For you to demonstrate ULOb, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.
Manufacturing concern business is any industry that makes products from raw
materials by the use of manual labor or machinery and that is usually carried out
systematically with a division of labor
Raw Material Inventory is the total cost of all component parts currently in stock that
have not yet been used in work-in-process or finished goods production.
Work in Process Inventory is materials that have been partially completed through
the production process.
Direct Materials are those materials and supplies that are consumed during the
manufacture of a product, and which are directly identified with that product.
Direct Labor is the production or services labor that is assigned to a specific product,
cost center, or work order.
Factory Overhead is the costs incurred during the manufacturing process, not
including the costs of direct labor and direct materials. It is normally aggregated and
allocated to units produced during the period.
Cost of Goods Sold is the cost of acquiring or manufacturing the products that a
company sells during a period, so the only costs included in the measure are those
that are directly tied to the production of the products, including the cost of labor,
materials, and manufacturing overhead.

necessary information. Manufacturing businesses
the information system that they should have is
designed to accumulate detailed costs data relative
to the production process. Thus, they need to have
a structured cost accounting system that will show

The costs of materials used, direct labor costs and factory overhead costs (that are
composed of indirect materials, indirect labor, utility costs, depreciation of factory
building and machineries and equipment, supplies and other factory costs) are
transferred and accumulated to the Work in Process Inventory account during the
accounting period. After the production is completed and the products are already
finished, all the manufacturing costs from Work in Process Inventory account will be
transferred to the Finished Goods Inventory account. The remaining cost in the Work in
Process inventory account will be the Work in Process Inventory, End and this will be
the Work in Process Inventory, beginning in the next accounting period. All the costs
that are transferred to finished goods will be accounted as Cost of Goods Sold if the
products are sold that are reported to the Statement of Comprehensive Income or the
Income Statement of the company and the costs of the unsold product will make up the
balance of Finished Goods Inventory, end that will form part as the costs of Finished
Goods Inventory, beginning for the next accounting period.

system. Job order costing system is more detailed in record keeping than process
costing system. The managers should compare the additional benefits that will be
derive from knowing the actual cost of each unit. Thus, if the record keeping costs is
equal from job order costing and process costing then it is better to use job order
costing system but in order have a better decision then they need to get all the data
needed to consider the process costing system.

Big Picture in Focus: ULOf. Define and distinguish the different types of
costs and expenditures that are useful in planning, control and analytical
processes; the cost are not limited to the following:
f.1. Product Cost and Period Cost
f.2. Prime Cost and Conversion Cost;
f.3. Direct Cost and Indirect Cost;
f.4. Variable Cost, Fixed Cost and Mixed Cost;
f.5. Common Cost and Joint Cost;
f.6. Capital Expenditure and Revenue Expenditure; and
f.7. Controllable costs and Non-controllable Cost.
Metalanguage
For you to demonstrate ULOf, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.
Product Costs is the cost from the supplier plus all costs necessary to get the item
into inventory and ready for sale.
Period Costs is the cost that are nescessarily be reported to the income statement as
deduction to the revenue.
Prime Cost is the direct cost of a commodity in terms of the materials and labor
involved in its production, excluding fixed costs
Conversion Cost is a term used in cost accounting that represents the combination
of direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs.
Direct Cost is a price that can be directly tied to the production of specific goods or
services.
Indirect Cost is cost that are not directly accountable to a cost object (such as a
particular project, facility, function or product).

Fixed Cost is a cost that does not change with an increase or decrease in the amount
of goods or services.
Mixed Cost is a cost that contains both a fixed cost component and a
variable cost component.
Common Cost is a cost that is not attributable to a specific cost object, such as a
product or process.
Joint Cost is a cost incurred in a joint process. Joint costs may include direct material,
direct labor, and overhead costs incurred during a joint production process.
Capital Expenditure are funds used by a company to acquire, upgrade, and maintain
physical assets such as property, buildings, an industrial plant, technology, or
equipment.
Revenue Expenditure is a cost that is charged to expense as soon as the cost is
incurred.
Opportunity costs is the benefit that is missed or given up when an investor, individual
or business chooses one alternative over another.
Differential costs is the difference between the cost of two alternative decisions, or of a
change in output levels.
Relevant costs is a managerial accounting term that describes avoidable costs that are
incurred only when making specific business decisions.
Out-of-pocket costs is the direct payment of money that may or may not be later
reimbursed from a third-party source.
Sunk costs is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered.
Controllable costs re those costs that can be altered in the short term. More
specifically, a cost is considered to be controllable if the decision to incur it resides with
one person.

