12. Physical Flows for a Process Manufacturer Scrap Metal Materials Melting Department Casting Department
13. Molten metal transferred from Melting Casting Department Melting Department Physical Flows for a Process Manufacturer To finished goods
14. Physical Units (Step 1) Physical units Flow of Production Work in process, beginning 0 Started during current period 35,000 To account for 35,000 Completed and transferred out during current period 30,000 Work in process, ending (100%/20%) 5,000 Accounted for 35,000 Degree of Completion in this Department. DM 100% & CC 20%
15. Compute Equivalent Units (Step 2) Equivalent units Direct Conversion Flow of Production Materials Costs Completed and transferred out 30,000 30,000 Work in process, ending 5,000 (100%) 1,000 (20%) Current period work 35,000 31,000
16. Compute Equivalent Unit Costs (Step 3) Direct Conversion Materials Costs Rs 84,050 Rs62,000 Equivalent units 35,000 31,000 Cost per equivalent unit Rs2.4014 Rs2.00 Total production costs are Rs146,050.
17. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) Step 4: Total costs to account for: Rs146,050 Step 5: Assign total costs: Completed and transferred out 30,000 × Rs4.4014 Rs 132,043 Work in process, ending (5,000 units) Direct materials 5,000 × Rs2.4014 12,007 Conversion costs 1,000 × Rs2.00 2,000 Total Rs146,050
19. Journal Entries Example Assume that ABC Ltd. has two processing departments – Melting and Casting. ABC Ltd., purchases direct materials as needed. What is the journal entry for materials? Work in Process, Melting 84,050 Accounts Payable 84,050 To record direct materials purchased and used
20. Journal Entries Example What is the journal entry for conversion costs? Work in Process, Melting 62,000 Various accounts 62,000 To record Melting Department conversion costs What is the journal entry to transfer completed goods from Melting to Casting?
21. Journal Entries Example Work in Process, Casting 132,043 Work in Process, Melting 132,043 To record cost of goods completed and transferred from Melting to Casting during the period
22. Flow of Costs Example Accounts Payable 84,050 Various Accounts 62,000 WIP Melting 84,050 132,043 62,000 14,007 WIP Casting 132,043
24. Weighted Average Process Costing Method Calculate the equivalent unit cost of all the work done to date Assign this cost to equivalent unit completed and transferred out of the process and to equivalent unit in ending work in the process inventory. The weighted Avg Cost is the total of all cost entering the work in process account divided by total equivalent units
25. Physical Units (Step 1) Work in process, beginning: 100% material 60% conversion costs 1,000 Units started in process 35,000 36,000 Units transferred out: 31,000 Units in ending inventory: 100% material 5,000 20% conversion costs 36,000
26. Compute Equivalent Units (Step 2) Materials Conversion Completed and transferred 31,000 31,000 Ending inventory 5,000 1,000 Equivalent units 36,000 32,000 100% 20%
27. Compute Equivalent Unit Costs (Step 3) Materials Conversion Beginning inventory Rs 2,350 Rs 5,200 Current costs 84,050 62,000 Total Rs86,400 Rs67,200 Equivalent units 36,000 32,000 Cost per unit Rs2.40 Rs2.10
28. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) Work in process beginning inventory: Materials Rs 2,350 Conversion 5,200 Total beginning inventory Rs 7,550 Current costs in Melting Department: Materials Rs84,050 Conversion Rs62,000 Costs to account for Rs153,600
29. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) Costs transferred out: 31,000 × (Rs2.40 + Rs2.10) =Rs139,500 Costs in ending inventory: Materials 5,000 × Rs2.40 12,000 Conversion 1,000 × Rs2.10 2,100 Total costs accounted for: Rs153,600
30. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) This step distributes the department’s costs to units transferred out: 31,000 units × Rs4.50 = Rs139,500 And to units in ending work in process inventory: Rs12,000 + Rs2,100 = Rs14,100
31. Weighted-Average Work in Process Inventory,Melting Beg. Inv. 7,550 Transferred Materials 84,050 to Finishing Conversion 62,000 139,500 Balance 14,100
33. FIFO Process Costing Method Assign the cost of the previous accounting period equivalent unit in beginning WIP Inventory to the first unit completed and transferred out of process. Assign the cost of equivalent unit work on during the current period first to complete beginning inventory, next to start and complete new unit, and finally to unit in ending WIP inventory. The work done on beginning inventory before the current period is kept separate from work done in the current period.
34. Compute Equivalent Units (Steps 1 and 2) Materials Conversion Completed and transferred: From beginning inventory 0 400 Started and completed 30,000 30,000 Ending inventory 5,000 1,000 35,000 31,400 Quantity schedule (Step 1) is the same as the weighted-average method.
36. Compute Equivalent Unit Costs (Step 3) Materials Conversion Current costs Rs84,050 Rs62,000 Equivalent units 35,000 31,400 Cost per unit Rs2.40 Rs1.975
37. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) Work in process beginning inventory: Rs7,550 Current costs: Material 84,050 Conversion 62,000 Total Rs153,600 Same as using weighted-average
38. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) Costs transferred out: From beginning inventory: Rs7,550 Conversion costs added: 400 × Rs1.975= Rs790 Rs8,340 From current production: 30,000 × Rs4.375 131,250 Total Rs139,590
39. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) Work in process ending inventory: Materials: 5,000 × Rs2.40=Rs12,000 Conversion: 1000 × Rs1.975 = 1,975 Total Rs13,975
40. Summarize and Assign Total Costs (Steps 4 and 5) Costs transferred out Rs139,590 Cost in ending inventory Rs13,975 Rs153,565 An alternative approach: Costs to account for Rs153,600 Cost in ending inventory Rs13,975 Costs transferred out Rs139,625 + = – =
41. FIFO Work in Process Inventory, Melting Beg. Inv. 7,550 Transferred Materials 84,050 to Finishing Conversion 62,000 139,625 Balance 13,975
42. Comparison of Weighted-Average and FIFO Methods Weighted Average FIFO Difference Costs of units completed and transferred out Rs139,500 Rs139,625 +Rs125 Work in process, ending 14,100 13,975 –Rs 125 Total costs accounted for Rs153,600 Rs153,600 0
43. Beginning & Ending WIP Weighted Average vs. FIFO Weighted-Average All units and costs are considered together to determine average cost per EU, regardless of whether the costs were incurred last period or currently. FIFO Costs are accounted for by layer. Cost per EU for this period is computed separately from the Cost per EU for last period.
44. Beginning & Ending WIP Weighted-Average All units and costs are considered together to determine average cost per EU, regardless of whether the costs were incurred last period or currently. Weighted-Average is the most commonly used method. Weighted Average vs. FIFO
