Managerial Accounting
Chapter 4
Job-order Costing vs. Process Costing Similarities
Same basic purpose exists Use same basic manufacturing accounts Flow of costs are basically the same
Differences The flow of goods in the process costing situation
are essentially indistinguishable and continuous through the manufacturing process.
Costs are accumulated by department, rather than by individual job.
Use a department production report rather than a job-cost sheet.
Process costing methods Only 2 are covered in text
Weighted average FIFO
Equivalent Units of Product Equivalent units in the ending work
in process inventory = Number of partially completed units x % complete
Weighted Average method Equivalent units of product = Units
transferred to next department or to finished goods + Equivalent units in the ending work in process inventory
Production Report Purpose – summarize all of the activity
that takes place in a department’s work in process.
Consists of three parts: Quantity schedule and computation of
equivalent units Computation of costs per equivalent unit Reconciliation of all cost flows into and out
of the department
