1 17-1 Similarities and Differences Between Job Order Cost and Process Cost Systems Job Order Cost  Costs assigned to each job.  Products have unique characteristics. Process Cost  Costs tracked through a series of connected mfg processes or departments … (mixing, baking, packaging etc).  Products are uniform or identical (homogenous) and produced in a large volume. Nature of Process Cost Systems

2 17-2 Illustration 17-2 Process and Job Cost Comparison Nature of Process Cost Systems

3 17-3 Nature of Process Cost Systems Every production department has it’s own Work-In-Process account. If you have 5 departments you have 5 “Work-In-Process” accounts One Work In Process Account

4 17-4 Process Cost Flow Illustration 17-5 TCorp makes skateboard wheels. Manufacturing consists of two processes: machining and assembly. Machining Dept shapes & drills materials. Assembly Dept assembles & packages the parts. Nature of Process Cost Systems

5 17-5 Assigning Manufacturing Costs  Handling materials, labor, and overhead same as in Ch 16. ► Debit Raw Materials Inv for purchases of raw materials CREDIT W-I-P to assign direct materials costs. ► Debit Factory Labor for factory labor incurred. CREDIT W-I-P to assign direct labor costs. ► Debit Factory (Mfg) Overhead for actual cost incurred CREDIT W-I-P to apply (estimated) Mfg Overhead costs.  Use of more than one W-I-P (Work-In-Process) is different in “process cost” (ch 17) versus “job order cost” (Ch 16)

6 17-6  A process cost system requires fewer material requisition slips than a job order cost system. ► Materials are used for processes and not specific jobs. ► Requisitions are for larger quantities of materials. ► Journal entry to record materials used: Material Costs Nature of Process Cost Systems

7 17-7  Handling materials, labor, and overhead same as in Ch 16. ► Debit Raw Materials Inv for purchases of raw materials CREDIT W-I-P to assign direct materials costs. ► Debit Factory Labor for factory labor incurred. CREDIT W-I-P to assign direct labor costs. ► Debit Factory (Mfg) Overhead for actual cost incurred CREDIT W-I-P to apply (estimated) Mfg Overhead costs.  Use of more than one W-I-P (Work-In-Process) is different in “process cost” (ch 17) versus “job order cost” (Ch 16) Assigning Manufacturing Costs

8 17-8  Time tickets may be used in both systems.  All labor costs incurred within a production department are a cost of processing.  The journal entry to record factory labor costs: Nature of Process Cost Systems Factory Labor Costs

9 17-9  Handling materials, labor, and overhead same as in Ch 16. ► Debit Raw Materials Inv for purchases of raw materials CREDIT W-I-P to assign direct materials costs. ► Debit Factory Labor for factory labor incurred. CREDIT W-I-P to assign direct labor costs. ► Debit Factory (Mfg) Overhead for actual cost incurred CREDIT W-I-P to apply (estimated) Mfg Overhead costs.  Use of more than one W-I-P (Work-In-Process) is different in “process cost” (ch 17) versus “job order cost” (Ch 16) Assigning Manufacturing Costs

10 17-10  Objective of assigning overhead is to allocate overhead to production departments on objective and equitable basis.  Use the activity that “drives” or causes the costs.  Machine time used - primary driver.  Journal entry to allocate overhead: Manufacturing Overhead Costs Nature of Process Cost Systems

11 17-11 Nature of Process Cost Systems

12 17-12 Equivalent Units of Production (EUP) A term used in cost accounting to arrive at the cost per unit. * associated with the units that are not completed at the end of an accounting period (work-in-process). * indicates how much work was done on the work units that are still in-process units at the end of a designated period. * basically, all of the work-in-process inventory at the end of a period is expressed as fully-completed units which gives us the equivalent units of production.

13 17-13 Equivalent units is a concept expressing a number of partially completed units as a smaller number of fully completed units. Equivalent units is a concept expressing a number of partially completed units as a smaller number of fully completed units. 2 half full pitchers = 1 full pitcher. + = Equivalent Units of Production (EUP)

14 17-14 Illustration: Suppose a professor is asked to compute the cost of instruction per full-time equivalent student at your college. The college’s finance dept. provides the following information. Costs: Total cost of instruction $9,000,000 Student population: Full-time students 900 Part-time students 1,000 Illustration 17-6 Equivalent Units

15 17-15 Total cost of instruction $9,000,000 Number of full-time equivalent students / 1,500 $ 6,000 Illustration 17-7 Illustration: Part-time students take 60% of the classes of a full-time student during the year. To compute the number of full- time equivalent students per year, you would make the following computation. Cost of instruction per full-time equivalent student = Equivalent Units

16 17-16  Considers the degree of completion (weighting) of units completed and transferred out and units in ending work in process.  Most widely used method.  Beginning work in process not part of computation of equivalent units. Illustration 17-8 Equivalent Units Weighted Average Method

17 17-17 Illustration: Output of the Packaging Dept consists of: 10,000 units completed and transferred out, 5,000 units in ending W-I-P which are 70% completed. Calculate the equivalent units of production. Completed units …………………...... __________ Work in process equivalent units …. __________ Equivalent Units Weighted Average Method

18 17-18 Illustration: Output of the Packaging Dept consists of: 10,000 units completed and transferred out, 5,000 units in ending W-I-P which are 70% completed. Calculate the equivalent units of production. Equivalent Units Weighted Average Method Completed units …………………………10,000 Work in process EU (5,000 x 70%) ……. 3,500 13,500

19 17-19 The bread (product) is still a work “In Process”. The Manufacturing Process is NOT complete. The bread (product) is still a work “In Process”. The Manufacturing Process is NOT complete. W-I-P Baking 25% of Labor and Overhead 20% of Material W-I-P Mixing 80% of Material 35% of Labor and Overhead EUP while still “work-in-process” At this point in time 100% Complete for Materials At this point in time 60% Complete for Labor & Overhead Month End

20 17-20 Illustration: Kellogg produces Eggo® Waffles using three departments: Mixing, Baking, and Packaging. The Mixing Department combines dry ingredients, including flour, salt, and baking powder, with liquid ingredients, including eggs and vegetable oil, to make waffle batter. Illustration 17-9 provides information related to the Mixing Department at the end of June. Refinements on the Weighted-Average Method Equivalent Units

21 17-21 Illustration: Info for the Mixing Dept at the end of June. Equivalent Units Refinements on the Weighted-Average Method * Conversion costs = labor costs + overhead costs.

22 17-22  Beginning work in process is not part of the equivalent-units-of-production formula … WHY NOT ? Equivalent Units

23 17-23 Conversion Costs Conversion costs are those costs required to convert raw materials into finished goods that are ready for sale.raw materialsfinished goods Conversion costs = Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead Examples of costs that may be considered conversion costs are: Direct labor & benefits Equipment depreciation Equipment maintenance Factory rent Factory supplies Factory insurance Factory utilities Factory supervisors Most conversion costs are likely to be “manufacturing overhead”.

Beginning Units Ending Work in Process Transferred Out Work in Process –0– 15,000 10,000 Materials are entered at the beginning of the process. The ending work in process units are 30% complete as to conversion costs. Compute the equivalent units of production for (a) materials and (b) conversion costs.

43 17-43  Companies often use a combination of a process cost and a job order cost system.  Called operations costing, this hybrid system is similar to process costing in its assumption that standardized methods are used to manufacture the product.  At the same time, the product may have some customized, individual features that require the use of a job order cost system.
