Chapter 4

• 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-orderCosting

• Typical job order cost applications
• Special-order printing
• Building construction
• Also used in the service industry
• Hospitals
• Law firms

Job-Order Cost Accounting

• The primary document for tracking the costs
  associated with a given job is the job cost sheet.

Application of Manufacturing Overhead

• The predetermined overhead rate (POHR) is
  determined before the period begins.

Ideally, the allocation base is a cost driver
that causes overhead.
19
Application of Manufacturing Overhead
Based on estimates, and determined before the
period begins.
Actual amount of the cost driver such as units
produced, direct labor hours, or machine hours.
incurred during the period.
20
The Need for a Predetermined Manufacturing
Overhead Rate

• Using a predetermined rate makes itpossible to
  account for total job costs sooner, since
• actual overhead for the period is
  notknown until the end of the period.

21
Overhead Application Example

• 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 PearCos predetermined overhead
  rate per hour?

22
Overhead Application Example
POHR 4.00 per DLH
For each direct labor hour worked on a job, 4.00
of factory overhead will be applied (charged) to
the job.

Lets return to PearCo and see what we do when
actual and applied overhead are not equal.
26
Overhead Application Example

• PearCos actual overhead for the year was
  650,000, and there were actually 170,000
• direct labor hours.
• How much total overhead was applied to PearCos
  jobs during the year? Use PearCos predetermined
  overhead rate of 4.00 per direct labor hour.

27
Overhead Application Example

• PearCos actual overhead for the year was
  650,000 for a total of 170,000 direct labor
  hours.
• How much total overhead was applied to PearCos
  jobs during the year? Use PearCos predetermined
  overhead rate of 4.00 per direct labor hour.

Overhead Application Question 1

• Tiger, Inc. had actual manufacturing overhead
  costs of 1,210,000 and a predetermined overhead
  rate of 4.00 per machine hour. Tiger worked
  290,000 machine hours during the period. Tigers
  manufacturing overhead is
• a. 50,000 overapplied.b. 50,000
  underapplied.c. 60,000 overapplied.d.
  60,000 underapplied.

31
Overhead Application Question 2

• Assume that Tigers overhead was 60,000
  underapplied. This amount would result in an
  adjustment that would decrease cost of goods sold
  by 60,000.
• a. True
• b. False

32
Job-Order Costing Typical Accounting Entries
Lets look at summary journal entries for a
job-order costing system. Well omit the
numbers so that we can focus on accounts.
33
Cost Flows Material Purchases

• Raw material purchases are recorded in
  aninventory account.

34
Cost Flows Material Usage

• Direct materials issued to a job increase Work
  in Process and decrease Raw Materials. Indirect
  materials used are charged to Manufacturing
  Overhead and also decrease Raw Materials.

35
Cost Flows Labor

• The cost of direct labor incurred increases
  Work in Process and the cost of indirect labor
  increases Manufacturing Overhead.

36
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.

37
Cost Flows Overhead Applied

• Work in Process is increased when
  Manufacturing Overhead is applied to jobs.

38
Cost Flows Period Expenses

• Nonmanufacturing costs (period expenses) are
  charged to expense as they are incurred.

39
Cost Flows Cost of Goods Manufactured

• As jobs are completed, the cost of goods
  manufactured is transferred to Finished Goods
  from Work in Process.

40
Cost Flows Sales

• When finished goods are sold, two separate
  entries are required (1) to record the sale at
  the selling price and (2) to record Cost of
  Goods Sold and reduce Finished Goods by the Cost
  of Goods Manufactured.