Product Cost
This is consist of the 3 major components namely: Direct Material, Direct Labor and
Factory Overhead. This are cost nescessary to produce a finish product.
Direct Materials are basic inggredients that are transformed to a finished product
aligned with the use of direct labor anf factory overhead. This are materials that are
directly, conveniently and economically traceable to the product example: flour is for
bread, steel sheet for automobiles, wood for tables and chairs and others
Directly traceable means that materials can be seen immediately to the product.
Conveniently tarceable means that the materials can be recognized without undue cost.
Economically treaceable means that the cost of the materials can be measureable
immediately without undue effort and cost.
If the material cost are not economically, directly and conveniently traceable they are
recorded as part of the factory overhead in the form of indirect materials. The example
of this cost are nails and paints in the furnitures, rivets in airplanes and bolts in
automobiles.
Direct Labor are amount of peso paid as wages to the people who works directly to the
product. This direct labor costs that are directly relates to the product of the company
includes the amount paid to machine operators, maintenance workers and other
workers directly involved in molding the products, while those amount paid to the people
not directly shaping the products are part of the indirect labor costs reported to the
factory overhead. This cost includes wages and salaries given to supervisors, machine
helpers and other support personnel. Payroll taxes, group insurance, sick pay, vacation
and holiday pay and other fringe benefits are usually included in the factory overhead
even it is part of the direct labor cost.
Factory Overhead the element that are considered as the indirect cost of all the
product cost. All cost that are not classified as direct material and direct labor costs are
recognized in this section. This are cost that are not practically, economically and
conveniently traced to the product. This is also called as manufacturing overhead,
factory burden and indirect manufacturing costs.
Indirect materials and supplies: nails, rivets, lubricants and small tools
Indirect labor costs: wages of lift-truck driver, maintenance and inspecton labor,
engineering labor, machine helpers and supervisors.
Other indirect factory costs: building, machinery and tool maintenance, propery taxes,
property insurance, pension costs, factory rent and utility.
Period Costs

Telefax: (084) 655-9591, Local 116
This are cost that are reported as expense in the period it is incurred. This costs are
group into marketing or selling expenses and administrative or general expense.
Administrative or general expenses is the costs that are spent to all executive,
organizational and clerical expenses that are not included in production and marketing.
This expenses are executive compensation, general accounting, general administration
and all expenses that are incurred by the company in the administrative and general as
a whole in the organization.
Conversion costs are the costs combined from the direct labor and factory overhead
that are use to transform the raw materials to finished products.
Indirect costs are costs that are not conveniently and economically traceable to the
product and if indirect costs that is charge to other departments that are later transferred
to other department are called indirect departmental charges.
VARIABLE COSTS, FIXED COSTS AND MIXED COSTS
Variable costs are costs that will vary directly to the change in total in relation to the
volume of production. In essence, the total costs will vary as the volume changes but
the cost per unit will not change even if there are changes in volume.
Illustration 1

Therefore, the labor cost per unit will not change but the total costs will increase if the
volume will increase but if the volume will decrease then the total costs will also
decrease.
Fixed costs are costs that will remain constant in total even if there are changes in
volume of production but as to per unit it will vary inversely to the change in volume.
This costs are categorized into committed fixed costs and managed fixed costs.
Committed fixed costs are costs that are relatively committed on the management as
a result of past decision in a long-term basis. Example; depreciation.
Managed fixed costs are costs that are incurred in a short term basis and can be
easily modified and changed in respond to management objectives. Example;
advertising, research and development and training of employees.

