Job-Order Costing

Learning Objective
To distinguish between
process costing and
job-order costing and
identify companies that
would use each costing
method

Types of Product Costing Systems
Process

Job-order
Costing
 A company produces many units of a single
product.
 One unit of product is indistinguishable from
other units of product.
 The identical nature of each unit of product enables
assigning the same average cost per unit.

 Many different products are produced each period.
 Products are manufactured to order.

Manufacturing Overhead Application
Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs that
are in process. An allocation base, such as
direct labor hours, direct labor dollars, or
machine hours, is used to assign
manufacturing overhead to individual jobs.
We use an allocation base because:
1. It is impossible or difficult to trace overhead costs to particular jobs.
2. Manufacturing overhead consists of many different items ranging
from the grease used in machines to a production manager’s
salary.
3. Many types of manufacturing overhead costs are fixed even though
output fluctuates during the period.
2-19
Learning Objective
To compute
predetermined
overhead rates and
explain why estimated
overhead costs (rather
than actual overhead
costs) are used in the
costing process
LO3
2-20
Using a predetermined overhead rate (POHR) makes
it possible to estimate total job costs sooner.
Actual overhead for the period is not
known until sometime after the period has ended.
Manufacturing Overhead Application
$
2-21
Actual amount of the allocation
based upon the actual level of
activity.
Based on estimates, and
determined before the
period begins.
Manufacturing Overhead Application
Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity
2-22
For each direct labor hour worked on a
particular job, $4.00 of factory overhead
will be applied to that job.

Job-Order Cost Accounting
2-25
Interpreting the Average Unit Cost
The average unit cost should not be interpreted
as the costs that would actually be incurred if an
additional unit were produced.
Fixed overhead would not change if another unit
were produced, so the incremental cost of
another unit may be somewhat less than $118.
2-26
Quick Check 
Job WR53 at NW Fab, Inc. required $200 of
direct materials and 10 direct labor hours at
$15 per hour. Estimated total overhead for the
year was $760,000 and estimated direct labor
hours were 20,000. What would be recorded
as the cost of job WR53?
a. $200.
b. $350.
c. $380.
d. $730.

Learning Objective
To compute underapplied or

and prepare the journal entry
to close the balance in
Manufacturing Overhead to
the appropriate accounts
LO8
2-54
Defining Under- and Overapplied Overhead
The difference between the overhead cost applied to
Work in Process and the actual overhead costs of a
period is termed either underapplied or overapplied
overhead.
Underapplied overhead
exists when the amount of
overhead applied to jobs
during the period using the
predetermined overhead
rate is less than the total
amount of overhead actually
incurred during the period.
Overapplied overhead
exists when the amount of
overhead applied to jobs
during the period using the
predetermined overhead
rate is greater than the total
amount of overhead actually
incurred during the period.

Quick Check 
Tiger, Inc. had actual manufacturing
overhead costs of $1,210,000 and a
predetermined overhead rate of $4.00 per
machine hour. Tiger, Inc. worked 290,000
machine hours during the period. What is
Tiger’s over- or underapplied overhead?
a. $50,000 overapplied.
b. $50,000 underapplied.
c. $60,000 overapplied.
d. $60,000 underapplied.

c. Net operating income will decrease.
2-60
Multiple Predetermined Overhead Rates
To this point, we have assumed that there is a
single predetermined overhead rate called a
plantwide overhead rate.
Large companies
often use multiple
predetermined
overhead rates.
May be more
complex but . . .
May be more
accurate because it
reflects differences
across departments.

Job-Order Costing in Service Companies
Job-order costing is used in many
difference types of service companies.

  • 54. 2-54 Defining Under- and Overapplied Overhead The difference between the overhead cost applied to Work in Process and the actual overhead costs of a period is termed either underapplied or overapplied overhead. Underapplied overhead exists when the amount of overhead applied to jobs during the period using the predetermined overhead rate is less than the total amount of overhead actually incurred during the period. Overapplied overhead exists when the amount of overhead applied to jobs during the period using the predetermined overhead rate is greater than the total amount of overhead actually incurred during the period.

  • 60. 2-60 Multiple Predetermined Overhead Rates To this point, we have assumed that there is a single predetermined overhead rate called a plantwide overhead rate. Large companies often use multiple predetermined overhead rates. May be more complex but . . . May be more accurate because it reflects differences across departments.
