The Early Pearly Company makes product for lovers only in two departments: Forming and Scenting. Forming began the month with 500 products for lovers only in process that were 100% complete as to material and 40% complete as to conversion. During the month, 6,500 products only for lovers were started. At month end, Forming had 2,100 products for lovers only that were still in process that were 100% complete as to material and 50% complete as to conversion. Assume Forming uses the weighted average method of process costing. Costs in the Forming Department are as follows:
Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
ABC Costing
Cost Accounting is a form of managerial accounting that helps the company in assessing the total variable cost so as to compute the cost of production. Cost accounting is generally used by the management so as to ensure better decision-making. In comparison to financial accounting, cost accounting has to follow a set standard ad can be used flexibly by the management as per their needs. The types of Cost Accounting include – Lean Accounting, Standard Costing, Marginal Costing and Activity Based Costing.

Beginning Work in process costs:
Material P1,000
Conversion 1,500
Current Costs:
Material P3,200
Conversion 5,045
The Scenting Department had 600 products for lovers only in process at the beginning of the month that were 80% complete as to material but 10% incomplete as to conversion. The department had 300 units in ending Work in Process that were 50% complete as to material but 25% incomplete as to conversion. Scenting uses the FIFO Method of process costing, and costs associated with Scenting are:
Beginning WIP Inventory:
Transferred In P1,170
Material 4,320
Conversion 6, 210
Current Period:
Transferred In ?
Material P 67,745
Conversion 95,820
