Product and Service Costing
A product costing system accumulates the costs incurredin a production process and assigns those costs to theorganization’s final products.
Use in Financial accounting:
Value inventory on the balance sheet
Compute cost of goods sold expense on the income
statement.

Product and Service Costing
Use in Managerial Accounting:
Help managers with planning and decision making.
Decisions about product prices, the mix of products tobe produced and the quantity of the output to bemanufactured involves the usage of product costs.
Use in Cost management:
For controlling or reducing production costs of aproduct.
Use in reporting to interested organizations

Product and Service Costing
Service firms and non profit organizations:
Service firms do not have inventories.
Their costs involve costs that are incurred in producing the
services which are provided. Costs are then used for planning, cost control and
decision making purposes.

Introduction
An enterprise seeks to profit by providing customerswith goods and services.
To realize this profit, it is necessary to make decisions
based upon appropriate and timely informationprovided by the accounting reports.
So in order to fulfill the management needs, cost
accounting consists of basic three phases,1)costdetermination and measurement, 2)cost planning andcontrol through budgets and standards 3)cost analysisfor decision making purposes.

Cost systems: Actual or
Standard.
Determination of a product’s cost is a basicobjective of cost accounting and when the unitcost is identified, the obvious question arises,"how are these costs accumulated?
In actual costs systems, costs are collected asthey occur but they are determined at the end of the manufacturing procedures.

Cost systems: Actual or
Standard.
In standard cost system, unit cost are predetermined inadvance of production. Costing of the products,operations and processes are done by using standardsfor both quantity and dollar amount.
Difference between actual cost and standard cost givesthe variance. And management’s role is to overcomethe unfavorable conditions from predeterminedstandards.
Both actual cost system and standard cost system maybe used in connection with either job order pr processcosting.

Types of Product Costing
SystemsProcessCosting
Job-order Costing
A company produces many units of a singleproduct.
One unit of product is indistinguishable fromother units of product.
The identical nature of each unit of product enablesassigning the same average cost per unit.

Types of Product Costing
SystemsProcessCosting
Job-order Costing
Many different products are produced each period.
Products are manufactured to order.
The unique nature of each order requires tracing or allocating costs to each job, and maintaining costrecords for each job.

This table presents an overview of the differences between a job-order and process costing system. Notice that costs areaccumulated by the job in a job-order system and by departmentin the process system. If you think of building a house, you cansee how easy it is to accumulate costs for a particular house,even though you may be building more than one house at a time.If you think of mixing Coca-Cola, costs would naturally be
accumulated by the department working on the current batch.

Description for Direct material
Cost
Once a sales order has been received and aproduction order issued, the Production Departmentprepares a materials requisition form to specify thetype, quantity, and total cost of materials. Here is the
materials requisition form completed for job A - 143.The requisition is number X7 - 6890. The worker hasrequested twelve 2 x 4s, 12 feet long, and twenty 1 x6s, 12 feet long. The unit cost of the lumber is shown inthe unit cost column. The quantity requested is
multiplied by the unit cost to arrive at the total cost for materials. The person in charge of the store room willissue the number once the materials requisition formhas been properly authorized.

Here is the time ticket for an employee whoworked eight hours on job A – 143. Theemployee’s hourly pay rate is $11, so the total
labor cost charged to the job will be $88. Thetime ticket, number 36, serves as the major source document for labor costs charged tothis job.

Why Use an Allocation Base?
Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs thatare in process. An allocation base, such asdirect labor hours, direct labor dollars, or
machine hours, is used to assignmanufacturing overhead to individual jobs.We use an allocation base because:
1. It is impossible or difficult to trace overhead costs toparticular jobs.
2. Manufacturing overhead consists of many different itemsranging from the grease used in machines to productionmanager’s salary.
3. Many types of manufacturing overhead costs are fixed even
though output fluctuates during the period.
7/27/2019 Job Order Costin 1

The predetermined overhead rate(POHR ) used to apply overhead to
jobs is determined before the periodbegins.

Using a predetermined rate makes it possible toestimate total job costs sooner.
Actual overhead for the period is not known until the
end of the period, thus slowing down the ability toestimate job costs during the period;
Actual overhead costs can fluctuate seasonally, thus
misleading decision makers;
It simplifies record keeping.

Problems of Overhead
Application
The difference between the overhead cost applied toWork in Process and the actual overhead costs of aperiod is referred to as either underapplied or
overapplied overhead.
Underapplied overhead exists when the amount of overhead applied to jobs
during the period using the
predetermined overheadrate is less than the total
amount of overhead actuallyincurred during the period.
Overapplied overhead exists when the amount of overhead applied to jobs
during the period using the
predetermined overheadrate is greater than the totalamount of overhead actuallyincurred during the period.
