When is it appropriate to use
process costing?
• Or what companies use process costing?
• Which companies would not use process
costing?

What is the BIG accounting
issue?
The task is to divide the total costs in WIP
between ending WIP and inventory
completed and transferred out (CTO).
This is no big deal until you consider that
E.WIP is partially completed and CTO by
definition is 100% complete (for each step
of production)! What do we do?

Equivalent Units
• 15 half-time (50%) professors is equivalent
to 7.5 full-time professors. Often for people
we refer to FTEs.
• 100 teddy bears that are (on average) 45%
complete are equivalent to 45 completed
bears = 45 equivalent units.

EU—when to use
• Not all organizations that use process
costing have to calculate EUs!
• You only have to calculate/use EUs when
ending WIP inventories are material.
– No (or little) ending WIP—what companies?
– Material ending WIP—what companies?

7
Assumed flow of costs
• Process costing is combined with the
assumed flow of costs:
– Standard cost
– Weighted average (we will focus on this)
– FIFO (least used)

8
Three Equations/steps
• At the core of calculations are 3 equations:
– Physical unit calculations (in units)—
• B.WIP + units started this period = CTO + E.WIP
– EU calculations (in EU)—
• B.WIP + work done this period = CTO + E.WIP
– Costs (in $)—
• B.WIP + period’s costs = CTO + E.WIP

Timing of added costs
• Whenever a factor of production is added at
a different time (beginning, middle, end,
etc.) in production, a separate EU
computation is required (for that factor)!
• For example if DM is added at a different
time than CC, each has to have a separate
EU calculation (see example in class)

Transferred –In Costs
CTO from one department is TI to the next
department.
TI does not equal direct materials.

11
The BIG Picture
The goal is to assign costs to CTO units. In
order to do this you need costs per unit.
(1) When costs change from period to period, you
have to make a cost-flow assumption.
(2) When incomplete units are present in E.WIP,
you have to adjust via EU calculations.

Chapter 18
This chapter focuses on accounting for
Spoilage (flip side of product quality).
You are responsible for the first 3 pages of the
chapter and what is covered in class.

Terminology
• Spoilage
– Unacceptable product discarded or sold for disposal
value (e.g., “Seconds”).
• Reworked units
– Unacceptable product that is reworked and sold as good
product.
• Scrap—material left over with min. or zero sales
value.
• Waste—can be toxic and very costly to dispose of.
2009 Foster School of Business

22
Goal of most operations
• Reduction of S/R/S/W
– Consistent with increased quality
– R&D and design play key roles in reducing
S/R/S/W.
2009 Foster School of Business
Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
23
“Types” of spoilage
• Normal spoilage
– Expected spoilage with efficient operations.
• Abnormal spoilage
– Unexpected (greater than expected) spoilage
under efficient operations. Considered
avoidable & controllable. Some companies
treat all spoilage as abnormal!
2009 Foster School of Business
Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
24
Why do we care?
• Because we account for the two types
differently!!
• Abnormal spoilage is expensed in the
period it is discovered.
• Normal spoilage is added to job cost, or
under process costing added equally to all
units passing the inspection point.
