1. Chapter 2Job-Order Costing and Modern Manufacturing Practices

2. Presentation Outline • Job-Order vs. Process Costing • Cost Classifications in Manufacturing Companies • Costs Flows in Manufacturing Companies • Job-Order Costing System • Allocating Manufacturing Overhead to Jobs • Modern Manufacturing Practices

3. I. Job-Order vs. Process Costing • Job-Order Costing • Process Costing

4. A. Job-Order Costing A job-order costing system is a product costing system used by entities that make (perform) relatively small quantities or distinct batches of identifiable, unique products (services).

5. B. Process Costing A process costing system is a product costing system used by entities that produce large quantities of homogeneous goods.

6. II. Cost Classifications in Manufacturing Companies A. Manufacturing Costs B. Nonmanufacturing Costs

7. Manufacturing Costs(Also called Product Costs) Direct Materials Materials that can physically and conveniently traced to a product. Manufacturing Overhead All manufacturing costs other than direct materials and direct labor. Direct Labor Labor that can physically and conveniently traced to a product. Conversion Costs Prime Costs

8. B. Nonmanufacturing Costs (Also Called Period Costs) Administrative Costs All costs of general administration of the company as a whole. Marketing or Selling Costs All costs necessary to secure orders and get the finished product or service into the hands of the customer

9. III. Cost Flows in Manufacturing Companies • Three Inventory Accounts • The Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured • The Cost of Goods Sold Calculation • Overview of Product Cost Flows • Overview of Period Cost Flows

10. A. Three Inventory Accounts • Raw materials inventory – cost of materials on hand that are used to produce a company’s products. • Work in process inventory – cost of goods that are only partially completed. • Finished goods inventory – cost of all items that are complete and ready to sell. (Sell Illustration 2-4 on page 37)

11. B. The Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured + Beginning Work in Process Inventory Plus: current manufacturing costs: + Direct materials Beginning raw materials inventory + Purchases of raw materials + Direct labor = Raw materials available for use - Ending raw materials inventory Manufacturing Overhead + = Raw materials used in production Total Work in Process Inventory = - Ending Work in Process Inventory = Cost of Goods Manufactured

12. Merchandising Company Beginning merchandise inventory + Purchases ------------------------------ = Goods available for sale - Ending merchandise inventory ------------------------------ = Cost of Goods Sold Manufacturing Company Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured ------------------------------ = Goods available for sale - Ending finished goods inventory ------------------------------ = Cost of Goods Sold C. The Cost of Goods Sold Calculation (See Illustration 2-6 on page 40)

13. D. Overview of Product Cost Flows Balance Sheet Income Statement Raw Material Purchases Raw Materials Inventory Indirect Materials Direct Materials Manufacturing Overhead Work in Process Inventory Cost of Goods Manufactured Indirect Labor Direct Labor Labor Finished Goods Inventory Cost of Goods Sold

14. E. Overview of Period Cost Flows Balance Sheet Income Statement Selling Expenses Selling Expenses Prepaid Expenses General & Administrative Expenses General & Administrative Expenses Prepaid expenses does not include inventory.

15. IV. Job-Order-Costing System • Materials Requisition Form • Materials Requisition Journal Entry • Employee Time Ticket • Labor Journal Entry • Manufacturing Overhead • Entry to Apply Manufacturing Overhead • Finished Goods and Cost of Goods Sold

16. A. Materials Requisition Form A materials requisition form is used to request the release of materials from a company’s storage area. It shows the type, quantity, and cost of material, as well as the number of the job using the material. See Illustrations 2-11 and 2-10 on page 44.

17. B. Materials Requisition Journal Entry Work-in-Process Inventory xxx (Direct materials) Manufacturing Overhead xxx (Indirect materials) Raw Materials Inventory xxx

18. C. Employee Time Ticket Time tickets keep track of employee time spent on jobs. (See Illustration 2-12 on page 97). If many workers are on a certain job, daily labor summaries may be posted to jobs instead of individual time tickets. (See Illustrations 2-13 on page 46 and 2-10 on page 44).

19. D. Labor Journal Entry Work-in-Process Inventory xxx (Direct labor) Manufacturing Overhead xxx (Indirect labor) Salaries & Wages Payable xxx

20. E. Manufacturing Overhead • Actual manufacturing overhead costs are recorded as debits in a manufacturing overhead account. • Overhead is usually applied to job cost sheets using one or more predetermined overhead rates. Overhead is applied to jobs by multiplying the predetermined overhead rate by the actual measure of the activity base (cost driver) associated with each job. (See 2 step process on pages 47-48)

21. F. Entry to Apply Manufacturing Overhead Overhead is applied at the end of the period or at the completion of production, whichever is earlier. The journal entry to apply overhead is as follows: Work-in-Process Inventory xxx Manufacturing Overhead xxx

22. G. Finished Goods and Cost of Goods Sold • When jobs are complete, Finished Goods is increased and Work in Process is reduced: Finished Goods Inventory xxx Work in Process Inventory xxx • When completed goods are sold, Cost of Goods Sold is increased and Finished Goods is reduced: Cost of Goods Sold xxx Finished Goods Inventory xxx

23. V. Allocating Manufacturing Overhead to Jobs • Computing a Predetermined Overhead Rate • Allocation of Manufacturing Overhead • Why Estimate an Overhead Rate? • Overapplied and Underapplied Overhead

24. A. Computing a Predetermined Overhead Rate Estimated Total Overhead Cost Estimated Level of Allocation Base = Predetermined Overhead Rate $320,000 40,000 direct labor hours = $8 per direct labor hour

25. B. Allocation (or Application) of Manufacturing Overhead Predetermined Overhead Rate x Actual Level of Allocation Base --------------------------------------- Overhead Applied to Product Manufacturing Overhead (MOH) Work in Process Inventory Actual MOH Applied MOH DM DL $8 x 27 hours = 216 AppliedMOH

26. C. Why Estimate an Overhead Rate? • Overhead rates are estimated because product costs need to be known for pricing purposes before production is completed. • Using annual estimates smoothes out fluctuations in overhead costs so customers are treated more consistently in pricing products.

27. D. Overapplied and Underapplied Overhead Manufacturing Overhead (MOH) • Any balance in manufacturing overhead should technically be adjusted through work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold since the overhead flows through these accounts. • If the balance is immaterial, it is often adjusted through cost of goods sold only. (See Journal Entry Examples on Page 54) Actual MOH Applied MOH Underapplied Overapplied

28. VI. Modern Manufacturing Practices • Just-In-Time Production • Computer-Controlled Manufacturing • Total Quality Management

29. Just-In-Time (JIT) Production • Suppliers deliver materials just before they are needed in the production process. • Production lines are synchronized to remove waiting time between lines.

30. B. Computer-Controlled Manufacturing • Decreasing labor costs are causing many companies to reconsider their overhead allocation bases. • In a highly mechanized companies where direct labor is a small part of total manufacturing costs, using labor as an allocation base is generally not appropriate. • When equipment is substituted for labor, fixed costs generally increase, and variable costs decrease.

31. C. Total Quality Management Although there is no right way to implement total quality management (TQM), the following are usually stressed: • Listening to customer needs • Making products right the first time • Reducing defective products • Encouraging continuous improvement by workers
