Process Costing
QUESTIONS
1. The main deciding factor in choosing between a job order costing system or a
process costing system is the type of product or service. Examples where a
3. Yes, services can be delivered by processes. For example, Federal Express delivers
4. The journal entries to match cost flows with product flows are primarily the same
for both process costing and job order costing. In process costing, the materials
6. The computation of equivalent units of production focuses on converting partially
completed units to a measure in terms of completed units. We need to use EUP
7. The two main methods of process costing are the weighted-average and the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) methods. The weighted-average method considers “average flow”
8. A process cost accounting system treats labor that is used entirely within one
9. Direct labor costs flow to the Work in Process Inventory account. Then the direct
10. At the end of the accounting period the Factory Overhead account should have a
11. Yes, it is possible to have either underapplied or overapplied overhead in a process
12. Equivalent units for direct materials differ from that for direct labor (and overhead) if
direct materials and direct labor (and overhead) are added at different stages in the
13. The four steps in accounting for production activity (for process operations) are: 1)
14. The process cost summary serves at least three purposes: (a) to help department
managers control their departments; (b) to help factory managers evaluate
15. Yes. Google might use process costing to determine the cost of manufacturing its
16. Likely processing steps for digital televisions include making the frame and
17. General Mills, like most food processors, faces risks due to water scarcity and
climate change that could disrupt its supply and lower profits. The company also
