Process Costing is a costing system that assigns costs equally to homogeneous units
within a particular time period.
Process Costing is a costing system that assigns costs equally to homogeneous units
within a particular time period.
This is an appropriate system to use when:•Units do not differ from each other.
•Unit cycle time is relatively short.
•The production process is continuous.

Example 1: All Units Fully Completed (No WIP)
Toothpick, Inc. is a new company that makes toothpicks from damaged antique furniture. The
product sells at a premium and is in high demand.
During June, they purchased 8,000 pounds of wood scraps costing $67,000. They spent $6,500 on labor. Toothpick, Inc. incurred other process
overhead (insurance, rent, benefits, etc.) of $6,000. They produced and sold 250,000 toothpicks during June. There were no units in beginning or ending
WIP inventory.
Compute the cost per toothpick produced.

Some Units Not Fully Complete (Ending WIP)
In many cases, there will be
some units at the end of the month
still in the process.

With a continuous process, it would be unrealistic to expect
every unit to be complete at the end of each month

We have to compute EQUIVALENT UNITS in Ending WIP for both Direct Materials and for
Conversion Costs.

Summarize the flow of physical units. Compute the number of equivalent
units. Summarize the total costs to account
for (for both DM and CC) Compute costs per equivalent unit. Assign costs to COGS and to ending
WIP.

For July, Toothpick purchased 9,000 pounds of wood scraps for $72,000. They spent $7,500 on labor
and had other process overhead of $7,404.
Toothpick started 300,000 units in July, completing and selling 260,000 units. Ending WIP had 40,000
toothpicks. Beginning WIP was zero.
The ending WIP was 100% complete with respect to material, but only 40% of the conversion work has
been done.
Compute the cost per toothpick produced. Also, compute the Ending WIP Inventory and COGS.

For August, Toothpick purchased 9,500 pounds of wood scraps for $75,000. They spent $8,000 on labor
and had other process overhead of $7,000.
Toothpick started 320,000 units in July, completing 335,000 units. Ending WIP had 25,000 toothpicks.

Recognizing Spoilage
Spoilage represents the amount of resources that go into the process, but DO NOT result in finished product.
Managers face key problems related to spoilage:
1. Identifying whether it exists.
2. Determining whether it can be eliminated.
3. Deciding whether eliminating it is worthwhile.

Spoilage represents the amount of resources that go into the process, but DO NOT result in finished product.
The 5-step approach discussed earlier can be modified by including Spoilage as an additional type of input and
adjusting the formulas accordingly.
