Job Order Costing
Questions
1.
Such a company should not aggregate costs across customer
orders because such a process could charge excessively high
(or low) costs to orders that did not create those costs.
Only by separating the costs by customers will a reliable
basis be provided for determining job prices and evaluating
job profitability.
2.
A company should use job order costing only when it is
necessary and possible to trace costs to products made for
individual customers, and when the products made for one
customer are very different from those made for other
customers. In such a setting, no meaningful average cost
exists across customers that could be used for important
decisions such as setting prices.
3.
The diametric alternative to the job order costing system is
the process costing system. A process costing system is
appropriate for those production environments that make
homogeneous products, usually in large quantities, in batch or
continuous flow systems.
4.
The three valuation methods are actual, normal, and standard
costing. In actual costing, only the actual amounts of
materials, labor, and overhead costs are assigned to
production. Normal costing differs from actual costing in
that an amount of overhead is applied to products using a
predetermined overhead rate rather than the actual amount.
Standard costing differs from actual and normal costing in
that a perunit amount (standard) is established for direct
material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. These
predetermined amounts are charged to production rather than
the actual or normal costs.
5.
A job is a unit of work and may contain one or many product
units. In a job order costing system it is necessary to
specify each job because the job is the cost object and costs
are separately accumulated for each job.

6.
The three stages for a job are started but not completed,
completed but not sold, and sold. Cost information for
completed jobs is used to evaluate the profitability of
individual jobs, to serve as a basis for bidding future jobs,
and to determine the cost of goods sold.
7.
The principal documents are the material requisition forms,
employee time sheets, and job order cost sheets. Material
requisition forms are used to initiate the removal of raw
materials from inventory or to acquire them from suppliers.
Time sheets are used to track the time of individual employees
to specific jobs. Job cost sheet are used to track the costs
of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead
associated with particular jobs, and possibly compare those
costs with budgeted costs.
8.
The material requisition form is important because it
establishes who authorized the purchase or use of raw
materials and in what amounts. It therefore establishes the
custody of materials through time and production.
9.
A job order cost sheet is a detailed subsidiary ledger
account. As such, it is the major accounting document used in
a job order costing system. It typically contains information
such as the customer identification; job description;
starting, completion, and delivery dates; budgeted and actual
costs; and contract price. Collectively, the job cost sheets
serve as the subsidiary records for Work in Process Inventory,
Finished Goods Inventory, and Cost of Goods Sold accounts.
10.
Job cost sheets provide managers with information about the
costs that have been assigned to particular jobs. Some job
cost sheets record both the budgeted and actual costs incurred
on each specific job. The actual cost information can then be
reflected in the various inventory accounts as well as cost of
goods sold. Such cost information can be broken down into
perunit costs on jobs consisting of multiple, similar
outputs. This cost aggregation may prove useful for planning
and control purposes as well as for bidding on future
contracts.
11.
This statement is false. The job cost record is merely a
subsidiary ledger account and, thus, serves as a backup to the
general ledger control account. Therefore, any information
that is recorded in the job cost record must also be recorded
in the general ledger control account (Work in Process
Inventory) to reconcile the control and subsidiary
information. The postings to the general ledger control
accounts and the subsidiary ledger may be made at different
points in time.

12.
An employee time sheet would show all hours worked, including
overtime, by a given employee for a pay period. The time
sheet is used to assign the cost of employee labor to
specific jobs. Generally, however, overtime premiums will not
be charged to specific jobs although the overtime hours worked
will be charged to the jobs at regular hourly rates.
13.
A predetermined overhead rate is generally better than an
actual rate for several reasons. First, the actual amount of
overhead incurred during one period cannot be known until well
into the next period when all accruals and adjusting entries
have been made; therefore, actual overhead could not be
assigned to jobs until this information is known. Secondly,
the numerator (actual overhead) or the denominator (activity
level) could include distortions due to seasonal fluctuations,
causing assigned costs to be abnormal. Last, changes in
actual overhead costs in different months can be smoothed
using an expected annual measure of costs and activity
14.
Under or overapplied overhead will result when the estimates
used in determining the predetermined overhead rate are
different from the actual amount of overhead incurred or
levels of activity performed, or both. If applied overhead is
less than actual overhead, the difference is called
underapplied overhead; if it is greater than actual, the
difference is called overapplied overhead. In general, the
differences should be small and the resulting under or
overapplied overhead should be immaterial.
15.
The most significant difference between service and
manufacturing firms is that the service firms cannot inventory
services in the same manner that manufacturing firms can
inventory products. Accordingly, job order costing plays a
much less important role in service firms in valuing
inventory, but may play an extremely important role in
determining cost per job and customer profitability.
16.
The cost of goods sold is determined as the sum of costs for
all jobs that have been sold during a period. In most
businesses, this amount would be very close to the cost of
goods manufactured because firms that use job costing produce
to the orders of customers rather than to create inventory.
17.
Advancing technology is allowing companies to track more costs
and other information about jobs. One of the most exciting
developments are intranets that allow companies to post
information, including cost data, in a central repository that
can be accessed simultaneously by all managers who require
such information to execute their job assignments. Further,
the information available is increasingly realtime data.