The rental cost of the company is P/ 100,000 pesos yearly.
Volume Rental cost Cost per Unit(volume)
May 8,000 100,000 12.5
June 9,090 100,000 11.0
July 8,333 100,000 12.0
August 8,695 100,000 11.5
September 7,692 100,000 13.0
October 6,400 100,000 15.625
November 7,142 100,000 14.00
Therefore, the total cost will not change as volume change as even if no produce the
cost will still be incurred by the company but the cost per unit is changing inversely as
the volume increase the cost per unit decreases and the cost per unit will increase if the
volume will decrease.
Mixed Costs are costs that has both the characteristics of fixed and variable cost or this
are cost that are partly fixed and partly variable. This cost has two types; semi-variable
costs and step costs.
Semi-variable costs are costs that definitely has fixed portion of the minimum fee
required and the variable portion is charge of using the service. Examples; utilities, cost
of cellphone or telephone plan. In the figure f.3 the line where it start is the fixed portion
and as the volume increase the cost will increase accordingly and that is the variable
portion of the costs.

The company renting a building for P/ 250,000 and in addition the company also will pay
2% of the total sales of the company per year. The company earned a P/ 2,500,000
total sales for the current year.
Step Costs are costs changes abruptly in a various activity levels. This are similar to
fixed cost in a very small relevant range. In other words the fixed costs will change in a
various level of production of the company as presented in the figure f.4.
Separating the Fixed cost portion and the Variable cost portion in the mixed costs
The problem of the manager is to ascertain as to how much is the fixed portion of the
mixed costs thus, separating the variable and fixed in a mixed cost is necessary. Then,
the manager will now have to use either of the three (3) methods of separating fixed and
variable costs to analyze and evaluate the cost incurred by the company.
This course will only discuss two of the methods namely the High-Low Method and the
Least Square Method, while the scatter graph method will be discuss in other
accounting related subject.
High-Low Method is the method of separating fixed and variable components of the
mixed cost by getting the highest volume and their corresponding cost and the lowest
volume and also their corresponding cost. Then follow the formula below
Cost of the Highest Volume minus(-) Cost of the Lowest Volume
Variable Costs/unit = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed Cost = Cost of the highest volume – (Highest volume * Variable cost per unit)
or
FC = CHV – (HV * VCU)
or
Fixed Cost = Cost of the lowest volume – (Lowest volume * Variable cost per unit)
or
FC = CLV – (LV * VCU)
Whereas;
Legends:
TC – Total Costs VC – Variable Costs
FC – Fixed Costs VCU – Variable Cost per Unit
FCU – Fixed Cost per Unit TCU – Total Cost per Unit

1. Compute:
a. the variable cost per unit
b. the total fixed costs
2. Compute for the total costs if the production is 7,800 units will be produced
Solution:
1.A
CHV – CLV 15,500 – 8,500
VCU = ------------------------- VCU = ------------------------
HV – LV 9,000 – 3,000
7,000
VCU = ---------- VCU = 1.1666…
6,000
1.B
FC = 15,500 – (9,000 * 1.1666…) FC = 8,500 – (3,000 * 1.1666…)
FC = 15,500 – 10,500 FC = 8,500 – 3,500
FC = 5,000 FC = 5,000
2.
TC = FC + VC
TC = FC + (V * VCU)
TC = 5,000 + (7,800 * 1.1666…)
TC = 5,000 + 9,100
TC = 14,100
Least Square Method
The formulas that are to be use in this solution are the linear equation formula.
Equation 1: Y = a + bx
Equation 2: ∑y = na + b∑x
Equation 3: ∑xy = ∑xa + b∑x2
Where:
Y = Total costs
n = number of given data
a = Fixed costs
b = Variable costs per unit
x = Level of activity

a = 5,612.15
Using Equation 3:
579,500,000 = 46,250a + 1.0725(298,312,500)
46,250a = 259,561,944.82
259,561,944.82
a = --------------------------------
46,250
a = 5,612.15
3. Using the Equation: Y = a +bx
Y = 5,612.15 + 7,800(1.0725)
Y = 5,612.15 + 8,365.50
Y = 13,977.65
Joint costs are costs that are apportioned to the products as these are product cost of
a process that produces more than one product and that the costs of the direct
materials, direct labor and factory overhead are incurred that are allocated to the
product at split-off point, which the product are already separable to each other. This

cost are not directly identifiable to any of the products, thus allocation is needed for the
products that are produced to absorb the cost of the production.
Revenue expenditures are expenses that are charge directly to the current period this
is also the same with the term period costs.
Non-controllable costs are those cost that cannot be managed or controlled by the
managers. E.g. Depreciation, amortization and depletion.
Opportunity Costs are costs of the alternative that are given up. Example beow:
Alternative 1. You are going to buy fone and load a prepaid worth P/ 15,000 and P/ 600
load per month.
Alternative 2. You are going to get a plan from a telecom company P/ 500.00 per
month for 2 years.

