LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Distinguish between process costing and job-order costing and identify companies thatwould use each costing method.

2. Identify the documents used in a job-ordercosting system.

3. Compute predetermined overhead rates andexplain why estimated overhead costs areused in the costing process.

4. Prepare journal entries to record costs in ajob-order costing system.

After studying this chapter, you should be able to:


3-3

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

5. Apply overhead cost to Work in Process using apredetermined overhead rate.

6. Prepare T-accounts to show the flow of costs in ajob-order costing system and prepare schedulesof cost of goods manufactured and cost of goodssold.

7. Compute under- or overapplied overhead costand prepare the journal entry to close theManufacturing Overhead account.



3-4

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

8. (Appendix 3A) Explain the implications of basingpredetermined overhead rates on activity atcapacity vs. estimated activity.

Types of Costing Systems Used toDetermine Product Costs

ProcessCosting

Job-orderCosting

! Many different products are produced each period.

! Products are manufactured to order.

! Cost are traced or allocated to jobs.

! Cost records must be maintained for each distinct product or job.

Estimated total manufacturingoverhead cost for the coming period

Estimated total units in theallocation base for the coming period

POHR =

The predetermined overhead rate(POHR) used to apply overhead to jobsis determined before the period begins.

Application of ManufacturingOverhead

Ideally, the allocation base is acost driver that causes overhead.


3-23


Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity

Actual amount of the cost driversuch as units produced, directlabour hours, or machine hours

incurred during the period.

Based on estimates, anddetermined before the

period begins.


3-24






Recall the wooden crate example where:

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

Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity


3-25

The Need for a PredeterminedManufacturing 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.

3-26

PearCo applies overhead based on directlabour hours. Total estimated overheadfor the year is $640,000. Total estimated

labour cost is $1,400,000 and totalestimated labour hours are 160,000.

What is PearCo’s predeterminedoverhead rate per hour?

Overhead Application Example


3-27

For each direct labour hour worked ona job, $4.00 of factory overhead will be

applied to the job.

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

How much total overhead was applied to PearCo’sjobs during the year? Use PearCo’s predetermined

overhead rate of $4.00 per direct labour hour.


3-42


SOLUTIONApplied Overhead = POHR × Actual Direct labour Hours

Applied Overhead = $4.00 per DLH × 170,000 DLH = $680,000



overhead rate of $4.00 per direct labour hour.

3-47

Tiger, Inc. had actual manufacturing overheadcosts of $1,210,000 and a predeterminedoverhead rate of $4.00 per machine hour. Tiger,Inc. worked 290,000 machine hours during theperiod. Tiger’s manufacturing overhead is

a. $50,000 overapplied.

b. $50,000 underapplied.

c. $60,000 overapplied.

d. $60,000 underapplied.






Overhead Application Question 1


3-48












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

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


3-49

Tiger’s overhead was $50,000 underapplied.This amount would result in an adjustment thatwould decrease cost of goods sold by $50,000.

a. True

b. False


a. True

b. False



3-50


a. True

b. False


a. True

b. False

If overhead is underapplied, cost ofgoods sold is understated. Theadjustment will increase cost of

goods sold.

The PredeterminedOverhead Rate and

Capacity

Appendix

3A


3-61

The Capacity Issue

When estimated activity is less than activity

at capacity, two problems arise:

1. Unit product costs will fluctuate depending on the budgeted level ofactivity for the period. As budget levels decrease, unit product costs willincrease.

2. Products will be charged for resourcesthey did not use.

Cost Flows in aJIT System

Appendix

3B


3-63

JIT Inventory Method

Simplifies the cost flow process since rawmaterials and work in process arecombined into one new account “Rawand In-Process Inventory”.

This is because no raw materials arecarried in inventory because they arepurchased just in time to be used inproduction.

Leads to

Improving quality reduces the costs associatedwith rework, delays in production, warranty costand poor customer relations.


3-67

No Recovery

Where there is no recovery from scrapunits, the total loss from scrap can be:

1. Allocated across all good units, or

2. Charged to overhead and in turn charged to all jobs.


3-68

With Recovery

1. When items are sold for scrap, the scraprecovery could be credited to:

(a) the job, or

(b) manufacturing overhead.

2. When some rework is undertaken, thematerials and labour involved in the reworkcould be charged to:

(a) the job, or

(b) manufacturing overhead and spread over all the jobs.
