Learning Goals

1. Explain the flow of costs through manufacturing accounts in


job costing system
2. Compute pre‐determined overhead rate and allocate
overheads in two stages
3. Learn disposition of under‐applied or over‐applied
overhead
4. Allocate Service department costs using direct method and
step‐down method

Costing Systems based on - Absorption costing
Job Costing:
– Different products as per Customer specification– Non-repetitive
• Not for mass market, produced in low volumes or one at a time
– Each job order is unique
• Can be continuously identified at each stage of production
– Jobs are separately identifiable
– Example : Houses made as per customer requirements
Process Costing
– Homogeneous products in continuous flow processing lines - Mass Scale
– Many units of a product - units are undistinguishable from each other
– Soft drink producer, Oil Refinery, Chemical processing plant, Cement

Application of Manufacturing Overhead:


Predetermined OH Rate (POHR) = $6.4 lac/80,000 DLH = $ 8 per DLH OH
Applied: Actual DLH used * POHR = 27 hrs * $ 8 = $216

Also look at Exhibit 3.3 page 121 of the Text Book
Application of Manufacturing Overhead
• Overhead Absorption - Charging of OHs to units produced
• Actual OH Absorption rate: Delay, Seasonality
• OH is applied to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate (POHR) based on
estimates made at the beginning of the accounting period

Budgeted manufacturing overhead cost


POHR =
Budgeted amount of cost driver (or
activity base)

Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity

Based on estimates, and Actual amount of the allocation


determined before the base, such as direct labor hours,
period begins incurred during the period