Relevant Costs are future costs that are changing across the alternatives. All the cost
in the table above except other expenses are considered relevant costs.
Out-of-Pocket Costs are cost that require payment of money or this are cost that are
petty in nature.
Example: The employee will pay fare for the taxi P/ 90.00, then, this cost is considered
as pocket cost as this cost should be paid in cash.
Sunk Costs are costs that are historical and cannot be change anymore.
Example: The company purchase machine P/ 200,000 for special purpose. The P/
200,000 is the outlay and cannot be change therefore this is sunk costs.

Safety stock is the level of inventory that will protect the company from out of stock.
Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are
available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc., and even
online tutorial websites.
Control Procedures
A good system is important for a company to achieve this, a company should keep the
costs at a minimum level, smooth and uninterruptible schedule. The following concept
should employed in an inventory control system.
Inventory is a result of transaction from purchase and production of goods and reduction
of inventory is the result of normal use and scrapping unneeded items.
Order cycling this procedures uses the time interval to order additional materials. Such
as purchases are every 30th day or 60th day or 90th day. The cycle length depends on
the type of materials. This is used for small items.
Min-Max Method a control procedure that is based on the assumption of maximum and
minimum levels of materials inventory. Minimum level signals re order to increase the
level of inventory to maximum level and it protects from stock out.
Two-Bin Method is a method used for nonessential and inexpensive. In this method the
materials are divided into two separate bins. One bin is ready for used between an
order is received and the next order is places and the other bin is used between the

rime of ordering and delivery of materials. When 1 bin is empty and use for the
production
ABC Plan is a methods used by companies with a large number of materials. This uses
different types of method in a different classification of material inventory. This method
is used by expensive materials for production. This plan is a systematic way of grouping
materials into classification separately. Example inexpensive or not critical materials are
control under min-max method and the expensive and critical and a more sophisticated
method such as automatic order system may be used.
Material Control
Order Point is the point in which the order should be place as this is the predetermined
minimum level of inventory on hand.
The calculation of order point needs the following data:
Usage is the anticipated level at which the material is used
Lead time is the estimated interval of time between placing an order and receipt of an
order.

Safety stock is the estimated level of inventory to protect from running out of stock or
stockout.
Example: The Company’s expected daily usage level of materials is 200 units the
anticipated lead time is 6 days and the estimated safety stock is 750 units. The order
point is 1,950 units.
200 units (daily usage) * 6 days (lead time) 1,200 units
Safety stock 750 units
Order point 1,950 units

The spoilage relates to specific job directly so this would reduce the work in process
account. The amount is equal to the spoiled units multiplied by estimated sale value per
unit.
Spoiled Goods xxxxxx
Work In Process xxxxxx
The method considers that the reason of spoilage as normal to the company. This is
considered normal as t does not exceed the limit set by the company. The spoiled
goods is equal to the number of spoiled units multiplied by the estimated sale value per
unit. The amount is credited to the work in process the total costs per unit multiplied by
spoiled units and the loss is recognized as part of the factory overhead control. If the
spoiled exceeds the limit set by the company then, it is not normal and the loss on
spoiled unts is charge to the loss account. Therefore, the unit cost per unit originally
charged will not increase anymore even there are spoiled units discovered later on.
Illustrative case
The company has order to make 8,000 pcs of tables and name it Job 4444. The
company incurred the following costs:
Direct Materials 25.00
Direct Labor 30.00
Factory Overhead(allow. for Spoiled work P 1.00) 33.00
Total 88.00
When the order was completed, 500 were rejected, a normal number and were sold at
50 each.
Requirement:
4. Entries to record if the loss is charge to all production.
5. Entries to record if the loss is charge to specific job.

