Cost AccumulationCost Accumulation

Cost accumulation refers to the recognition and recording of costs.

The cost accountant needs to develop source documents, which keep track of costs as they occur. A source document describes a

transaction. Data from these source documents

can then be recorded in a database. Well-designed source documents can

supply information in a flexible way.

Cost MeasurementCost MeasurementCost measurement refers to classifying the cost.

There are two commonly used ways to measure the costs associated with production:actual costing and normal costing.

An actual cost system uses actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and overhead to determine unit cost.Normal costing systems measure overhead costs on a predetermined basis and use actual costs for direct materials and direct labor.

Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity






Recall the wooden crate example where:

Overhead applied = $4 per DLH × 8 DLH = $32

Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity

recordemos

The Need for a Predetermined Manufacturing Overhead Rate

Using a predetermined rate makes itpossible to estimate total job costs sooner.

Actual overhead for the period is notknown until the end of the period.

$

Overhead Application Example

PearCo applies overhead based on direct labor hours. Total estimated overhead for the year

is $640,000. Total estimated labor cost is $1,400,000 and total estimated labor hours are

160,000.

What is PearCo’s predetermined overhead rate per hour?

Total spending would change by $105 only if all of the costs were variable with respect to the number of units produced. Direct materials is variable, but much of the overhead and perhaps even direct labor may be fixed.

General Approach to Job Costing

A manufacturing company is planning to sella 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 = $50,000Direct manufacturing labor = $19,000

minorista


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.


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


Step 7:Direct materials $50,000Direct labor 19,000Factory overhead 13,125Total $82,125

Distinguish actual costingfrom normal costing.

Costing Systems

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

of the cost-allocation base(s).

Costing Systems

Normal costing is a method that allocatesindirect costs based on the budgetedindirect-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 hourHow much indirect cost was allocated to Job 650?

Overapplied and UnderappliedManufacturing Overhead


Let’s return to PearCoand see what we will

do if actual and applied overhead are

not equal.

Overhead ApplicationExample

PearCo’s actual overhead for the year was $650,000 for a total of 170,000 direct labor

hours.How much total overhead was applied to PearCo’s

jobs during the year? Use PearCo’spredetermined overhead rate of $4.00 per direct

labor hour.

SOLUTIONApplied Overhead = POHR × Actual Direct Labor Hours

Overhead Applied$4.00 per hour × 290,000 hours= $1,160,000

Underapplied Overhead$1,210,000 - $1,160,000= $50,000

Job-Order Costing – Typical Accounting Entries

Let’s look atsummary journal entries for a job-

order costing system.

Cost Flows – Material Purchases

Raw material purchases are recorded in aninventory account.

GENERAL JOURNAL Page 3

Date DescriptionPost. Ref. Debit Credit

Raw Materials XXXXX Accounts Payable XXXXX

Cost Flows – Material Usage

Direct materials issued to a job increase Work in Process and decrease Raw Materials. Indirect materials used are charged to Manufacturing Overhead and also decrease Raw Materials.



Work in Process XXXXXManufacturing Overhead XXXXX Raw Materials XXXXX

Cost Flows – Labor

The cost of direct labor incurred increases Work in Process and the cost of indirect labor

increases Manufacturing Overhead.

Cost Flows – Actual Overhead

In addition to indirect materials and indirect labor, other manufacturing overhead costs are charged to the Manufacturing Overhead account as they

are incurred. GENERAL JOURNAL Page 3

Cost Flows – Cost of Goods Manufactured

As jobs are completed, the Cost of Goods Manufactured is transferred to Finished

Goods from Work in Process.

Underallocated indirect costsOverallocated indirect costs


How was the allocated overhead determined?2,480 machine-hours × $25 budgeted rate = $62,000

$65,100 – $62,000 = $3,100 (underallocated)


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

the budgeted amount of 2,400 hours.


Approaches to disposing underallocatedor overallocated overhead:

1. Adjusted allocation rate approach2. Proration approaches3. Immediate write-off to Cost of Goods

Sold approach

Adjusted AllocationRate Approach

Actual manufacturing overhead ($65,100)exceeds manufacturing overhead allocated

($62,000) by 5%.3,100 ÷ 62,000 = 5%

Actual manufacturing overhead rate is $26.25per machine-hour ($65,100 ÷ 2,480) rather

than the budgeted $25.00.

Adjusted AllocationRate Approach

The manufacturing company could increasethe 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 equalsactual 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 manufacturingoverhead 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%

Apply variations fromnormal 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


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


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 = $625Indirect costs: 25 hours × $6 = 150Total $775

The Predetermined Overhead Rate & Capacity

Accounting for OverheadActual overhead costs are never

assigned directly to jobs. Overhead is applied using a

predetermined overhead rate.
