PROCESS COSTING HANDY NOTES: Process Costing Steps: Summarize total physical units and cost Compute EU and Cost per EU Account for cost of units completed and cost of

ending inventory The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed up in these two—common sense and perseverance. -- Owen Feltham (c. 1602—1668), Writer A professional is someone who can do his best work when he doesn’t feel like it. -- Alistair Cooke (1908-2004), Journalist Truth is often eclipsed but never extinguished. -- Livy (59 B.C. – 17 A.D.), Historian

question: what is it? On what types of products would you generally use Process Costing? What is an EU? How do you calculate EU using the weighted-average method? In what t-account do you calculate EU? What is sequential processing? What is parallel processing? What steps are performed when calculating process costs? Good has two meanings: It means that which is good absolutely and that which is good for somebody. -- Aristotle (384—322 B.C), Philosopher
