Cost Accounting System
- Accumulates production costs for products and services.
- Used to determine selling prices and control manufacturing costs.
Job Order Production
- Suitable for customized products, such as wedding cakes and tailored dresses.
- Job order costing systems are employed to calculate costs for specific jobs or job lots.
Manufacturing Costs
- Three main types in job order costing: direct labor, direct materials, and overhead.
- Overhead includes all production costs excluding direct materials and direct labor.
Inventory Accounts
- Manufacturer inventory includes raw materials, work in process, and finished goods.
- Indirect materials inventory is not a typical inventory account for manufacturers.
Job Cost Sheets
- Track costs related to materials, labor, and overhead for individual jobs.
- Used after job completion to provide a subsidiary ledger for finished goods inventory and cost of goods sold.
Overhead Allocation
- Dependent on activity base, often direct labor or machine hours.
- Predetermined overhead rate is calculated to estimate total job costs before completion.
General Ledger Entries
- Journal entries documented for purchases of materials, labor costs, and allocations of overhead.
- Over- or under-applied overhead adjustments impact net income at the end of the accounting period.
Direct and Indirect Costs
- Direct materials and labor specifically linked to a job; indirect encompasses all other costs.
- Time tickets record hours for specific jobs, crucial for tracking labor costs.

- Does not include cost of goods sold.
Differences Between Companies

- Both company types incur overhead and direct labor costs.
Adjustments for Over/Under Applied Overhead
- Overapplied overhead increases net income; underapplied decreases it.
