    This was explained far better than the person that's supposed to be my professor. In a few minutes you explained what took him well over an hour to do and you conveyed these concepts far better. This was very helpful. Thank you for posting this.

    I dislike only one thing about your videos. It looks so clear and simple.
    Later I'm going to my exercises and it's chaos again.

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  Před 8 lety +45

      Sorry about that! I hope one day to publish a book of exercises that can be understood more clearly than the stuff that is found in the typical textbook.

    Hey edspira, I am just wondering -- when calculating equivalent units of production for weighted average, do you add beginning work in process? I keep hearing conflicting things from both my professor and textbook, so I am thoroughly confused now lol.

    Hi @Edspira. What if we have abnormal gain? How do we proceed with the balancing of the physical units and equivalent units? Thanks.

  • @alexandra_m1146
    @alexandra_m1146 Před 4 lety +1

    Im not sure youll even answer but what happens if you dont have the started units for materials and conversion? I only have the begging WiP and the ending Wip and therefore cannot calculate the total cots and devide it with the equivalent units to get equivalent units per unit.

    what if there is no percent? am I going to assume its 50%? transferred out is 2200 and work in process is 800 so total units is 3000 but how do I obtain equivilant units conversion unit.

    Love your videos, only wish I had found a couple semesters ago. :) I do have a question, what is the name of the program that you use for making these? It's so much better than watching someone stand in front of a white board.

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  Před 6 lety +1

      I don't have a video on this yet, and unfortunately I don't have the time to make more videos until this summer. On my website I have more videos on process costing that may get you the full picture that you're looking for. (All the videos are free, and you don't have to sign-in to view the videos) www.edspira.com/lessons/process-costing I'm thrilled to hear that you are passing your class! Keep up the hard work :)

  • @JoshKrier
    @JoshKrier Před 9 lety +5

    My friend, may I ask what program your using to display these written videos? I recently purchased a ModBook Pro with digital pen technology ingrained in the software and Im trying to figure out how you are able to write of a black screen with all these different colors. I have Dyslexia, so having a black screen and different color text helps me learn things faster than ever before!

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  Před 9 lety +7

      Josh Krier Hello, I use a Wacom Bamboo writing tablet, Camtasia screenrecording software, and SmoothDraw. In SmoothDraw you can paint the screen black and choose different pen colors. SmoothDraw is a free app that can be downloaded online. Camtasia is not free and has to be purchased, and its function is to record what I'm writing in SmoothDraw so I can upload it to CZcams. I hope this helps! Best wishes :)

  • @su0744

    Some one plx explain this in detail...i have paper on next monday..
    11.11 A company uses process costing to establish the cost per unit of its output.
    The following information was available for the last month:
    Input units 10,000
    Output units 9,850
    Opening inventory 300 units, 100% complete for materials and
    70% complete for conversion costs
    Closing inventory 450 units, 100% complete for materials and
    30% complete for conversion costs
    The company uses the weighted average method of valuing inventory.
    What were the equivalent units for conversion costs?

  • @stevefreeman5452
    @stevefreeman5452 Před 5 lety

    You lost me at 4:47; can't see where the 50% hit on DM comes from. Well maybe not. Given 25% consumption of DL and MOH and a given total EndWip value; the $$ transferred out * DL%complete = X1; and $$ transferred out * MOH%complete = X2; then value for DM=X3=$$ transferred out - (X1+X2). So the $$ for X3 is a force number based on the values for X1 and X2. At least that's how I did it. ...So when the boss walks up and says "what's our cost per unit so far?" we tell him we have $9.02 for each unit total; which is sum of DM+DL+MOH = 3.96+1.69+3.37=$9.02
