CHAPTER 19
PROCESS COST SYSTEMS
19-2
Process Costing
 Used for production of small,
identical, low-cost items.
 Mass produced in automated
continuous production process.
 Costs cannot be directly traced
to each unit of product.
Similarities for
Job and Process Costing
Same objective: to determine
the cost of products
Same inventory accounts: raw materials,
work in process, and finished goods
Same overhead assignment method:
predetermined rate times actual activity
19-3
Differences for
Job and Process Costing
Job costing
 Costs accumulated by
the job
 Work in process
account for each job
 Many unique, high
cost jobs
 Jobs are built to
customer order
 Relatively large direct
labor cost component
19-4
Process costing
 Costs accumulated by
department or process
 Work in process account
for each department or
process
 A few identical, low-cost
products
 Units continuously
produced for inventory
in automated process
 Relatively small direct
labor cost component

Process Costing
Equivalent Units
Costs are accumulated for a period of time
by process or department.
Unit cost is computed by dividing the
accumulated costs by the number of
equivalent units produced in the period.
19-26
Process Costing
Equivalent Units
Equivalent units is a concept
expressing a number of partially
completed units as a smaller
number of fully completed units.
Equivalent Units
Example
Two one-half full pitchers are
equivalent to one full pitcher.
+
=
So, 10,000 units 70 percent complete is
the equivalent of 7,000 complete units.
19-27
Equivalent Units
Question
For the current period, PencilCo 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 PencilCo have for the period?
a. 10,000
b. 11,500
c. 13,500
d. 15,000
19-28

Question
For the current period, PencilCo started
15,000 units and completed 10,000 units,

a. 10,000
b. 11,500
c. 13,500
d. 15,000
10,000 units + (5,000 units × .30)
= 11,500 equivalent units

Production Cost Report
Shows the flow
of units and costs
through work in
process.
Shows division of
costs between units
transferred and units
remaining in process.
Production
Cost Report
Provides cost
information for
financial
statements.
Helps managers
control their
departments.
19-34
Production Cost Report
Preparation includes four major steps:
Trace the physical flow of units
Convert actual units to equivalent units
Compute cost per equivalent unit for each
cost element (material, conversion)
Use unit costs to determine cost of ending
Work in Process (WIP) inventory and cost
of goods transferred to Finished Goods.
19-35
Production Cost Report
At this point, we
need to look at
an example to
illustrate the
concepts.
19-36
Production Cost Report
Example
Sipp-Fizz Cola uses process costing
to determine unit costs. It has only
one processing department.
Sipp-Fizz uses the average cost procedure:
The number of equivalent units for each cost
element equals the number of units completed
and transferred to finished goods plus the
number of equivalent units in ending work in
process inventory for that cost element.
19-37
Production Cost Report
Example
The following information is from SippFizz records for the month of August.
Using this information, compute:
Equivalent units.
One 12-can case
Cost per equivalent unit. equals one unit.
Cost of goods completed and transferred.
Cost of ending work in process inventory.
19-38

Example

Ending work in process inventory, August 31

All materials are added at the beginning of processing
19-39
Production Cost Report
Example

Our first two steps are . . .
Trace the physical flow of units.
Convert actual units to
equivalent units.

Because material is added at the beginning
of the process, the Sipp-Fizzies are 100
percent complete as to material when the
process starts.

Now that we have
calculated equivalent
units for Sipp-Fizz, let’s
calculate the cost per
equivalent unit.
19-44

Example
Our next two steps are . . .
Using equivalent units for each cost item,
compute the cost per equivalent unit for
Materials

 Total

Use cost per equivalent unit from
3 to
determine cost of goods completed and
transferred and cost of ending work in
process inventory.
