Five Step Approach To Job Costing 1Identify the cost object. 2Identify the direct cost categories for the job. 3Identify the indirect cost pools associated with the job. 4Select the cost allocation base for each indirect cost pool. 5Calculate the rate per unit of the allocation base to allocate indirect costs.

The Levi Strauss factory in Albuquerque makes jeans and Dockers. Each product line has its own production line on the factory floor. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the entire factory for 2003 were $1,200,000 and $1,100,000, respectively. Budgeted production for each product line was 500,000 units for the year (one million units for the factory in total). Actual production of jeans was equal to budget. However, actual production of Dockers was curtailed to 400,000 units, due to increased competition in the casual slacks market.

Assume that 500,000 direct labor hours were used in production in 2003, 200,000 for jeans, and 300,000 for Dockers. Calculate the overhead rate using direct labor hours as the allocation base, and using actual costs and actual labor hours.

Normal Costing There is nothing Normal about Normal Costing

Actual versus Budgeted Amounts Actual or budgeted rates for overhead. Actual or budgeted prices/rates of direct inputs. Actual quantities of direct inputs, or standard quantities based on actual production. Actual quantity of overhead, or standard quantity based on actual production.

Why Use Budgeted Amounts? Actual costs may not be known on a timely basis. Actual costs may be subject to short-run fluctuations. When actual O/H rates are used, production volume for one product affects the reported costs of other products. A system using budgeted numbers may be more economical.

The Levi Strauss factory in Albuquerque makes jeans and Dockers. Each product line has its own production line on the factory floor. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the entire factory for 1997 were $1,200,000 and $1,100,000, respectively. Budgeted production for each product line was 500,000 units for the year (one million units for the factory in total). Actual production of jeans was equal to budget. However, actual production of Dockers was curtailed to 400,000 units, due to increased competition in the casual slacks market.

Misapplied Overhead The use of budgeted overhead rates usually results in underallocated or overallocated overhead. Possible disposition of these variances include: 1) Restate to actual cost 2) Write off to COGS 3) Prorate between COGS & inventory 4) Treat as a period cost

Misapplied Overhead Restatement using actual overhead rates is preferred conceptually, but is not necessarily the most conservative. Restatement can result in higher net income and ending inventory than write-off to COGS when variances are unfavorable. Is there justification for treating unfavorable variances as a period cost?
