CHAPTER 17 (FIN MAN); CHAPTER 2 (MAN)

JOB ORDER COSTING

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. a. Job order cost system and process cost system.

b. The job order cost system provides a separate record of each quantity of product that passes through the factory.

c. Process cost systems accumulate costs for each department or process within a factory.

2. Job order costing is used by firms that sell custom goods and services to customers. The job order system is frequently associat-ed with firms that will produce a product or service specifically to a customer order.

3. Materials should not be issued by the store-keeper without a properly authorized materi-als requisition. Both the storekeeper and the recipient of the materials should initial the materials requisition when the materials are issued to indicate release of the proper amount of materials from the storeroom.

4. a. Purchase invoice or receiving report

b. Materials requisition

5. A job cost sheet is the subsidiary ledger to the work in process control account. The cost of materials, labor, and overhead are listed on the job cost sheet for each job. A summary of all the job cost sheets during an accounting period is the basis for journal en-tries to the control accounts.

6. a. The clock card is a means of recording the hours spent by employees in the fac-tory. The time ticket is a means of re-cording the time the employee spends on a specific job or, in cases of indirect labor (factory overhead), the department in which the time was spent.

b. The total time reported on an employee’s time tickets for a payroll period is com-pared with the time reported on the em-ployee’s clock cards as an internal check on the accuracy of payroll disbursements.

7. The use of a predetermined factory over-head rate in job order cost accounting assists management in pricing jobs. By

estimating the cost of direct materials and direct labor based on past experience and by applying the factory overhead rate, the cost of a job can be estimated. The pre- determined rate also permits the determina-tion of the cost of a job shortly after it is fin-ished, which enables management to adjust future pricing policies to achieve the best combination of revenue and expense.

8. a. The predetermined factory overhead rate is determined by dividing the bud-geted factory overhead for the forth-coming year by an estimated activity base, one that will equitably apply the factory overhead costs to the goods manufactured.

b. Direct labor cost, direct labor hours, and machine hours.

9. a. (1) If the amount of factory overhead applied is greater than the actual factory overhead, factory overhead is overapplied.

(2) If the amount of actual factory over-head is greater than the amount applied, factory overhead is under-applied.

b. Underapplied

c. Deferred credit

10. Job order cost accumulation would be most appropriate for professional service firms that provide extended, project-type services for clients. Examples would be architectural, consulting, advertising, or legal services. Job cost sheets would accumulate all direct costs of servicing the client. Such costs would include labor, materials, travel, and subcontracted services. In addition, over-head would be applied using a predeter-mined overhead rate. The costs accumulat-ed by the job cost sheet would be treated as work in process (a current asset) until the service is completed. Once completed, the cost would be transferred to the cost of services on the income statement.

The estimated activity base is determined by dividing the shop direct labor cost

by the direct labor rate, as follows:

hour per $20

$520,000 = 26,000 hours

The predetermined shop overhead rate is:

hours 26,000

$169,000 = $6.50 per direct labor hour

As can be seen, the unit costs behave differently for each product. SL500 has

increasing unit costs during the year, M-Z4 is steady, and XKR1 has decreas-

ing unit costs during the year.

b. Management should want to determine why SL500 costs are increasing and

why XKR1 costs are decreasing. This information can be determined from the

job cost sheets for each job. By comparing the cost sheets from job to job

(for a particular product), management can isolate the cause of the cost

changes. The cost sheets will show how materials, labor, and overhead are

consumed across the production process for each job. This information can

isolate the problem or opportunity areas.

Ex. 17–16 (FIN MAN); Ex. 2–16 (MAN)

a. The first item to note is that the cost did not go up due to any increases in the

cost of labor or materials. Rather, the cost of the plaques increased because

Job 105 used more labor and materials per unit than did Job 101. Specifically,

Job 101 required exactly the same number of backboards and brass plates as

the number of actual plaques shipped. However, Job 105 required six more

backboards and brass plates than the number actually shipped (36 vs. 30). In

addition, the labor hours for Job 101 were as follows:

Engraving: (66 units × 30 min. per unit)/60 min. = 33 hours

Assembly: (66 units × 25 min. per unit)/60 min. = 27.5 hours

These are the labor hours to be expected for 66 plaques. However, the labor

hours expected for Job 105 were:

