This document discusses process costing and provides examples of how to prepare a production report using the weighted average method. It defines key process costing concepts like equivalent units and shows how to calculate costs per equivalent unit. The production report sections include a quantity schedule with equivalent units calculation, computation of cost per equivalent unit, and a cost reconciliation section.

4. TYPES OF COSTING SYSTEMS USED TO
DETERMINE PRODUCT COSTS
Job-order
Costing
Process
Costing
Many units of a single, homogeneous product
flow evenly through a continuous production
process.
One unit of product is indistinguishable from any
other unit of product..
Each unit of product is assigned the same
average cost.

Process
Costing
Many units of a single, homogeneous product
flow evenly through a continuous production
process.
One unit of product is indistinguishable from any
other unit of product..
Each unit of product is assigned the same
average cost.
Typical process cost applications:
❖ Petrochemical refinery
❖ Paint manufacturer
❖ Paper mill

6. Job Order Costing
• Many jobs are worked during
the period.
• Costs are accumulated by
individual jobs.
• Job cost sheet is the key
document.
• Unit cost computed by job.
Process Costing
• A single product is produced for a
long period of time.
• Costs are accumulated by
departments.
• Department production report
is key document.
• Unit costs are computed by
department.

23. Equivalent units are partially complete and are part of work in process
inventory. It is the concept of expressing partially completed products as
a smaller number of fully completed units.
EQUIVALENT UNITS OF PRODUCTION
+ =
Two one-half completed products are equivalent to one completed product.
So, 10,000 units 70% complete are equivalent to 7,000 complete units.

24. For the current period, Matrix 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 Matrix have for the period?
a. 10,000
b. 11,500
c. 13,500
d. 15,000
QUICK CHECK ✓

25. For the current period, Matrix 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 Matrix have for the period?
a. 10,000
b. 11,500
c. 13,500
d. 15,000
QUICK CHECK ✓
10,000 units + (5,000 units × .30)
= 11,500 equivalent units

26. To calculate the cost per
equivalent unit for the period:
EQUIVALENT UNITS OF PRODUCTION
Cost per
equivalent
unit
=
Costs for the period
Equivalent units of production
for the period

27. Now assume that Matrix incurred $27,600 in production costs for the 11,500
equivalent units of production. What was Matrix’s cost per equivalent unit for
the period?
a. $1.84
b. $2.40
c. $2.76
d. $2.90
QUICK CHECK ✓

28. Now assume that Matrix incurred $27,600 in production costs for the 11,500
equivalent units of production. What was Matrix’s cost per equivalent unit for
the period?
a. $1.84
b. $2.40
c. $2.76
d. $2.90
QUICK CHECK ✓
$27,600 ÷ 11,500 equivalent units
= $2.40 per equivalent unit

29. WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD
Units transferred to the next
department or to finished goods 10,000
Equivalent units in ending work in
process inventory + 4,200
Equivalent units of production = 14,200
Under the weighted-average method equivalent units will always be calculated
as follows:

37. • Double Diamond Skis uses process costing to determine unit costs in its
Shaping and Milling Department.
• Double Diamond uses the weighted average cost procedure.
• Using the following information for the month of May, let’s prepare a production
report for Shaping and Milling.
