COSTING
1.- Summarize the physical flow of the units to produce
2.- Calculate production in terms of equivalent units
3.- Calculate equivalent unit costs
4.- Summarize total costs to account for
5.- Assign total costs to the units already completed and to units in
ending work in process inventory (WIP).
