Comparison of Job-Order Comparison of Job-Order Costing and Process CostingCosting and Process Costing

ProcessCostingProcessCosting

Job-orderCosting

Used for production of large, identical, low cost items.

Mass produced in automated continuous production process.

Costs cannot be directly traced to each unit of product.

Typical process cost applications:

Petrochemical refinery

Paint manufacturer

Paper mill


1-4

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.

Direct Labor& Overhead

(Conversion)

When direct labor is a relatively small amount compared to material and overhead, it is often

combined with overhead.

Equivalent Units: A Key ConceptEquivalent 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.

• 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.

1-10

Equivalent Units ExampleEquivalent Units Example

Two one-half completed products are equivalent to one completed product.

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

For the current period, Jones started 15,000 units and completed 10,000 units, leaving 5,000 units in process 30 percent complete. How many equivalent units of production did Jones have for the period?

a. 10,000

b. 11,500

c. 13,500

d. 15,000

Equivalent Units Question 1Equivalent Units Question 1

1-12

For the current period, Jones started 15,000 units and completed 10,000 units, leaving 5,000 units in process 30 percent complete. How many equivalent units of production did Jones have for the period?

a. 10,000

b. 11,500

c. 13,500

d. 15,000

10,000 units + (5,000 units × .30) = 11,500 equivalent units

If Jones incurred $27,600 inproduction costs for the 11,500 equivalent units. What was Jones’s cost per equivalent unit for the period?

a. $1.84

b. $2.40

c. $2.76

d. $2.90

Equivalent Units Question 2

1-15

If Jones incurred $27,600 inproduction costs for the 11,500 equivalent units. What was Jones’s cost per equivalent unit for the period?

a. $1.84

b. $2.40

c. $2.76

d. $2.90

Equivalent Units Question 2

$27,600 ÷ 11,500 equivalent units

= $2.40 per equivalent unit

Equivalent Units of Production –Equivalent Units of Production –Weighted-Average MethodWeighted-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.

The FIFO method is a morecomplex method and israrely used in practice.

• MVP Sports Equipment Company makes baseball gloves in two departments, Cutting and Stitching.

• MVP uses the weighted-average cost procedure.

• Material is added at the beginning of the Cutting Department, and 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.
