approach to job costing. Learning Objective 3 Outline a seven-step approach to job costing.

Seven-Step Approach to Job Costing Identify the chosen cost object. Step 2: Identify the direct costs of the job. Step 3: Select the cost-allocation bases. Step 4: Identify the indirect costs.

Seven-Step Approach to Job Costing Compute the rate per unit. Step 6: Compute the indirect costs. Step 7: Compute the total cost of the job.

General Approach to Job Costing A manufacturing company is planning to sell a batch of 25 special machines (Job 650) to a retailer for $114,800. Step 1: The cost object is Job 650. Step 2: Direct costs are: Direct materials = $50,000 Direct manufacturing labor = $19,000

General Approach to Job Costing Step 3: The cost allocation base is machine-hours. Job 650 used 500 machine-hours. 2,480 machine-hours were used by all jobs. Step 4: Manufacturing overhead costs were $65,100.

General Approach to Job Costing Step 5: Actual indirect cost rate is $65,100 ÷ 2,480 = $26.25 per machine-hour. Step 6: $26.25 per machine-hour × 500 hours = $13,125

General Approach to Job Costing Step 7: Direct materials $50,000 Direct labor 19,000 Factory overhead 13,125 Total $82,125

General Approach to Job Costing What is the gross margin of this job? Revenues $114,800 Cost of goods sold 82,125 Gross margin $ 32,675 What is the gross margin percentage? $32,675 ÷ $114,800 = 28.5%

Distinguish actual costing Learning Objective 4 Distinguish actual costing from normal costing.

Costing Systems Actual costing is a system that uses actual costs to determine the cost of individual jobs. It allocates indirect costs based on the actual indirect-cost rate(s) times the actual quantity of the cost-allocation base(s).

Costing Systems Normal costing is a method that allocates indirect costs based on the budgeted indirect-cost rate(s) times the actual quantity of the cost allocation base(s).

Normal Costing Assume that the manufacturing company budgets $60,000 for total manufacturing overhead costs and 2,400 machine-hours. What is the budgeted indirect-cost rate? $60,000 ÷ 2,400 = $25 per hour How much indirect cost was allocated to Job 650? 500 machine-hours × $25 = $12,500

What is the cost of Job 650 under normal costing? Direct materials $50,000 Direct labor 19,000 Factory overhead 12,500 Total $81,500

Account for end-of-period underallocated or overallocated Learning Objective 6 Account for end-of-period underallocated or overallocated indirect costs using alternative methods.

End-Of-Period Adjustments Manufacturing Overhead Control Manufacturing Overhead Applied Bal. 65,100 Bal. 62,000 Underallocated indirect costs Overallocated indirect costs

End-Of-Period Adjustments How was the allocated overhead determined? 2,480 machine-hours × $25 budgeted rate = $62,000 $65,100 – $62,000 = $3,100 (underallocated)

End-Of-Period Adjustments Actual manufacturing overhead costs of $65,100 are more than the budgeted amount of $60,000. Actual machine-hours of 2,480 are more than the budgeted amount of 2,400 hours.

End-Of-Period Adjustments Approaches to disposing underallocated or overallocated overhead: 1. Adjusted allocation rate approach 2. Proration approaches 3. Immediate write-off to Cost of Goods Sold approach

Adjusted Allocation Rate Approach Actual manufacturing overhead ($65,100) exceeds manufacturing overhead allocated ($62,000) by 5%. 3,100 ÷ 62,000 = 5% Actual manufacturing overhead rate is $26.25 per machine-hour ($65,100 ÷ 2,480) rather than the budgeted $25.00.

Adjusted Allocation Rate Approach The manufacturing company could increase the manufacturing overhead allocated to each job by 5%. Manufacturing overhead allocated to Job 650 under normal costing is $12,500. $12,500 × 5% = $625 $12,500 + $625 = $13,125, which equals actual manufacturing overhead.

Proration Approach Basis to prorate under- or overallocated overhead: – total amount of manufacturing overhead allocated (before proration) – ending balances of Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold

Proration Approach “A” Assume the following manufacturing overhead component of year-end balances (before proration): Work in Process $23,500 38% Finished Goods 26,000 42% Cost of Goods Sold 12,500 20% Total $62,000 100%

Proration Approach “A” Manufacturing Overhead Finished Goods 65,100 62,000 22,500 3,100 1,302 0 23,802 Cost of Goods Sold Work in Process 81,500 40,000 620 1,178 82,120 41,178

Proration Approach “B” Ending balances of Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold Work in Process $ 40,000 28% Finished Goods 22,500 16% Cost of Goods Sold 81,500 56% Total $144,000 100%

Proration Approach “B” Manufacturing Overhead Finished Goods 65,100 62,000 22,500 3,100 496 0 22,996 Cost of Goods Sold Work in Process 81,500 40,000 1,736 868 83,236 40,868

Immediate Write-off to Cost of Goods Sold Approach Manufacturing Overhead 65,100 62,000 3,100 0 Cost of Goods Sold 81,500 3,100 84,600

Learning Objective 7 Apply variations from normal costing.

Variations of Normal Costing Home Health budget includes the following: Total direct labor costs: $400,000 Total indirect costs: $96,000 Total direct (professional) labor-hours: 16,000

Variations of Normal Costing What is the budgeted direct labor cost rate? $400,000 ÷ 16,000 = $25 What is the budgeted indirect cost rate? $96,000 ÷ 16,000 = $6

Variations of Normal Costing Suppose a patient uses 25 direct labor-hours. Assuming no other direct costs, what is the cost to Home Health? Direct labor: 25 hours × $25 = $625 Indirect costs: 25 hours × $6 = 150 Total $775
