Systems Design: Job-Order, Process & AB Costing Topic Three by Dr. Ong Tze Santzesan@econ.upm.edu.my
A company produces many units of a single product. • One unit of product is indistinguishable from other units of product. • The identical nature of each unit of product enables assigning the same average cost per unit. Types of Product Costing Systems ProcessCosting Job-orderCosting
Many different products are produced each period. • Products are manufactured to order. • The unique nature of each order requires tracing or allocating costs to each job, and maintaining cost records for each job. Types of Product Costing Systems ProcessCosting Job-orderCosting
Job-Order Costing Costs are traced andapplied to individualjobs in a job-ordercost system. Direct Materials FinishedGoods Jobs Direct Labor ManufacturingOverhead Cost of GoodsSold
Process Costing Costs are traced and applied to departments in a process cost system. Direct Materials FinishedGoods Processing Department Direct Labor ManufacturingOverhead Cost of GoodsSold
Operation Costing Operation costing is a hybrid of job-order and process costing because it possesses attributes of both approaches. Job-order Costing Operation Costing (Products produced in batches) Process Costing Material Costs chargedto batches as injob-order costing. Conversion costsassigned to batchesas in process costing.
