3. 28-3 This system is used in operations when a single product is manufactured and production is continuous. Companies like oil refineries, cement producers, and paint manufacturers use this system. Costs are accumulated for each process or department and then transferred to the next department. Process Cost Accounting System

9. 28-9 Assembly Department Separate equivalent unit computations are made for materials and for labor and overhead. In computing equivalent production, accountants frequently consider labor and overhead to be at the same stage of production. Calculating Equivalent Units

10. 28-10 Prepare a cost of production report with no beginning work in process inventory. Objective 2

11. 28-11 Summarizes all costs charged to each department. Shows costs assigned to: Goods transferred out of the department Goods still in process Has separate sections for: Quantities Costs Reconciles the total to be accounted for with the total accounted for. Cost of Production Report

12. 28-12 Compute the unit cost of manufacturing under the process cost accounting system. Objective 3

13. 28-13 Cost Schedule Quantity Schedule Cost of Production Report by Department Shows units to be accounted for and what happened to those units. Shows total and unit cost of each element and cumulative cost total. Shows cost of units transferred out.

14. 28-14 Cost ScheduleTotal CostE.P.

18. 28-18 Manufacturing Overhead Costs in the Process Cost Accounting System 1.When incurred, overhead costs are debited to the Manufacturing Overhead account. 2.At month-end, overhead costs are allocated to the producing departments: Debit Work-in-Process—Assembly Department Debit Work-in-Process—Finishing Department Credit Manufacturing Overhead

19. 28-19 Recording Transfers of Products out of Departments Assembly Department Finishing Department Finished Goods Inventory Assembly Department Finishing Department $46,600$67,828 $4,660 20-- Apr 28 Work in Process—Finishing Department 46,600.00 Finished Goods Inventory 4,660.00 Work in Process —Assembly Department 51,260.00 Cost of goods transferred out of laminating department in April 28 Finished Goods Inventory 67,828.00 Work in Process—Finishing Department 67,828.00 Cost of goods completed in April

22. 28-22 Compute equivalent production and prepare a cost of production report with a beginning work in process inventory. Objective 5

23. 28-23 The company discussed in the previous section did not have any beginning work in process. However, beginning work in process inventories are a normal part of business operations. Beginning Work in Process Inventory

24. 28-24 The average method of process costing combines the cost of beginning inventory for each cost element with the costs of the current period. ANSWER: QUESTION: What is the average method of process costing?

25. 28-25 Assembly Finishing Department Department Departmental Data with Beginning Inventory Beginning inventory costs Beginning inventory quantities

26. 28-26 Unit Costs Using the Average Method of Process Costing Unit Cost = (Beginning work in process inventory + Current period costs) ÷ Equivalent units The beginning work in process inventory is shown on the cost of production report under the appropriate department. Unit costs are calculated by adding the beginning inventory to the current period costs for each cost element, then dividing by equivalent units.

27. 28-27 The ending work in process of one period becomes the beginning work in process of the following period. Journal entries are made as shown earlier in Section 1 to record the transfer of costs. Recording Cost Flows

28. 28-28 Transfer of goods from one department to another and to finished goods inventory: Record the costs of goods from work in process to finished goods inventory: 20-- May 31Work in Process—Finishing Department 51,975.00 Finished Goods Inventory 3,780.00 Work in Process—Assembly Department 55,755.00 Cost of goods transferred out of Assembly department in May. 20-- May 31Finished Goods Inventory 91,025.00 Work in Process—Finishing Department 91,025.00 Cost of goods completed in May and transferred out.
