  1. Compare and contrast job-order and process costing systems.

Job-order costing is characterized by the production of small quantities of heterogeneous (distinct or unique) items. Items are produced according to customer specifications and, at a minimum, direct material and direct labor costs can be traced to specific jobs. Process costing is characterized by the production of large quantities of homogeneous (alike or similar in nature) items. Specific items cannot be identified with specific costs during the production process.

 

  1. Discuss actual costing, normal costing, and standard costing.

Actual costing, normal costing, or standard costing may be used in either a job-order costing or process costing system. Actual costing assigns the actual cost of all direct material, direct labor, and overhead to the units produced. Normal costing uses actual direct material and direct labor cost and a predetermined overhead application rate to cost products. Standard costing establishes “norms” for direct material and direct labor quantities and/or costs and uses a predetermined (standard) overhead rate for the application of overhead to determine product cost.

 

  1. What is a “job” as defined in a job-order costing system?

A job is a single unit or a group of like items that is produced to customer specifications. A job is separately identifiable from other jobs. Each job is treated as a cost object, and costs (typically actual direct material, actual direct labor, and overhead applied using a predetermined rate) are attached to each job as it flows through the production process.

 

  1. What information should be contained in a subsidiary ledger for Work in Process Inventory in a job-order costing system?

The Work in Process Inventory subsidiary ledger should contain information on all incomplete jobs. This information will include the amount of direct material and direct labor costs in production, as well as the amount of overhead applied to each job. The subsidiary ledger for Work in Process Inventory is composed of all job cost sheets for uncompleted jobs and substantiates the balance in the general ledger Work in Process Inventory control account.

 

  1. Discuss the basic forms used in a job-order costing system.

The forms used in a job-order costing system include (1) a job-order cost sheet which records all the financial and significant production data (actual or standard, and possibly budgeted) relating to a particular job; (2) a material requisition form which records the costs and quantities of material that has been requisitioned for a particular job; and (3) an employee time sheet which records the jobs worked on by an employee and the amount of time spent on each job.

 

  1. Can standard costing be used in job-order costing? If so, what conditions must exist? If not, explain why.

Yes. Firms that use job-order costing can also base their costs on standards. Each job must be fairly similar to each other job. Standards may be used for the prices of material and labor if the jobs use basically the same kind of material and labor. If jobs are homogeneous enough, standards can also be used for materials and labor quantities. Some companies may choose to only use price standards, others only quantity standards, and others may use both price and quantity standards.

 

  1. Discuss the accounting treatment of spoilage in a job-order costing system.

If the spoilage is common to all jobs, is normal, and can be estimated, the net cost is applied to production using a predetermined overhead rate that was set by including the spoilage estimate in estimated overhead. If spoilage pertains to a particular job and is normal, the disposal value of the spoiled goods should be removed from that particular job. If the spoilage is abnormal, the net cost should be charged to a loss account and credited to the particular Work in Process job that created the spoilage.

  1. Dillman Company manufactures custom-built conveyor systems for factory and commercial operations. The cost accountant for Dillman Company is in the process of educating a new employee, Jerry Cole about the job-order costing system that Dillman Company uses. (The system is based on normal costs; overhead is applied based on direct labor cost and rounded to the next whole dollar.)  The following job-order cost records are available for July:
  Direct Direct   Total
Job No. Materials Labor Applied OH Cost
667 $ 5,901 $1,730 $ 1,990 $ 9,621

672   9,615    550     633  10,798
         

To explain the missing job number, the cost accountant informed Jerry that Job #668 had been completed in June. The accountant also told Jerry that Job #667 was the only job in process at the beginning of July. At that time, the job had been assigned $4,300 for direct material and $900 for direct labor. At the end of July, Job #671 had not been completed; all other jobs were complete. The cost accountant asked Jerry several questions to determine whether he understood the job-order costing system.

Required: Help Jerry answer the following questions:

a. What is the predetermined overhead rate used by Dillman Company?
   

 

b. What was the total cost of beginning Work in Process inventory?
   

 

c. What was total prime cost incurred for the month of July?
