details all operating and cost information, shows the computation
of cost per equivalent unit, and indicates cost assignment
to goods produced during the period

Coupon equivalent yield

True interest cost expressed on the basis of a 365-day year.

economic production run (EPR)

an estimate of the number
of units to produce at one time that minimizes the total
costs of setting up production runs and carrying inventory

Production-flow commitment

Production payment financing

A method of nonrecourse asset-based financing in which a specified

total units to account for

the sum of the beginning inventory
units and units started during the current period

UNITS OF PRODUCTION

A depreciation method that relates a machine’s depreciation to the number of units it makes each
accounting period. The method requires that someone record the machine’s output each year.
