Explanation: Processing cost is applied when nearly identical units are mass produced.

54) An error was made in the computation of the stage of completion of the current year's ending work in process inventory. The error resulted in assigning a lower stage of completion to each component of the inventory than actually was the case. What is the resultant effect of this error upon:

Solution: understate; overstate; overstate

Explanation: computation of equivalent units is likely to be understated; thus as a result the computation of costs per equivalent unit is likely to be overstated; and the costs assigned to cost of goods completed for the period will be overstated too
