Job Order Costing
All companies have to accumulate and allocate costs. Each company has to decide how it is going to do
that. Companies pick a method that works Ill for them, and is cost effective. A Ill designed accounting
system should generate reports for a large variety of uses. Of course, it must provide the necessaryinformation for annual financial statements; and it should also help in the preparation of special reports,
like sales tax and payroll reports. It should help managers track and manage inventories, open orders,
accounts receivable and accounts payable. There are many different types of costing systems that
management and cost accountants may come across. Each of these costing systems may handle certain
entries in a different way. There are two main types of cost accounting systems. Companies select a
method that best matches the flow of work in their business.
Process costing - In process costing, costs are accumulated by departments, operations, or processes. The
work performed on each unit is standardized or uniform where a continuous mass production or assembly
operation is involved. For example, process costing is used by companies that produce appliances,
alcoholic beverages, tires, sugar, breakfast cereals, leather, paint, coal, textiles, lumber, candy, coke,
plastics, rubber, cigarettes, shoes, typewriters, cement, gasoline, steel, baby foods, flour, glass, men'ssuits, pharmaceuticals and automobiles. Process costing is also used in meat packing and for public utility
services such as water, gas and electricity.
Job order costing - In job order costing, costs are accumulated by jobs, orders, contracts, or lots. The key
is that the work is done to the customer's specifications. As a result, each job tends to be different. For
example, job order costing is used for construction projects, government contracts, shipbuilding,
automobile repair, job printing, textbooks, toys, wood furniture, office machines, caskets, machine tools,
and luggage. If you go to an auto repair shop, they will start a job ticket just for the work to be done on
your car. Your job ticket will show charges for labour and materials, just for your job. Let's say they charge
you Rs35 per hour for labour. That charge includes the mechanic's payroll cost. But it also includes an
overhead charge - which is generally not stated separately. The overhead charge covers the costs of
operating the garage-
tools and equipment, rent, insurance, maintenance, utilities, etc. It is a way toallocate overhead (discussed below), and build it in to the amount charged to customers. The garage will
also make a gross profit on the parts they use to repair your car. This gross profit covers the cost of buying
and maintaining a parts inventory, including department employee wages, insurance and warehousing
costs.
Purpose
A. The purpose of a job order cost accounting system is to assign and accumulate costs for each job, i.e.,an order, a contract, a unit of production, or a batch. Job order costing should be used if the production or
service is being performed to meet customer specifications or requirements, if different components are
made for inventory, or projects are undertaken to construct real property. Job order costing allows more
control, less estimation, and more direct and reliable allocation of costs. B. The determination as to the

need for a formal job order cost accounting module is necessarily a management decision. The decision to
establish such a module should be based upon a recurring need for cost accounting information.
The management information provided by a job order cost accounting system is a tool that aids
management in the guidance of activities and in the attainment of the objective of producing a maximum
of goods and services at minimal costs. The formal cost accounting module is normally designed toaccumulate those costs that are under the control of local management. Typically, management controls
all costs that are funded by appropriations or funds provided to the accounting entity. These costs are
referred to as funded costs.
Job Orders Categories.
Job orders are established in terms of the nature and type of work to be performed.
Following are examples of the criteria that may be used to establish job order categories.
A. End Items: A separate job order should be established for work performed on standalone end items
such as airplanes or trucks.
B. Real Property Construction: A separate job order should be established for each real property
construction project.
C. Real Property Maintenance: A separate job order should be established for each real property
maintenance project.
D. Low Dollar Like Items: A job lot is normally used when low dollar like items are placed into the process
at the same time. HoIver, the estimated cost of any job lot order may not exceed Rs750,000. If the
estimated cost is greater than Rs750,000, a separate job order should be established for each Rs750,000
increment.
The Job-Order Costing Process
When a company operates using job-order costing, a specific set of events will usually occur
with each job. Generally, the process is as follows:
An order (or sales order) is received for the batch of products
A production order is issued from the sales order
Materials and labour are ordered and tracked for the set of products
Manufacturing overhead is allocated to the job using a predetermined rate (usually per labour hour or
per machine hour)

Actual manufacturing overhead will not affect the work-in-process account, instead it is charged to a
control account
Direct labour and materials are charged by the accountant to the work-in-process accounts using the
actual amounts incurred
These amounts are all tracked using a job-costing sheet, which will most likely be in a computerized
format and a subsidiary ledger is kept for each job
Abnormal spoilage (spoilage that is above and beyond what would be expected from the job) is
considered a period cost and is reclassified from the work-in-process account into a separate account so it
can be addressed by management.

