Chapter 3Process Costing
Job-Order v. Process Costing
Job-Order Costing
• Many jobs are worked on during each period, with each job having different production requirements.
• Costs are accumulated by job.
• The job cost sheet is the key document for accumulating costs.
• Units costs are computed by job on a job cost sheet.
Process Costing
• A homogeneous product is produced on a continuous basis or for long periods of time.
• Costs are accumulated by department.
• The departmental production report is the key document showing the accumulation and disposition of costs.
• Unit costs are computed by department on production reports.

Unit Information: Beginning Work in Process:
(Mixing) 10,000(Packaging) 15,000
Started into Production 70,000 N/A Transferred In N/A ?
Ending Work in Process:(Mixing 100% material, 50% conversion) 20,000
(Packaging 100% material, 40% conversion) 5,000

Calculation of Equivalent Units
Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory:
Physical Units X = XXX100%
Started and Completed in Current Period:
Physical Units X 100% = XXX
Ending Work-in-Process Inventory:
Physical Units X Percent of work completed in the current period = XXX
XXXEquivalent Units of Production
Equivalent Units Illustration - Mixing
Beginning WIP:
10,000 x 100% = 10,000
Started & Completed:
50,000 x 100% = 50,000
Ending WIP:
20,000 x 100% = 20,000
Equivalent Units 80,000

Equivalent Unit Cost for Component
Note:
Equivalent units and cost per equivalent unit are often computed for direct materials and conversion costs (direct labor & manufacturing overhead). Conversion costs may also be calculated separately.
