Document Summary

Managerial accounting ch 3: systems design- job order costing. Process costing (ex: cement mixing company, oil refining company, coca cola) Company produces many units of a single product. Identical nature allows for same average cost per unit. Unique nature requires tracing/allocating costs to each job, and maintaining cost records for each job. Ex direct labour hours, direct labour dollars, or machine hours, used to assign manufacturing overhead to individual jobs. Impossible/difficult to trace overhead costs to particular jobs. Manufacturing overhead consists of many different items ranging from grease used in machines to managers salary. Many types of manufacturing overhead costs are fixed even though output fluctuates during the period. Predetermined overhead rate (pohr) used to apply overhead to jobs is determined before the period begins. Pohr = estimated total manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period / estimated total units in the allocation base for the coming period. Ideally the allocation base is a cost driver that causes overhead.
