Chapter Process Costing Questions A company that produces homogeneous goods in mass quantities is likely to use a process costing system The company can either have a single department or multiple departments In any costing system, the assignment of costs to units of product is essentially an averaging process because total costs incurred must be applied to the units that have been produced This is done by dividing cost by production, which produces an "average" cost per unit Job order costing and process costing are similar in that they are both methods of assigning costs to products Also, the methods use similar product accounts (raw materials, work in process, finished goods, cost of goods sold) to capture the costs associated with production and use similar cost pools (DM, DL, OH) Job order costing and process costing differ in the way in which costs are gathered In a job order costing system, costs are accumulated by department and by job; in a process costing system, costs are accumulated by production departments for the products that flow through those departments In process costing, production must be determined on the basis of equivalent units to properly allocate the costs associated with each cost component to the work that was completed during the period and to the work that is still in process at the end of the period Equivalent units of production are unnecessary in job order costing Equivalent units of production is an approach to put partially completed and wholly completed units on a comparable basis Without use of equivalent units, partially completed and fully completed units would be combined as if they were homogeneous measures of output This would result in meaningless data since fully and partially completed units are different outputs 137 138 Chapter Process Costing The only difference between weighted average and FIFO equivalent units of production is in the treatment of the work that was completed on beginning inventory in the prior period Under weighted average, the work performed on beginning inventory in the prior period is combined with the work performed during the current period Under FIFO, the work performed on beginning inventory during the prior period is held out separately and not commingled with the work performed during the current period The FIFO method more accurately portrays the actual physical flow of units through the manufacturing process, because it is most likely that the units in beginning inventory will be the first units to be completed during the current period - thus a first-in, first-out flow It is necessary to prepare separate equivalent units of production schedules for each cost component because each component will most likely have a different degree of completion at the end of the period This is because all production components are not placed into production simultaneously If the cost components have the same degree of completion, then it is not necessary to prepare separate EUP schedules This is often the case with labor and overhead which may be combined into an EUP schedule labeled "Conversion." The units "started and completed" in a period are calculated as the total units completed during the period minus the units that were in the beginning inventory This figure can be used in both the weighted average and FIFO methods shown in the chapter (There are, however, other methods of computing EUP in which the units started and completed are not shown separately.) This calculation is not necessary for the weighted average method because work performed on the current period’s beginning inventory in the prior period need not be separated from work performed to complete the beginning inventory in the current period This calculation is necessary for the FIFO method because work in the prior period cannot be commingled with work performed in the current period Whole units are used in steps and - the units to account for and the units accounted for Equivalent units are used in steps 3, 5, and - the computation of EUP, the determination of cost per EUP, and the assignment of cost to inventories at the end of the period The only step in which neither is used is step In this step, total costs are computed and no physical measurement is required a b Chapter 139 Process Costing Under weighted average, costs are assigned to ending inventory by multiplying the cost per EUP for each cost component times the EUP calculated for that component; these costs are then totaled Costs are assigned to the units completed/transferred out by multiplying the total cost per EUP times the number of units that have been completed/transferred out during the period The cost assigned to ending inventory is handled the same way for FIFO as for weighted average In determining the cost of the units completed/transferred out, however, the cost of completing the beginning inventory must first be determined by multiplying the equivalent units of production performed this period for each cost component times the cost per EUP for each cost component The cost of completing the beginning inventory is then added to the original beginning inventory cost to find the total cost of producing the beginning inventory units The cost of the units started and completed in the current period is found by multiplying the total cost per EUP times the number of units started and completed this period Adding the total cost of producing beginning inventory to the cost of the units started and completed will give the total cost transferred out of the department during the period 10 The cost of production report is prepared for each department or each process and accounts for the costs that have been incurred during the period It assigns these costs either to the ending WIP or to the goods that have been transferred out to either the next downstream department or to the finished goods inventory These reports assist accountants in making entries regarding inventory amounts, cost of goods manufactured, and cost of goods sold 11 The computation is correct, fast, and easy However, the risk of making such a computation is that a mistake in computing the