Module 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE COST SYSTEM; JOB ORDER COSTING

Introduction

Management needs prompt cost information in the decision making process. In any type of organization, be it business,
political, religious or civic, it is imperative for management to be aware not only of its total costs and expenses, but also of
the specific product, department or activity for which they are incurred, costs per unit and per work unit of its products
and services, respectively, and of whether the amounts incurred are in accordance with the financial plans and standards.

COST DEFINED

- The cash or cash equivalent value sacrificed for goods and services that are expected to bring a current or future
benefit to the organization.
- Expired costs are called expenses. In each period, expenses are deducted from revenues in the income statement
to determine the period’’s profit.
- Loss – a cost that expires without producing any revenue benefit.

COST ACCOUNTING DEFINED

- An area of accounting concerned with cost determination and cost control.

- Following the flow of costs in a business entity, from purchase of materials to final conversion of finished goods
into cash or to rendition of services, cost data are accumulated for the purpose of determining costs per unit and
per work unit and estimating appropriate selling price.
- Cost data are analyzed and reported to management to serve as a basis in the decision making process.

PURPOSES OF COST ACCOUNTING

• Cost determination. This refers to accumulation of cost data by products, processes or services to be able to
arrive at unit cost or cost per work unit.

• Cost control. Standards are set for costs per unit and per work unit and are subsequently compared with the
figures per actual operations so that remedial measures may be adopted.

Cost accounting facilitates the performance by management of its planning and control functions. Cost standards are
established for materials, labor and factory overhead based on product design, time and motion studies, and analysis of
factory overhead. These standards subsequently serve as bases in measuring performance and as deterrents to pilferages
and unnecessary wastages of materials and inefficiency of manpower.

PLANNING AND CONTROL

One of the most important functions of cost accounting is the development of information which can be used by
management in planning and controlling operations.

- Planning o the process of establishing objectives or goals for the firm and determining the means by which
the firm will attain them.
o Cost accounting helps in the development of plans by providing historical costs that serve as basis for
projecting data for planning. Management can analyze trends and relationship among such data as an aid
in estimating future costs and operating results and in making decisions regarding the acquisition of
additional facilities, changes in marketing strategies, and obtaining additional capital.

- Control o The process of monitoring the company’s operations and determining whether the objectives identified
in the planning process are being accomplished.

COST ACCOUNTING AND OTHER FIELDS OF STUDY

The recording of the costs of a product or a service is part of financial accounting. The use of cost for valuation of
inventory and cost of goods sold for external reporting is also financial accounting. The use of cost data in choosing
between two or more alternatives is part of managerial accounting. Differential cost analysis is considered by others as a
form of applied microeconomics. Cost accounting provides data for use in decision models for finance, operations
management, and marketing. Cost accounting is also related to motivation and behaviour because it is used in planning

Page | 2
and performance evaluation. Finally, tools from statistics, mathematics, and computer sciences are used to perform cost
analysis.

USES OF COST DATA

Cost data provides management with a basis in making decisions and these may involve the following:
• Price setting. Selling prices are set based on desired profit and incremental costs.
• Choice of product line. A product may be dropped or added based on estimated contribution to company’s
income.
• Make or buy. The company may decide to buy its product instead of continuing to manufacture it depending on
the relevant costs involved.
• Contraction or expansion. A department, agency, branch or an affiliate may be closed or added based on the
estimated decrease or increase in revenue, costs and expenses.
• Temporary shutdown. Management may opt for temporary cessation of operations during slump seasons based
on estimated decrease in both revenue and costs.

