LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Demonstrate how to determine and use the predetermined overhead rate.

Cost Accounting involves

Measuring,

Recording, and

Reporting product costs.

Accounts are fully integrated into the general ledger.

Perpetual inventory system provides immediate, up-to-date information on the cost of a product.

Two basic types: (1) a process order cost system and (2) a job order cost system.

LO 1

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

Describe cost systems and the flow of costs in a job order system.

15-‹#›

Used when a large volume of similar products are manufactured - (cereal, refining of petroleum, production of ice cream).

Costs are accumulated for a time period – (week or month).

Costs are assigned to departments or processes for a specified period of time.

PROCESS COST SYSTEM

PROCESS COST SYSTEM

LO 1

15-‹#›

Costs are assigned to each job or batch.

Important feature: Each job or batch has its own distinguishing characteristics.

Objective is to compute the cost per job.

Measures costs for each job completed – not for set time periods.

The flow of costs parallels the physical flow of the materials as they are converted into finished goods

Manufacturing costs are assigned to the Work in Process (WIP) Inventory account.

Cost of completed jobs is transferred to the Finished Goods Inventory account.

When units are sold, the cost is transferred to the Cost of Goods Sold account.

Employer payroll taxes on these earnings, and

Fringe benefits (such as sick pay, pensions, and vacation pay) incurred by the employer.

Many types of overhead costs

For example, property taxes, depreciation, insurance, and repairs related to the manufacturing process.

Costs unrelated to manufacturing process are expensed.

Costs related to manufacturing process are accumulated in Manufacturing Overhead account.

Manufacturing overhead subsequently assigned to work in process.

While service companies do not have inventory, the techniques of job order costing are still quite useful in many service-industry environments.

Consider, for example, the Mayo Clinic (health care), PricewaterhouseCoopers (accounting), and Goldman Sachs (investment banking).

These companies need to keep track of the cost of jobs performed for specific customers to evaluate the profitability of medical treatments, audits, or investment banking engagements.

For Karr Company, the predetermined overhead rate is 140% of direct labor cost. During the month, Karr incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $80,000 is direct labor and $10,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $119,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or overapplied manufacturing overhead.

Manufacturing overhead applied

Underapplied manufacturing overhead

(140% x $80,000) = $112,000

($119,000 - $112,000) = $7,000
