selling price would be charged on the product and job

• Two method of estimation profit percentage are as follows:
i) Profit Mark Up
ii) Profit Margin

Profit Percentage on Job Costing


• Profit is based on cost
• It could be either production cost or total cost
• Usually the selling price charged based on profit mark
up is lower than the profit margin because profit
charged is lower
• Example:
• Total Cost RM100,000
• Profit is 20% mark up
• Profit = 20/100 x RM100,000 = RM20,000
• Selling Price = Total cost + Profit
= RM100,000 + RM20,000
= RM120,000

Profit Mark-up
• Profit is based on sales or selling price
• Usually the selling price charged based on profit margin is
higher than the profit mark up because profit charged is
higher.
• Example:
• Total Cost RM100,000
• Profit is 20% margin
• Profit = 20/80 x RM100,000 = RM25,000
• Selling Price = Total cost + Profit
= RM100,000 + RM25,000
= RM125,000

Profit Margin
• Batch costing a number of items are being
accumulated together instead as a single item.
These method is used where a batch of identical
units are manufactured.

• CIMA terminology defines a batch as a group of


similar articles which maintains its identity
throughout the production and it is treated as a
cost unit. Costs were accumulates as for job
costing in the batch cost card.

Batch Costing
• In order to identify the expenditure incurred on a job, a separate batch
cost card is established where each of the batch cost card is given for a
separate batch number.

• Batch cost card is a source document to record and summarize:


• Cost of material
• Cost of labour

• When the batch is completed, the cost per unit can be calculated by
dividing the total batch.
Cost per unit = Total Batch Cost