CLASSIFICATION OF COSTS
1. Costs classified as to relation to a product
a. Manufacturing costs/ product costs

i. Direct materials

- materials that become part of a finished product and can be conveniently and economically traced
to specific product units.
- Examples:
Iron ore for steel
Sheet steel for automobiles
Flour for bread
- The way a company buys, stores, and uses materials is important.
Timely purchasing is important because if the company runs out of materials, the manufacturing
process will be forced to shut down. Shutting down production results in no products, unhappy
customers, and loss of sales and profits.
- Buying too many direct materials, on the other hand, can lead to high storage costs.
ii
. Direct labor costs

- Wages of machine operators and other workers involved in actually shaping the product.
- Include all labor costs for specific work performed on products that can be conveniently and
economically traced to end products.
- Indirect labor costs are labor costs for production related activities that cannot be conveniently and
economically traced to end products
- accounted for as part of factory overhead costs
- include the wages and salaries of
Machine helpers
Supervisors
Other support personnel

iii. Factory overhead

- A catchall for all the manufacturing costs that cannot be classified as direct materials or direct labor
costs.
- A varied collection of production – related costs that cannot be practically or conveniently traced
directly to end products.
- Also called
Manufacturing overhead
Factory burden
Indirect manufacturing costs

Page | 3
 Prime costs = Direct materials + Direct labor
Conversion costs = Direct labor + Factory overhead

b. Non-manufacturing costs/ period costs

i. Marketing or selling expense –

- Include all costs necessary to secure customer orders and get the finished product or service into the
hands of the customer
- Often referred to as order-getting and order-filling costs.
- Examples:
a. Advertising d. Sales commissions
b. Shipping e. Sales salaries c. Sales travel

ii. General or administrative expense

- Include all executive organizational and clerical expenses that cannot logically be included under
either production or marketing.
- Examples:
a. Executive compensation c. Secretarial
b. General accounting d. Public relations

2. Costs classified as to variability

Activity refers to a measure of the organization’s output of products or services. In specifying cost behaviour,
the managerial accountant often limits the description to a specific range of activity. This is called the relevant
range.

a. Variable costs
- Items of cost which vary directly, in total, in relation to volume of production.
- Cost per unit remains constant as volume changes within a relevant range.
- Examples:
a. Direct materials
b. Direct labor
c. Royalties
d. Commission of salesmen

b. Fixed costs
- Items of cost which remain constant in total, irrespective of the volume of production.
- Cost per unit decreases as volume increases, and increases as volume decreases.
- Examples:
a. Salaries of production executives
b. Depreciation of equipment computed on a straight-line basis
c. Periodic rent payments, insurance

c. Semi – variable costs

- Items of cost with fixed and variable components.
- Vary with the level of production, though not in direct relation to it, probably because part of the
cost is fixed while the rest is variable.
- Example:
a. Cost of electricity where there is a basic minimum charge plus a specified cost per
kilowatt hour above the minimum
3. Costs classified as to relation to manufacturing departments

a. Direct departmental charges

- Costs that are immediately charged to the particular manufacturing department(s) that incurred the
costs since the costs can be conveniently identified or associated with the department(s) that
benefited from said costs.

b. Indirect departmental charges

Page | 4
 - Costs that are originally charged to some other manufacturing department(s) or account(s) but are
later allocated or transferred to another department(s) that indirectly benefited from said costs.

4. Costs classified to their nature as common or joint

a. Common costs
- Costs of facilities or services employed in two or more accounting periods, operations, commodities
or services.
- Subject to allocation.

b. Joint cost
- Costs of materials, labor and overhead incurred in the manufacture of two or more products at the
same time.
- Major difficulty inherent to joint cost – they are invisible and they are not specifically identifiable
with any of the products being simultaneously produced. - Subject to allocation.
5. Costs classified as to relation to an accounting period

a. Capital expenditures
- Expenditure intended to benefit more than one accounting period and is recorded as an asset.
- The allocation of the cost to the different periods is
a. Depreciation for fixed tangible assets
b. Amortization for intangible assets
c. Depletion for wasting assets

b. Revenue expenditures
- Expenditure that will benefit current period only and is recorded as expense

6. Costs for planning, control and analytical processes

a. Standard costs
- Predetermined costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.
- Established by using information accumulated from past experience and data secured from research
studies.

b. Opportunity costs
- The benefit given up when one alternative is chosen over another.
- Not usually recorded in the accounting system.
- However, it is considered when evaluating alternatives for decision-making.
- If an asset can be used to perform only one function and cannot be sold or used in other ways, the
opportunity cost of that asset is zero.

