Similarities Between Job-Order and Process Costing

•Both systems assign material, labor, and overhead costs to products and they provide a mechanism for computing unit product costs.

•Both systems use the same manufacturing accounts, including Manufacturing Overhead, Raw Materials, Work in Process, and Finished Goods.

•The flow of costs through the manufacturing accounts is basically the same in both systems.

4-3

Differences Between Job-Order and Process Costing

Process costing:

1.Is used when a single product is produced on a continuing basis or for a long period of time. Job-order costing is used when many different jobs having different production requirements are worked on each period.

2.Systems accumulate costs by department. Job-order costing systems accumulated costs by individual jobs.

3.Systems compute unit costs by department. Job-order costing systems compute unit costs by job on the job cost sheet.

4-4

Process costing is used for products that are:a. Different and produced continuously.

b. Similar and produced continuously.

c. Individual units produced to customer specifications.

d. Purchased from vendors.

Processing DepartmentsAny unit in an organization where materials, labor, or overhead are added to the product.

The activities performed in a processingdepartment are performed uniformly on allunits of production. Furthermore, the output ofa processing department must be homogeneous. Products in a process costing environment typically flow in a sequence from one department to another.

Departments A and B. We will use T-accounts and journal entries.

Equivalent Units of Production

Equivalent units are the product of the number of partially completed

units and the percentage completion

of those units.

These partially completed units complicate the determination of a department’s output for a given period and the unit cost that should be assigned to

that output.

4-25

Equivalent Units – The Basic IdeaTwo half completed products are

equivalent to one complete product.Two half completed products are

equivalent to one complete product.

So, 10,000 units 70% completeare equivalent to 7,000 complete units.

So, 10,000 units 70% completeare equivalent to 7,000 complete units.

Calculating Equivalent Units

Equivalent units can be calculatedtwo ways:

The First-In, First-Out Method – FIFO is covered in the appendix to this chapter.

The Weighted-Average Method – This method will be covered in the main portion of the chapter.

Compute the equivalent units of production using the weighted-

average method.

4-30

Equivalent Units of ProductionWeighted-Average Method

The weighted-average method . . .

1. Makes no distinction between work done in prior or current periods.

2. Blends together units and costs from prior and current periods.

3. Determines equivalent units of production for a department by adding together the number of units transferred out plus the equivalent units in ending Work in Process Inventory.

Weighted-Average – An Example

Smith Company reported the following activity in the Assembly Department for the month of June:

Percent Completed

Units Materials Conversion

Work in process, June 1 300 40% 20%

Units started into production in June 6,000

Units completed and transferred out 5,400 of Department A during June

Work in process, June 30 900 60% 30%

4-34

Weighted-Average – An ExampleThe first step in calculating the equivalent units is to identify

the units completed and transferred out of Assembly Department in June (5,400 units)

Materials Conversion

Units completed and transferredout of the Department in June 5,400 5,400

4-35

Weighted-Average – An ExampleThe second step is to identify the equivalent units of production in

ending work in process with respect to materials for the month (540 units) and adding this to the 5,400 units from step one.



Work in process, June 30:

900 units × 60% 540

Equivalent units of Production inthe Department during June 5,940

4-36





900 units × 60% 540

900 units × 30% 270

Equivalent units of Production inthe Department during June 5,940 5,670

The third step is to identify the equivalent units of production in ending work in process with respect to conversion for the month

(270 units) and adding this to the 5,400 units from step one.

900 units × 60% 540

Equivalent units of production always equals: Units completed and transferred + Equivalent units remaining in work in process

Operation CostingOperation cost is a hybrid of job-order and

process costing because it possesses attributes of both approaches.

Operation costing is commonly used when

batches of many different products pass

through the same processing department.
