Study Notes
Job Order Costing - Chapter 15
- Job order costing is used by companies with custom orders, diverse products, and services, low production volumes and high product flexibility. Process costing is used for repetitive procedures, similar products, high production volumes and high standardization.
- Learning Objectives include conceptual and procedural aspects of job order costing.
- Conceptual objectives explain job order costing and job cost sheets. Analytical objectives apply job order costing in pricing services. Procedural objectives describe and record material, labor, and overhead costs in job order costing, and close overapplied and underapplied factory overhead.
- Cost flows in job order costing involve raw materials inventory, work in process inventory, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold. Subsidiary records detail manufacturing costs for each job.
- Job cost sheets detail costs for individual jobs: materials, labor, and overhead.
- Materials flow from receiving reports to materials ledger cards to requisition forms. These documents track direct and indirect materials used.
- Labor costs flow from time tickets to job cost sheets. Time tickets track employee time and direct labor costs, and salary contracts track indirect labor.
- Overhead costs are applied using a predetermined overhead rate calculated with estimated overhead costs and estimated activity base (often direct labor). Adjusting for over/under-applied overhead involves adjusting the cost of goods sold.
- Service companies use job order costing but do not have raw materials or finished goods inventories. Overhead is applied to direct labor or service costs.
- Pricing for services considers labor and overhead costs to determine the total cost for each job. Gross profit ratio for service companies is calculated by subtracting cost of services from service revenue, then dividing the result by service revenue.
