I. TERMS USED IN PROCESS COSTING: ABNORMAL LOSS-A loss in excess of the normal, predicted tolerance limits.
The cost of abnormal losses should be accumulated and treated as a loss in the period in which those losses occurred. AVERAGE METHOD-The cost of each equivalent unit contains a portion of the cost in beginning inventory and a portion of the cost added during the current period. CONTINUOUS LOSS-A loss that is assumed to occur uniformly throughout the production process. It may be normal or abnormal. CONVERSION COST- Direct labor plus manufacturing overhead cost. COST RECONCILIATION-The part of a departments production report that shows the cost to be accounted for during the period and how those costs are accounted for. DEFECTIVE UNIT-It is a unit that has been rejected at a control inspection point for failure to meet appropriate standards of quality or designated product specifications and can be economically reworked and sold through normal distribution channels. DISCRETE LOSS-A loss that occurs at a specific point in the production process. This may also be normal or abnormal. EQUIVALENT UNITS OF PRODUCTION (WEIGHTED-AVERAGE METHOD)-The units transferred to the next departments department (or to finished) during the period plus the equivalent units in the departments ending work in process. EQUIVALENT UNITS OF PRODUCTION-Amount of a resource that is required to complete one unit of product with respect to the cost elements being considered. FIFO METHOD-Under this cost flow assumption, the costs of the first units transferred out of the department are deemed to come from beginning inventory. NORMAL LOSS-Falls within a tolerance level expected during the production. It is considered a product cost and is included as part of cost of the goods units resulting from the process. OPERATION COSTING-Refers to the methods where each operation in each stage of production or process is separately costed; the cost of finished unit is determined; this is suitable to industries dealing with mass production of repetitive nature.
Page | 1
PROCESS COSTING-A costing method is applicable where goods or services result from a sequence of continuous or repetitive operations or processes and products are identical and cannot be segregated. PROCESSING DEPARTMENT-Any part of an organization where work is performed on a product and where materials, labor, or overhead costs are added to the product. PRODUCTION REPORT-A report that summarizes all activities in a departments work in process account during a period and that contains three parts; a quantity schedule and computation of equivalent units; a computation of total and unit costs, and cost reconciliation. QUANTITY SCHEDULE-The part of a production report that shows the flow of units through a department during a period and a computation of equivalent units. SINGLE OR OUTPUT COSTING-It is used when the production is uniform and identical and a single article is produced; the total production cost is divided by the number of units produced to get unit or output cost. TRANSFERRED-IN COST- Cost attached to products that have been received from a prior processing department. SHRINKAGE-It is a decrease in units arising from an inherent characteristic of the production process. It includes decrease caused by evaporation, leakage and oxidation. SPOILED UNIT-It is a unit that is rejected at a control inspection unit for failure to meet appropriate standards of quality or designated product specifications and cannot be economically reworked to be brought up to standard.

II. CHARACTERISTICS AND PROCEDURE OF PROCESS COSTING SYSTEM: The characteristics of process costing system: 1. A cost of production report is used to collect, summarize and compute total and unit costs. 2. Production is accumulated and reported by departments. 3. Costs are posted to departmental work in process accounts. 4. Production in process at the end of a period is restated in terms of completed units. 5. Total cost charged to a department is divided by total computed production of the department in order to determine a unit cost for a specific period. 6. Costs of completed units of a department are transferred to the next processing department in order to arrive at the total costs of the finished products during a period. At the same time, costs are assigned to units still in process. The procedures of process costing are designed to: 1. Accumulate materials, labor, and factory overhead costs by departments. 2. Determine a unit cost for each department. 3. Transfer costs from one department to the next and to finished goods. 4. Assign costs to the inventory of work in process (WIP)
Note: If accurate units and inventory costs are to be established by process costing procedures, costs of a period must be identified with units produced in the same period.