M D Engineering Components LLC
The company I have chosen for analysis is M D Engineering Components, a firm that manufactures high
quality motor cycle tools. It is the leader in Long Reach and "Special" tooling. I have chosen this specific
company because it is a manufacturing firm that produces built-to
-order tools and equipment, and maybe
large, unique, high cost items. Thus the company would do better if it can trace its costs to specific jobs
unlike other massproduction firms
Stage 1 involves issuing of material stock to different stock lines. The raw material inventory issued is nut
plate (object code: BACQ29VXHG02B) and rivet (object code: ACR31NS02C) with total quantity of
25 and 100, respectively, issued to both the lines.

To the stock line 1, quantity of nut plate issued is 5 for one kind of nut plate and 7 for another. The unit
cost for both of them is 12Rs where as quantity of nut plate issued for stock line 2 is 13 with a unit cost of
Rs0. Similarly, for rivet I can see, to the stock line 1 rivet is issued twice with a total quantity of 20 and 23
on a unit cost of Rs0.07. For stock line 2 the quantity issued is 57 with the unit cost of Rs7.00. Thus, I can
see
Inventory cost = Nut Plate cost + Rivet cost
= (5x12.00+7x12.00+13x0) + (20x0.07+23x0.07+57x7.00)
= 144.00 + 402.01
= Rs 546.01
Apart from that an extra inventory cost is incurred to build sub-
assembly brackets where 15 quantities areissued at a unit cost of Rs1978.33.

Cost for product packaging and shipping as per the cost sheet is not applied because the product is yet to
be delivered to client.
Also I note here that the cost sheet has not talked about any overhead application. The company may be
following a policy of not including the fixed overheads in the product costing.

Thus the total cost for the particular job has been found out to be Rs 175,111.01. As a next step the
company could fix its selling price if it already hasnt, by deciding on the required profit margins.
Conclusion:
The Job cost sheet of M D Engineering components consists of job information (date started, completed,
and shipped); individual cost information for materials used, labour, and overhead; and a total job cost
summary. This is a typical example where job order cost system is used when products are made based on
specific customer orders. Each product produced is considered a job. The job order cost system hascaptured and tracked the costs of producing each job, which includes materials, labour, and overhead in a
manufacturing environment.

Materials requisition form
To assure that materials costs are properly allocated to jobs in process, a materials
requisition form (see Figure 2 ) is usually completed as materials are taken from the raw
materials inventory and added to work-in-process.

Time ticketLabor costs are allocated to work-in-process inventory based on the completion of time
tickets (see Figure 3 ) identifying what job a worker spent time on.
Figure 3 Sample Time Ticket
Predetermined overhead rateFactory overhead costs are allocated to jobs in process using a predetermined overhead rate.
The predetermined overhead rate is determined by estimating (during the budget process)
total factory overhead costs and dividing these total costs by direct labor hours or direct labordollars. For example, assume a company using direct labor dollars for the allocation of overhead
estimated its total overhead costs to be Rs300,000 and total direct labor dollars to be
Rs250,000. The company's predetermined overhead rate for allocating overhead to jobs in
process is 120% of direct labor dollars, and is calculated as follows:

If direct labor costs are Rs20,000 for the month, overhead of Rs24,000 (Rs20,000 120%)
would be allocated to work-in-process inventory. Factory overhead would be allocated to
individual jobs based on the portion of the Rs20,000 direct labor cost that is assigned to each
job. If job number 45 had Rs9,000 in direct labor cost for the month, factory overhead of
Rs10,800 (Rs9,000 120%) would also be allocated to the job.
Once a job is completed, the total costs assigned to the job are transferred from work-in-process
inventory to finished goods inventory. Once the job is sold and delivered, the job costs are
transferred from finished goods inventory to cost of goods sold. Figure 4 summarizes the flow of
costs in a job order cost system and Figure 5 summarizes the journal entries required given theflow of costs in Figure 4 . The ending balances in the three inventory accounts would be reported
as inventories on the balance sheet and cost of goods sold would be reported on the income
statement.

The factory overhead account (see Figure 5 ) has a balance which indicates the amount of
overhead applied to work-in-process inventory is different from the actual overhead incurred.
When there is a debit balance in the factory overhead account, it is called under-applied
overhead meaning not enough overhead was allocated to jobs. If the balance in the factory
overhead account was a credit, the overhead would be over-applied, meaning too much
overhead was allocated to jobs. Factory overhead must be zero at the end of the year. Most
companies transfer the balance in factory overhead to cost of goods sold. An alternative method,
although more complex, is to allocate the under- or over-applied balance among the work-in-
process inventory, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold accounts. The Rs2,600
account balance in factory overhead in Figure 5 is relatively small. To zero out the account
balance and transfer it to cost of goods sold, the entry would be:
