1.Discuss the assignment of costs to transferred-out inventories in both process costing methods. ANS: The assignment of costs in a process costing system first involves determining total production costs. These costs are then assigned to units completed and transferred out during the period and to the units in Work in Process Inventory at the end of the period. To assign costs, the cost per equivalent unit must be established using either the FIFO or weighted average method. The cost per EUP is then multiplied by the number of equivalent units in the component being costed. Transferred-out costs using the weighted average method are computed as the number of units transferred times the total price per equivalent unit. When using FIFO, transferred-out units are computed as follows: the costs in beginning WIP are added to the current period costs to complete the units which sums to the total cost of beginning WIP; the units started and completed are priced at current period costs; the total of the costs of beginning inventory and units started and completed are then transferred out. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate OBJ: 6-3 | 6-4 NAT: AACSB: Reflective Thinking LOC: AICPA Functional Competencies: Measurement, Reporting 2. Discuss process costing in a multi-department atmosphere. ANS: When a business has more than one department in its production process, products are transferred from Department A to Department B and so on. As the products are transferred from department to department so, too, must the costs be transferred. When products are transferred, the units and costs are treated as input material in the next department. The new department may add additional material or may simply add conversion costs and finish the products. The total cost of the products is a cumulative total from all departments within the process. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate OBJ: 6-3 NAT: AACSB: Reflective Thinking LOC: AICPA Functional Competencies: Measurement, Reporting 3. List and explain the six steps of cost assignment when using process costing. How does cost assignment differ between the weighted average and FIFO methods? ANS: Step 1--Determine the total physical units to account for by adding beginning work in process inventory in physical units and the physical units started. The result of this step should be identical for both weighted average and FIFO methods. Step 2--Determine the total physical units accounted for. The units will either be transferred out, spoiled (normal or abnormal) or remain in ending work in process inventory. The result of this step is identical for both weighted average and FIFO methods. It is also possible to compute Units started and completed by subtracting units in beginning inventory from units transferred out. At this point the results from Step 1 should equal the result from Step 2. Step 3--Calculate equivalent units of production (EUP):

Weighted Average: Beginning WIP Inventory in physical units + Units Started and Completed + (Units in Ending WIP Inventory x Percentage of Completion) FIFO: Beginning WIP inventory in physical units x Percentage of work done in CURRENT period) + Units Started and Completed + (Units in Ending WIP Inventory x Percentage of Completion) Note that the only difference between the weighted average and FIFO methods is the computation of the beginning inventory. Step 4--Calculate total costs to account for. This equals the total costs in beginning WIP inventory and the costs incurred during the current period. These costs are the same for both weighted average and FIFO. These costs will be separated into materials costs and conversion costs. Step 5--Calculate cost per equivalent unit for each cost component (materials and conversion). Weighted Average: (Costs in beginning inventory + Current period costs)/EUP (computed in step 3)-Note that all costs in beginning WIP inventory are included in this computation) FIFO: Current period inventory costs/EUP (computed in step 3). Do not include beginning inventory costs in computation of EUP. The sum of the individual components equal the total cost per completed EU. Step 6--Assign the costs (from Step 4) to goods transferred out, abnormal spoilage (if any), and ending WIP. The total costs assigned must equal the costs computed in Step 4. Weighted Average Transferred Out--Units Transferred Out x Total Cost per EUP Ending WIP Inventory--Sum of (EUP per component x Cost per EUP) FIFO Transferred Out--Beginning WIP Costs + (Units in BI x % completed during current period x Cost per EU Component) + Units Started and Completed during period x Total Cost per EUP) Ending WIP Inventory--Sum of (EUP per component x Cost per EUP)--The EUPs for each component are the same under the FIFO method and the weighted average method; however, the cost per EUP differs under weighted average. Therefore, the total ending WIP inventory will differ between FIFO and weighted average.

