Similarities Between Job-Order and Process
Costing
• Both systems assign material, labor and
overhead costs to products and they provide a
mechanism for computing unit product cost.
• Both systems use the same manufacturing
accounts, including Manufacturing Overhead,
Raw Materials, Work in Process, and Finished
Goods.
• The flow of costs through the manufacturing
accounts is basically the same in both systems.

Differences Between Job-Order and Process
Costing
• Process costing is used when a single product is produced on
a continuing basis or for a long period of time. Job-order
costing is used when many different jobs are worked on each
period.
• Process costing systems accumulate costs by department.
Job-order costing systems accumulated costs by individual
jobs.
• Process costing systems use department production reports to
accumulate costs. Job-order costing systems use job cost
sheets to accumulate costs.
• Process costing systems compute unit costs by department.
Job-order costing systems compute unit costs by job.

Quick Check 
Process costing is used for products that are:
a. Different and produced continuously.
b. Similar and produced continuously.
c. Individual units produced to customer
specifications.
d. Purchased from vendors.

What is a Processing Department?
Any location in an organization where materials,
labor or overhead are added to the product.
The activities performed in a processing
department are performed uniformly on all
units of production. Furthermore, the output of
a processing department must be
homogeneous.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Copyright © 2006, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Sequential vs. Parallel Processing
Sequential processing means that units
flow in a sequence from one
department to another.
Parallel processing is used when
after a point, some units go through
different processing departments
than others. For example, a
petroleum refinery separates crude
oil into products like gasoline, jet
fuel, and heating oil.

Equivalent Units of Production
Equivalent units are the product of the number of
partially completed units and the percentage
completion of those units.
We need to calculate equivalent units because a
department usually has some partially completed units
in its beginning and ending inventory.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Copyright © 2006, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Equivalent Units – The Basic Idea
Two half completed products are
equivalent to one completed product.
+
=
1
So, 10,000 units 70% complete
are equivalent to 7,000 complete units.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Copyright © 2006, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Quick Check 
For the current period, Jones started 15,000
units and completed 10,000 units, leaving
5,000 units in process 30 percent complete.
How many equivalent units of production did
Jones have for the period?
a. 10,000
b. 11,500
c. 13,500
d. 15,000

Calculating Equivalent Units
Equivalent units can be calculated two
ways:
The First-In, First-Out Method – FIFO is
covered in the appendix to this chapter.
The Weighted-Average Method – This
method will be covered in the main portion of the
chapter.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin

Equivalent Units of Production
Weighted-Average Method
The weighted-average method . . .
•Makes no distinction between work done in prior or
current periods.
•Blends together units and costs from prior and
current periods.

FIFO Method

McGraw-Hill/Irwin

FIFO vs. Weighted-Average Method
The FIFO method (generally considered more
accurate that the weighted-average method)
differs from the weighted-average method in
two ways:
1. The computation of equivalent units.
2. The way in which the costs of beginning
inventory are treated in the cost
reconciliation report.

The Production Report - FIFO Method
Step 1: Prepare the quantity schedule and compute
equivalent units.
Units to be accounted for:
Work in process, May 1
Started into production
Total units
Units accounted for as follows:
Beginning inventory:
Materials 200 units × 45%
Conversion 200 units × 70%
Units started and completed
Ending inventory:
Materials 400 units × 40%
Conversion 400 units × 25%
Total equivalent units
