Outline a seven-stepapproach to job costing.


Seven-Step Approachto Job Costing

Step 1: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 Approachto Job Costing

Step 5: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 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



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



What is the gross margin of this job?Revenues $114,800Cost of goods sold 82,125Gross margin $ 32,675What is the gross margin percentage?

$32,675 ÷ $114,800 = 28.5%

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?

500 machine-hours × $25 = $12,500


Normal Costing

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

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%


Proration Approach “A”

Proration Approach “B”

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”

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
