Teaching Overview
Students quickly respond that the units are different in size, shape, and
other features. I then ask if in process costing where, by definition, the units
are like units, whether the preceding formula would be applicable. After
some puzzled looks, someone will usually point out that although the units
are alike, not all units are 100% complete on the last day of the period. In a
sense, therefore, the units are not all alike. The formula

must be modified.
Once the concept of equivalent units has been mastered, production reports
progress smoothly. Some time should be spent putting the report into a
business context: what it measures, how it tracks unit costs, how one
department's report links to that of the next department, and how one
month's report links to that of the next month.
