CHAPTER 4

Process Costing and Hybrid Product-Costing


Systems
ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS
4-1

In a job-order costing system, costs are assigned to batches or job orders of


production. Job-order costing is used by firms that produce relatively small numbers
of dissimilar products. In a process-costing system, costs are averaged over a large
number of product units. Process costing is used by firms that produce large
numbers of nearly identical products.

4-2

Process costing would be an appropriate product-costing system in the following


industries: petroleum, food processing, lumber, chemicals, textiles, and electronics.
Each of these industries is involved in the production of very large numbers of
highly similar products.

4-3

Process costing could be used in the following nonmanufacturing enterprises:


processing of tests in a medical diagnostic laboratory, processing of tax returns by
the Internal Revenue Service, and processing of loan applications in a bank.

4-4

Product-costing systems are used for the following purposes:


(a) In financial accounting: Product costs are needed to value inventory on the
balance sheet and to compute the cost-of-goods-sold expense on the income
statement.
(b) In managerial accounting: Product costs are needed for planning, for cost
control, and to provide managers with data for decision making.
(c) In reporting to interested organizations: Product cost information is used to
report on relationships between firms and various outside organizations. For
example, hospitals keep track of the costs of medical procedures that are
reimbursed by insurance companies or by the federal government under the
Medicare program.

4-5

An equivalent unit is a measure of the amount of productive effort applied in the


production process. In process costing, costs are assigned to equivalent units rather
than to physical units.

4-6

The following four steps are used in process costing:


(a) Analysis of physical flow of units: All of the units in the beginning and ending
inventories, those started during the period, and those transferred out to finished
goods are accounted for.
(b) Calculation of equivalent units: The equivalent units of activity are computed for
direct material and for conversion.
(c) Computation of unit costs: The costs per equivalent unit for direct material and
conversion are computed.
(d) Analysis of total costs: The cost of the goods completed and transferred out and
the cost of the ending work-in-process inventory are determined.

4-7

(a) Journal entry to enter direct-material costs into Work-in-Process Inventory


account:

Raw-Material Inventory..........................................

(b) Journal entry to record transfer of goods from the first to the second department
in the production sequence:

Work-in-Process Inventory: Department A..........

4-8

Transferred-in costs are the costs assigned to partially completed products that
have been completed in one production department and transferred from that
production department into the next department.

4-9

The $182,000 of transferred-in costs were incurred prior to January 1 and in the
mixing department. The costs must have been incurred prior to January 1, because
they are included in the cost of the beginning work-in-process inventory on that
date. Moreover, these costs must have been incurred in the mixing department,
because they have been transferred into the cooking department.

4-10

The name ''weighted-average method'' comes from the fact that the cost per
equivalent unit computed under this method is a weighted average of costs incurred
during the current period and costs incurred during prior periods.

4-11

The difference between normal and actual costing lies in the calculation of the
manufacturing-overhead cost of the current period. Under actual costing, the
manufacturing-overhead cost of the current period is the actual overhead cost
incurred during the period. Under normal costing, the current-period manufacturing
overhead is computed as the product of the predetermined overhead rate and the
actual level of the cost driver used to apply manufacturing overhead.

4-12

If manufacturing overhead were applied according to some activity base (or cost
driver) other than direct labor, then direct-labor costs and manufacturing-overhead
costs would be accounted for separately instead of being combined into one
account called "conversion costs." Thus, instead of two columns for direct-material
and conversion costs, there would be three columns: direct material, direct labor,
and manufacturing overhead.

4-13

Operation costing is a hybrid product-costing system that is used when conversion


activities are very similar across product lines, but the direct materials differ
significantly. This is often the case in batch manufacturing operations. Conversion
costs are accumulated by department, and process-costing methods are used to
assign these costs to products. In contrast, direct-material costs are accumulated by
job order or by batch, and job-order costing is used to assign direct-material costs to
products.

4-14

The departmental production report is the key document in a process-costing


system rather than the job-cost sheet used in job-order costing. The departmental
production report shows the analysis of the physical flow of units, the calculation of
equivalent units, the computation of the cost per equivalent unit, and the analysis of
the total costs incurred in the production department. The report shows the cost of
the ending work-in-process inventory as well as the cost of the goods completed and
transferred out of the department.

250,000 units remain in finished-goods inventory on December 31, 20x4. Therefore:

(a)

No material would be added during May. All material is introduced at the start
of the manufacturing process, and these units were begun in April.

(b)

Since the work-in-process inventory is 45% complete at the end of April, 55%
of the conversion would be done in May.

Given that the ending work-in-process inventory is at the 45% stage of completion,
these units would not have reached the 75% point in April where TH55 is added.
Therefore, there would be zero equivalent units with respect to part TH55 in the
ending work-in-process inventory.

PROBLEM 4-32 (CONTINUED)


4.

Equivalent units measure the amount of manufacturing activity (i.e., for direct
material or conversion) that has been applied to a batch of physical units. If, for
example, a company has 1,000 physical units in process that are 30% complete as to
conversion, the firm has done the equivalent amount of conversion activity as would
be required to do all of the conversion work for 300 units (1,000 x 30%).
Equivalent units are needed to state manufacturing activity on a common
measurement scale. One cannot add completed units to units in process. Such a
combination is like adding apples and oranges, as some units are complete and
some are incomplete. Instead, these units are first converted to equivalent units,
and the latter are then used in unit-cost calculations.

These answers are supported by the following process-costing schedules. The firm's cost
per belt used for planning and control, $11.50, is substantially lower than the actual cost per
belt incurred in October, $13.00. Management should investigate this situation to determine
whether production costs can be reduced. If not, then the cost used for planning and
control purposes should be changed to reflect the firm's actual experience.

$105,300
3,520
$108,820

If the units were 50 percent complete as of October 31, there would be 8,300
equivalent units with respect to conversion. (To see this, just change the 160 in the
right-hand column of the equivalent-units part of the table in the solution to
requirement (4) to 200. This changes the last number in the right-hand column
from 8,260 to 8,300.)
Now the unit cost of conversion drops from $7.00, as currently computed,
to $6.97 (rounded, $57,820 8,300). Thus, the unit cost drops from $13.00 to $12.97
(rounded).
As controller, Jeff Daley has an ethical obligation to refuse his friend's
request to alter the estimate of the percentage of completion. What Daley can do is
to help Murray think of some legitimate ways to bring about real cost reductions.
Several ethical standards for management accountants (listed in Chapter 1) apply
in this situation. Among the relevant standards are the following:
Competence:

Prepare complete and clear reports and recommendations after appropriate


analyses of relevant and reliable information.
Objectivity:

Communicate information fairly and objectively.


Disclose fully all relevant information that could reasonably be expected to
influence an intended user's understanding of the reports, comments, and
recommendations presented.
