  1. Process Costing • Objectives • Compare job order and process costing • Talk about costs to account for • Understand the concept of equivalent units

  2. Types of Product-Costing Systems ProcessCosting Job-OrderCosting • Used for production of small, identical, low cost items. • Mass produced, automated continuous production process. • Costs cannot be directly traced to each unit of product. • Used for production of large, unique, high-cost items. • Built to order rather than mass produced. • Many costs can be directly traced to each job.

  3. Accumulating Costs - Job-Order Costing System Direct Materials Job No. 1 Cost of Goods Sold Direct Labor Finished Goods Job No. 2 Job No. 3 Manufacturing Overhead

  4. Assigning Costs - Process Costing Work-in-Process Direct Materials Process A Direct Labor Process B Cost of Goods Sold Account Manufacturing Overhead Assembly Finished Goods Account

  5. Commonalities: Job Order & Process • The same purpose - assign manu-facturing costs to Cost of Goods Sold, inventories, and products • Both systems use the same basic manufacturing accounts • The flow of costs through each system is similar

  6. Differences – Job Order & Process • The flow of units in a process system is more or less continuous and units are indistinguishable from one another • Costs are accumulated by department (activity) rather than by job. A firm is likely to have more than one Work-in-Process (subsidiary) inventory account.

  7. Process Costing DirectMaterial Direct-labor costsare usually smallin comparison toother product costs in processcost systems.(high level of automation) ManufacturingOverhead Dollar Amount DirectLabor Type of Product Cost

  8. Process Costing DirectMaterial Conversion Direct-labor costsare usually smallin comparison toother product costs in processcost systems.(high level of automation) Dollar Amount Type of Product Cost So, direct labor and manufacturing overhead are oftencombined into one product cost called conversion.

  9. Process Costing - 5 Key Steps Step 1 -- Summarize the flow of physical units -- where are the costs? Step 2 -- Calculate output in terms of Equivalent Units Step 3 -- Summarize total costs to account for which are the costs charged (debited) to WIP Step 4 -- Calculate equivalent unit costs Step 5 -- Apply/assign costs to units completed and to units in the ending WIP

  10. Equivalent Units of Production –Weighted-Average Method • Makes no distinction between work done in the prior period and work done in the current period. • Blends together units and costs from the prior period and the current period. The weighted-average method . .

  11. Step 1 and Step 2 -- Equivalent Units Costs are accumulated for a period of timefor products in work-in-process inventory. Products in work-in-process inventory at the beginning and end of the period are only partially complete. Equivalent unitsis a concept expressing these partially completed products as a smaller number of fully completed products.

  12. + = Step 1 and Step 2: In Pictures Two one-half completed products are equivalent to one completed product. So, 10,000 units 80 percent completeare equivalent to ? complete units.

  13. Equivalent Units Question 1 During the current period, Regina 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 Regina have for the period? a. 10,000 b. 11,500 c. 13,500 d. 15,000

  14. Calculating and Using Equivalent Units of Production To calculate the cost perequivalent unit for the period: Cost perequivalent unit Costs for the periodEquivalent units for the period =

  15. Equivalent Units Question 2 Regina incurred $27,600 in production costs for the 11,500 equivalent units. What was Regina’s cost per equivalent unit for the period? a. $1.84 b. $2.40 c. $2.76 d. $2.90

  16. A Process Costing Example MVP Sports Equipment Company makes baseball gloves in two departments, Cutting and Stitching. MVP uses the weighted-average process costing method. Material is added at the beginning of the Cutting Department, and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process.

  17. Production Report Cost Work in process, March 1: 20,000 units Materials: 100% complete. $ 50,000 Conversion: 10% complete. 7,200 Units started into production in March: 30,000 units Units completed and transferred out in March: 40,000 units Work in process, March 31: 10,000 units Materials 100% complete. Conversion 50% complete. Costs incurred during March Materials cost $ 90,000 Conversion cost 193,500

  18. (1) Analysis of Physical Flow of Units

  19. (2) Calculation of Equivalent Units 100% of 10,000 units, allmaterial added at beginning

  20. (2) Calculation of Equivalent Units (con’t) 50% of 10,000 units Beginning inventory % is not used in weighted-average method.

  21. (3) Computation of total costs to account for

  22. (4) Computation of unit costs $140,000 ÷ 50,000 equivalent units $2.80 + $4.46 $200,700 ÷ 45,000 equivalent units

  23. (5) Analysis of total costs

  24. All costs accounted for (5) Analysis of total costs

  25. Equivalent Units Practice The following data are from Energy Resource’s Amarillo Plant: WIP, November 1 2,000,000 gallons DM 100% complete CC 25% complete Units started during November 950,000 gallons WIP, November 30 240,000 gallons DM 100% complete CC 80% complete Calculate the equivalent unit amounts necessary to determine per unit costs.

  28. Process Costing Practice Centura completed and transferred 900,000 units to finished goods during 1999. WIP as of December 31, 1999, had 300,000 units that were 50% complete w/r/t CC and 100% w/r/t DM. Finished goods inventory consisted of 200,000 units. Materials are added at the beginning of production and overhead is applied at a rate of 60% of direct labor costs. There was no finished goods inventory on January 1, 1999. Their inventory cost records provide the following information:

  30. Process Costing in Subsequent Production Departments An added complication in process costing system is that production often takes place in more than one department. In the previous example, only costs and units in the MVP’s Cutting Department were taken into consideration. Now let’s work with the Cutting and Stitching Department.

  31. Subsequent Departments Work In Process Inventory: Cutting Department Work In Process Inventory: Stitching Department Transferred- in costs Direct material Conversion: Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Direct material Conversion: Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Cost of goods completed and transferred out Cost of goods completed and transferred out

  32. MVP Sports - Additional Facts In Stitching, DM are added at the end of production process. 40,000 units from Cutting are transferred in to Stitching during March 10,000 units are in Stitching’s Beginning WIP (March 1) 30,000 units are transferred to Finished Goods in March With respect to Stitching’s Ending WIP (March 31) Transferred In: 100% complete Direct Material: None Conversion: 90% complete

  33. Transferred-In Costs The costs assigned to the units completed in each department and transferred to the next department’s work in process inventory account.
