Industries using process costing include paper, petroleum, chemicals, textiles, food processing, lumber, and electronics. (LO 4-1)
Comparison of Job-Order Costing and Process Costing
Job-order costing
- Costs accumulated by the job.
- Work in process has a job-cost sheet for each job.
- Many unique, high cost jobs.
- Jobs built to customer order.
Process costing
- Costs accumulated by department or process.
- Work in process has a production report for each batch of products.
- A few identical, low cost products.
- Units continuously produced for inventory in automated process.

In many ways, job-order costing and process costing are similar. Both product-costing systems have the same ultimate purpose—assignment of production costs to units of output. Moreover, the flow of costs through the manufacturing accounts is the same in the two systems. (LO 4-1)

In job-order costing, costs are accumulated by job order and recorded on job-cost records. The cost of each unit in a particular job order is found by dividing the total cost of the job order by the number of units in the job. This cost flow was described in the previous chapter. (LO 4-1)

& Overhead
(Conversion)
When direct labor is a relatively small amount compared to material and overhead, it is often combined with overhead.

In process costing, costs are accumulated by department, rather than by job order or batch. The cost per unit is found by dividing the total costs incurred by the units produced. (LO 4-1)

Process Cost Flows
4-*
*
In a single production department situation, direct-material, direct-labor, and manufacturing-overhead costs are added to a Work-in-Process Inventory account. As goods are finished, costs are transferred to Finished-Goods Inventory. During the period when goods are sold, the product costs are transferred to Cost of Goods Sold. Let’s take a look at the specific journal entries involved in a two-department process. (LO 4-2)

Journal Entry
Direct Material, Direct Labor, and Overhead Applied
The journal entry for the case of two sequential departments, as illustrated in your text, will be demonstrated. In this journal entry, we see $50,000 of direct materials, $20,000 of direct labor, and $30,000 of manufacturing overhead applied to the WIP account for Department A – the first department. The overhead would have been applied using the same method as we learned about in the job order costing chapter. The numbers used in the journal entry are assumed for the purpose of showing the form of the entries. (LO 4-2)

Journal Entry
Dept. B – Transferred In Costs
When production in Department A completes its work on some units of the product, those units are transferred to production department B. The costs assigned to these goods are transferred from the Work-In-Process Inventory account for department A to the Work-In-Process Inventory Account for Department B. In Department B, the costs assigned to those partially completed products are called transferred-in costs. (LO 4-2)
Journal Entry
Dept. B – Direct materials, Direct Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead
Direct material and direct labor are used in production department B, and manufacturing overhead is applied using a predetermined rate. These costs are accumulated in Department B and recorded as shown. (LO 4-2)
Journal Entry
Goods Completed
As goods are completed in Department B, the cost of those goods are transferred out of Work-In-Process and into Finished Goods Inventory. (LO 4-2)
Journal Entry
Goods Sold
The costs of the goods completed stay in the Finished-Goods Inventory account until the units are sold, at which point the costs are transferred OUT of Finished-Goods Inventory and INTO Cost of Goods Sold. At this point, the cost has finally been transferred to the Income Statement. The costs have no more future value. (Note: Just as in Job-Order Costing, the revenue earned from the units sold would also typically be recorded when the goods are sold.) (LO 4-2)

Learning Objective 4-3. Prepare a table of equivalent units under weighted-average process costing.
Equivalent Units: A Key Concept
Costs are accumulated for a period of time for 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 units is a concept expressing these partially completed products as a smaller number of fully completed products.
The term equivalent units is used in process costing to refer to the amount of manufacturing activity that has been applied to a batch of physical units. (LO 4-3)
*
Equivalent Units Example
Two half completed products are equivalent to one completed product.
So, 10,000 units that are 70% complete
are equivalent to 7,000 complete units.
4-*

*
For example, two units which are 50 percent complete are equivalent to one unit that is 100 percent complete. Likewise, 10,000 units that are 70 percent complete is 7,000 equivalent units. (LO3)

b. 11,500
c. 13,500

Direct material is usually placed into production at beginning of the production process. In contrast, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, called conversion costs, usually are incurred uniformly throughout the process. When an accounting period ends, the partially completed goods that remain in process generally are at different stages of completion with respect to material and conversion activity. The most important feature of process costing is that the costs of direct material and conversion are assigned to equivalent units rather than to physical units. (LO 4-3)

