Chapter 4, process costing and hybrid product-costing systems. After completing this chapter, you should be able to: List and explain the similarities and important differences between job-order and process costing, prepare journal entries to record the flow of costs in a process-costing system with sequential production departments, prepare a table of equivalent units under weighted-average process costing,. | Process Costing and Hybrid Product-Costing Systems Chapter 4 Copyright © 2014 McGraw-Hill Education.

Chapter 4: Process Costing and Hybrid Product-Costing Systems Comparison of Job-Order Costing and Process Costing Job-order costing Costs accumulated by the job. Work in process has a job-cost sheet for each job. Many unique, high cost jobs. Jobs built to customer order. Process costing Costs accumulated by department or process. Work in process has a production report for each batch of products. A few identical, low cost products. Units continuously produced for inventory in automated process. 4- In many ways, job-order costing and process costing are similar. Both product-costing systems have the same ultimate purpose—assignment of production costs to units of output. Moreover, the flow of costs through the manufacturing accounts is the same in the two systems. | Process Costing and Hybrid Product-Costing Systems Chapter 4 Copyright © 2014 McGraw-Hill Education.

(LO1) Process Cost Flows 4- In a single production department situation, direct-material, direct-labor, and manufacturing-overhead costs are added to a Work-in-Process Inventory account. As goods are finished, costs are transferred to Finished-Goods Inventory. During the period when goods are sold, the product costs are transferred to Cost of Goods Sold. (LO2) Process Cost Flows 4- In the two-department case, when goods are finished in the first production department, costs accumulated in the Work-in-Process Inventory account for production department A are transferred to the Work-in-Process Inventory account for production department B. (LO2) Equivalent Units: A Key Concept Costs are accumulated for a period of time for products in work-in-process inventory. Products in work-in-process inventory at the beginning and end of the period are only partially complete. Equivalent units is a concept expressing these partially completed products as a smaller number of fully .
