Study Notes
Manufacturing Costs
- Manufacturing overhead includes costs that cannot be classified as direct materials or direct labor.
- Direct materials are raw materials directly associated with a finished product, while direct labor includes employee wages directly tied to manufacturing.
Cost Categories
- Cost of goods sold is not classified as a manufacturing cost category.
- Direct labor costs exclude wages for supervisory roles.
- Finished goods inventory does not feature in the cost of goods manufactured schedule.
Total Manufacturing Costs
- Total manufacturing costs comprise direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
- The calculation of total manufacturing costs can be illustrated with practical examples involving raw materials, labor, and overhead expenses.
Job Order Cost Systems
- These systems identify costs by job rather than by time period, and significant costs are assigned to specific jobs.
- The raw materials inventory acts as a control account, while transfers from the storeroom are recorded in work in process and manufacturing overhead.
Under- or Overapplied Overhead
- Overhead can be either overapplied or underapplied based on the comparison between applied and actual costs.
- A process cost system tracks costs through connected manufacturing processes, while job order cost systems focus on individual jobs.
Process Cost Systems
- They maintain a single work in process account for each process, determining total costs at the end of a specific period.
- In process cost systems, production cost reports are prepared for each department, assessing equivalent units of production.
Activity-Based Costing (ABC)
- Involves multiple cost pools with overhead rates based on specific activities.
- Identifying and classifying activities constitutes the first step in implementing ABC, aiming for accurate cost allocation.
Cost Drivers and Allocation
- Cost drivers such as machine hours, direct labor, and parts can influence the allocation of overhead.
- The application of overhead in traditional systems often lacks the granularity found in ABC methods, which assign costs based on more specific drivers.
Practical Applications and Examples
- Various examples, including calculations of gross profit and total costs, provide insight into applied manufacturing costs and overhead applications.
- Real-world scenarios demonstrate the financial implications of different cost accounting methods, including activity-based costing.
Summary of Key Terms
- Job Order Costing: System identifies costs per job.
- Process Costing: Tracks costs per department or process.
- Manufacturing Overhead: Includes indirect costs associated with production.
- Direct Materials: Raw materials directly contributing to product creation.
- Activity-Based Costing: Assigns overhead based on specific activities and their drivers.
Relationships and Comparisons
- ABC versus traditional costing highlights differences in cost allocation techniques, impacting financial decisions and efficiency.
- Understanding both job order and process costing systems is crucial for managing different types of manufacturing environments effectively.
