Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
ABC Costing
Cost Accounting is a form of managerial accounting that helps the company in assessing the total variable cost so as to compute the cost of production. Cost accounting is generally used by the management so as to ensure better decision-making. In comparison to financial accounting, cost accounting has to follow a set standard ad can be used flexibly by the management as per their needs. The types of Cost Accounting include – Lean Accounting, Standard Costing, Marginal Costing and Activity Based Costing.
![### Exercise 5-8 (Algorithm) Equivalent Units; Cost per Equivalent Unit; Assigning Costs to Units—Weighted-Average Method [LO5-2, LO5-3, LO5-4]
**Overview:**
Helix Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system to manufacture prefabricated flooring. The production process involves a series of steps where all materials for the first production department are added at the beginning. The data for May in the first production department are as follows:
**Data Table:**
| Description | Units | Percent Complete - Materials | Percent Complete - Conversion |
|----------------------------------------------------------|-------|------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| Work in process inventory, May 1 | 59,000| 100% | 30% |
| Units started into production | 39,000| 100% | 20% |
| **Materials cost in work in process inventory, May 1** | | | |
| Cost in work in process inventory, May 1 | | $49,600 | $13,900 |
| Cost added during May | | $273,480 | $199,812 |
**Requirements:**
1. Calculate the first production department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.
2. Calculate the first production department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.
3. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for May.
4. Compute the first production department's cost of units transferred to the next production department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
