2026 ASSESSMENT PAPER SOLVED
QUESTIONS AND REVISION NOTES
MASTER SET
◉ Equivalent Units of Conversion
Answer: 200 units that are 50% complete for conversion = 100
equivalent units of conversion.
◉ Five-Step Process-Costing Allocation
Answer: Step 1: Summarize the flow of physical units. Step 2:
Compute equivalent units. Step 3: Summarize total costs to account
for. Step 4: Compute cost per equivalent unit. Step 5: Assign total
costs to completed units and ending WIP.
◉ Weighted-Average Method
Answer: Combines beginning WIP costs with current period costs.
Calculates a single average cost per equivalent unit.
◉ FIFO Method
, Answer: Keeps beginning WIP costs separate from current period
costs. Calculates cost per equivalent unit for CURRENT period work
only.
◉ Transferred-In Costs
Answer: When a product moves through multiple sequential
processes, the costs from the prior department are called
transferred-in costs.
◉ Cost Estimation
Answer: The process of determining the likely level of cost at a given
level of activity.
◉ Cost Behavior Recap
Answer: Variable Costs: Same per unit; total changes proportionally
with activity. Fixed Costs: Constant in total; per unit cost changes
inversely with activity.
◉ Mixed Costs
Answer: Have both fixed and variable components. Must be split to
use in decision models.
◉ Total Costs Equation