The key document in a typical process-costing system is the departmental production report, prepared for each production department at the end of each accounting period. The departmental production report summarizes the flow of production quantities through the department, and it shows the amount of production cost transferred out of the department’s Work-in-Process Inventory account during the period. There are four steps used in preparing a departmental production report:
1. Analysis of physical flow of units.
2. Calculation of equivalent units.
3. Computation of unit costs.
4. Analysis of total costs.
(LO 4-3)
Equivalent Units of Production –
Weighted-Average Method
The 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.
4-*
The FIFO method is a more
complex method and is
rarely used in practice.
*
The method of process costing that we will focus on in this chapter is called the weighted-average method. This method is almost always used in practice by companies using process costing. There is another process-costing method called the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. (LO 4-3)
Production Report Example
- MVP Sports Equipment Company makes baseball gloves in two departments, Cutting and Stitching.
- MVP uses the weighted-average process costing.
- Material is added at the beginning of the Cutting Department, while conversion is incurred uniformly throughout the process.
- Using the following information for the month of March, let’s prepare a production report for the Cutting Department.
4-*
*
The MVP Sports Equipment Company manufactures baseball gloves. Two production departments are used in sequence: the Cutting Department and the Stitching Department. In the Cutting Department, direct material is placed into production at the beginning of the process. Direct-labor and manufacturing overhead costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. The predetermined overhead rate used in the Cutting Department is 125 percent of direct-labor cost. (LO 4-3)

This slide presents a summary of the activity and costs in the Cutting Department during March. The direct-material and conversion costs for the March 1 work in process consist of costs that were incurred during February. These costs were assigned to the units remaining in process at the end of February. Materials costs of $90,000 and conversion costs of $193,500 were added during the month of March. The beginning work in process and the costs added during March equal the total costs to be accounted for. (LO 4-3)

The second step is to calculate the equivalent units of direct material and conversion activity. The table of equivalent units, displayed on this slide, is based on the table of physical flows prepared in step 1. The Cutting Department completed its work on 40,000 physical units. Thus, it represents 40,000 equivalent units for both direct material and conversion. The 10,000 units in the Cutting Department’s ending work-in-process inventory are 50 percent complete with respect to conversion. Therefore, the ending work-in-process inventory represents 5,000 equivalent units of conversion activity (10,000 physical units x 50% complete). (LO 4-3)

The third step in the process-costing procedure is calculating the cost per equivalent unit for both direct material and conversion activity. The cost per equivalent unit for direct material is computed by dividing the total direct-material cost, including the cost of the beginning work in process and the cost incurred during March, by the total equivalent units (from step 2). The same procedure is used for conversion costs. (LO 4-4)

The final step is to determine the total cost to be transferred out of the Cutting Department’s Work-in-Process Inventory account and into the Stitching Department’s Work-in-Process Inventory account. The cost per equivalent unit, $7.26, was calculated in step 3. The number of units transferred is multiplied by the total cost per equivalent unit. (LO 4-5)

We have now completed all four steps necessary to prepare a production report. The report simply combines the tables prepared in Learning Objectives 3, 4, and 5. The report provides a convenient summary of all of the process-costing calculations made under the weighted-average method. This method is called the weighted-average method because the cost per equivalent unit, for both direct material and conversion activity, is computed as a weighted average of the costs incurred during two different accounting periods.

The four-step process is summarized on this slide. In our illustration, production requires two sequential production operations: cutting and stitching. Although the process-costing procedures for the second department are similar to those illustrated for the first, there is one additional complication. The cost of goods completed and transferred out of the Cutting Department must remain assigned to the partially completed product units as they undergo further processing in the Stitching Department. Note that process-costing procedures for subsequent production departments are covered in the appendix at the end of this chapter, which may be studied now. (LO 4-6)

Learning Objective 4-7. Describe how an operation costing system accumulates and assigns the costs of direct-material and conversion activity in a batch manufacturing process.
Operation Costing
Operation costing employs some aspects
of both job-order and process costing.
Job-order Operation Costing Process
Costing (Products produced in batches) Costing
4-*
*
Job-order and process costing represent the polar extremes of product-costing systems. But some production processes exhibit characteristics of both job-order and process costing environments. These production processes often are referred to as batch manufacturing processes. Such processes are characterized by high-volume production of several product lines that differ in some important ways but are nearly identical in others. Since batch manufacturing operations have characteristics of both job-order costing and process-costing environments, a hybrid product-costing system is required. One common approach is called operation costing. (LO 4-7)

Conversion costs

Material costs are charged

*
This product-costing system is used when conversion activities are very similar across product lines, but the direct materials differ significantly. Conversion costs are accumulated by department, and process costing methods are used to assign these costs to products. In contrast, direct-material costs are accumulated by job order or batch, and job-order costing is used to assign material costs to products. (LO 4-7)
