Document Summary

Objectives: job-order costing and process costing, job-order costing process, applied versus actual overhead, disposition of under- or over-applied overhead balances. Ignore: use of information technology, international job costing, and appendix 3a. Why apply overhead costs: manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs that are in process. An allocation base, such as direct labour hours, direct labour dollars, or machine hours, is used to assign manufacturing overhead to individual jobs: we use an allocation base because: It is impossible or difficult to trace overhead costs to particular jobs. 1: manufacturing overhead consists of many different items ranging from the grease used in machines to production manager"s salary, many types of manufacturing overhead costs are fixed even though output fluctuates during the period. Oh variance = actual oh applied oh. Adjusted cogs = normal cogs + oh variance: typically used. Overhead variance: oh variance = actual oh applied oh, if actual > applied, then under-applied oh, if actual < applied, then over-applied oh.
