equivalent units of output are the complete units that could have been produced given the total amount of manufacturing effort expended for the period under consideration.
= 200 units, 50% completed = 100 equivalent units Equivalent Units of Production Concept: = 100 units completed = 100 equivalent units Continued
1000 units completed = 1,000 equivalent units = 150 equivalent units 600 units, EWIP, 25% completed Equivalent Units of Production Example: 1000 units completed + 600 units 25% completed = 150 equivalent units Total = 1,150 equivalent units
Preparing a Production Report • Physical units flow analysis • Calculation of equivalent units • Computation of unit cost • Valuation of inventories (goods transferred out and ending work in process) • Cost reconciliation

Summary PROCESS COSTING Homogeneous units passes through a series of similar processes Costs are accumulated by processing department Unit costs are computed by dividing the processing departments’ costs by output (measured in equivalent units) The production report provides the details for the WIP account for each processing department JOB ORDER COSTING Unique jobs are worked on during a time period Costs are accumulated by individual job Unit costs are determined by dividing total costs on the job-order cost sheet by the number of units in the job The job-order cost sheet provides details for the WIP account
