Weighted Average Method of Process Costing

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » Weighted Average Method of Process Costing

The Weighted Average Method of Process Costing is a cost accounting technique used to assign costs to units of production by averaging the costs of beginning inventory and current period production. This method simplifies cost calculations by blending costs from different periods, providing a uniform cost per unit. It is particularly useful in industries with continuous production processes. Weighted average process costing ensures consistent cost allocation across production cycles.
