Preliminaries
V. Overview of the Module The introduction to cost accounting, cost accounting cycle and job order costing
will be discussed.
VI. Module Outcomes Cost of goods manufactured and sold statement, job order cost sheets and
related journal entries.
Lesson Objectives: At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
1. Differentiate manufacturing activity from service and merchandising
2. Identify the product costs – direct materials, direct labor and overhead
3. Present in the financial statement the manufacturing business inventories –
Raw materials, work in process and finished goods
Getting Started
There are three types of business activities namely: service, merchandising and manufacturing.
The accounting cycle used service and merchandising activity during Financial Accounting and Reporting.
This lesson will introduce cost accounting for manufacturing activity.
Cost Accounting is defined as a systematic set of procedures for recording and reporting measurements
of the cost of manufacturing goods and performing services in the aggregate and in detail. It is also a
method of managerial accounting which aims to capture the total production cost of a business by
measuring variable costs of each production phase as well as fixed cost.
A merchandising company buys a product that is ready for resale when it is purchased. The
product will not be changed to make it salable except for special packaging or display. It has only
merchandise inventory in the financial statements.
A manufacturing company buys raw materials and processes it in to finished goods to be sold.
In processing, direct labor and overhead are incurred. It has three kinds of inventories namely – raw
materials, work in process and finished goods.
Manufacturing Inventories:
1. Materials inventory – upon purchased of raw materials, the costs are charged to materials
inventory account. Any unused raw materials at the end of the period will be the ending balance
of the said account.
2. Work in process – when the materials are processed, labor and overhead are incurred. Hence,
the materials, labor and overhead will be charged to work in process account. Any unfinished
work at the end of the period will be the ending balance of the said account.
3. Finished Goods - when the goods are completely processed, the cost incurred to complete the
goods are charged to finished goods account. Any unsold goods at the end of the period will be
the ending balance of the said account.
1. Direct Materials are the basic ingredients that are transformed into finished products through the
use of labor and factory overhead in the production process. Direct materials are those that can
be traced to the finished product. All manufactured products are made from basic direct materials.
The basic materials for bread is flour, wood for tables and chairs, and meat for hamburger.
2. Direct Labor represents the amount paid as wages to those working directly on the product. The
direct labor for table and chair is the wages paid to carpenter, for bread the bakers’ wages, and
chef’s wages for cooked meals/products.
3. Factory Overhead costs are other manufacturing costs that cannot be classified as direct material
or direct labor. Examples are indirect materials, indirect labor, depreciation of plant building and
machineries, repairs and maintenance.
1. Marketing or selling expenses include all costs necessary to secure customer orders and get the
finished product or service into the hands of the customer. Examples are advertising, shipping,
sales travel, sales commissions, sales salaries and expenses associated with finished goods
warehouse.
2. Administrative or general expenses include all executive, organizational and clerical expenses that
cannot logically be included under either production or marketing. Examples are executive
compensation, general accounting, secretarial and similar expenses having to do with the overall
administration of the organization as a whole.
1. Fixed costs remain constant in total, irrespective of the volume of production. Fixed costs are not
related to activity within the relevant range. Fixed costs are assignable to department based on
different allocation methods. Examples are salaries of production executives, depreciation of
equipment computed on a straight line method, periodic rent payments and insurance. Cost per
unit decreases as volume increases, and increases as volume decreases.
2. Variable costs are items of cost which vary directly, in total, in relation to volume of production.
Examples are: direct materials, direct labor, royalties and commission of salesmen. Cost per unit
remains constant as volume changes within a relevant range.
3. Mixed cost are items with fixed and variable components. Mixed costs vary with the level of
production, though not in direct relation to it, probably because part of the cost is fixed while the
rest is variable.
Cost Accounting is defined as a systematic set of procedures for recording and reporting
measurements of the cost of manufacturing goods and performing services in the aggregate and
in detail. It is also a method of managerial accounting which aims to capture the total
production cost of a business by measuring variable costs of each production phase as well as
fixed cost.
A manufacturing company buys raw materials and processes it in to finished goods to be sold.
In processing, direct labor and overhead are incurred.
Manufacturing business has three inventories: raw materials, work in process and finished goods
Product costs are direct materials, direct labor, overhead
Non manufacturing costs are marketing and administrative expense
Costs related to variability are fixed, variable and mixed costs