cost of the ending work in process will result in an incorrect cost of goods transferred out 12 Multiple computations are required under FIFO because the beginning WIP inventory is valued at a different unit cost for each cost pool than the current period’s unit costs This difference requires separate lines for the cost of the beginning inventory when the period began, the cost of completing that beginning inventory, and the cost of goods started and completed during the current period 140 13 Chapter Process Costing The only difference between process costing in a multidepartment environment and a single department environment is that there will be a cost component labeled "Transferred In." The costs of previous departments must follow the flow of goods into successor departments to determine the full cost of production 14 The standard process costing and FIFO process costing equivalent units of production are the same because standard process costing requires a comparison of the actual cost of the period to the standard cost of the period to compute variances Since it is only the costs of the current period that are of concern to the cost accountant, the costs of the prior period cannot be commingled with current costs The separation of prior and current period costs (and units) is the FIFO method of process costing 15 Under a standard costing system, the Material, In-Process, and Finished Goods Inventory accounts are accounted for at standard costs The actual costs of each process or each department are also captured in a standard costing system and variances can be computed as differences between the standard and actual amounts for each cost component The variances provide information to management about the efficiency of operations because the variances reflect differences between expected (standard) and actual costs 16 A hybrid costing system is one in which process costing is used to account for certain product costs and job order costing is used to account for other product costs Hybrid costing is common in environments that have, for example, material costs that vary substantially from one production run to another (gold versus copper), but require all products to flow through the same physical conversion processes In this example, the material would be accounted for on a job order basis and the conversion would be accounted for using process costing 17 No solution provided Exercises 18 a.,b Beginning inventory 260,000 Started

calculations are simpler However, this method tends to obscure current period costs because the cost per equivalent unit includes both current costs and prior costs that were in the beginning inventory This method is most appropriate when conversion costs, inventory levels, and raw material prices are stable The FIFO method is based on the work done in the current period only This method is most appropriate when conversion costs, inventory levels, or raw material prices fluctuate This method should also be used when accuracy in current equivalent unit costs is important or when a standard cost system is used (CMA addapted) Chapter Process Costing 165 Reality Check 48 In Chapter 3, total cost to account for is included as part of the Schedule of the Cost of Goods Manufactured In both that chapter and this one, the total cost to account for is the result of adding current costs added to production to the balance in beginning work in process 49 A significant change from one period to the next in any of the components of product costs (direct material, direct labor, or production overhead) can cause the two methods to result in a significantly different unit product cost Material shortages, changes in technology, or a labor strike are examples of potential sources of these significant differences FIFO is concerned with determining accurate unit costs for the current period in a manner that reflects physical flow and permits analysis and control of current costs Weighted average reflects the homogeneous and inseparable nature of products being produced in two different periods 50 The student’s memo should include the following issues For any given period in nearly any production environment, there will be a beginning inventory of units that is only partly complete At the end of the period, there will also be units that are only partly complete Furthermore, during the period there will be units that have been completed and transferred to the next downstream department or to finished goods inventory A fair allocation of costs within each department requires that some cost be allocated to those units that have passed through the department and some cost be allocated to those units that remain in the department in various stages of completion at the end of the period The concept of an "equivalent unit of production" was developed to provide a fair allocation of the costs incurred in a department for the period Although it would be unfair to charge a partly complete unit with the full average cost per unit of each cost pool for the period, it would also be unfair to charge no cost to a partly completed unit The equivalent unit puts incomplete units on a basis that is comparable to the fully completed units The result is that a partly completed unit will be assigned the fraction of the full unit cost that corresponds to its percentage of completion This achieves a fair allocation of departmental costs among fully completed units and partly completed units 51 – 53 No solution provided Each student or student group will have a different answer ... process costing and FIFO process costing equivalent units of production are the same because standard process costing requires a comparison of the actual cost of the period to the standard cost. .. (standard) and actual costs 16 A hybrid costing system is one in which process costing is used to account for certain product costs and job order costing is used to account for other product costs... costs (and units) is the FIFO method of process costing 15 Under a standard costing system, the Material, In -Process, and Finished Goods Inventory accounts are accounted for at standard costs