ANS: When standard costing is used in conjunction with process costing, the costing procedure is simplified. Standard costing eliminates the calculation in each new period of a new production cost because the standards are established as on-going norms for (at least) a one-year period of time. Standard costing in a process costing system is essentially a FIFO system that permits variances to be recognized during the period.

5. What are two alternative calculations that can be used to either verify the number of equivalent units or to obtain the number initially? ANS: One alternative method of calculating equivalent units for weighted average is to determine units transferred out and add to that the equivalent units of ending work in process. Another alternative method of calculating equivalent units for FIFO is to determine equivalent units of production under weighted average and subtract the beginning work in process equivalent units that were completed in the last period. Both of these methods may be used to "check" original answers. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate OBJ: 6-7 NAT: AACSB: Reflective Thinking LOC: AICPA Functional Competencies: Measurement, Reporting

6. When is a hybrid costing system appropriate in a manufacturing setting? ANS: A hybrid costing system combines characteristics of both job order and process costing systems. Such a system would be appropriate in a manufacturing setting where products can be mass produced up to a certain point and then must be customized after that point. For example an automobile manufacturer that sells a wide variety of options on vehicles would use a hybrid costing system--process for manufacturing the chassis and motor, then job order for the distinguishing features such as specialized interiors. Likewise a company that manufactured different types of clothes would use job order costing for the materials but process costing for processing the materials into finished products.

ANS: If spoilage is normal and continuous, the calculations for EUP do not include this spoilage (method of neglect), and the good units simply absorb the cost of such spoilage. If spoilage is normal and discrete, the equivalent units are used in the EUP calculations, and the spoilage cost is assigned to all units that passed through the inspection point during the current period. If the spoilage is abnormal and either discrete or continuous, the equivalent units are used in EUP calculations and costed at the cost per EUP; the total cost is then assigned to a loss account. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate OBJ: 6-8 NAT: AACSB: Reflective Thinking LOC: AICPA Functional Competencies: Measurement, Reporting 8. Discuss why units are lost during production. ANS: In most production processes, losses are anticipated to a certain degree. Losses may be classified as normal and abnormal depending on management's expectations. A normal loss is one that is expected, while an abnormal loss is one that exceeds the normal loss. The losses may result in spoiled or defective units. Spoiled units cannot be economically reworked; defective units can be. Losses can occur on a continuous or a discrete basis. Quality control points are established at the end of and/or within the process to inspect goods and remove from further processing those units that are either spoiled or defective. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate OBJ: 6-8 NAT: AACSB: Reflective Thinking LOC: AICPA Functional Competencies: Measurement, Reporting 9. Distinguish between discrete and continuous production losses and the method of accounting for these losses. ANS:

Discrete production losses occur at a specific point in the production process. Such a loss is detectable only when a quality check is performed. The cost of normal discrete losses should be assigned only to units that have passed the inspection point in ending inventory and transferred out on an EUP basis as a product cost. Abnormal discrete losses should be treated as a period cost and written off on an EUP basis. Continuous production losses occur throughout the production process. Normal continuous production losses are handled through the method of neglect, which ignores the spoiled units in the EUP schedule. This results in a smaller EUP and a greater cost per equivalent unit. Abnormal discrete losses are treated as a period cost and written off on an EUP basis.

9. The formula for a chemical compound requires one pound of Chemical X and one pound of Chemical Y. One pound of Chemical X is processed in Department A and transferred to Department B for further processing where one pound of Chemical Y is added when the process is 50 percent complete. When the processing is complete in Department B, the finished compound is transferred to finished goods. The process is continuous, operating 24 hours a day. Normal spoilage occurs in Department A. Five percent of material is lost in the first few seconds of processing. No spoilage occurs in Department B. The following data are available for the month of October: Dept. A Units in process, October 1 Stage of completion of beginning inventory Units started or transferred in Units transferred out Units in process, October 31 Stage of completion of ending inventory Units of Chemical Y added in Department B