To compute for the difference of the start Cost and the finished cost.
89.47 - 87.00 = 2.47
Then, the loss are absorbed by the good units = 18,500/7,500 = 2.47
Or
Total cost at the start – (Cost of the Finished Goods units / Goods units)
87.00 – (671,000/7,500)

Factory Overhead costs are those cost that are indirect to the production of products.
Variable factory overhead costs are indirect costs that will vary to the level of
production in the relevant range.
Fixed variable overhead costs are indirect cost that will remain constant as to total
even there are increase or decrease in production level within the relevant range.
Mixed factory overhead costs are those costs that are having the characteristics of
both variable and fixed factory overhead.
Budgeted factory overhead costs are costs for the planned production of the

FACTORY OVERHEAD
All cost incurred related to factory that are indirect cost. All the cost that are not direct
materials and direct labor is now considered as factory overhead.
Variable factory overhead cost is the cost that will vary directly as to the change in level
of production within the relevant range as to total, it means that the production
increases the total variable factory overhead variable cost will also increase but the
variable FOH cost per unit is constant and does not change as the level of production
changes.

Fixed factory overhead cost – cost that is constant as to total and does not vary whith
the changes in the level of production but in fixed FOH cost per unit, it vary inversely to
the production, means that the production increases the cost per unit will decrease and
vice versa.
Mixed factory overhead cost are cost that are partially fixed and partially variable in
nature and have characteristics of both fixed and variable. This cost must be separated
properly for the purpose of planning and control of the costs within the organization.
Budgeted Factory Overhead Costs are costs that are prepared for the plan of the
expected level of production. In order to create a flexible budget the separation of the
cost in the classification is a must.

Metalanguage
For you to demonstrate ULOg, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.
Wage plan is the plan or the scheme of providing salaries and wages to employees.
Labor overhead is labor that is reported to the factory overhead. This is labor other
than direct and indirect.
Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are

Labor are any physical or mental effort provided by employee, works or human
resources in producing the product. They are paid with employee benefit such as
compensation, salaries and wages and this payment may be hourly, daily, weekly,
biweekly, monthly, yearly or piece work basis. Wages are paid to production workers
and salaries are paid to managerial and clerical services.
Factory payroll are classified into direct labor and indirect labor. Direct Labor are cost
that are directly related to the production cost, while indirect labor are those cost that
are not directly attributed to the product.

Wage Plan
The company uses different type of wages plans established by management and
approved by unions and comply with regulatory agencies.
Hourly-Rate Plan is a plan that each employee will be given a fix rate per hour and their
compensation will be computed by multiplying the number of hours and the fix rate per
hour. This does not provide incentive to employee during high productivity.
Piece-Rate Plan a plan that the company provide a fix rate per unit and of the earnings
are based on the output of the employee finished during the production. The earnings
shall be computed by the total output multiplied by the fixed rate per unit.
Modified Wage Plan a plan of the company to give a combines the features of Hourly-
Rate plan and Piece rate plan. The company will give fix amount of earnings to the
employee at the same time provides incentive for high level productivity or exceed the
quota.
The labor costs is distributed to the appropriate accounts. The company should
segregate the overtime pay from regular employee time as the treatment of this pay is
different from each other. The overtime will earn an overtime premium, this premium will
be recorded as part of the factory overhead control account.
Example: Jose an employee that earn a regular rate of P 75.00 per hour for an 8-hour
duty. Jose partake 2 hours every day for 5 days in excess of the 8 hours and he will get
40% overtime premium form the excess time from the regular 8-hours duty. He will be
paid weekly
Computation:
Direct Labor (8 * P 75.00 * 5) = 3,000

For the period June 1-15, 2020
Classification of Labor
Direct labor – labor that are feasible to be measured and directly identified and charge
to the production of the products.
Indirect labor – labor that are feasible but cannot be charge and identify directly to the
production of the products. This will benefit the production, in general.

