Solution

The correct answer is A) by dividing total costs in a given accounting period by total units produced in that period.

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Identify the total costs incurred during a specific accounting period. This includes all costs associated with production such as raw materials, labor, and overhead costs.

  2. Identify the total number of units produced during the same accounting period.

  3. Divide the total costs by the total units produced. This will give you the average unit cost.

This method ensures that the costs are spread evenly across all units produced, regardless of when in the accounting period they were produced.

What are the major characteristics of process costing system? The main characteristics of processcosting system may be summarized as follows:1. A cost of production report is used to collect, summarize and compute total and unit costs.2. Production is accumulated and reported by departments.3. Costs are posted to departmental work in process accounts.4. Production in process at the end of a period is restated in terms of completed units.5. Total cost charged to a department is divided by total computed production of thedepartment in order to determine a unit cost for a specific period.6. Costs of completed units of a department are transferred to the next processingdepartment in order to arrive at the total costs of the finished products during a period.
