Job order costing accumulates and records costs by job and assists managers in evaluating actual and expected costs related to direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead costs.

Select a company that would employ a job order costing system. Research the company and discuss why a job order costing system is the 'correct' fit for that organization. Discuss a product the company sells and discuss what direct and indirect costs would be included on the job cost sheet.

Follow the minimum requirements for discussion board posts located in the general discussion area. Recall, those are the minimum requirements, more posts are always encouraged.
