General Approach to Job Costing
A manufacturing company is planning to sell
a batch of 25 special machines (Job 650) to a
retailer for $114,800.
Step 1:
The cost object is Job 650.
Step 2:
Direct costs are: Direct materials = $50,000
Direct manufacturing labor = $19,000
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
7
General Approach to Job Costing
Step 3:
The cost allocation base is machine-hours.
Job 650 used 500 machine-hours.
2,480 machine-hours were used by all jobs.
Step 4:
Manufacturing overhead costs were $65,100.
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
8
General Approach to Job Costing
Step 5:
Actual indirect cost rate is
$65,100 ÷2,480 = $26.25 per machine-hour.
Step 6:
$26.25 per machine-hour ×500 hours = $13,125

Step 7:
Direct materials $50,000
Direct labor 19,000
Factory overhead 13,125
Total $82,125

General Approach to Job Costing
What is the gross margin of this job?
Revenues $114,800
Cost of goods sold 82,125
Gross margin $ 32,675
What is thegross margin percentage?
$32,675 ÷$114,800 = 28.5%

Normal Costing--example
Assume that the manufacturing company budgets
$60,000 for total manufacturing overhead costs
and 2,400 machine-hours.
What is the budgeted indirect-cost rate?
$60,000 ÷2,400 = $25 per hour
How much indirect cost was allocated to Job 650?
500 machine-hours ×$25 = $12,500

Normal Costing
What is the cost of Job 650 under normal costing?

End-Of-Period Adjustments
How was the allocated overhead determined?
2,480 machine-hours ×$25 budgeted rate = $62,000
$65,100 –$62,000 = $3,100 (underallocated)
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
40
End-Of-Period Adjustments
Actual manufacturing overhead costs of $65,100
are more than the budgeted amount of $60,000.
Actual machine-hours of 2,480 are more than
the budgeted amount of 2,400 hours.
Budgeted MOH rate = $60,000 / 2,400 MH = $25 / MH
Actual MOH rate = $65,100 / 2,480 MH = $26.25 / MH
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
41
End-Of-Period Adjustments
Approaches to disposing underallocated
or overallocated overhead:
1. Adjusted allocation rate approach
2. Proration approaches (2 ways)
3. Immediate write-off to Cost of Goods
Sold approach
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
42
Adjusted Allocation
Rate Approach
Actual manufacturing overhead ($65,100)
exceeds manufacturing overhead allocated
($62,000) by 5%.
3,100 ÷62,000 = 5%
Actual manufacturing overhead rate is $26.25
per machine-hour ($65,100 ÷2,480) rather
than the budgeted $25.00.
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
43
Adjusted Allocation
Rate Approach
The manufacturing company could increase
the manufacturing overhead allocated to
each job by 5%.
Manufacturing overhead allocated to Job 650
under normal costing is $12,500.
$12,500 ×5% = $625
$12,500 + $625 = $13,125, which equals
actual manufacturing overhead.
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme
44
Proration Approach
Basis to prorate under-or overallocated overhead:
A.ending $ amount of MOH in WIP, FG, and
CoGS balances (before proration)
B. ending $ balances of Work-in-Process,
Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold
2009 Foster School of Business Cost Accounting L.DuCharme

Proration Approach “A”
Assume the following manufacturing
overhead component of year-end
balances (before proration):
