CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES

1. Explain the characteristics and purposes of cost accounting. Cost accounting involves
the procedures for measuring, recording, and reporting product costs. From the data
accumulated, companies determine the total cost and the unit cost of each product. The two
basic types of cost accounting systems are job order cost and process cost.
2. Describe the flow of costs in a job order costing system. In job order costing, companies
first accumulate manufacturing costs in three accounts: Raw Materials Inventory, Factory
Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead. They then assign the accumulated costs to Work in
Process Inventory and eventually to Finished Goods Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold.
3. Explain the nature and importance of a job cost sheet. A job cost sheet is a form used to
record the costs chargeable to a specific job and to determine the total and unit costs of the
completed job. Job cost sheets constitute the subsidiary ledger for the Work in Process
Inventory control account.
4. Indicate how the predetermined overhead rate is determined and used. The
predetermined overhead rate is based on the relationship between estimated annual
overhead costs and expected annual operating activity. This is expressed in terms of a
common activity base, such as direct labor cost. Companies use this rate to assign overhead
costs to work in process and to specific jobs.
5. Prepare entries for jobs completed and sold. When jobs are completed, companies debit
the cost to Finished Goods Inventory and credit it to Work in Process Inventory. When a job is
sold, the entries are: (a) debit Cash or Accounts Receivable and credit Sales for the selling
price, and (b) debit Cost of Goods Sold and credit Finished Goods Inventory for the cost of
the goods.
6. Distinguish between under- and overapplied manufacturing overhead. Underapplied

manufacturing overhead indicates that the overhead assigned to work in process is less than
the overhead incurred. Overapplied overhead indicates that the overhead assigned to work in
process is greater than the overhead incurred.
TRUE-FALSE STATEMENTS
1. Cost accounting is primarily concerned with accumulating information about product costs.
2. A job order cost system is most appropriate when a large volume of uniform products are
produced.
3. A process cost accounting system is appropriate for similar products that are continuously
mass produced.
4. The perpetual inventory method cannot be used in a job order cost system.
5. A job order cost system and a process cost system are two alternative methods for
valuing inventories.
6. A job order cost system identifies costs with a particular job rather than with a set time
period.
7. A company may use either a job order cost system or a process cost system, but not both.
8. Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead are all control
accounts in the general ledger when a job order cost accounting system is used.
9. Accumulating and assigning manufacturing costs are two important activities in a job order
cost system.
10. Recording the acquisition of raw materials is a part of accumulating manufacturing costs.
11. Manufacturing costs are generally incurred in one period and recorded in a subsequent
period.
12. The Purchases account is credited for all raw materials purchase returns and allowances.
13. The stores ledger cards are the subsidiary ledger for Raw Materials Inventory control
account in the general ledger.
14. When raw materials are purchased, the Work in Process Inventory account is debited.
15. Factory labor should be assigned to selling and administrative expenses on a

proportionate basis.
16. Fringe benefits and payroll taxes associated with factory workers should be accumulated
as a part of Factory Labor.
17. Job order cost sheets constitute the subsidiary ledger of the control account Work In
Process Inventory.
18. In a job order cost system, each entry to the Work In Process Inventory account should be
accompanied by a posting to one or more job cost sheets.
19. Direct materials requisitioned from the storeroom should be charged to the Work In
Process Inventory account and the job cost sheets for the individual jobs on which the
materials were used.
20. Manufacturing overhead is the only product cost that can be assigned to jobs as soon as
the costs are incurred.
21. There should be a separate job cost sheet for each job.
22. Actual manufacturing overhead costs are assigned to each job by tracing each overhead
cost to a specific job.
23. The formula for the predetermined overhead rate is estimated annual overhead costs
divided by an estimated activity base.
24. Actual manufacturing overhead costs should be charged to the Work in Process Inventory
account as they are incurred.
25. A good system of internal control requires that the job order cost sheet be destroyed as
soon as the job is complete.
26. Finished Goods Inventory is charged for the cost of jobs completed during a period.
27. When goods are sold, the Cost of Goods Sold account is debited and Work in Process
Inventory account is credited.
28. Total manufacturing costs for a period consists of the costs of direct materials used, the
cost of direct labor incurred, and the manufacturing overhead applied during the period.
29. Overapplied overhead means that actual manufacturing overhead costs were greater than
the manufacturing overhead costs applied to jobs.
30. If monthly financial statements are prepared, underapplied overhead is shown as a

prepaid expense on the balance sheet.
Additional True-False Questions
31. A cost accounting system consists of manufacturing cost accounts that are fully integrated
into the general ledger of a company.
32. The cost of raw materials purchased is credited to Raw Materials Inventory when
materials are received.
33. Requisitions for direct materials are posted daily to the individual job cost sheets.
34. The predetermined overhead rate is based on the relationship between estimated annual
overhead costs and expected annual operating activity expressed in terms of a common
activity base.
35. At the end of the year, underapplied overhead is usually credited to Cost of Goods Sold.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS

