3. Job order costing
Process costing
Cost Systems
• There are two basic systems used by
manufacturers to assign costs to their
products:
4. Chopping Mixing and Canning
Process Costing Example
• Laxmi Foods Company produces a garlic
flavored tomato sauce.
• Production of the sauce requires two major
processes:
5. $20,000 ÷ 100,000 = $0.20/pint
Process Costing Example
• Assume that Laxmi incurred $20,000 in
the Mixing and Canning process to mix
100,000 pints of tomato sauce.
• What is the Mixing and Canning cost per
pint?
6. Job Costing
• It is used by a manufacturer who produces
products as individual units or in distinct
batches or jobs.
7. Job Costing Example
• Ram, Sham, and Co. is a small furniture
manufacturing business in Texas.
• They received an order for 10 chairs from
a customer in Kansas City.
8. $500 ÷ 10 = $50/chair
Job Costing Example
• Total cost for the job was $500.
• How much was the cost per chair?
9. Job Costing
• Job cost record is a document used to
accumulate the costs of a job.

118 machine hours @ $40 per hour $ 4,720
269 direct labor hours @ 36 per hour 9,684
Total overhead cost: $14,404
Job Cost Record Example
16. Materials Cost
• Companies using job costing often use a
perpetual system to account for direct
materials.
• A materials requisition is used to request
transfer of materials to the production
floor.
17. Materials Cost Example
• Alec Clothing Co. purchased raw materials
on account for $15,000.
• Materials costing $10,000 were
requisitioned for production.
• Of this total, $2,000 was indirect materials.
19. Labor Costs
• Labor costs are accumulated using the
payroll register and time records.
• Labor time records identify the employee,
the amount of time spent, and the cost
charged to each job.
20. Labor Cost Example
• The company incurred $30,000 of
manufacturing wages for all jobs.
• Assume that $25,000 can be traced directly
to the jobs and $5,000 is for indirect labor.
23. Manufacturing Overhead
(Deprec.-Plant and Equipment) 20,000
Accumulated Depreciation
(Plant and Equipment) 20,000
To record plant and equipment depreciation
Manufacturing Overhead Costs
• The company incurred $20,000 of plant
equipment depreciation.
24. Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated base = Rate
Manufacturing Overhead Rate
• At the beginning of the year, a
predetermined manufacturing overhead
application rate is computed.
• This rate is used to apply overhead to all
jobs completed during the year.
25. Six Steps in Allocating
Manufacturing Overhead Cost
1 Estimate total overhead for the period.
2 Select an overhead allocation base.
3 Estimate total quantity of the overhead
allocation base.
4 Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
26. Six Steps in Allocating
Manufacturing Overhead Cost
5 Obtain actual quantities of the overhead
allocation base.
6 Allocate manufacturing overhead by
multiplying the predetermined
manufacturing overhead rate by the actual
quantity of the allocation base that pertains
to each job.
27. $243,000 ÷ 4,500 = $54
Manufacturing Overhead
Example
• Alec Clothing Co.’s total estimated
overhead for the year equals $243,000.
• The predetermined overhead rate is based
on 4,500 direct labor hours.
• What is the predetermined overhead rate?
28. Work-in-Process Inventory 10,800
Manufacturing Overhead 10,800
To record overhead applied to Job 51
Manufacturing Overhead
Example
• Assume that Job 51 used 200 direct labor
hours.
• What is the journal entry to record the
manufacturing overhead applied?
29. Account for Completion and
Sales of Finished Goods, and
Adjust for Under-or-
Overapplied Manufacturing
Overhead
Objective 4
30. Accounting for Finished Goods,
Sales, and Cost of Goods Sold
• As jobs are completed they are transferred
to finished goods inventory.
• In addition to the overhead applied to Job
51, direct labor was $4,000 and direct
materials totaled $30,000.
• How much was transferred to Finished
Goods Inventory?

34. Disposing of Underallocated or
Overallocated Overhead
• Suppose that the company incurred
$232,000 of actual manufacturing
overhead during the year, and that actual
direct labor hours worked were 4,000.
• The actual manufacturing overhead rate
would have been $232,000 ÷ 4,000 = $58.
• The predetermined rate was $54.
35. Disposing of Underallocated or
Overallocated Overhead
• How much overhead was allocated to the
various jobs?
• 4,000 direct labor hours × $54 = $216,000
• What is the underallocated amount?
• $232,000 actual – $216,000 allocated
= $16,000
37. Disposing Overallocated
Overhead to Cost of Goods Sold
• Assume the opposite situation in which allocated
overhead is $232,000 and actual overhead is
$216,000.
• How do we dispose of overallocated overhead?
• Debit the Manufacturing Overhead account and
credit the Cost of Goods Sold account to decrease
the costs that went to the income statement.
40. Job Costing in a
Nonmanufacturing Company
• How is direct labor traced to individual
jobs in a nonmanufacturing company?
• Employees complete a weekly time record.
• Jim, Abby, and Associates is a firm
specializing in composing and arranging
music parts for different clients.
• Musician Judy Lopez’s salary is $80,000
per year.
41. 80,000 ÷ 2,000 = $40
Job Costing in a
Nonmanufacturing Company
• Assuming a 40-hour workweek and 50
workweeks in each year gives a total of
2,000 available working hours per year
(40 hours × 50 weeks).
• What is her hourly rate?
42. Advertising $ 15,000
Depreciation 6,000
Maintenance 12,000
Office rent 60,000
Office support 47,000
Travel 20,000
Total indirect costs $160,000
Job Costing in a
Nonmanufacturing Company
• Jim and Abby estimated the indirect costs
that will be incurred in 2006.
43. 160,000 ÷ 8,000 = $20
Job Costing in a
Nonmanufacturing Company
• Assume that they estimate that the
musicians will work 8,000 direct labor
hours in 2006.
• What is the predetermined indirect cost
rate?
44. Direct Labor: 25 hours × $40 = $1,000
Indirect costs: 25 hours × $20 = 500
Total costs: $1,500
Job Costing in a
Nonmanufacturing Company
• Records show that Judy Lopez worked 25
hours servicing Los Abuelos Music Co.
• What is the total cost assigned to this
client?
