Process Costing in Manufacturing

Process costing is used when manufacturing involves continuous production of identical units rather than distinguishable job lots. Costs are accumulated by department and allocated to units as they are completed. At the end of each period, costs are allocated between work in process and completed units transferred to the next process. Process costing determines how manufacturing costs incurred each period are allocated between work in process and completed units. Cost of production reports are used to calculate total and unit costs by department.

CHAPTER 10

PROCESS COSTING
 When a manufacturing process involves the continuous production of identical units rather
than distinguishable job lots, there can be no job orientation. Where there is no obvious
start or finish (because the manufacturing process is endlessly repetitive), we use a
process-costing system to accumulate and allocate manufacturing costs. In using process
costing, all manufacturing costs are allocated first to departments or processes.
 Departmental or process costs are then allocated to units of product as units are completed.
Instead of using job-cost sheets, the costs associated with each department are summarized
on a cost-of-productions report, with one report per department for a period of time. At the
end of each period, the costs accumulated on each such report will be allocated between
end-of-period work in process and units transferred to the next process, or, in the case of
the final process, to finished goods.
 A process cost system determines how manufacturing costs incurred during each period
will be allocated. The allocation of costs within a department is only an information step,
the ultimate goal is to compute total cost per unit for income determination. During a
period some units will be started but will not be completed by the end of the period.
Consequently each department must determine how much of the total costs incurred by the
department is distributed to units still in process and how much is attributable to completed
units.
PROCESS COSTING METHODS ARE USED
BY THE FOLLOWING:
 Industries producing chemicals, petroleum, textiles, steel, rubber, cement, flour,
pharmaceuticals, shoes, plastics, sugar, and coal.
 Firms manufacturing items such as rivets, screws, bolts, and small electrical parts.
 Assembly-type industry which manufactures typewriters, automobiles, airplanes, and
household electric appliances.
 Service industries such as gas, water, and heat.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A PROCESS COST SYSTEM
 Costs are accumulated by department or cost center.
 Each department has its own general ledger Work in Process Inventory account. This
account is debited with the processing costs incurred by the department and credited with
the cost of completed units transferred to another department or to finished goods
inventory.
 Equivalent units are used to restate – work in process inventory to terms of completed units
at the end of a period.
 Completed units and their corresponding costs are transferred to the last department or to
finished goods inventory. By the time units leave the last processing department, total costs
for the period have been accumulated and can be used to determine the unit cost of each
and total finished goods.
 Total costs and unit costs for each department are periodically calculated and analysed with
the use of department cost of production report.
COMPARISON OF JOB ORDER COSTING
AND PROCESS COSTING
 A job order cost accumulation system is most suitable when a single production of batch or
products is manufactured according to a customer’s specifications. A process cost
accumulation system is used when products are manufactured by either mass production
techniques or continuous processing.
 Process costing is suitable when homogenous products are manufactured in large volume.
A customized cabinet manufacturer would use a job order cost system whereas a
manufacturer of 8-ounce jars of peanut butter would use a process cost system.
COMPARISON OF JOB ORDER COSTING
AND PROCESS COSTING
 Under a job order cost accumulation system, the three elements of a product’s cost (direct
materials, direct labor, and factory overhead are accumulated according to identifiable
jobs). Under a process cost system, the three basic elements of a product’s cost are
accumulated according to department or cost center.
PRODUCTION BY DEPARTMENT

 In a process cost system, when units are completed I one department, they are transferred
to the next processing department accompanied by their corresponding costs. A complete
unit of one department becomes the raw materials of the next department until the units
reach finished goods. Thus, the output of Dept. 1 becomes the input of Dept 2. Dept 2
receives both the units produced by Dept 1 and the costs carried by such units. When Dept
2 completes its processing, it transfers out the units and the costs it received from Dept
1plus any cost it incurred while working on the units.
 For example, Sunbloc manufactures chairs and uses three departments to produce one
chair. Dept. 1 cuts and cleans the wood at an average cost of P45.00 per unit. The wood are
then moved to Dept. 2, where they are assembled and put together at an average cost of
P15.00. The next stop is Dept. 3, where they are painted at an average cost of P25.00 per
unit. The completed chairs are transferred from Dept. 3 to finished goods inventory. The
total unit cost of one finished chair is P85.00, computed as follows:
Department 1 P45.00
Department 2 15.00
Department 3 25.00
Total unit cost added P85.00
Generally, the cost per unit increases as units flow through each department. The unit cost
can decrease when units pass through a department if volume is added to the product.
SYSTEM FLOW
 Units and costs flow together through a process cost system. The following equation
summarizes the physical flow of units in a department.

