7JOB-COSTING & PROCESS-COSTING
SYSTEMS: AN OVERVIEW
JOB-COSTINGSYSTEM
In job costing system, the cost object is a unit or multiple units of a distinct product or
service called a job. Each job generally uses different amounts of resources. The
product or service is often a single unit, such as specialized machine made by some
company, a job repair done at some service center or an advertising campaign for a
client by an advertising agency.
PROCESS-COSTINGSYSTEM
In a process costing system, the unit cost of a product or service is obtained by
assigning total costs to many identical or similar units. In other words unit costs are
calculated by dividing total cost incurred by the number of units of output from the
production process. In a manufacturing process-costing setting, each unit receives the
same or similar amounts of direct material costs, direct manufacturing labor costs, and
indirect manufacturing costs (manufacturing overhead).

9DIRECT MANUFACTURING LABOR COST- includes the compensation of all
manufacturing labor that can be traced to the cost object in an economically feasible
way. Examples include wages and fringe benefits paid to machine operators and
assembly line workers who convert direct materials purchased to finished goods.
MANUFACTURING OVERHEADS- are all manufacturing costs that are related to the
cost object but cannot be traced to that cost object in an economically feasible way.
Examples include supplies, indirect materials such as lubricants, indirect manufacturing
labor such as plant maintenance and cleaning labor, plant rent, plant insurance,
property taxes on the plant.

10COMPONENTS OF JOB COSTING
There are numerous aspects to job costing, and we may use many, some or none of
them. If we want to use job costing, we need to:
1. Track the costs involved in the job
2. Make sure all of the costs are invoiced to the customer
3. Produce reports showing details of costs and revenues by job
The fundamental components of job costing are:
Quotesalso known as estimates, bids, or proposals
Fixed fee jobs
Time and materials jobs
Revenues
Items
Direct costs
Standard costs
1.Quotes
Quotes are non-posting transactions. They do not affect our financial statements
or our general ledger. We prepare a quote to give our customer an estimate of projected
costs, before a job is awarded. However, quotes also provide a means to track costs as
the job progresses, so that costs do not get out of line, or so that cost variances can be
identified and dealt with quickly.

Job Costing & Process Costing System
112.Fixed fee jobs
Fixed fee jobs are an agreement to complete a job for a customer for a set price,
no matter what costs are incurred. While this may seem like a good deal for the
customer, an experienced estimator will set a price high enough to cover anycontingencies, which may result in a higher price than a time and materials job.
3. Time and materials job
On a time and materials job, costs of labor and materials are passed on to the
customer. A markup for overhead and profit may be built-in as a percentage of each
item or stated as a separate line item. Time and materials jobs are often preferred by
the seller, as any unforeseen costs may be passed on to the customer.
4.Revenues
Revenues are critical to the life of any business. In job costing, revenues are not
only categorized by account, but also by customer, job and item. Think of jobs as sub-
categories of customers and items as sub-categories of revenue/expense. This creates
a new way of analyzing our revenues and the costs incurred to produce them.
Expenses become revenues; as costs are incurred for a job, they are marked up
and passed on to the customer as revenues. To be able to compare our costs to the
revenues they produce, we should create matching categories in our revenue accounts
and cost of goods sold accounts (COGS).

12/30
Job Costing & Process Costing System
125.Items
Items represent the products and services that our business sells. We may have
many items for each of the revenue/expense account categories in our chart of
accounts. Using items, we enter the details about what we buy and sell, then map or
link the detailed items to the more generalized accounts in the chart of accounts. We
can map many detailed items to a single account in our chart of accounts. This allows a
greater level of detail in the item list while keeping the chart of accounts list concise.
Items focus on revenues; they are the goods and services our company sells.
Use service items for labor, and non-inventory items for materials. The non-inventory
name just indicates that we are not tracking unit quantities or unit costs; they are still
goods and materials that we hold in inventory.
To track unit quantities and unit costs, use inventory items, but be forewarned; do
not use inventory items lightly. Using inventory items means that we are tracking and
entering unit quantities when we buy and sell as well as reconciling our accounting
records to the physical quantities on hand in between buying and selling. This is not an
item type for the faint-hearted!
6.Direct costs
Direct costs are the costs of the products and services sold. These are the costs
involved in job costing. Direct costs can be directly associated with a job and can be
identified as a part of the finished product. For a mason, direct costs would include the
costs of bricks and mortar, as well as the cost of the labor to prepare the mortar and lay
the bricks.
Direct costs are distinguished from indirect costs, or overhead. Indirect costs are
costs that cannot be identified in the finished product, even though they were incurred,
indirectly, in the process of completing the job. Examples of indirect costs are rent,
-
8/10/2019 COSTING PROJECTTTTTTTTTTTT.docx
13/30
Job Costing & Process Costing System
13insurance and administrative payroll. Indirect costs are not included in job cost reports.
Direct costs are categorized on the profit and loss report as cost of goods sold, whereas
indirect costs are categorized as operating expenses.
7.Standard costs
Standard costs represent direct costs that include a calculated (or estimated)
portion of related costs that are not billed separately to our customers. They are often
theoretical calculations, done in a spreadsheet, that give a more accurate picture of the
direct costs involved in a job. Examples of standard costs include:
o For every 100 feet of electrical cable installed, on the average we use 20 staples, 6
wire nuts and 2 electrical connectors. The staples, wire nuts and connectors are
purchased in bulk and not individually billed to the job. The purchase price for this
item is the cost of the electrical cable alone. The standard cost for the item includes
the cost of the cable, staples, wire nuts and connectors.
o For every hour of labor paid, we also incur 8.9% in payroll taxes and 5% in workers
compensation. When creating this labor item, the purchase price is the hourly cost
of the labor. The standard cost includes the hourly cost of the labor, plus the payroll
taxes and workers compensation.
While we should carefully identify our standard costs, they are used only in job
cost reports; they are not the costs stored in the general ledger or reported in our
financial statements.

