Compare Job
Order and Process
Cost Systems
Action Plan
✔ Use job order costing
in situations where
unit costs are high,
unit volume is low, and
products are unique.
✔ Use process costing
when there is a large
volume of relatively
homogeneous products.
>
Process Costing
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false.
1. A law firm is likely to use process costing for major lawsuits.
2. A manufacturer of paintballs is likely to use process costing.
3. Both job order and process costing determine product costs at the end of a period of
time, rather than when a product is completed.
4. Process costing does not keep track of manufacturing overhead.
Solution
1. False.
2. True.
3. False.
4. False.

Costs in Process
Costing
Ruth Company manufactures ZEBO through two processes: blending and bottling. In
June, raw materials used were Blending $18,000 and Bottling $4,000. Factory labor costs
were Blending $12,000 and Bottling $5,000. Manufacturing overhead costs were Blending
$6,000 and Bottling $2,500. The company transfers units completed at a cost of $19,000 in
the Blending Department to the Bottling Department. The Bottling Department transfers
units completed at a cost of $11,000 to Finished Goods. Journalize the assignment of these
costs to the two processes and the transfer of units as appropriate.
Solution
Action Plan
✔ In process cost
accounting, keep separate
work in process accounts
for each process.
✔ When the costs are
assigned to production,
debit the separate work
in process accounts.
✔ Transfer cost of
completed units to
the next process or to
Finished Goods.

Equivalent Units
Action Plan
✔ To measure the
work done during the
period, expressed in fully
completed units, compute
equivalent units of
production.
✔ Use the appropriate
formula: Units completed
and transferred out 1
Equivalent units of ending
work in process 5
Equivalent units of
production.

Materials are entered at the beginning of the process. The ending work in process units are
30% complete as to conversion costs. Compute the equivalent units of production for
(a) materials and (b) conversion costs.
Solution
(a) Since materials are entered at the beginning of the process, the equivalent units of
ending work in process are 10,000. Thus, 15,000 units 1 10,000 units 5 25,000
equivalent units of production for materials.
(b) Since ending work in process is only 30% complete as to conversion costs, the equivalent units of ending work in process are 3,000 (30% 3 10,000 units). Thus, 15,000
units 1 3,000 units 5 18,000 equivalent units of production for conversion costs.

Cost Reconciliation
Schedule
In March, Rodayo Manufacturing had the following unit production costs: materials $6
and conversion costs $9. On March 1, it had zero work in process. During March, Rodayo
transferred out 12,000 units. As of March 31, 800 units that were 25% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials were in ending work in process. Assign
the costs to the units transferred out and in process.
Solution
Action Plan
✔ Assign the total
manufacturing cost of
$15 per unit to the
12,000 units transferred
out.
✔ Assign the materials
cost and conversion costs
based on equivalent units
of production to units in
ending work in process.
The assignment of costs is as follows.

JIT and ABC
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false.
1. Continuous process manufacturing often results in a reduction of inventory.
Action Plan
✔ JIT manufacturing
is dedicated to having
the right amounts of
materials, parts, or
products just as they
are needed.
✔ ABC focuses on the
activities performed in
producing a product. It
recognizes that to have
accurate and meaningful
cost data, more than one
basis of allocating costs
to products is needed.
>
2. Companies that use just-in-time processing complete and store finished goods all the
time to meet rush orders from customers.
3. A major benefit of just-in-time processing is production cost savings from the improved
flow of goods through the processes.
4. An ABC system is similar to traditional costing systems in accounting for manufacturing costs but differs in regard to period costs.
5. The primary benefit of ABC is more accurate and meaningful costs.
6. In recent years, the amount of direct labor used in many industries has greatly increased and total overhead costs have significantly decreased.
Solution
1. False.
2. False.
3. True.
4. False.
5. True.
6. False.

Essence Company manufactures a high-end after-shave lotion, called Eternity, in 10-ounce
plastic bottles. Because the market for after-shave lotion is highly competitive, the company is very concerned about keeping its costs under control. Eternity is manufactured
through three processes: mixing, filling, and corking. Materials are added at the beginning
of each of the processes, and labor and overhead are incurred uniformly throughout each
process. The company uses a weighted-average method to cost its product. A partially
completed production cost report for the month of May for the Mixing Department is
shown below.

units to be accounted for
and the units accounted for.
✔ Compute the
equivalent units of
production.
✔ Compute the unit
production costs, expressed
in terms of equivalent units
of production.
✔ Prepare a cost

(c) Companies use process cost systems to apply costs to similar products that are massproduced in a continuous fashion. Essence Company uses a process cost system
because production of the after-shave lotion, once it begins, continues until the
after-shave lotion emerges. The processing is the same for the entire run—with
precisely the same amount of materials, labor, and overhead. Each bottle of Eternity
after-shave lotion is indistinguishable from another.