S-A E 190
A job order cost accounting system is fully integrated into the general ledger of a company.
Identify the major general ledger accounts used in a job order cost system. Explain how
manufacturing costs flow through these accounts so that inventories may be costed and income
determined when goods are sold.
Solution 190
When a job order cost accounting system is fully integrated into the general ledger of a company,
the major general ledger accounts used are Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor,
Manufacturing Overhead, Work in Process Inventory, and Finished Goods Inventory. As
manufacturing costs are incurred, they are debited to the Raw Materials Inventory, Factory Labor,
and Manufacturing Overhead accounts. As materials are used, labor is assigned, or overhead is
applied, the costs are taken out of these accounts and debited to Work in Process Inventory.
When jobs are finished, the costs flow from the Work in Process Inventory account to the
Finished Goods Inventory account, and when jobs are sold, the costs are transferred to Cost of
Goods Sold from Finished Goods Inventory.
S-A E 191
Manufacturing overhead items are indirect product costs that cannot be traced to individual
products. Explain how manufacturing overhead costs are accumulated and how they are
assigned to products in a job order cost system.
Solution 191
As manufacturing overhead costs are incurred, they are debited to the Manufacturing Overhead
account. As jobs move through the factory, manufacturing overhead costs are applied to specific
jobs using the predetermined overhead rate. This rate is computed prior to the beginning of the
year by dividing estimated annual overhead costs by expected annual operating activity
(generally expressed as direct labor hours, direct labor cost, or machine hours). The overhead is
applied by determining how much activity was expended on a particular job (for example, direct
labor hours), and applying the rate to that activity.
S-A E 192 (Ethics)

People Carrier Systems, Inc. (PCS) modifies vans that seat 1520 people by adding additional
safety features or wheelchair ramps. Most of its customers are cities and counties, who use the
vans to transport school children, the elderly, or the handicapped. The company has specialized
in a no-frills approach, emphasizing safety, high quality, and low cost. The company's president
was quoted as saying, "Let the other guys make a van pretty. We get people where they need to
gofaster, better, and cheaper than anybody else."
The company obtains jobs by being the lowest bidder in a sealed bidding process. Recently, the
company was solicited by a top-10 college to submit a bid for a van to be used by its athletic
team. Some specialized items were required, such as the school's logo on the outside of the van,
and the vinyl seats had to be covered in school colors. The company submitted a bid, and was
very surprised to obtain it.
S-A E 192 (cont.)

When the job was being prepared, the job manager pointed out that several extra costs could
result in this job showing a loss. The boss, an ardent supporter of sports in general and this team
in particular, told the manager to just record the standard labor and overhead cost for this job. He
says that they could use the present rate for specialized jobs, and increase the overhead
application rate (used in submitting bids) by 5% for future routine jobs. "After all," he says,
"nobody else comes close to our price anyway. This could start a whole new line of business for
us."
Required:
1. Who are the stakeholders in the decision to increase overhead for routine jobs?
2. Is the decision to subsidize special jobs by increasing the overhead rate on routine jobs
ethical? Briefly explain.
Solution 192
1. The stakeholders include:
The employees and managers of PCS
Customers who purchase standard vans
Customers who purchase sports vans
Shareholders of PCS
2. The decision could be considered ethical, if the company clearly understands that it is
allowing the customers of the standard vans to cover some of the costs of the specialty ones.
This might not be a bad decision, especially if the specialty business is only a small fraction of
the total business.
The company might be compromising its own best interests, however, if it arbitrarily damages
relationships with existing customers in order to gain others. It seems undeniable that
established customers are preferable to untested ones. While probably ethical, the decision
may not be a good one.
S-A E 193 (Communication)

Bridal Treasures, Inc. makes customized wedding gowns. The customer selects a pattern for the
basic gown, and then selects fabric and trim. Once the design and the materials have been
agreed upon, a Statement of Estimated Cost is signed by the company and by the customer.
Overhead is applied based on the number of days a gown is in process. Usually, five gowns are
being worked on at a time. Therefore, each gown is charged 1/5 of a daily estimated overhead
amount.
Customer Ruth Hardin's wedding dress took four days to complete. However, after the first three
days had elapsed, Linda Lony, a movie personality, suddenly decided to get married, and ordered
a very lavish gown. All other work was suspended, and the work on Ms. Hardin's dress was
delayed six days. The final day of its construction was on the tenth day after it had been begun.
Required:
You are the accounting manager for Bridal Treasures. Write a memo to the billing department.
Instruct them as to the appropriate number of overhead days to charge to Ms. Hardin's account.
Solution 193
TO: Billing Department
FROM: M. Long, Accounting Manager
RE: Overhead billing, Gordon account
As you know, our standard procedure in billing overhead is to simply multiply our
daily overhead rate by the number of days the gown was in our possession.
However, for the Hardin gown, and any other jobs we suspended for the Linda
Lony gown, we should not charge for the days the gowns were in our possession
but not being worked on.
We should adjust the billing for the Linda Lony gown, so that it absorbs the full
daily cost of overhead, since it actually was the only job worked on during those
six days. The Hardin job should be charged only four days of overhead. Other
suspended jobs should be treated similarly.
Please call if you have questions.
