Cost Accounting: Foundations and Evolutions, 8e

Chapter 6:Process Costing

Page 2: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Learning Objectives Why are equivalent units of production used in process costing? How are equivalent units of production, unit costs, and inventory values

determined using the weighted average (WA) method of process costing?

How are equivalent units of production, unit costs, and inventory values determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of process costing?

How are transferred-in costs and units accounted for in a multidepartment production setting?

How are equivalent units of production, unit costs, and inventory values determined using the standard costing method of process costing?

Why would a company use a hybrid costing system? (Appendix 1) What alternative methods can be used to calculate

equivalent units of production? (Appendix 2) How are normal and abnormal spoilage losses treated in

an EUP schedule?

Page 3: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Job Order vs. Process Costing

Job Order Small quantities of

distinct products or services

Assign costs to job and then to units within the job

Process Costing Large quantities of

homogeneous products or services

Using an averaging technique, assign costs directly to units produced during the period

Page 4: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Process Costing

Averaging technique to assign costs to units produced

Unit Cost = Production Costs Production Quantity

Page 5: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Production Costs

The Numerator—Production Costs Accumulate costs by department Accumulate costs by product Direct material from material requisitions Direct labor from time sheets and wage rates Overhead

Actual Predetermined application rates

Unit Cost = Production Costs Production Quantity

Units Produced

The Denominator—Units Produced Complicated by work in process

Units started last period and completed this period Units started this period and not completed

Convert partially completed units to equivalent whole units

Unit Cost = Production Costs Production Quantity

Page 10: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Equivalent Units of Production Approximation of the number of whole

units of output that could have been produced from the actual effort expended

Includes units Started last period and finished this period Started and finished this period Started this period and not finished

Assumes FIFO physical flow through the production department

Process Costing with Standard Costs

Simplify costing process Eliminate periodic cost recomputations Same as FIFO computations

Emphasize current period costs and production Inventories are stated at standard cost Variances are calculated for material, labor, and

overhead Assigns a “normal” production cost to the equivalent

units of output each period Allows managers to quickly recognize and investigate

significant deviations from expected production costs Allows benchmarking with other firms

Page 32: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Hybrid Costing Systems

Characteristics of job order and process costing systems

Various product lines Different direct material—job order costing Different direct labor—job order costing Same process—process costing

Hybrid costing used for furniture, clothing, jam

Page 33: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Appendix 1—Alternative Cost Computation There are two alternative methods to

calculate WA and FIFO EUP Use alternative methods

To confirm standard computation As a simplified computation

Appendix 2—Spoilage

Continuous loss—Loss occurs fairly uniformly through the process

Discrete loss—Loss occurs at a specific point and is detectable only when a quality check is performed

Page 40: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Appendix 2—Spoilage

Normal shrinkage and continuous losses Assign costs only to units that have passed the

inspection point Use Method of Neglect

Excludes spoiled units in the equivalent units schedule Spreads cost of lost units proportionately over the

good units transferred and those remaining in WIP inventory

Abnormal losses Period expense Accounted for on an equivalent unit basis

Questions

What is an EUP? What is the difference between the WA and

FIFO methods of calculating equivalent units?

Why would a company use a hybrid costing system?

Page 43: Kinney8e_PPT_Ch06

Potential Ethical Issues

Over- or underestimating completion % for ending WIP inventory to distort results

Using outdated standard costs Ignoring the assignment of significant

direct costs to specific jobs Treating abnormal spoilage as normal

spoilage