Labor Overhead
Waiting time – is non-productive hours of employees and workers due to lack of work,
materials delay, machine breakdown and machine set-up the amount paid to the
employee due to this reason shall be recognized in the factory overhead accounts.
Example the company is setting up the machine for the new manufacturing process and
it take two hours to set up then, Jose is an employee who is affected by the set up and
paid 100 per hour for 8 hours a day. In his weekly payroll the journal entry is:
Work in Process (8 * 5 = 40 – 2 = 38 * 100) 3,800
Factory Overhead Control*** (2 * 100) 200
Payroll 4,000
***the two hour set up time
Make-up pay – the employee are paid based on the number of units produced are at a
“piecework” compensation plan. The employee is given a minimum wages but they can
earn if they can produced more. Thus, the minimum pay guarantees them salary. If the
employee has P 5,000 minimum wages and his rate is P 200 pesos per piece of output
and for the payroll period he finished 23 units. Thus, his pay based on the piecework is
P 4,600 but he will receive P 5,000 as the minimum wages, so the difference of P 400 is
known as the make-up pay and charge to the factory overhead.
The journal entry would be:
Work in Process 4,600
Factory Overhead Control 400
Payroll 5,000
And if the employee produce 29 units of output thus, the payment received by the
employee is 5,800 (29*200). Then in this situation there is no make-up pay.
The journal entry would be:
Work in Process 5,800
Payroll 5,800
And if the employee produce 25 units of output thus, the payment received by the
employee, since the minimum wage is equal to the actual pay, then no make-up pay is
given. The journal entry would be:
Work in Process 5,000
Payroll 5,000
Example: Princess is an evening shift that earns P 400 per day for 8-hour duty and 50%
is given for an overtime premium. She render 3 hours overtime in Monday, Wednesday
and Friday. She is paid weekly and work 5 days in a week. The journal entry and
computation is as follows:

Shift premium – an extra pay for the employee, who work during evening or evening
shift or night shift. This shift or differential premium is charge to factory overhead.
Assume that Princess is an evening shift that earns P 400 per day for 8-hour duty and
P 100 differential pay. She is paid weekly and work 5 days in a week. The journal entry

Big Picture in Focus: ULOg. Compute for the product cost using process
costing system by preparing cost of production report.
Metalanguage
For you to demonstrate ULOg, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.
Process Costing is a term used in to describe a method for collecting and assigning
manufacturing costs to the units produced and used for processing identical products.
Cost of Production Report a report that summarizes the production and cost activity
within a department for a reporting period. It is simply a formal summary of the four
steps performed to assign costs to units transferred out and units in ending work-in-
process (WIP) inventory.
Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are
available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc., and even
online tutorial websites.
PROCESS COSTING
Costs incurred in this system are allocated during the period. The cost is summarized
on the cost of production report and one report per department for the period of time.
The cost is allocated to the work in process, end and units completed and transferred or
the finished goods. The cost per unit will increase as the product will approaching to the
end of the process as the cost per department is added.
The cost are computed as follow: if the cost of cutting department is P 25.00 per unit,
assembly department is P 20.00 per unit, furnishing department is P 35.00 per unit and
finishing department is P 24.00 per unit.

Direct Labor
Factory Overhead
All costs are chargeable to a department are presented according to the cost elements.
The cost are determine by presenting this report as this is the analysis of the activity in
the department for the period. The following steps must be followed in presenting and
preparing cost of production report.
This presents the physical flow of the units into and out of departments and all the units
started in the department must be accounted for. This schedule is concern only with the
whole units and not considering the stage of completion.
Not all units are not usually completed thus, there are still units that are still in process
and varying stage of completion at the end of the period. The equivalent unit of
production is equal to the restatement of the completed unit in the work in process, end
and the completed unit. The completed units are not a problem. The problem is the
restatement of incomplete units in terms of completed unit. The incomplete units is
accounted for as work in process inventory, end.
Step 3 – determine the costs to be accounted for (cost charge to the department)
The cost of the beginning work in process is the combination of direct materials, direct
labor and factory overhead that were assigned from the last period that must be
accounted for. If the department is not the first department of the process then the
department will receive units from previous department from there as the units receive
the cost from the previous department is also received accordingly. The department

also incur costs from material, labor and factory overhead in its own processing. The
total of this costs must be determined and that composes the total cost of the product.
The cost now is allocated to the completed and transferred, work in process, end and
lost if there is any. The cost for the completed units will be charge to the next
department, and the remaining cost will be allocated to either the work in process, end
and the lost units if there is any.
Even application – the introduction of the three elements of the product cost are evenly
introduce in the process. Thus, one equivalent production is computed.
Uneven application – the elements are introduce to any stage of the process hence,
many computation of equivalent production is computed as the elements are applied to
the production not equal.
As you observe the materials are 100% work done in either units completed or units in

