Deck 8: Process Costing
1
In the weighted-average approach,the number of physical units transferred out cannot be greater than the equivalent number of units produced during the period.EUP = transferred out + % completed × ending inventory.The number transferred can equal EUP,but can never be greater.
True
2
The degree of completion associated with prior department costs is always 100%.It is the same as a material added at the start of the process.All the effort is there.
True
3
First-in,first-out (FIFO)process costing transfers out the costs in beginning inventory before transferring out the costs associated with units started and completed.This is a basic concept of FIFO.
True
4
Operation costing is used in manufacturing goods that have some common characteristics and some individual characteristics.The common characteristics are normally conversion costs;individual characteristics are the materials.

The more prices change,the greater the difference between the costs assigned to units transferred out using weighted-average costing and the costs assigned to units transferred out using first-in,first-out (FIFO).Weighted-average combines several periods' costs,so the larger the change,the greater the difference.

In general,the ending Work-in-Process Inventory value computed using first-in,first-out (FIFO)will be the same as the ending value computed using weighted-average process costing.The two approaches will have different unit costs,so the costs assigned to ending WIP will differ.

If the beginning Work-in-Process inventory is zero,first-in,first-out (FIFO)and weighted-average process costing will assign the same amount to the units transferred out.It is the beginning WIP costs that creates differences between weighted-average and FIFO.If there is no beginning WIP,there will be no difference.

In general,weighted-average costing is simpler to use while first-in,first-out (FIFO)costing provides greater decision-making benefits to managers.Weighted-average is simpler since there is less attention paid to when units are completed.FIFO does a better job for cost control since it identifies the period better.
