Required information LO 04-01: Record the flow of materials, labor, and overhead through a process costing system We describe the flow of costs in a process costing system and prepare appropriate journal entries to record costs. A process costing system accumulates costs by department and assigns these costs uniformly to all units that pass through the department during a period. We also introduce the concept of equivalent units of production. Equivalent units is computed as the product of the number of partially completed units and the percentage completion of those units with respect to the processing in the department. We also learn about operation costing, a hybrid system, and understand how it differs from both job-order and process costing.