c. Differential costs
- Cost that is present under one alternative but is absent in whole or in part under another alternative.
- Encompasses both cost increases and cost decreases between alternatives.

d. Relevant costs
- A future cost that change across the alternatives.
- Examples:
a. Cost of goods sold c. Commissions
b. Advertising d. Warehouse depreciation

e. Out-of-pocket cost
- Cost that requires the payment of money (or other assets) as a result of their incurrence.

f. Sunk cost
- A cost for which an outlay has already been made and it cannot be changed by present or future
decision.

g. Controllable cost

Page | 5
 - A cost is considered to be a controllable cost at a particular level of management if that level has
power to authorize the cost.
- Example:
a. Entertainment expense would be controllable by a sales manager if he or she had power
to authorize the amount and type of entertainment for customers.
b. On the other hand, depreciation of warehouse facilities would not be controllable by the
sales manager since he or she would have no power to authorize warehouse
construction.
THE COST SYSTEM
- One wherein flow of costs is accounted for in detail so that unit costs and inventory costs can be promptly
determined.
- It is effective when it ensures that the company benefits from all its expenditures, that is, costs incurred contribute
to the production of the desired quantity of goods and services.
- May be designed to accumulate costs by products or by departments or processes.
- Perpetual inventory method is used – involves the use of perpetual records showing the flow of costs or resources.
o For a manufacturing firm, cost of raw materials used, cost of completed units and cost of goods sold can be
readily determined and responsibility for inventories can be pinpointed based on records kept.
o The controlling accounts and the corresponding subsidiary records are as follows:

Controlling Accounts Subsidiary Records

Materials (Materials Control) –
Materials ledger cards
Used for all items of materials, whether direct or indirect.
Stores
Used for all items in the storeroom, whether raw materials, Stores ledger cards
factory supplies, store supplies, or office supplies.
Work in process Job order cost sheet – under job order costing
Used for costs charged to production Cost of production reports ( or departmental cost
sheets) – under process costing
Finished goods
Finished goods ledger cards
Used for all goods completed and ready for sale

The postings to the controlling accounts are as shown below:

Materials
Materials purchases Purchase returns
Freight in Purchase discounts
Returns of materials previously issued Materials issued

Work in Process
Materials, labor and factory overhead Cost of goods manufactured
charged to production

Finished Goods
Cost of goods manufactured Cost of goods sold
Cost of returned goods which were Goods returned to factory
previously sold for reprocessing

Flow of cost as reflected by postings to both controlling accounts and subsidiary records – Next page

Page | 6
Page | 7
Other controlling accounts

- They may be used under both periodic and perpetual inventory methods because they do not affect the inventories.
They are:
o Factory overhead control
o Selling expenses control
o General and Administrative Expenses Control
o These are supported by subsidiary records or analysis sheets.

Example: The company pays for the following: Factory supplies – P 600; factory repairs – P 500; store supplies – P 300;
and office supplies – P 200.

The journal entry and the corresponding postings to be made on subsidiary records would be as follows:

Subsidiary records Dr. Cr.

Factory Overhead Control 1,100.00
Factory supplies P600.00
Factory repairs 500.00
Selling Expenses Control 300.00
Store supplies 300.00
General and Adm. Exp. Control 200.00
Office supplies 200.00
Cash P 1,600.00

The footings per subsidiary records must tally with the balances per controlling accounts in the general ledger.

Chart of Accounts, Cost System

- Similar to that under the non-cost system with the exception of the account titles affecting cost of goods
manufactured and cost of goods sold.