Lesson Objectives: At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
1. Prepare journal entries for manufacturing and non manufacturing transactions
2. Prepare cost of goods manufactured and sold statement
3. Prepare income statement and statement of financial position of a manufacturing business
Getting Started
After having the knowledge of cost accounting and different kinds of inventories and costs
classifications, we now have the transactions incurred by a manufacturing firm. These transactions are
to be recorded and summarized for financial statement preparations.
The manufacturing company buys raw materials to be charged to Materials account. For these
materials to be processed Direct Labor and Factory overhead will be incurred. Thus, these three cost
elements will be charged to work in process account. After the goods are completely processed, the cost
of goods to manufactured will be transferred to Finished Goods. When the goods have been sold, the
cost of goods sold will be charged to the Cost of Goods Sold account, which is deducted from Sales to get
the gross profit.

Lesson Objectives: At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
1. Define Job Order Costing
2. Enumerate the characteristics of job order costing
3. Prepare journal entries for manufacturing for job order costing
4. Prepare cost of goods manufactured and sold statement
5. Prepare job order cost sheet
Getting Started
After having the knowledge and skills in recording transactions and preparing the related financial
statements involving the cost accounting cycle, we now to keep tract of these data using the job order
costing system.
In job order costing, the cost of each order produced for a given customer or the cost of each lot to
be placed in stock is recorded on a job order cost sheet, sometimes called simply a cost sheet. The cost
sheets are subsidiary records which are controlled by the work in process account. Although several jobs
or orders may be going through a factory at the same time, each cost sheet is designed to collect the cost
of materials, labor and factory overhead (usually estimated rather the actual factory overhead cost) to a
specific job. Each cost sheet is assigned a job number, which is placed on each material requisition and
labor time ticket in connection with the job. These forms for materials and labor are totaled daily or
weekly by job number, for summary journal entries, and the details are entered on the cost sheets.

Preliminaries
V. Overview of the Module Process Costing topics will cover different losses incurred by first and succeeding
departments. The quantity schedule, the costs charged to the department and the
costs accounted for shall be the major parts of the production reports and its
accompanying supporting schedules.
VI. Module Outcomes Cost of production report and related journal entries
Lesson Number 1
Lesson Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the student is expected to:
1. Define process costing
2. Enumerate the characteristics of process costing
3. Prepare necessary journal entries of the flow of cost in different process departments
with out lost units
4. Prepare the cost of production report for each department involving no lost units.
During the prelim period, we had completed the cost accounting cycle and had applied job
order costing in the cycle. We prepared job order cost sheets for different job orders that are
identifiable to a particular customer. These cost sheet summarize the direct material, direct labor and
overhead for each particular job. Examples are products that may be customed made or may be
distinguished from each other such as dress, furniture, equipment, machineries and the like .
This midterm period, we will take up process costing for homogenous products such as sugar, oil,
cereals, milk and the like. This time we will prepare cost of report for each department which will show
the cost of materials, labor and overhead per department.
Process Costing
Definition: Process Costing is defined as a branch of operation costing, that determines the cost of a
product at each stage, i.e. process of production. It is an accounting method which is adopted by the
factories or industries where the standardized identical product is produced, as well as it passes through
multiple processes for being transformed into the final product.
In simple words, process costing is a cost accounting technique, in which the costs incurred during
production are charged to processes and averaged over the total units manufactured. For this
purpose, process accounts are opened in the books of accounts, for each process and all the expenses
relating to the process for the period is charged to the respective process account.
Hence, it ascertains the total cost and unit cost of a process, for all the processes carried
out in industry. Further, the average cost represents the cost per unit, wherein the total
cost is divided by the total number of outputs produced during the period to arrive at the
cost per unit. The cost per unit can be calculated using First in First Out Method
(FIFO), Average Method and Weighted average Method.
(https://businessjargons.com/process-costing.html)
Process Costing Involving No lost Units
The first discussion will consider no lost units during the production process for both the first
and succeeding departments. Please refer to pages 290 -295 of the text book.
Format illustration and procedures for the first department
The cost of production has three major parts namely:
1. Quantity schedule which summarizes the units started, units completed and units
still in process at the end of the period.
2. Cost charged to the department enumerates the cost of materials, labor and
overhead incurred by the department with the unit cost.
3. Cost accounted for as follows enumerates the cost of units completed and
transferred to the succeeding department and cost of ending work in process
inventory.
Below is the format (terms) to be written first and the peso values are to be written in the
money columns as they are computed.

