    Study Notes

    Job-Order Costing: Calculating Unit Product Costs

    • Job-order costing systems are used for producing multiple products, manufacturing to order, and tracing costs to each job.
    • Examples of companies using job-order costing include Boeing, Bechtel International, and Walt Disney Studios.
    • Product costs are related to manufacturing and can be inventoried, while period costs are non-manufacturing and go directly to the P/L.
    • Direct material and direct labor are easily associated with the job order, but allocating manufacturing overhead is more complex.
    • An allocation base, such as direct labor hours or machine hours, is used to assign manufacturing overhead to individual jobs.
    • Predetermined overhead rates are used to apply overhead to jobs before the period begins, based on estimated data.
    • The predetermined overhead rate is computed using a four-step process, including estimating total fixed and variable manufacturing overhead costs.
    • Overhead costs can be fixed (e.g., depreciation) or variable (e.g., consumption and electricity bills) and are applied using a predetermined overhead rate.
    • PearCo estimates it will require 160,000 direct labor-hours, with total fixed manufacturing overhead at $200,000 and variable manufacturing overhead costs of $2.75 per direct labor hour.
    • The allocation base is a cost driver that causes overhead, and the predetermined overhead rate is based on estimated levels of production.
    • Predetermined overhead rates are used because actual overhead for the period may not be known until the end, inhibiting the ability to estimate job costs.
    • Actual overhead costs can fluctuate seasonally, misleading decision makers, so predetermined rates relying on estimated data are often used.
