Compared to bo ob or: process costing, backflush costing is notable for its lack of detailed tracking of the work-in-process account. Its keynote is simplicity because it eliminates some of the accounting stages in the traditional costing which combines then with other steps. It also tends to combine general ledger accounts. This od records purchases of raw materials and accumulates actual costs. Differences Between Traditional Costing and Backflush Costing JIT costing differs from traditional costing regard to the accounts used and the timing of cost recording. Specifically, three major differences exist. tead of “Process, separate accounts for Raw Materials and combines these into @ Raw and ount. The rationale 1s that the amount Process Inventory (RIP) ac work-in-process at any particular t 11 be low. 2. The second difference is that since direct labor 1s usually setting, no separate aie es, a Conversion cost item in a JIT SIT costing is created. In other will be maintained to record actua overheads 3. The third difference relates to the application of facto in a traditional manufacturing environment, overhead products as they are being produced. As such, ove applied to products until they are completed. Mo work in-process account exists to accumulate conversion costs. when pro iGnpicted under the JIT costing, conversion cost is applied to the Cost of Goods Sold (or in some cases, Finished Goods account.)

AFAR-16ADVANCED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING & REPORTING page 5 Hybrid Costing / Blended Method — Operation Costing Operation costing is a.hybrid system because it contains features that are Present in both a job-costing system and a process-costing system. Direct moteriais are assigned directly to the batches of goods produced (ob order costing); in contrast, conversion costs are accumulated by department (proces: certing) and are then assigned to manufactured goods by using an averagig technique. Operation costing is used by firms that produce different models of similar products. The products go through essentially the same manufacturing Process, so conversion costs can be assigned in a manner similar to that used in process-costing systems. Materials, on the other hand, are unique to the individusl goods being produced and, accordingly, the cost is assigned by batch (or in a manner similar to that used in job costing). VIII - Hybrid Costing (Combination of Job Order - Materials and Process Costing - Conversion Coste) or Operation Coating Orville Knitters manufactures sweaters and uses an operation-costing system. All sweaters are processed through Department No. 1, with subsequent Processing taking place in Department No. 2 or Department No. 3 depending on the type of fabric used. Twenty thousand sweaters were produced during the year; there was no beginning or ending work in process. Sixty percent of the goods were sent to Department No. 2 for manufacturing. ion cost incurred in the three departments totaled 504,000, subdivided as follows: Department No 360,000; Department No. 2, P60,000; and Department No. 3, P4,000 Data pertaining to two representative orders, Nos. $45 and 567, were: No. 545 No. 567 Direct materials 112,000 P 94,000 Number of sweaters 800 1,300 Subsequent processing department No. 3 No. 2 Required: Determine the cost of order Nos. 545 and 567. IX ~ Hybrid - Operation Costing Levitt Corporation, which uses an operation-costing system, has three processing departments. All units pass through Department No. 1; upon Completion, 702 of the goods are sent to Department No. 2 and 30% are sent to Department No. 3, Additional data follow: Forty thousand units were manufactured during the year. Conversion cost in each department was: No. 1, P380,000; no. 2, 196,000; and no. 3, P150,000 © Batch No. 67, which consisted of $00 units, was sent to Dep: No. 3 for its additional processing. Direct materials of 23,500 and P11,900 were introduced to this batch in Department Nos. 1 and 3, respectively. Levitt assigns conversion cost to goods manufactured on the basis of units produced. A.