III. PROCEDURES FOR MATERIALS, LABOR, AND FACTORY OVERHEAD COSTS ACCUMULATIONS: Materials Costs: In job order costing system, materials requisitions are used to charge jobs for direct materials used. If requisitions are used in process costing, details are considerably reduced because materials are charged to departments rather than to jobs, and the number of departments using materials is usually less than the number of jobs a firm might handle at a given time. Frequently materials are issued only to the process-originating department; subsequent department other than the first, they are charged to that department performing the specific operation. For materials control purposes, materials need not always be priced individually on requisition forms. The cost of materials used can be determined at the end of the production period through inventory difference procedures, i.e., adding purchases to beginning inventory and then deducting ending inventory. Or consumption reports which state the cost of materials or quantity of materials put into process by various departments can be used. Costs or quantities charged to departments by consumption reports may be based on formulas or proration. Formulas specify the type and quantity of materials required in the various products and is applied to finished production in order to calculate the materials consumed. Chemical and pharmaceutical industries use such procedures, particularly when more than one product is manufactured by a department. Frequently the cost of materials used by a department must by prorated to different products on various estimated bases. This portion is described in chapter By-Products and Joint Products Costing. For any of the materials cost computation methods discussed, a typical journal entry charging direct manufacturing materials used during a period is: Work in Process - Blending department Materials 24,500 Dr. 24,500 Cr.
Page | 4
The source of the cost figures for the above entry as well as the entries for labor and factory overhead is the cost of production report which is discussed on cost of production report page. Direct Labor: Labor costs are identified by and charged to departments in process costing, thus eliminating the detailed clerical work of accumulating labor costs by jobs. Daily time tickets or weekly time clock cards are used instead of job time tickets. Summary labor charges are made to departments through an entry which distributes the direct manufacturing payroll: Work in Process - Blending department Work in Process - Testing Departments Work in Process - Terminal Department Payroll Factory Overhead Costs: Factory overhead incurred in process costing as well as in job order costing should be accumulated in the factory overhead subsidiary ledger for producing and service departments. This procedure is consistent with requirements for responsibility accounting and responsibility reporting. Normally it is emphasized to use the predetermined overhead rates for charging overhead to jobs and products. However, in various process and job order costing procedures, actual rather than applied overhead is sometimes used for product costing. This practice is feasible when production remains comparatively stable from period to period, since factory overhead will then remain about the same from one month to the next. The use of actual overhead can also be justified when factory overhead is not and important part of total cost. However, predetermined overhead rates for producing departments should be used if: 1. Production is not stable. 2. Factory overhead, especially fixed overhead, is a significant cost.

Fluctuations in production can lead to the unequal incurrence of actual factory overhead from month to month. In such cases, factory overhead should be applied to production using predetermined rates, so that units produced receive proper charges for factory overhead. Similarly, if factory overhead - especially fixed factory overhead - is significant, it is desirable to allocate factory overhead on the basis of normal or uniform production using predetermined overhead rates. Indeed, the use of predetermined rates is highly recommended for improving cost control and facilitating cost analysis. Prior to charging factory overhead to departments via their respective work in process accounts, expenses must be accumulated in a factory overhead control account. As expenses are incurred the entry is:
Factory overhead control Accounts Payable Accumulated Depreciation - Machinery Prepaid Insurance Materials Payroll
xxxxx
Dr. xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx Cr. Cr. Cr. Cr. Cr.
The use of factory overhead control account requires a subsidiary ledger for factory overhead, with departmental expense analysis sheet to which all expenses are posted. Service department expenses are kept in like manner and distributed later to producing departments. At the end of each period, departmental expense analysis sheets are totaled. These totals, which also include distributed service department costs, represent factory overhead for each department. By debiting the actual cost incurred or by using the predetermined overhead rates multiplied by the respective actual activity base (e.g., direct labor hours) for each producing department, the entry charging these expenses to work in process is as follows:
Work in Process - Blending department Work in Process - Testing Departments

IV. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN JOB ORDER AND PROCESS COSTING SYSTEM: Similarities between job order and process costing systems: 1. Both systems have the same basic purposes-to assign material, labor, and overhead costs to products and to provide mechanism for computing unit product cost. 2. Both systems use the same basic manufacturing accountants, including manufacturing overhead, Raw materials, Work in process, and Finished Good. 3. The flow of costs through the manufacturing accounts is basically the same in both systems. Difference between Job Order and Process Costing: These differences are summarized below: Job Order Costing 1. Many different jobs are worked on during each period, with each job having different production requirements. 2. Costs are accumulated by individual job. 3. Job cost sheet is the key document controlling the accumulation of costs by a job. Process Costing 1. A single product is produced either on continuous basis or for long periods. All units of product are identical. 2. Costs are accumulated by departments. 3. The department production report is the key document showing the accumulation and disposition of costs. 4. Unit costs are computed by department on the department production report.
4. Unit costs are computed by job on the job cost sheet.

