Learning Objective 1

Describe the flow of costs through a process costing system

How Do Costs Flow Through a Process Costing System?

• Job order costing system– Allocates costs by job– Used by companies that manufacture a unique

product or provide specialized services• Process costing system– Allocates costs by process– Used by companies manufacturing identical

units– A process is one of the steps in manufacturing

production

Job Order Costing Versus Process Costing

Flow of Costs Through a Process Costing System

• Companies use process costing to determine the per unit cost in order to:– Control costs– Set selling prices– Calculate account balances for

• Work-in-Process Inventory• Finished Goods Inventory• Cost of Goods Sold

Learning Objective 2

Calculate equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs

18-9© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

What Are Equivalent Units of Production, and How Are They

Calculated?

18-10© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

Equivalent Units of Production

• Equivalent units of production (EUP)– Measures the amount of materials added to or

work done on partially completed units during a period

– Expressed in terms of fully complete units of output

18-11© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

Conversion Costs

• Direct labor is a small part of manufacturing costs for highly automated manufacturers.

• To simplify accounting, direct labor is combined with manufacturing overhead and called conversion costs.

• Conversions costs are the costs to convert raw materials into finished goods.

Learning Objective 3

Prepare a production cost report using the weighted-average method

18-13© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

How Is a Production Cost Report Prepared?

Production Cost Report—First Process—Assembly Department

A production cost report show the calculations for the physical flows and the cost flows of the products.

1. Summarize the flow of physical units.2. Compute output in terms of equivalent units of

production.3. Compute the cost per equivalent unit of

production.4. Assign costs to units completed and units in

process.

18-15© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

• Two unique terms are used on the production cost report:

• To account for includes the amount in process at the beginning of the period plus the amount started or added during the period.

• Accounted for shows what happened to the amounts to account for. They are either still in process or completed and transferred out.

Production Cost Report—First Process—Assembly Department

• The costs of materials from the Assembly Department are transferred into the Cutting Department.– The transferred costs are called transferred in

costs. • The weighted-average method combines

the average cost of equivalent units of production by combining beginning inventory costs with current period costs.

Learning Objective 4

Prepare journal entries for a process costing system

18-27© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

What Journal Entries Are Required in a Process Costing System?

• Costs flow through the process costing system in four steps:– Accumulate– Assign– Allocate– Adjust

• Costs flow from one Work-in-Process Inventory account to the next and eventually to Finished Goods Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold.

Transaction 1—Raw Materials Purchased

18-29

During July, the company purchased materials on account for $175,000.

Transaction 2—Raw Materials Used in Production

18-30

During July, direct materials were assigned to the two production departments: $140,000 to the Assembly Department and $19,000 to the Cutting Department; $2,000 in indirect materials were accumulated in Manufacturing Overhead.

Transaction 3—Labor Costs Incurred

18-31

During the month, Puzzle Me incurred $20,000 in direct labor costs in the Assembly Department; $3,840 in direct labor costs in the Cutting Department; and $1,500 in indirect labor costs accumulated in Manufacturing Overhead.

Transaction 4—Additional Manufacturing Costs Incurred

18-32

In addition to the indirect materials and indirect labor costs, Puzzle Me incurred $35,000 in machinery depreciation and $20,000 in indirect costs that were paid in cash, which included rent and utilities.

Transaction 5—Allocation ofManufacturing Overhead

18-33

Puzzle Me used a predetermined overhead allocation rate to allocate indirect costs to the departments: $48,000 to the Assembly Department and $11,000 to the Cutting Department.

Transaction 6—Transfer from the Assembly Department to the Cutting Department

18-34

At the end of July, when the production cost report for the Assembly Department was prepared, Puzzle Me assigned $176,000 to the 40,000 units transferred from the Assembly Department to the Cutting Department.

Transaction 7—Transfer from Cutting Department to Finished Goods Inventory

18-35

At the end of July, when the production cost report for the Cutting Department was prepared, Puzzle Me assigned $201,400 to the 38,000 units transferred from the Cutting Department to Finished Goods Inventory. This is the cost of goods manufactured.

Transaction 8—Puzzles SoldDuring July, Puzzle Me sold 35,000 puzzles. We have already determined from the production cost report for the Cutting Department that the cost of goods manufactured is $5.30 per puzzle. Therefore, the cost of 35,000 puzzles is $185,500 (35,000 puzzles × $5.30). The puzzles were sold on account for $8.00 each, which is a total of $280,000 (35,000 puzzles × $8.00).

Transaction 9—Adjust Manufacturing Overhead

The actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $58,500, which includes the indirect materials in Transaction 2, the indirect labor in Transaction 3, and the accumulated depreciation and other indirect costs in Transaction 4. The amount of manufacturing overhead allocated to the two departments was $59,000, as shown in Transaction 5.

Learning Objective 5

Use a production cost report to make decisions

18-38© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

How Can the Production Cost Report Be Used to Make Decisions?

• Controlling costs• Evaluating performance• Pricing products• Identifying the most profitable products• Preparing the financial statements

Learning Objective 6

Prepare a production cost report using the first-in, first-out method (Appendix 18A)

18-40© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

How Is a Production Cost Report Prepared Using the FIFO Method?• Equivalent unit of production cost

methods:– Weighted-average method– First-in, first-out

• The first-in, first-out method determines the cost of equivalent units by accounting for beginning inventory separately.
