Document Summary

Job-order costing - a costing system used in situations where many different products, jobs, or services are produced each period. In a job-order costing system, costs are traced and allocated to jobs and then the costs of the job are divided by the number of units in the job to arrive at an average cost per unit. Job-order costing is also used extensively in service industries. For example, hospitals, law firms, movie studios, accounting firms, advertising agencies, and repair shops all use a variation of job-order costing to accumulate costs. Recall that product costs include manufacturing overhead as well as direct materials and direct labor. Therefore, manufacturing overhead also needs to be recorded on the job cost sheet. However, assigning manufacturing overhead to a specific job involves some difficulties. There are three reasons for this: manufacturing overhead is an indirect cost. Consequently, the average cost per unit will vary from one period to the next.

EXERCISE 3-14 Computing Predetermined Overhead Rates and Job Costs [LO3-1, L03-2, L03-3, LO3-7] Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production ...... Fixed manufacturing overhead cost .... Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour ....... 100,000 $650,000 $3.00 Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job: $450 Direct materials requisitioned ..... Direct labor cost ... Machine-hours used ...... $210 40 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400. During the year, the company worked a total of 146,000 machine-hours on all jobs and incurred actual manufacturing overhead costs of $1,350,000. What is the amount of underap- plied or overapplied overhead for the year? If this amount were closed out entirely to Cost of Goods Sold would the journal entry increase or decrease net operating income?

The following transactions took place during the month of December:

1. Purchased raw materials for $25,000 on credit;

2. Requisitioned and used direct materials for the three jobs:

a. $4,000 for Job 10

b. $4,800 for Job 11

c. $7,200 for Job 12

3. Used indirect materials worth $20,000

4. . Incurred direct labor costs as follows:

a. $ 2,400 for Job 10

b. $3,600 for Job 11

c. $4,000 for Job 12

5. Incurred $30,000 worth of indirect manufacturing labor costs.

6. Depreciation on manufacturing plant and equipment $21,000.

7. During the month of December, the company used the following direct labor hours and machine hours for the three jobs:

	Job 10	Job 11	Job 12	Total
Machine hours	400	700	900	2,000
Labor hours	120	180	200	500

Required:

1. Compute the predetermined overhead application rate.

2. Prepare the journal entries for the transactions that took place in December and apply manufacturing overhead to the jobs using the actual machine hours.

3. Determine the total cost associated with each job.

4. If jobs 10 and 12 were completed, prepared the journal entry to move jobs 10 and 12 to finished goods.

5. Delivered job 10 to customers that paid $40,000 cash; prepare the journal entries to sell job 10 and to recognize the associated cost of goods sold.

6. What is the cost assigned to ending work in process (control account)?

7. What is the cost assigned to ending finished goods (control account)?

8. How much was manufacturing overhead over/underapplied?
