Ask the Tutor ACCA MA
process costing using average costing method
Please do not simply set me a question to answer - you must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question :-)
You should watch the free lectures on process costing.
If you then still have a problem then ask about which bit of the answer is giving you the problem.
(Incidentally, you cannot be asked to prepare a process account in Paper F2. You will be asked to either calculate the value of the completed units, or to calculate the value of the closing work-in-progress.)
Have you watched the lecture?
The equivalent units for materials is 1200 (200 WIP b/f + 1000 added; 900 complete + 300 WIP c/f)
So the cost of materials is 120,000 / 12,000 = $10 per unit.
The equivalent units for labour is 900 + (60% x 300) = 1080
So the labour cost per unit = 66960 / 1080 = $62 per unit
The equivalent units for overheads is 900 + (50% x 300) = 1050
So the overhead cost per unit = 42,000 / 1050 = $40 per unit.
Giving a full cost per unit of $112 per unit
The value of the completed units, is therefore 900 x $112
For the WIP, you value the materials, labour and overhead elements separately and then add them up. If the overheads (for example) are 50% finished, then you value the overhead element at 50% of unit cost.
You really must watch the lecture - I cannot simply type out the lecture here.
You are welcome :-)