Engraving: (30 units × 30 min. per unit)/60 min. = 15 hours

Assembly: (30 units × 25 min. per unit)/60 min. = 12.5 hours

Job 105’s 33 labor hours are 5.5 more (33 hrs. – 27.5 hrs.) than should have

been expected for a job of 30 plaques [(30 × 55 min.)/60 min. = 27.5 hrs.]. As a

result, the additional hours of labor cost, applied factory overhead, and direct

materials cost cause the unit cost of Job 105 to increase.

b. Apparently, the engraving and assembly work is becoming sloppy. Job 105

required 36 engraved brass plates in order to get 30 with acceptable quality. It

is likely that the engraver is not being careful in correctly spelling the names.

The names should be supplied to the engraver using large typewritten fonts

so that it is easy to read the names. The engraver should be instructed to be

careful in engraving the names. The assembly operation also needs some

improvement. It took 36 assembly operations to properly assemble 30

plaques. It may be that the plates are assembled off-register (crooked) to the

backboard. This could be improved by using a fixture to properly align the

plate to the backboard. Alternatively, it’s possible misengraved plaques were

assembled to backboards and needed to be disassembled, reengraved, and

reassembled to new backboards.

Comments:

The direct materials cost exceeded the estimate by $60 because 5 meters of ma-

terials were spoiled. The direct labor cost exceeded the estimate by $31.50 be-

cause an additional 3 hours of labor were used by an inexperienced employee

that worked for $0.50/hr. less.

CASES & PROJECTS

CP 17–1 (FIN MAN); CP 2–1 (MAN)

Two or three trends seem apparent. Starting with the most obvious:

a. There appears to be a strong ―Friday effect.‖ The unit cost on Friday increas-

es dramatically, then falls on Monday. Apparently, the workforce is preparing

early for the weekend.

b. There also appears to be a general increasing trend in the unit cost. Every

Friday effect is larger than the previous Friday. Much the same can be said

about the other days of the week.

c. It’s hard to tell, but there may also be a ―within week‖ trend. The unit cost ap-

pears to increase gradually from Monday through Thursday, before jumping

on Friday. At the very least, Mondays are the best operating days, while Fri-

days are the worst.

A number of further pieces of information should be requested.

a. First, it would be good to verify these trends with some other products. This

trend is probably not product-related but related generally to the day of the

week. This would mean that the trend should be apparent in the other prod-

ucts.

b. The data should be sorted by shift and by employee. It’s possible that the ef-

fect is stronger on one shift than on another or that just a few employees are

responsible for the effect. It may not be prevalent in the general population of

workers.

c. The Friday–Monday phenomenon is likely related to the workforce, but the

same cannot be said about the larger increasing trend over the four weeks. It

could be caused by any number of factors. A good first look would be to iso-

late materials costs to see if these are contributors. How much of the effect is

labor and how much is material should be verified. It’s possible that the gen-

eral increase in cost over time is the result of loss of machine tolerances.

Thus, more and more material is being required to produce a unit of product.

d. Has there been any significant change in supervisors or crucial employees

that may explain this effect?

e. Have prices increased gradually for the raw materials?

CP 17–2 (FIN MAN); CP 2–2 (MAN)

1. The unit costs are influenced by both the price and quantity of inputs. On the

price side, the cost of steel has dropped from $800 to $780 per ton. This is

apparently the result of the purchasing manager’s decision to reduce the cost

of raw materials by going to a new vendor. No other input prices change.

Some of the input quantities changed for the worse. Specifically:

Job 206 Job 228

Steel input per unit of product ........................... 1.75 tons1 2.50 tons

2

Foundry labor per unit of product ..................... 6.75 hours3 10.00 hours

4

Welding labor per unit of product ...................... 9.25 hours5 14.00 hours

6

170 tons/40 units

2150 tons/60 units

3270 hours/40 units

4600 hours/60 units

5370 hours/40 units

6840 hours/60 units

These numbers were determined by dividing the number of units produced by

the total input quantities to discover the inputs per unit. The inputs for the

components and shipping labor were unchanged between the two jobs.