14STEPS IN JOB COSTING METHOD
STEP 1: Identify the job that is chosen cost object-
Cost object are chosen using source documents. Source document is an original
record (such as a labor time card on which an employees work hours are recorded) that
supports journal entries in an accounting system.
STEP 2: Identify the direct costs of the job-
The direct costs identified in the job are the direct materials cost and the direct
manufacturing labor costs.
STEP 3: Select the cost-allocation bases to use for allocating indirect costs
to the job-
Indirect manufacturing costs are costs that are necessary to do a job but that
cannot be traced to a specific job. It would be impossible to complete a job without
incurring indirect costs such as supervision, manufacturing engineering, utilities and
repairs. Because these costs cannot be traced to a specific job, they must be allocated
to all jobs in a systematic way. Different jobs require different quantities of indirect
resources. The objective is to allocate the costs of indirect resources in a systematic
way to their related jobs.
Companies often use multiple cost allocation bases to allocate indirect
costs because different indirect costs have different cost drivers.

15/30
Job Costing & Process Costing System
15STEP 4: Identify the indirect costs associated with each cost-allocation
base-
As we see in step 3 &4 that managers first identify cost allocation bases and then
identify the costs related to each cost allocation base, not the other way round. Thats
because firstly the cost driver must be understood, the reasons why costs are being
incurred (for example, setting up machines, moving materials or designing jobs), before
they can determine the costs associated with each cost driver. The reason for not doing
step 4 before step 3 is that there is nothing to guide the creation of the cost pools. As a
result, the cost pools created may not have cost allocation bases that are cost drivers of
the costs in the cost pool.
STEP 5: Compute the Rate per Unit of each cost allocation base used to
allocate indirect costs to the job-
For each cost pool, the actual indirect cost rate is calculated by dividing actual
total indirect costs in the pool by the actual total quantity of the cost allocation base. The
rate per unit of actual manufacturing overhead is calculated as follows:
Actual manufacturing overhead rate= actual manufacturing overhead costs
Actual total quantity of cost allocation base
STEP 6: Compute the indirect costs allocated to the job-
The indirect costs of a job are computed by multiplying the actual quantity of
each different allocation base (one allocation base for each cost pool) associated with
the job by the indirect cost rate of each allocation base which was computed in step 5.

ADVANTAGES OF JOB-COSTING SYSTEM
1. It provides detailed analysis of costswhich enable the management to determine
the operating efficiency of the different factors of production.
2. It helps in comparing the two set of works and hence it is of great use while
deciding on the efficiency of the departments within an organization.
3. Since precise order is to be completed by the company can allocate the resource
according to orderand hence there is no chances of any spoilage and hence it saves
lot of money for the company.
4. Company can know precisely how much profit it madefrom the completion of the
order immediately after completing it.
5. It lays down the standard for future similar contacts so that company can follow
those standards and complete the next similar jobs effectively and efficiently.

DISADVANTAGES OF JOB-COSTING
SYSTEM
1. Job costing is very expensive as more clerical work is involved in identifying each
element of cost with specific department and/or jobs.
2. The costs are ascertained, even compiled promptly, are historical as they are
compiled after incidence.
3. The costs compiled under job costing system represent the cost incurred under
actual conditions of operation. The system does not have any specific basis to indicate
what the cost should be or should have been, unless standard costing is employed.
4. With the increase in clerical processes, chances of errors are enhanced.
5. In case of inflation, comparison of cost of a job for one period with that of another
becomes meaningless. Distortion of cost occurs even when the batch quantities are
different.

