Transferred-in cost definition
/What is Transferred-In Cost?
Transferred-in cost is the cost that a product accumulates during its tenure in upstream work centers. Thus, it is the accumulated cost of a product when it first arrives in a downstream work center. The transferred-in cost is then treated as the starting cost of the receiving work center, to which additional costs may be added by that work center.
This concept is used in a process costing system.