The Factory Ledger

- When transactions are voluminous and/or the factory is far from the main office, manufacturing transactions are
preferably recorded in a factory journal and posted to the factory ledger.
o This requires the use of reciprocal accounts General Ledger (for the factory) and Factory Ledger (for the
main office) when a transaction affects accounts found in both books.
- Factory Ledger – refers to the book of final entry for manufacturing operations, or o the account title used by
main office in recording transactions affecting accounts found in both the books of the factory and the main
office.
- The accounts carried on factory books are those used in recording manufacturing operations.
- Factory fixed asset accounts – may either be in the books of the factory or the main office. o If the problem is
silent, they are assumed to be on factory books.
o The accounts that must be on books of the factory are:
▪ Materials ▪ Plant, Property and Equipment ▪ Factory Overhead Control
▪ Work in Process ▪ Accumulated Depreciation ▪ Factory Overhead Variance ▪ Finished
Goods ▪ Applied Factory Overhead ▪ General ledger

o The factory may have its own petty cash fund so that this account may also be found on its books
- All functions other than manufacturing are taken care of by main office so that o Disbursements o collections
o sales and the corresponding expenses involved are recorded on the main office books.

Transfer Voucher

- an intra-company form used to inform the factory when transactions are entered into by the main office but the
same affect manufacturing accounts
- Example
o The main office buys machinery for the factory for P 30,000. Factory fixed assets are carried on factory
books.
▪ a transfer voucher is prepared by the main office informing the latter of the transaction and to the effect that
the factory ledger is debited by the main office for P 30,000. ▪ Based on this, the entries on both books are:

Main Office Books Factory Books

Factory ledger P 30,000 Machinery P 30,000
Vouchers Payable P 30,000 General Ledger P 30,000

11
o The factory effects delivery of goods costing P 50,000 to customers based on sales orders issued by the
main office.

Page | 12
 ▪ Factory issues a transfer voucher informing the main office of such delivery and debits the account general
ledger.
▪ Entries would be as follows:

Main Office Books Factory Books

Cost of Goods Sold P 50,000 General Ledger P 50,000
Factory Ledger P 50,000 Finished Goods P 50,000
- To facilitate the recording of similar transactions, it would be advisable to determine
first what entry should be made assuming there is only one journal to be used. If
one of the accounts involved is on the other book, then, the reciprocal accounts are
used.
- Factory Ledger account – appears on main office books o Usually has a debit
balance
- General ledger account – on factory books o Usually has a credit balance
- Prior to preparation of financial statements, a work sheet is prepared to combine the
accounts and on this work sheet, the inter-office accounts are eliminated by a working
paper entry.
o Assuming that the adjusted balance of the inter-office accounts is P 36,000, the elimination per working paper
entry would be as follows:
General Ledger P 36,000
Factory Ledger P 36,000

JOB ORDER COSTING AND PROCESS COSTING

As stated earlier, cost accumulation may be by products, departments or processes. In
other words, it may be by job order costing or by process costing.

Job order costing

- A system for allocating costs to groups of unique product.
- Applicable to the production of customer specified products such as the manufacture of special machines.
- Each job becomes a cost center for which costs are accumulated.
- A subsidiary record (job cost sheet) is needed to keep track of all unfinished job (work in process) and finished jobs
(finished goods) - Examples:
o Houses o o Television sets
Boats o o Automobiles o
Pianos o Doors o Furniture
Radios

Process costing
- Refers to the costing procedure whereby costs are accumulated by departments or processes.
- Each processing department becomes a cost center.
– Adopted for products manufactured under conditions of continuous processing so that they are not distinguishable from
one another (or are homogeneous).
- Examples:
o Beverages
o Flour o
Chemicals o
Minerals
- Cost accumulation is done on cost of production reports (or departmental cost sheets)

The differences between job order costing and process costing may be summarized as follows:

Job order costing Process Costing

Nature of products:

Page | 13
 Heterogeneous Homogeneous

Cost accumulation:
By job orders By departments or processes

Reporting
By job orders By departments or processes

When is unit cost computed:

Upon completion End of costing period (usually a month)

Unit cost computation:

Production costs per job Departmental costs
Number of units Equivalent units of production

Subsidiary record for work in process:

Job order cost sheets Cost of production reports (or departmental cost sheets)

JOB ORDER COSTING

Job order costing
- costing by products, job or work orders, or by contracts.
- The cost unit is the job and each job order is assigned a number for clear and brief identification.
- All costs directly traceable to each job (direct materials and direct labor) are charged to it directly.
- Factory overhead – charged to each job at a predetermined rate periodically or upon completion.
- Cost per unit of the products in each job = accumulated cost / number of units.
- Cost accumulation – done with the use of cost sheets (or job order cost sheets).
- Each job order is provided with a cost sheet so that if there are ten jobs in process, there must be ten cost sheets.
o Each of them provides columns for materials cost and direct labor cost and space or column for factory overhead.
▪ Materials issued (per materials requisition form) and labor hours expended (per labor time tickets) for a job
– posted to the corresponding work sheet.
• Thus, materials requisition and labor time tickets (totalled daily or weekly and tallied with the payroll)
should contain the job order numbers to which they pertain.