20STEPS IN PROCESS COSTING SYSTEM
STEP 1: Summarize the flow of physical units- the first step of accounting
provides a summary of all units on which some work was done in the department during
the period. Input must equal output. This step helps in determining the lost unit during
the process. The basic relationship may be expressed in the following equation:
Beginning inventory + Units started in the period = Units completed and
transferred out + Ending inventories
STEP 2: Compute output in terms of equivalent units- In order to determine theunit costs of the product in the processing environment, it is important to measure the
total amount of work done during an accounting period. A special problem arises in
processingindustries in connection with how to deal with work still in process, that is,
work partially completed at the end of the period. The partially completed units are
measured on an equivalent whole unit basis for process costing purposes.
Equivalent units are measured on how many whole units of production are
represented by the units completed plus the units partially completed.
STEP 3: Summarize total cost to be accounted for by cost categories- This
step summarizesthe total cost assigned to the department during the period.
Step 4: Compute the unit cost per equivalent unit-The unit cost per equivalent
unit is computed using following formula:
Total cost incurred during the period
Unit Cost =
Equivalents unit of production during the period
Step 5: Apply total costs to units completed and transferred out and to
units in endingwork in process

21Weighted Average Method
Weighted Average method blends together units and costs from the current
period with units and costs from the prior period. In a weighted average method the
equivalent units of production for a department are the number of units transferred to
the next department of finished goods plus the equivalent units in the department's
ending work in process inventory.
Example: Following is the data from Shaping and Milling department, one of thedepartments at Five Star Company
Units Materials Conversion
Work in process, May 1
Units started in production during MayUnits completed in May and transferred to the
next department
Work in Process, May31
2005,0004,800400
55%
100%*40%
30%
100%*25%
*It is always assumed that units transferred out of a department are 100% complete with
respect to the processing done in that department.
Note that the May1 beginning Work in Process is 55% complete with respect to
materials costs, and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. This means that
55% of the materials costs required to complete the units in the department has already
been incurred. Likewise, 30% of the conversion cost required to complete the units has
already been incurred.

Since Five Star's work in process inventories are at different stages of completion
in terms of amounts of materials cost and conversion cost that have been added in the
department, two equivalent unit figure must be completed. The equivalent units
computations are shown below.

FIRST-IN-FIRST-OUT (FIFO) METHOD:
The computation of equivalent units under FIFO method differs from weighted
average method in two ways. First the units transferred out figure are divided into two
parts. One part consists of the units from beginning inventory that were completed and
transferred out, and the other part consists of the units that were both started and
completed during the current period. Second full consideration is given to the amount of
work expended during the current period on units in the beginning work in process
inventory as well as units in the ending inventory. Thus, under the FIFO method, it isnecessary to convert both beginning and ending inventories to an equivalent unit basis.
For the beginning inventory, the equivalent units represent the work done to complete
the units; for the ending inventory, the equivalent units represent the work done to bring
the units to a stage of partial completion at the end of the period (the same as with the
weighted average method). The formula for computing equivalent units of production is
more complex under FIFO method than under weighted average method.
Formula for Calculating Equivalent UnitsFIFO method:
Equivalent Uni ts of Product ion = Equivalent uni ts to complete beginninginventory* + Uni ts started and com pleted dur ing the per iod + Equivalentuni ts inending work in process inventory
The equivalent units of production can also be determined as follows:
Equivalent Uni ts of Product ion = Uni ts transferred out + Equivalent uni ts in
ending work in process inventory Equivalent units in beginning inventory.

26EXAMPLE OF AN AREA WHERE PROCESS
COSTING IS APPLIED
A common example of an industry where process costing may be applied is "Sugar
Manufacturing Industry".
The processes in this industry are
Cane Shredding
The cane is broken/cut into small pieces to enable easier movement through themilling machine.
Milling
The shredded cane is passed through rollers which crush them to extract cane
juice. [Similar to the cane juice extracted by the vendors who sell you sugar cane
juice.]
Heating and Adding lime
The extracted juice is then heated to make it a concentrate and lime is added to
the heated juice.
Clarification
Muddy substance is removed from the concentrate through this process
Evaporation
Water is removed from the juice by evaporation.

28COMPARISON OF JOB-COSTING AND
PROCESS-COSTING SYSTEM
DIFFERENCES
Job costing is used in industries where production is carried on according to
specific job order while process costing is used on continuous and mass production
industries where products are similar and of same specifications.
1. In job costing the basis of cost allocation is work order meaning the cost of each unitin production is separately identified while in process costing the basis of cost
allocation is on time basis meaning the total cost for production during the period is
spread over units produced because separate identity of units is lost due to
continuous production
2. In job costing there may well be work in progress at the end of accounting period
while in process costing there is always work in progress both at the beginning and at
the end of the accounting period.
3. In job costing one can calculate the costs and revenues after completion of the
particular job or order while in process costing revenue and costs can be calculated
only at the end of accounting period.
4. In job costing there is no transfer of work from one job to another job till there is
surplus production or when the work is completed while in process costing costs of
one procedure are transferred to costs of next procedure until the goods are entirely
manufactured.

29SIMILARITIES
Similarities between job order and process costing systems can be summarized as
follows.
1. Both systems have the same basic purposes-to assign material, labor, and
overhead costs to products and to provide mechanism for computing unit product
cost.
2. Both systems use the same basic manufacturing accountants, including
manufacturing overhead, Raw materials, Work in process, and Finished Good.
3. The flow of costs through the manufacturing accounts is basically the same in
both systems.