Lesson Number 2
Lesson Title Process Costing involving normal lost units
Lesson Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the student is expected to:
1. Prepare necessary journal entries of the flow of cost in different process departments
with normal lost units
2. Prepare the cost of production report for each department involving lost units
normal
Getting Started (Optional)
Normal or unavoidable loss is produced under efficient operating conditions and is uncontrollable.
Normally lost units are expected during production. The lost may be incurred in the different
stages of production – at the beginning or at the end of the process.
Illustration of process costing involving lost units incurred at the beginning of the process
When the lost is incurred at the beginning of the process, the cost from the preceding department
will be adjusted. Thus, the lost will be distributed to all the units received from the preceding department
by increase in its unit cost.
Since the lost units will no longer be processed, it will not be included in the equivalent
production computation.

Lesson Title Process Costing involving abnormal and normal lost units
Lesson Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the student is expected to:
Prepare necessary journal entries of the flow of cost in different process departments
with normal and abnormal lost units
Prepare the cost of production report for each department involving both normal
and abnormal lost units
Usually manufacturing companies set standards through quality control. This is to ensure that
products produced will satisfy customers and be competitive in the market.
Production schedules are made regularly. The level of efficiency for output is also a basis for the
evaluation of the management. A minimum number of expected wastage is also set and beyond this
minimum level means an abnormal situation that is not to be charged to the product cost but to Factory
Overhead Control.
Abnormal or avoidable loss is considered unnecessary, because the conditions resulting in the
loss are controllable.
The quantity schedule will show how many abnormal units were lost. The cost charged to the
department will be the same as discussed. While the cost accounted for as follows will show the cost of
the abnormal lost to be charged to Factory Overhead Control and/or Spoiled Goods inventory if the
spoiled units have a reasonably stable resale value.

Lesson Number 1
Lesson Title Process Costing – Average Method
The midterm coverage illustrated cost of production report listing the work in process ending
inventories. These inventories become the beginning inventories of the next period. There are two
methods of accounting these beginning inventories namely:
1. Average costing
In average cost method, the cost of the work in process inventory is merged with the cost added
by the department in the current period. Thus, there will be an average unit cost to be assigned.
Cost from beginning inventory + Cost added during the period/equivalent production
The quantity schedule will have work in process inventory beginning inventory.
The cost charged to the department will show in detail the cost of the work in process
inventory.
The cost accounted for as follows will just be the same as discussed during the midterm period.
Equivalent production computation and treatment to lost units will be the same as discussed in
the midterm period.

Under average costing method, there is only one unit cost for each cost item.
The cost of the beginning inventory is added to the current cost incurred by the
department to arrive at an average unit cost.
The degree of completion of the beginning inventory is disregarded in computing the
equivalent production.

Lesson Number 2
Lesson Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the student is expected to:
1. Illustrate and discuss the costing method using FIFO method
2. Prepare cost of production report of the first and succeeding department using
FIFO method
The first in first out method may be used to account for the beginning work in process inventory.
The work in process inventory costs remain to be separated from the current cost incurred by the
department and not averaged with the new costs. Thus, there will be one unit cost from goods completed
from the beginning work in process inventory and another unit cost from the goods completed during the
period.
The cost of completing the units in the beginning inventory is computed first, followed by
computing the cost of the goods started and completed during the period.
Thus, the degree of completion for both work in process beginning and ending are considered.
The quantity schedule will be the same. However, the cost charged to the department and the
cost accounted for will be different.
The cost charged to the department will present the work in process beginning inventory in total
followed by current cost transferred in from the preceding department for the succeeding department
and the cost added by the department. This is shown below.
The cost accounted for as follows will show the cost of completed and transferred considering
first the cost of beginning inventory with the necessary cost to complete and the cost of the units started
and completed during the period. The work in process ending inventory will be the same as previously
discussed. This is shown below.
Work in Process Beginning inventory XXX (100% - % completed work last period) XXXX
Started and completed this period XXXX
Work in process ending inventory (completed this period) XXXX