2. A possible reason for this deterioration in performance is related to the pur-

chasing manager’s decision to change vendors in order to secure a lower

price per ton. The new vendor is apparently delivering a lower-quality steel

product to the company. As a result, the foundry operation is having to spend

more time forming the steel parts. Moreover, the increased steel tons per unit

is likely to be caused by scrapping some of the formed parts. The scrapped

parts would need to be replaced by additional steel inputs, which would have

the effect of increasing the number of tons required to make a unit of product.

The welding operators are also apparently having difficulty welding the lower-

quality steel parts. As a result, longer welding time is required to assemble a

completed unit.

Overall, management has learned that the drive for lower raw materials prices

was a poor decision. The overall net result was higher costs from the addi-

tional waste caused by lower-quality steel.

CP 17–3 (FIN MAN); CP 2–3 (MAN)

1. The engineer is concerned that direct labor is not related to overhead con-

sumption because direct labor is a small part of the cost structure. Apparent-

ly, the company has replaced labor with expensive machine technology and

support. This, of course, represents more factory overhead. Just because the

direct labor is ―designed out‖ of the product will not mean that this overhead

will magically disappear. More likely, the direct labor hours will be replaced

by machine-related factory overhead. Thus, the factory overhead goes up

while the activity base (direct labor) goes down. Hence, the factory overhead

rate will go up.

2. Since each direct labor hour now has $2,000 of factory overhead, small

mistakes in the direct labor time estimates can have a large impact on the

estimated cost of a product. This is very critical since the company sets sell-

ing price by adding a profit to unit cost. If the company underestimates the

direct labor content by a small amount, it will underestimate unit cost causing

the company to underbid and win the job. Unfortunately, the job will turn out

to have less profitability than expected because the price is smaller than it

should be. If the company overestimates the labor time, it will overbid the job.

Thus, it will lose out to competitors who bid more accurately. This puts the

company into a lose-lose situation when such small labor time errors have

such large dollar impacts on the final cost estimate.

3. The engineer’s concern is valid. The company should consider replacing its

direct labor time activity base with one that more accurately reflects its pre-

sent resources. If the company is now highly automated, then machine hours

may be a much more reasonable activity base.

CP 17–4 (FIN MAN); CP 2–4 (MAN)

1. Sven should record the debits for factory wages as a debit to Work in Pro-

cess. The factory wages are product costs that must be accumulated in the

cost of producing the product. Eventually, these wage costs will become part

of finished goods inventory and cost of goods sold when the gift items are

sold. Likewise, the depreciation should be recorded as a debit to Factory

Overhead. The overhead is then applied to production work in process. Like

the wages, the depreciation will also eventually become part of the finished

goods inventory and cost of goods sold when the gift items are sold. Thus,

both the wages and depreciation will end up on the income statement as cost

of goods sold, not as individual expenses. The reason is because the ac-

countant wants to match revenues and costs. Costs that are accumulated in

the manufacture of products do not become expenses until the items are

sold. Until that time, the costs are capitalized as inventory. If these costs were

expensed immediately, the income for the firm would be understated for the

period to the extent that there were any increases in the work in process or

finished goods inventories.

2. Boris would not be concerned about immediately expensing administrative

wages and depreciation because the benefits received from these costs are

not product costs. Instead, these costs benefit a period of time. Thus, these

costs should be expensed for the period.

CP 17–5 (FIN MAN); CP 2–5 (MAN) (Concluded)

3. The best predetermined overhead rate is machine hours. Although the total

overhead applied for each rate developed in part (1) is the same over the en-

tire five-year period (as a result of the method by which the predetermined

overhead rates were developed), the predetermined overhead rate based on

machine hours yields the least fluctuations in the amounts of over- or un-

derapplied overhead considered on a year-by-year basis. With the rate based

on machine hours, the over- or underapplied overhead ranges from $1,600

overapplied to $2,000 underapplied. This fluctuation in the over- or underap-

plied overhead compares favorably with the fluctuation resulting from using

the current overhead base of direct materials ($5,000 overapplied to $5,000

underapplied over the past five years). For the direct labor cost base, the

over- or underapplied overhead ranges from $5,500 overapplied to $5,000 un-

derapplied.