CHARACTERISTICS OF JOB ORDER COSTING

1. It collects all manufacturing costs and assigns them to specific job or batches of product.
2. It measures costs for each completed job, rather than for set time periods.
3. It uses just one Work in Process Inventory Control account in the general ledger. This account is supported by a
subsidiary ledger of job order cost cards or sheets for each job in process at any point of time.

ELEMENTS OF PRODUCT COST IN JOB ORDER COSTING

Elements of product cost – materials cost, labor cost and factory overhead.

For job order costing, materials and labor costs refer to direct materials cost and direct labor cost, respectively.

Direct materials cost – refers to those items that form part of the finished product and which can be measured and
directly charged to the product
• Examples: leather for shoes, lumber for furniture and metal parts for automobiles

Direct labor cost – refers to cost of labor expended in the manufacture of a product and which can be directly charged to
the product
Factory overhead – also known as manufacturing expenses or burden.
- Refers to the indirect element of cost
- Includes all manufacturing cost not classified as direct materials or as direct labor -
Examples:

Page | 14
 oIndirect materials – those needed for the completion of the product but the consumption of
which with regard to the product is either so small or allocation would be too complex so that
for convenience, it is treated as an indirect product cost. ▪ Examples: glue, tacks and polish
in the manufacture of shoes
o Indirect labor – refers to cost of manpower which cannot be identified as pertaining to a
particular product.
▪ Examples: salaries and wages of forement, timekeepers and utility men.
o Factory supplies
o Depreciation of factory building o Factory insurance

Note: Distinctions between direct and indirect materials and between direct and indirect labor are not observed in process
costing inasmuch as under the latter, costs accumulation is by departments or processes and not by products or jobs.

THE JOB ORDER COST SHEET

- The subsidiary record for “work in process” so that for all postings to the latter, corresponding postings must also
be made to the corresponding cost sheets

- Forms of Cost sheets – cost sheets may vary in form depending on desired additional information such as the
items, quantity and unit cost of material, number of labor hours, bases used in charging overhead and the
departments in which the different cost items are charged.

- When overhead is charged to jobs upon completion, there exists a difference between work in process per general
and the total of the accumulated costs per cost sheets. This difference is equal to the amount of overhead not so
applied on the cost sheets yet.

 ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES – JOB ORDER COSTING

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES FOR MATERIALS

- In manufacturing enterprises, the common practice is to record all materials and supplies in one control account,
Materials or Stores.
- Procedures that affect the materials account involve the:
1. Purchase of materials and supplies
As materials are purchased, the amount is posted on the Material control account and at the same time the
purchase is also entered on an individual materials ledger card/ stock card.

Entry: Purchase of materials

Materials/ Stores xxx

Vouchers Payable xxx
To record the purchase of materials

• An entry is made on the stock card under the Received section

Entry: Return of materials

Vouchers Payable xxx
Materials/ Stores xxx
To record the return of materials to vendor

• An entry is made on the stock card under the Received section enclosed in parenthesis to
indicate reduction in quantity

2. Issuance of materials and supplies

When a job is started, the materials needed for the job are issued based on the materials requisitions
prepared by the employees. A copy of the requisition is given to the storekeeper, which will serve as the
basis for the materials to be issued. The job order number is shown on the materials requisition together
with the specifics on type and quantity of materials required by each job. The quantity, unit cost, and total
cost of each of the materials are entered on the issued section of the stock card.