Units started in process or = Units completed & on hand

PROCEDURES – DIRECT MATERIALS,
DIRECT LABOR AND FACTORY OVERHEAD
 The use of a process cost system does not alter the manner of accumulating direct
materials, direct labor and factory overhead costs. The normal procedures of cost
accounting are used to accumulate the three product cost elements. Process costing is
concerned however with the assignment of these costs to the appropriate departmental
Work in Process Inventory account.

THE COST OF PRODUCTION REPORT

 The cost of production report is an analysis of the activity in the department or cost center
for the period. All costs chargeable to a department or cost center are presented according
to cost elements.
 Total and unit costs are determined and summarized on a cost of production report. Either
each cost center or department makes such a report, or the individual reports of several
departments are summarized. There are a number of useful formats in preparing the cost of
production report. However, only one format is illustrated in this book regardless of the
format used, the important thing to emphasize is that process costing requires an orderly
approach to assigning costs to products. The following steps provide a uniform approach in
preparing the cost of production report
 Step 1 – The Quantity Schedule
This schedule accounts for the physical flow of units into and out of departments. All
units started in the department must be accounted for and also the disposition of these units,
that is, whether they are transferred to the next department, loss, or remain in the department
(complete or incomplete). This schedule is concerned only with whole units, regardless of their
stages of completion.
 Step 2 – Calculate Equivalent Units and Unit Costs
The concept of equivalent production is basic to process costing. In most cases, not all
units are completed during the period. Thus, there are units still in process at varying stages of
completion at the end of the period. All units must be expressed in terms of completed units in
order to determine unit costs. Equivalent production equals total units completed plus
incomplete units restated in terms of completed units.
FIRST-IN FIRST-OUT METHOD
Equivalent unit cost = Costs added during the period/Equivalent Units (Work done this period)

WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD


Equivalent Unit Cost = (Cost last period plus cost added this period)/Equivalent Units (Work
done last period plus work done this period)
 Step 3 – Determine the costs to be accounted for (costs charged to the department)
The cost that a department is responsible for may come from several sources. For one
thing, there maybe some units in beginning inventory that maybe partially complete; and the
costs of direct materials, direct labor and factory overhead that were assigned to these units
last period will become the cost of the beginning inventory and must be accounted for. Also, if
the department is not the first department in the production process, it will receive costs from
other departments when the units from these departments are received in its operations. In
addition, each department will incur direct materials, direct labor and factory overhead in its
own processing. The total of these costs must be determined so that they can be accounted for.
 Step 4 – Account for all costs
After the costs for which the department is responsible for are determined, an accounting
for the disposition of these costs must be made. Some of the costs are assigned to the cost
centers receiving units transferred out of the department. The remaining costs are assigned to
the units remaining in the department and, in some cases, to any units lost.
METHODS OF COSTING UNDER
PROCESS COSTING
1. FIFO Method – under this method, there is an assumed flow of manufacturing operations
and as such it is considered that those units which are first placed in process are presumed
to be the first ones completed and those that are first completed are the ones transferred
out.
Characteristics:
 The work in process beginning in the department will require a separate computation
for its equivalent production.
 The units started, completed and transferred will have its own computation for equivalent
production.
METHODS OF COSTING UNDER
PROCESS COSTING
2. Weighted Average Method – under this method, there is no assumed flow of manufacturing
operations. It involves the merging of the departmental costs, by elements, of the initial work
in process inventory with the costs incurred in the current month and securing a representative
average unit costs by dividing the total element of costs by the equivalent production based
upon the sum of the units in the initial work in process inventory and the units placed into
production during the period.
Characteristics:
 In the computation of the equivalent production, the stage of completion of the work in
process beginning is ignored and the total units completed and transferred during the
period is considered to have 100% completion.
METHODS OF APPLICATION OF
ELEMENTS OF COST TO PRODUCTION
1. Even application – under this method, it is considered that at any stage during the process
of production, the introduction of the three elements of cost are equal with one another.
Only one computation of equivalent production should be made.
2. Uneven application – under this method, the introduction of the elements of cost to
production varies at any stage of the process, hence, there should be as many computations
of equivalent as the elements of cost that are unevenly applied.
COMPUTATION OF EQUIVALENT
PRODUCTION
1. Units received from preceding department 10,000 units Units completed and transferred
8,000 units Units in process, end (60% completed) 2,000 units Materials are added 100% at the
beginning of the process
SOLUTION: Materials Labor & Overhead Actual Work done EP Work done EP Units
received 10,000
Units completed 8,000 100% 8,000 100% 8,000 Units in process 2,000 100%
2,000 60% 1,200
10,000 10,000 9.200
Since materials are added at the beginning of process, then all units started during the period will get 100%
materials. The percentage of completion is always the work done for labor and sometimes overhead.
COMPUTATION OF EQUIVALENT
PRODUCTION
2. Same data as in No. 1, except this time, materials are added 100% at the end of the process
in the department.
Materials Labor & Overhead
Actual Work done EP Work done EP Units received
10,000
Units completed 8,000 100% 8,000 100% 8,000
Units in process 2,000 - - 60% 1,200
10,000 8,000 9.200
In this department, the units will get the materials upon reaching the end of the process in the
department. The units in process at the end are only 60%, hence no materials were added to
these units.
COMPUTATION OF EQUIVALENT
PRODUCTION
3. Same data as in No. 1, except this time, materials are added 50% at the beginning of the
process and the remaining 50% when the units are 40% completed.
Materials Labor & Overhead
Actual Work done EP Work done EP Units received
10,000
Units completed 8,000 100% 8,000 100% 8,000
Units in process 2,000 100% 2,000 60% 1,200
10,000 10,000 9.200
The units in process at the end are 60% completed, therefore the units have passed the second
addition of materials which is done at 40% stage of completion.
COMPUTATION OF EQUIVALENT
PRODUCTION
4. Same data as in No. 1, except this time, materials are added 50% at the beginning of the
process, 30% when the units are 20% complete, 20% at the end of the process.
Materials Labor & Overhead Actual Work done EP Work done EP Units

