Unlike job costing, there are no job cost records to give us this information
WIP Inventory - Units WIP Inventory - $ 0 0 45,000 45,000 90,000 90,000 0 0 Is the manufacturing cost/unit $90,000/45,000 units = $2/unit? Is the manufacturing cost/unit $90,000/30,000 units = $3/unit? Neither of these costs is correct; they both assign the same cost to completed units as to incomplete units. In order to compute the manufacturing cost/unit, we need to know stage of completion of the units in ending WIP inventory.
John Wiley & Sons, 2005 Chapter 6: Process Costing Eldenburg & Wolcotts Cost Management, 1e Slide # 6
The 15,000 units taken to 1/3 completion are counted as 5,000 equivalent whole units, or 5,000 equivalent units of production (EUP). The manufacturing cost/unit = $90,000/[30,000 + 5,000]EUP = $2.57143/EUP.

Q2-Q4: Equivalent Units & Process Costing Methods The prior slide simplified the computation of EUP.
15,000 units taken to 1/3 completion is equivalent to 5,000 whole units only if costs are incurred evenly. We will return to this later.
Slide # 9
BI units: The units in beginning Work in process inventory were worked on in prior months and (we assume) they will be completed in the current month.
John Wiley & Sons, 2005
EI units: The units in ending Work in process inventory are started (we assume) in the current month and (we assume) they will be completed in the current month.
Slide # 10
S&C units: Any units that are started in the current month and are totally complete by month end are called started & completed units.
Slide # 11
Slide # 12
The weighted average (WA) method gives credit for work performed in the current & prior months.
This means that under the WA method, the EUP for BI units and S&C units is the same as the physical number of units in each category.
Slide # 13
The weighted average (WA) method gives credit for work performed in the current & prior months.
The EUP for EI units and is based on the stage of completion of the EI units only the portion of the work done in the current month is included.
Slide # 14
The FIFO method gives credit only for work performed in the current month. This means that the EUP for BI units is based on the completion of these units during the current month.

The FIFO method gives credit only for work performed in the current month. The EUP for EI units and is based on the stage of completion of the EI units only the portion of the work done in the current month is included.

First, summarize the physical flow of the units and compute S&C.
WIP Inventory - Units 30,000 90,00 100,000 0 20,000 BI units 30,000 S&C units 70,000 Completed units 100,000

Q2-Q4: Equivalent Units & Process Costing Methods The prior slides simplified the computation of EUP
20,000 units started and taken to 80% completion is equivalent to 16,000 whole units only if costs are incurred evenly. We usually assume that conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production, but direct materials costs may not be incurred evenly. Direct materials costs may be incurred at the beginning of processing or in some other uneven manner. Separate EUP computations are done for DM & CC.

Q2-Q4: Cost per Equivalent Unit The EUP calculations provide the denominator in the cost/EUP computation. A cost/EUP is computed for each cost category. The WA and FIFO methods use different numerators in the cost/EUP computation.
The numerator for the WA cost/EUP includes current costs plus the costs included in BI. The numerator for the FIFO cost/EUP includes only current costs.
Slide # 23
Slide # 24
When there is no BI, WA and FIFO have the same EUP, and hence the same costs/EUP.

Now, compute the costs/EUP for DM & CC. DM cost/EUP = $65,250/45,000 EUP = $1.45/EUP CC/EUP = $28,000/35,000 EUP = Total manufacturing cost/EUP

Q6: Accounting for Transferred-in Costs Transferred-in costs (TI) is merely another cost category like DM or CC All processing departments except the first will account for TI costs When preparing a process cost report for a department with TI costs:
Compute EUP for TI costs; all TI costs are incurred at the start of processing Compute cost/EUP for TI costs Assign TI costs to EI units

Costs of normal spoilage are absorbed by the good units transferred out. Costs of abnormal spoilage are charged to a Loss from abnormal spoilage account. Costs attach to spoilage depending on when spoilage is detected.

Notice that there is now a column for spoiled units in the schedule.
This is 50 units of normal & 150 units of abnormal spoilage.

Q8: What are the Uses and Limitations of Process Cost Information?
Process cost information is generally not useful for many short-term decisions because unavoidable fixed costs are allocated to the products. Estimates as to the stage of processing when DM costs or CC are incurred may be inaccurate. All units in beginning and ending WIP inventories are most likely not at the same stages of completion at the beginning and end of the periods; the percentage of completion used in the calculation of EUP is just an estimate.
