PROCESS COSTING
Presented By:
DR.N.K.GUPTA
Introduction
• In many industries, products are mass
produced, that is, relatively homogeneous
products are processed in a very similar
manner.
Working notes:
1,000 units introduced – total cost = Rs. 13,750
100 units normal wastage – cost = Rs. 250
900 units normal output - cost = Rs. 13,500
Per unit cost of normal output = 13,500 = Rs. 15

Illustration
The product of a manufacturing concern passes through two processes
A and B and then to finished stock. It is ascertained that in each
process normally 5% of total weight is lost and 10% scrap which
processes A and B realizes Rs. 80 per tonne and Rs. 200 per tonne
respectively.
The following are the figures relating to both the processes:
Process A Process B
Materials in tones 1,000 70
Cost of materials in rupees per tonne 125 200
Wages in rupees 28,000 10,000
Manufacturing expenses in rupees 8,000 5,250
Output in tones 830 780
Prepare Cost account showing cost per tones of each process. There
was no stock or work-in-progress in any process.

Compute Equivalent
Unit Costs (Step 3)
• Materials Conversion
• Beginning
inventory $ 2,350 $ 5,200
• Current costs 84,050 62,000
• Total $86,400 $67,200
• Equivalent units 36,000 32,000
• Cost per unit $2.40 $2.10
Summarize and Assign Total
Costs (Steps 4 and 5)
• Work-in-process beginning inventory:
Materials $ 2,350
Conversion 5,200
Total beginning inventory $ 7,550
+ Current costs in Assembly Department: Materials
$ 84,050 Conversion
62,000
= Costs to account for $153,600
Summarize and Assign Total
Costs (Steps 4 and 5)
• This step distributes the department’s costs to
units transferred out:
31,000 units × $4.50 = $139,500
• And to units in ending work-in-process
inventory: $12,000 + $2,100 = $14,100
Summarize and Assign Total
Costs (Steps 4 and 5)
• Costs transferred out:
31,000 × ($2.40 + $2.10) $139,500
• Costs in ending inventory:
Materials 5,000 × $2.40 12,000
Conversion 1,000 × $2.10 2,100
• Total costs accounted for: $153,600
Journalizing: Weighted-Average
• What are the journal entries in the Assembly
Department?
Work-in-Process, Assembly 84,050
Accounts Payable Control 84,050
• To record direct materials purchased and used
Work-in-Process, Assembly 62,000
Various accounts 62,000
• To record Assembly Department conversion costs

The output of Process X and Process Y at a price
calculated to give a process Y at a price calculated to
give a profit of 20% on transfer price and output of
Process Y is charged to Finished Stock at a profit of
25% on transfer price. The finished department
realized a profit of Rs.1,00,000 for the finished goods
received from Process Y. prepare the Process