Lesson Number 3
Assigning cost to products is required for inventory costing for income determination and
financial statement purposes By product and joint product costing shall provide data that may be
beneficial to attain maximum profit and evaluating actual performance.
Joint costs are costs incurred in the common processing of products, which may be are joint
products or by products, from the same process. A joint cost is incurred before the products separate
and become identifiable. Thus, this cost should be allocated to the products produced. However, the
costs after separation are identifiable with the individual products which are no longer allocated.
Joint products are products that are produced simultaneously in one or more than common
processes. There is a point that they split off and will be processed individually. They have relative
sales value. They are also termed as main products.
1. Joint costs or cost before split off or cost before separation or cost before further processing.
These shall be allocated by using different methods. The total product cost is the sum of
joint cost allocation plus the cost after split off. This will determine the inventory costs,
cost of goods manufactured and sold and gross profit.
2. Cost after split off or cost after separation or further processing costs. Since these are
identifiable costs, they need not be allocated.
Methods of Allocating joint costs to joint products:
The quantity of output produced will be the basis for allocating the joint costs. The formula to
get the joint cost allocation will be : Joint Costs/ total output = the joint cost per unit multiplied by the
units produced for each product.
When the market value at split off is known and reliable, it may be used as a basis for allocation.
We have to compute the total market value of the products at split off. The total joint cost divided by the
total market value will equal the percentage cost ratio of the two variables. This percentage ratio is
multiplied to the total market value of the individual product to compute the share in the joint cost.
If there is no available market value at split off point, we have to estimate it by using the net
realizable value method.
The estimated market value is equal to the Final Sales Value less the (further processing plus cost
disposal cost).
Then the estimated market value will be used to allocate the joint cost as discussed in the market
value at split off method.
Illustration:
Helen Corporation manufactures products, W, X, Y and Z from a joint process. Additional
information follows:

Joint costs are costs incurred in the common processing of products, which may be are joint
products or by products, from the same process
Joint products are products that are produced simultaneously in one or more than common
processes.
The total product cost is the sum of joint cost allocation plus the cost after split off. This will
determine the inventory costs, cost of goods manufactured and sold and gross profit.
Methods of Allocating joint costs to joint products:
Physical output method/ average unit cost method
Market value at split off method
Net realizable value method or hypothetical market value or estimated market

Lesson Number 4
Lesson Objectives : At the end of the lesson, the student is expected to:
Joint costs are costs incurred in the common processing of products, which may be are joint
products or by products, from the same process.
By products is just a consequence in processing the main product(s). They just have a low sales
value as compared with the main product(s).
There are two options that may be done regarding the joint costs incurred during the process.
1. Joint cost may not be allocated to the by product. However, sales from the by product may be
treated as (a) additional sales revenue (b) deduction from cost of goods sold (c) Other income
(d) deduction from the total manufacturing cost
2. Joint cost may be allocated to by product if the by product income is significant and considered
important by the management. There are two methods namely (a) net realizable value method
(b) reversal cost method
Illustration:
Blue Company produces product XY from a process that also yield a by product Z. The by product
requires P4,000 additional processing cost. The company decided to charge the joint cost to XY. The by
product will required selling and administrative of P1,000. Information concerning a batch produced in
January of the current year follows:
Required: Income statements showing the net revenue of the by product treated as (a)
additional sales revenue (b) deduction from cost of goods sold (c) Other income (d) deduction from the
total manufacturing cost
1. b Sales (net revenue) from by product deduction from cost of goods sold
1.d Sales (net revenue) from by product deduction from total manufacturing cost
Note: All three presentations (1.a, 1.b, 1.c) resulted in the same amount of net income. The presentation
in the income statement will not affect the amount of net income. It is only in case 1.d that the net
income is affected because of the total manufacturing costs was decreased and as a result, the cost of
inventory of the main product was affected. This caused the net income to decrease.
Maxwell Company manufactures product AB from a process that also produces by product X
and Y. The following data pertain to operations for April of the current year.
AB X Y Total
Required:
1. Share of the by products in the joint cost of P50,000 using reversal cost method.
2. Net income for the main product and the by products.
