Comparing Job Order Costing and Process Costing

determine a product cost by measuring the amount of direct materials and direct labor used and allocating overhead costs.

allocate overhead using a predetermined overhead rate (or activity-based costing).

maintain perpetual inventory records with subsidiary ledgers for Materials, Work in Process, and Finished Goods.

department at periodical intervals.

Cost of Production ReportCost of Production Report

The cost of production report provides the following production quantity and cost data:

The units for which the department is accountable and the deposition of those units.

The production costs incurred by the department and the allocation of those costs between completed and partially completed units.
