Content Area Mastery Problem: Job Order Costing (Advanced) Question Content Area Cost flows The price quoted to the customer is closely tied to the estimated cost in environments in which products are made according to the customer's specifications. Therefore, a company must be able to determine the unit cost of its products for pricing as well as for financial reporting purposes. To track costs in these environments, a Job order costing system is generally used. A job order costing system must be able to identify each individual job and accumulate its costs separately from the costs of other jobs. Recall the flow of costs used to determine cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold. The following flowchart illustrates the flow of costs into Work in Process and Finished Goods. Materials Labor Overhead Work in Process: Job 3 Materials, Labor, OH Job 4 Materials, Labor, OH In job order costing, the costs in Work in Process and Finished Goods can be related to specific jobs.

It is an internal document, so the format varies by company. Some companies prefer a detailed cost sheet that shows the details for direct materials (such as quantity, type, and requisition numbers for each material used) and details for direct labor (such as hours and wage rate for each employee who worked on the job). Other companies prefer a summary showing a total for direct materials and a total for direct labor. Overhead applied is reported on all job cost sheets. Recall that firms use normal costing to determine unit cost. Normal costing requires the use of predetermined overhead rates, which are calculated as follows: Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Annual Overhead Estimated Cost Driver APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Complete the job cost sheets for In the Doghouse Company In the Doghouse Company builds doghouses. They have three sizes: small, medium and large. Each size can be built in one of two styles, standard or deluxe. All doghouses are built with treated lumber and have shingled roofs. The deluxe model is insulated and has a covered porch. In the Doghouse sells mostly to local hardware and garden stores. The costs for direct materials and direct labor for each type of doghouse are shown in the table below. The direct materials cost includes costs for lumber, shingles, stain or paint, and insulation. Nails and glue are also used in the construction and are considered indirect materials which make them part of overhead. The company employs two carpenters and a part-time student to maintain the equipment and clean the shop. The carpenters' wages are direct labor. The student's wages are indirect labor and, therefore, part of overhead. Other overhead costs include depreciation of equipment and the building, insurance, utilities, and taxes. Overhead is applied at 10% of direct labor cost. In the Doghouse summarizes costs by direct materials, direct labor, and overhead on its job cost sheets.
