PROCESS COSTING
Characteristics
1. Cost are accumulated by department.
2. Each department had its own WIP control account
3. EUP are used to restate WIP
4. Completed units will be transferred to the next
department
5. Total cost and unit cost are periodically calculated
Methods
• FIFO – cost of beginning WIP are separated and assumed
to be completed first. Cost per EUP is based on the cost this
period.
• Weighted Average – all costs (beginning and cost this
period) are aggregated in computing for the cost per EUP.
Production Losses
Occurrence
• Continuous – cannot be identified specifically within the
production. Usually they are normal losses and uses the
Method of Neglect.
• Discrete – can be identified when the loss occur. It is
usually determined during inspection point. It may be a
normal loss or abnormal loss
Types of losses
• Normal Loss – expected loss, anticipated and predicted.
Reported as a product cost.
o Charged to all good units (transferred out and Ending
WIP) if it is continuous loss or both the completed
units and ending WIP passed the inspection point.
o Charged to completed units only if only the completed
units passed the inspection point.
• Abnormal loss – unexpected or may be an excess of normal
loss. Charged to FOH Control.
o Always discrete and charged to FOH upon discovery at
inspection points.
