136. What is meant by equivalent units of production, and why are they important when a process cost accounting system is used?
Ans: Equivalent units of production measure production with respect to direct materials, direct labour and overhead, expressed as the number of units that could have been manufactured from start to finish during a period given the amount of direct materials,
direct labour, and overhead used during the period. Determining equivalent finished units produced is important for the calculation of the cost per unit and thus for calculating the costs of inventories and the cost of goods sold.

145. Why is the Process Cost Summary important to management? How does the Process Cost Summary accomplish its purpose?
Ans: The Process Cost Summary depicts a four-step process detailing physical flows and cost flows allowing management to verify inputs and outputs as part of a control system. It also lets management logically perform unit costing (a necessary activity to
allow for appropriate product pricing).
By detailing physical flow, it measures accountability and responsibility. By detailing cost flow, it allows management to determine and derive appropriate cost allocations in a logical format.
