3 Chapter Why Assign Costs to Products? System Design: Job-Order Costing • Discover which products are most profitable. • product mix or expansion decisions • Help set prices. • Value product inventory. • reporting; insurance • Identify inefficiencies or non-value added costs.
Allocating Costs Costs that cannot easily be traced to a particular product. Indirect Costs Pooled together and allocated using cost driver. Product / Service Traced to a particular product or service. Direct Costs
Job Costing Challenges of job costing • Allocating the manufacturing overhead costs. • ABC = elaborate method of dividing costs • Keeping track of individual jobs.
Process Costing WIP FG Challenge of process costing • Splitting the total cost between WIP and FG.

Disposing of Over / Underapplied Overhead Adjusted Allocation Rate • Calculate actual indirect cost rate. • Recompute allocation of costs to each job. Prorate Based on Indirect Costs Allocated • Determine how much overhead, allocated in the current period, is in WIP, FG and CGS. • Prorate the over- or under-applied overhead based on these amounts.
