Job Cost SheetJob Cost Sheet

• A job cost sheet is used to collect cost information for various jobs

• direct materials - requisition form• Direct labor - time sheets• Manufacturing Overhead is ALLOCATED on the job

cost sheet.

Manufacturing OverheadManufacturing Overhead• We allocate the overhead because we cannot

trace it• We first decide on a cost driver• We estimate the overhead• We estimate the level of the cost driver• We compute the predetermined overhead rate• We apply the overhead.

Job order costing

• We accumulate costs - direct material & direct labor in the Work in Process account until the batch is complete

• Manufacturing overhead is applied• Complete batch is transferred to Finished Goods

Manufacturing Overhead Control Account

• We accumulate actual Costs in the account - on the left side

• We apply overhead to the individual jobs (on the job cost sheet and right side of the t account.)

• This is an expense account so we need to get rid of the account

Predetermined Overhead Rate

• Determine the Appropriate Cost Driver• Estimate Manufacturing Overhead• Estimate the level of the Cost Driver• Compute the predetermined overhead rate =

Over Under applied

• The balance in Manufacturing Overhead has to go somewhere

• If it is just a small amount and we have sold most of what we made, we send it to Cost of goods sold

• Otherwise, we need to spread it between WIP, FG and CGS.
