Characteristics:
● The work in process beginning in the department will require a separate computation for
equivalent production.
● The units started, completed and transferred will have its own computation for equivalent
production
2. Weighted Average Method – Under this method, there is no assumed flow of manufacturing
operations. (to be further discussed after FIFO)
⮚ METHODS OF APPLICATION
1. Even Application – Under this method, it is considered that at any stage of during the process of
production, the introduction of the three elements of cost are equal with one another. Only one
computation of equivalent production should be made.
2. Uneven Application – Under this method, the introduction of the elements of cost to production
varies at any stage of the process, hence, there should be as many computations of equivalent
production as the elements of cost that are unevenly applied.

EQUIVALENT UNITS OF PRODUCTION – FIFO METHOD
Under Process Costing, the volume of work done is measured in terms of equivalent units
of production (EUP).