19.
Under a job order costing system based on actual costs,
entries to record costs to the control account Work in Process
Inventory and the subsidiary job cost records are made for the
actual amounts of materials, labor, and overhead used. In a
standard cost job order system, norms are developed for
materials, labor and overhead and it is these norms which are
carried in the Work in Process Inventory and job order
records. The standards or norms for materials and labor can
be for quantities, prices, or both. The differences between
actual and standard charges to WIP are called variances and
will be computed as production gets under way.
A company would use a standard cost job order system to
enable management to determine the efficiency with which jobs
were performed. Standard costing with regard to quantity
would only be useful in a production environment that
generated some type of uniform output that would allow
standards or norms to be developed.
20.
No. Only if a firm has an opportunity to routinely make a
product will standard costs be very useful. For oneofakind
products, there is simply no opportunity to develop reliable
standards and no opportunity to learn from past experiences
about ways to become more efficient in operations.
21.
Variances identify the areas of efficiency and inefficiency in
production operations. Managers, using the philosophy of
management by exception, focus their attention on the
significant variances. They attempt to determine causes of
both significant favorable and unfavorable variances and will
specifically look for interactions among the variances. By
concentrating on the significant variances, managers focus on
the aspects of operations that are out of control and try to
correct the causes.
22.
Job order costing facilitates a disaggregated analysis of
costs. Rather than analyzing, for example, cost of goods
sold, a manager can analyze the cost of specific jobs. This
more detailed information allows managers to obtain insights
that otherwise would be beyond their reach. For example,
managers can examine important data such as job profitability,
job pricing, cost control on a jobbyjob basis, job
production schedules, and actual versus budgeted job costs.

Ads shouldn't be billed at a flat rate because some may
take much longer to develop than others. For example,
the ads for Randall took 450 hours to develop a mere 15
ads (30 hours each). Ten ads were developed for Westside
in only 210 hours (21 hours each). Finally, 40 hours were
consumed to develop 5 ads for Brangston (8 hours each).
If Tom wishes to quote a flat rate, he should be billing
based on a standard charge per direct labor hour rather
than a standard charge per ad.

The student’s memo should address the following issues.
The biggest problem is that the budgeted cost is well
below the actual cost for each job. This indicates that the
company is not using its information on past jobs as a basis
for either lowering costs or increasing future bid prices. By
not using the available historical information to adjust
operations, the company is accepting jobs that are very
marginal. Although each job generated a positive gross
margin, the actual gross margin is only a small fraction of
the budgeted gross margin. The company must use historical
costs as a basis to find ways to improve future costs and/or
adjust future bids.

The student’s report should contain some of the following
issues.
Mass production of frozen meals coupled with name brand
recognition would be a reasonable strategy for the U.S.
market. This strategy would allow the firm to generate a high
volume of production and would lend itself to the use of
automated technology. However, in Mexico the firm would try
to compete by producing frozen meals in very small operations
and tailor the product to the demands of the local market.
The keys to success would be to successfully identify the
unique demands of the local market and concentrate operations
in those local markets that generate sufficient volume to make
operations profitable.
There would possibly be a difference in accounting
systems used in each country. Certainly, the U.S. operation
would be suitable for the use of process costing—high volume,
homogeneous output. The small Mexican shops might use either
process costing or job order costing. Job order costing would
be appropriate if each shop produced customized frozen meals
for major customers. Process costing would be appropriate if
only a single type of frozen meal was produced for the local
market in each shop.
40.
The student’s report should include some of the following
issues.
In using accounting data to measure earnings, the
objective is the timely matching of costs with the related
revenues. Deferring costs until future periods inflates the
level of net income that would otherwise be reported. If
improper, the deferral would have the effect of making a
company appear to be more profitable than it actually is. In
future periods, the company would be forced to report the
deferred costs and its reported level of net income would fall
(if, in fact, there is no deferred benefit). As an investor,
the issue that must be resolved is whether there is a future
benefit associated with the costs that have been deferred. If
so, the measure of current income may be a useful measure of
economic earnings. Otherwise, economic earnings are much
lower than the reported earnings and the firm’s valuation
should be adjusted accordingly.
41.
a.
Joint ventures and other cooperative arrangements require
accountants to develop systems that cannot only account
for costs that are generated within a given firm, but to
also account for costs that are incurred in the joint
ventures and other entities. In addition to the
bookkeeping challenge, accountants must be able to
provide managers with information about where to source
conversion activities (in house or otherwise) so that
competitive bids can be made and costs can be effectively
117
Chapter 5

managed.
b.
Historically, accounting systems have been inwardly
focused on financial information of single firms.
Increasingly in the future, accounting systems must be
adapted and developed to look outwardly as well as
inwardly. Joint ventures are very common for job shop
environments. In these situations, managers must have
the information and tools to wisely determine what
conversion activities should be done inhouse and which
should be accomplished by another firm. To obtain the
overall lowest bid and win contracts, firms must exploit
both their own core competencies and those of other
firms, including competitors.
