Job-orderCosting
Produces many units of a single product for long periods.
Products are homogeneous.
Cost are allocated to units.
Will be discussed more in Chapter 3.

Job-orderCosting
Many different products are produced each period.
Products are manufactured to order.
Cost are traced or allocated to jobs.
Cost records must be maintained for each distinct product or job.

Job-Order Cost Accounting
The primary document for tracking the costs associated with a given job is the
job cost sheet.
Let’s investigate

A materials requisition form is used to
authorize the use of materials on a job.

Note
Why go to all the trouble to fill out a materials requisition form every time someone needs
materials for a job?
Trace costs of materials to particular
jobs.
Prevent pilferage, loss, and waste.Prevent supervisors from stockpiling materials “just in case the stockroom
runs out.”
Maintain control of assets.

Now let’s see how to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs.
Let’s do it
![Page 22: Chapter 2 Systems Design: Job-Order Costing. © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2005 McGraw-Hill /Irwin Process and Job-Order Costing Process Costing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649db45503460f94aa4eb5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Estimated total manufacturingoverhead cost for the coming period
Estimated total units in theallocation base for the coming period
POHR =
The predetermined overhead rate (POHR) used to apply overhead to jobs
is determined before the period begins.
Application of Manufacturing Overhead
Ideally, the allocation base is a cost driver that causes overhead.
![Page 23: Chapter 2 Systems Design: Job-Order Costing. © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2005 McGraw-Hill /Irwin Process and Job-Order Costing Process Costing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649db45503460f94aa4eb5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
© The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2005McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Application of Manufacturing Overhead
Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity
Actual amount of the allocation base such as units produced, direct
labor hours, or machine hours incurred during the period.
Based on estimates, and determined before the
period begins.
![Page 24: Chapter 2 Systems Design: Job-Order Costing. © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2005 McGraw-Hill /Irwin Process and Job-Order Costing Process Costing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649db45503460f94aa4eb5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The Need for a Predetermined Manufacturing Overhead Rate
Using a predetermined rate makes itpossible to estimate total job costs sooner.
Actual overhead for the period is notknown until the end of the period.

Note
If we wait until the end of the period, we will know the actual TOTAL overhead cost. However, we still won’t know
the actual overhead cost of a particular job.
Why?
Overhead consists of costs that are either difficult or impossible to trace to particular jobs. Difficult-to-trace costs include the cost of indirect materials like
glue in a furniture factory. Impossible-to-trace costs include fixed common costs like the
property taxes on the factory building and land.

PearCo applies overhead based on direct labor hours. Total estimated overhead
for the year is $640,000. Total estimated labor cost is $1,400,000 and total
estimated labor hours are 160,000.
What is PearCo’s predetermined overhead rate per hour?

For each direct labor hour worked on a job, $4.00 of factory overhead will be
applied to the job.

If the number of wooden crates in the order on the previous page is increased or decreased by one unit, what would you expect to happen to the total spending of PearCo?
a. Total spending would probably change by less than $118.
b. Total spending would probably change by about $118.
c. Total spending would probably change by more than $118.

c. Total spending would probably change by more than $118.
Quick Check
Total spending would change by $118 only if all of the costs were variable with respect to the number of units produced. Direct materials is variable, but
much of the overhead and perhaps even direct labor may be fixed.

Let’s return to PearCo and see
what we will do if actual and
applied overhead are not equal.

Overhead Application Example
PearCo’s actual overhead for the year was $650,000 for a total of 170,000 direct labor hours.
How much total overhead was applied to PearCo’s jobs during the year? Use PearCo’s predetermined
overhead rate of $4.00 per direct labor hour.
![Page 56: Chapter 2 Systems Design: Job-Order Costing. © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2005 McGraw-Hill /Irwin Process and Job-Order Costing Process Costing.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649db45503460f94aa4eb5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Overhead Application Example
SOLUTIONApplied Overhead = POHR × Actual Direct Labor Hours
Applied Overhead = $4.00 per DLH × 170,000 DLH = $680,000

Cost Flows – Material Purchases
Raw material purchases are recorded in aninventory account.

Cost Flows – Labor
The cost of direct labor incurred increases Work in Process and the cost of indirect labor increases
Manufacturing Overhead.

Cost Flows – Actual Overhead
In addition to indirect materials and indirect labor, other manufacturing overhead costs are charged to the Manufacturing Overhead account as they
are incurred.

As jobs are completed, the Cost of Goods Manufactured is transferred to Finished Goods
from Work in Process.

Job-Order Costing in Service Companies
Job-order costing is a versatile and widely used costing method that may be encountered in virtually
any organization.
In an accounting firm, each client
is a “job.”
In a movie studio, each file produced
is a “job.”
In a law firm, each client is a
“job.”
