Process costing Brandi Black Feb 19 th 20 Complete Exercise 4-16    Use the Internet to access the website for Weyerhaeuser ( www.weyerhaeuser.com ), International Paper ( www.internationalpaper.com ), or Boise Cascade ( www.boisecascade.com).Required : Skim over the information presented on the website about the company’s products and operations. Then discuss why process costing is an appropriate product-costing method for this company.   Process costing is a terminology that is often used in cost account to help with explaining the method for collecting and assigning the manufacturing cost to the units that were made. According to accounting coach it states that “A processing cost system is used when nearly identical units are mass produced. (Job costing or job order costing is a system used to collect and assign manufacturing costs to units that vary from one another. (accounting Coach,2019)” Boise Cascade is a leading manufacturer along with distributor of building materials to people, products and service to help build homes together for strong homes, business and communities. This company will benefit from utilizing process costing because  around the clock this business will use mass production to produce items such as “Our customers include wholesale and retail lumber yards, home improvement centers, and industrial component manufacturers who fulfill the needs for both new homes and repair and remodel in the residential construction industry.(Boise Cascade, 2019)” the cost of each product that is produced by Boise each department cost would be divvied by each department when it is made.     1
Process costing In closing processing costing is a method that Boise Cascade would benefit from utilizing process costing because “Process costing is used when there is mass production of similar products, where the costs associated with individual units of output cannot be differentiated from each other. In other words, the cost of each product produced is assumed to be the same as the cost of every other product. (Bragg,2019)” Boise Cascade is a whole-sale large mass  production company that uses mass-produced to rebuild homes and business constantly making processing cost the exact technique that the business should use because cost is anticipated during a fixed timeframe that assigns the combined work that was made throughout the time period on a bases. Once products are in its place being manufactured on an individual basis, job costing is used to collect costs and assign the costs to products. When a manufacture procedure holds some mass manufacturing and some customized elements, then a hybrid costing system is used.     2
