Management can compare production cost reports from month to month to help control costs
and assess efficiency of their processes. For example, the equivalent units can be tracked over
time to understand and evaluate capacity utilization. In addition, the cost per equivalent unit
can be evaluated over time to determine if costs are out of control for either direct materials
or conversion costs. For example, if material costs are rising per equivalent unit over time,
management could investigate if suppliers are charging more or if the production process is
creating more scrap and waste and needs to be adjusted.