V. AVERAGE COSTING METHOD VERSUS FIFO COSTING METHOD: A. Advantages of Average Costing and FIFO costing Both average costing and FIFO costing have certain advantages. It would be arbitrary to state that one method is either simpler or more accurate than the other. The selection of either method depends entirely upon management's opinion regarding the most appropriate and practical cost determination procedures. B. Basic difference between the average costing and FIFO costing method The basic difference between the average costing and FIFO costing method concerns the treatment of beginning work in process inventory. The averaging method adds beginning work in process inventory costs to the preceding department's materials, labor and factory overhead costs incurred during a period. Unit costs are determined by dividing these costs by equivalent production figures. Units and costs are transferred to the next department as one cumulative figure. The FIFO method retains the beginning work in process inventory cost as a separate figure. Costs necessary to complete the beginning work in process units are added to this total cost. The sum of these two costs totals is transferred to the next department. Units started and finished during the period have their own unit cost which is usually different from the completed unit cost of the units in process at the beginning of the period. The FIFO method thus separately identifies for management the current period unit cost originating in a department. Unfortunately, the costs are averaged out in the next department, resulting in a loss of much of the value associated with the use of the FIFO method. If the FIFO method is used, units lost during a period must be identified as to whether they came from in process at the beginning or from units received during the period. Also, in computing equivalent production figures in FIFO costing, the degree of completion of both the beginning and ending work in process inventories must be considered.
Page | 8
C. Disadvantage of FIFO costing The principle disadvantage of FIFO costing is that if several unit cost figures are used at the same time, extensive detail is required within the cost of production report which can lead to complex procedures and even inaccuracy. Whether the extra detail yields more representative unit costs than the average costing method is debatable, especially in a firm using process costing where production is continuous and more or less uniform and appreciable fluctuations in unit costs are not expected to develop. Under such conditions, the average costing method leads to more satisfactory cost computations. VI. COST OF PRODUCTION REPORT (CPR): A. Definition and Explanation of Cost of Production Report (CPR): A departmental cost of production report (CPR) shows all costs chargeable to a department. It is not only the source for summary journal entries at the end of the month but also a most convenient vehicle for presenting and disposing of costs accumulated during the month. A cost of production report shows: 1. Total unit costs transferred to it from a preceding department. 2. Materials, labor, and factory overhead added by the department. 3. Unit cost added by the department. 4. Total and unit costs accumulated to the end of operations in the department. 5. The cost of the beginning and ending work in process inventories. 6. Cost transferred to a succeeding department or to a finished goods storeroom. It is customary to divide the cost section of the report into two parts: one shows costs for which the department is accountable, including departmental and cumulative total and unit costs, the other showing the disposition of these costs. A quantity schedule showing the total number of units for which a department is accountable and the disposition made of these units is also part of each department's cost of production report. Information in this schedule, adjusted for equivalent production is used to determine the unit costs added by a department, the costing of the ending work in process inventory, and the cost to be transferred out of the department.
Page | 9
A cost of production report determines periodic total and unit costs. However, a report that would merely summarize the total costs of materials, labor, and factory overhead and shows only the unit cost for the period would not be satisfactory for controlling costs. Total figures mean very little; cost control requires detailed data. Therefore, in most instances, the total cost is broken down by cost elements for each department head responsible for the costs incurred. Furthermore, detailed departmental figures are needed because of the various completion stages of the work in process inventories. Either in the cost of production report itself or in the supporting schedules, each item of material used by a department is listed; every labor operation is shown separately; factory overhead components are noted individually; and a unit cost is derived for each item. To condense the illustrated cost of production reports, only total materials, labor, and factory overhead charged to departments are considered; and unit costs are computed only for each cost element rather than for each item.
