Modern Costing Techniques

Question 1

Backflush costing

Answer 1

A product costing system generally used in a just-in-time inventory environment.
Backflush costing delays the costing process until the production of goods is completed.
Costs are then “flushed” back at the end of the production run and assigned to the goods.
This eliminates the detailed tracking of costs throughout the production process, which is a feature of traditional costing systems.