Units completed 8,000 100% 8,000 100% 8,000 Units in process
2,000 80% 1,600 60% 1,200
10,000 9,600 9.200
In this department, materials are added 50% at the beginning, so the in process will get the first
50%, the second addition is at 20% stage of completion and because the units in process end are
60%, it means they have passed the second addition of materials and this will make their
materials 80% complete.

 Accounting for scrap and defective units in process cost system is essentially the same as in job
order cost system. Cost to rework defective units in a process cost are normally charged to
Factory Overhead Control rather than to Work in Process because defective units is a process cost
system are usually the result of an internal failure rather than customer’s specification. The units
classified as lost in a process cost system are actually the same as the spoiled under the job order
system. The units are still with the company, but due to imperfections discovered during quality
control inspection, they were removed from the manufacturing process.

NORMAL/ABNORMAL LOSSES
 Normal losses are expected while abnormal losses are those in excess of what have been
predicted. The cost of normal lost units are reported as product cost, since eventually they
become part the cost of good units. The cost of abnormal lost units are recognized as period cost
as charges for abnormal lost units are debited to Factory Overhead Control .
A. The cost of normal lost units is charged to (a) completed units, and (b) units in process at the end
when:
1. Discovered at the beginning of the process,
2. Discovered during the process and no quality control inspection is indicated,
3. Discovered at the end of the process.
B. The cost of the abnormal lost units is charged to a loss account or factory overhead
1. Discovered at the beginning
2. Discovered during the process with the point of discovery stated in the problem
3. Discovered at the end of the process
Suggested procedures in calculating the equivalent units of production for normal lost units
under:

1)A-1 and A-2


[Link] not assign work done to the lost units, and
[Link] the unit cost from the preceding department due to decreased number of units.
[Link] above procedures automatically charge the cost of the normal lost units to both completed units and units in process
at the end.

2)A-3
[Link] work done to the lost units
[Link] need to adjust the unit cost from the preceding department despite the lost units
[Link] the cost of the lost units and add to the cost of completed units
3)B-1
[Link] not assign work done to the lost units
[Link] from the preceding department will be charged to factory overhead
Suggested procedures in calculating the equivalent units of production for normal lost units
under:

4) B-2 and B-3


a. Assign work done to the lost units
b. The cost of abnormal lost units is charged as an abnormal loss and debited to Factory
Overhead Control as a period cost.

Abnormal Lost Units:


c. If discovered at the beginning of the process, no need to assign work done. Any cost from the
preceding department is charged as an abnormal loss.
d. If discovered at any other points in the process, with or without indicated inspection point,
assign work done and cost is charged to Factory Overhead Control.

INCREASE IN UNITS DUE TO ADDITION OF MATERIALS
 With some products, the addition of materials in the subsequent departments may cause the units to increase.
This require adjustment in the unit cost from the preceding department because the total cost will remain the
same while the units to absorb the same cost will increase and this will result in a decrease in the unit cost from
preceding department.
 Computation of adjusted cost from preceding department
= Total cost from preceding department
Units received + increase in units

If lost units are discovered in the same department where we had an increase in units, the adjusted cost will be
computed based on the following assumptions:
a. Lost units normal, discovered at the beginning of the process
Adjusted cost = Cost from preceding Department
Total units received less lost units
b. Lost units normal, discovered at the end of the process
Adjusted cost = Cost from preceding Department
Total units received
c. Lost units abnormal, discovered at the beginning, during or at the end
Adjusted cost = Cost from preceding department
Total units received