the end. The units in process are still in 60% means that it does not approach to the end
of the process, so the material is none.
3. Same date as number but this time the materials are added in the following stage
of the process.
20% completed = 50% of the materials
80% completed = 50% of the materials
4. Same date as number but this time the materials are added in the following stage
of the process.
At the beginning of the process = 50% of the materials
50% completed = 30% of the materials
At the end of the process = the remaining materials
As you observe the materials 80% work done in units in process. This is the result when
the 50% of the materials are added at the beginning of the process, another 30% will be
added when the units are 50% completed and the remaining 20% are added at the end
of the process. Therefore, 80% work done of material applied to the units in process.

The scrap and defective units are accounted the same as the accounting in job order
costing. The cost to rework is normally charge to factory overhead control account
rather than work in process because usually the defective unit is a result of internal
failure rather than customer’s specifications. The units are classified as lost in a process
costing is the same accounting of the spoiled under job order costing. During the quality
control inspection, when lost are discovered the lost are removed from the process as
this is discovered with imperfections.
NORMAL/ABNORMAL LOSS
Normal loss is an expected loss of the company; while abnormal loss is the loss beyond
the expected loss of the company. The cost of normal lost is charged to product cost as
they become part of the finished goods. While cost of the abnormal lost is recognized in
the factory overhead cost.

The Dark Delectables Company has two processing departments, Cooking and
Packaging. Ingredients are placed into production at the beginning of the process in
Cooking, where they are formed into various shapes. When finished, they are
transferred into Packaging, where the candy is placed into heart and tuxedo boxes and
covered with foil. All material added in Packaging is considered as one material for
convenience. Since the boxes contain a variety of candies, they are considered partially
complete until filled with the appropriate assortment. The following information relates to
the cooking departments for February 2020:

Week 5-6: Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO): At the end of the unit, you are expected to
Big Picture in Focus: ULOa. Compute for the product cost using process
costing system by preparing cost of production report considering the effect
of beginning work in process inventory using FIFO and Average method of
computing the product under process costing system;
Metalanguage
For you to demonstrate ULOa, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.
Average Method is the method of computing cost and units in average format and not
consider the concept of which is first in and which is first out.
Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are
available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc., and even
online tutorial websites.
FIFO METHOD

Telefax: (084) 655-9591, Local 116
The method that assumes the flow of production that the units first placed in the process
is presumed to be the completed first and those that are first completed are those first
transferred out.
Under this method, the work in process beginning will require a separate computation of
equivalent unit of production and the units started, completed and transferred is will also
have separate computations of equivalent units of production.
The equivalent unit of production of this period shall consist only of those that
completed this period and the completed last period is recorded last period.
Example if the product is 70% completed last period. The 70% is recorded as work
done last period so, how many percentage do we need to complete the product? Yes,
30% then the 30% completion is recorded as work done this period.
The unit cost are computed by current period product cost divided by the equivalent
units of current work done.
The cost of goods transferred out is computed as the sum of the following:
a. The cost in beginning work in process inventory
b. The current period cost to complete beginning inventory, computed by the
equivalent unit of production of the beginning work in process multiplied by
the current period unit cost
c. The cost to start and complete units, calculated by number of units multiplied
by the current cost computed
The cost of work in process ending is computed by multiplying the equivalent units of
production by the current product cost per unit.
AVERAGE METHOD
The method the merges all the departmental costs by elements of the beginning work in
process and cost incurred for the period an getting the average units cost by dividing
the total cost by elements tot equivalent units of production.
Under this method, the computation of equivalent units of production from the beginning
work in process is ignored and the total units completed and transferred are considered
to be 100% completed.
The equivalent unit of production of this period does not consider or ignore the work
done last month in computing equivalent unit of production.
The unit cost are computed as follows cost of the beginning work in process added to
the current period product cost divided by the sum of equivalent units of production of
the beginning work in process and the equivalent units of the current work done.
The cost of goods transferred out and the cost of work in process ending is computed
as follows: total units transferred multiply by the weighted average unit cost.
