Document Summary

In the last chapter, we discussed costs and how they are categorized by businesses. In this chapter, we will explore specific product costing systems used by manufacturers. Product costing systems are used to ultimately determine the cost of producing one unit of a company"s product. This information is useful because it enables managers to do such things as set prices, cut costs to remain competitive, and determine which product is the most profitable to produce and sell. Manufacturers who produce unique, customizable products in small batches use job. The initial cost object used in this operating environment is a job. It is possible for a job to consist of multiple units of product. However, the ultimate cost object is a unit of product. Here are a few examples: boeing, an accounting firm, and a custom homebuilder. Notice that one of the examples is a service company.

Process Cost Accounting & Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis

This module focuses on measuring costs in process production companies. We explain process production, describe how to assign costs to processes, and compute and analyze cost per equivalent unit. Discuss two of the three topics:

What is meant by equivalent units of production, and why are they important when a process costing system is used?

What are the four steps in accounting for production activity in a period?

Job order costing and process costing are two major costing systems used in manufacturing. Briefly contrast the characteristics of these two systems.