Entries: Issuance of Direct materials

Work in process xxx
Materials xxx
To record the issuance of direct materials
• An entry is made on the stock card under the Issued section and also on the cost sheet – Materials.

Entry: Issuance of Indirect Materials

Factory overhead control xxx
Materials xxx
To record the issuance of indirect materials
• An entry is made on the stock card under the Issued section and also on the overhead analysis
sheet.

The material control account may be summarized as follows:

MATERIALS
Inventory beginning Cost of direct materials issued
Purchase of materials Cost of indirect materials issued
Freight-in Cost of materials returned to supplier

Page | 18
 Cost of excess materials returned from factory

- The balance of the Materials account represents the Materials inventory at the end of the period under consideration.
- The amount should be equal to the total of the balances of all the material stock cards.

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES FOR LABOR

The accounting procedures for labor may be divided into two distinct phases:
1. Collection of payroll data, computation of earnings, calculation of payroll taxes, and payment of wages
2. Distribution and allocation of labor costs to jobs, departments, and other cost classifications.

Clock cards/time records

- Used to record the days or hours worked by each employee.
- Used as the basis in computing the gross earnings of employees who are paid hourly wages.

Time tickets
- Prepared for each worker to determine the time spent for each job as basis in determining the amount to be charged to
direct labor cost and indirect labor cost.
- For various jobs, they are sorted, priced and summarized , and the time ticket hours should be reconciled with the
clock card hours.

• At regular intervals, usually daily or weekly, the labor time and labor cost for each job are entered on the
job order cost sheets. For each payroll period – weekly, every two weeks, or monthly – the summary of
employees’ earnings and the liability for payment is journalized and posted to the general ledger.

Payroll xxx
Withholding Tax Payable xxx
SSS Premium Payable xxx
PhilHealth Contribution Payable xxx
Pag-ibig Funds Contributions Payable xxx

- Entry: Payment of Payroll

Vouchers Payable xxx

Cash xxx

- The Work in Process account is used to charge the jobs with the direct labor cost.
- Factory overhead control is charged for the indirect labor cost incurred.
- Tax withheld is computed based on the table provided by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
- For the SSS Premiums and Medicare Contributions, the table is provided by the Social Security System.
- The clearing account for the total wages due to the factory personnel is the payroll account summarized as follows:

PAYROLL
Total wages and salaries earned by factory personnel Total payroll during the payroll period at the same time
during the payroll period debiting work in process for direct labor and overhead for
indirect labor

- The account used to accumulate the liability for payroll or factory overhead is the Accrued Factory Payroll summarized
as follows:

ACCRUED FACTORY PAYROLL

Total amount of wages paid to factory personnel at the Balancing beginning
time crediting accounts payable or cash

ACCOUNTING FOR FACTORY OVERHEAD

- There are two accounts used:
o Factory overhead control – used to accumulate actual overhead incurred
o Factory overhead applied – used to accumulate estimated factory overhead applied to production ▪
A predetermined rate is used ad this is computed using any of the following as a base:
• Units of production
• Direct materials cost
• Direct labor hours
• Direct labor cost
• Machine hours
▪ A predetermined factory overhead rate computed may be used for all departments in the company
(blanket rate) or a rate may be computed for each department to fit the nature of the operations of
the department (departmentalized rate)

Why do we need to use estimated factory overhead (factory overhead applied)?

- Because a the time the overhead is needed for costing of jobs completed, the actual overhead is not yet available (actual
will be known only at the end of the month).
- The computation of the cost of each job will be done upon the completion of the job and this may be during the first
week, second week, or third week of the month, and at this time, the actual overhead is not yet available because of the
items included in the actual overhead will be known only at the end of the month.
- As items in the factory overhead control account are incurred, the Factory Overhead Control account is debited.

Entry: Applied factory overhead entered on the job order cost sheet
Work in process xxx
Applied Factory Overhead xxx
- Some actual overhead costs, such as indirect materials, indirect labor and payroll taxes are debited to Factory Overhead
Control as they are incurred.
- Other overhead costs, such as depreciation and expired insurance are debited to Factory Overhead Control when
adjusting entries are recorded.
FACTORY OVERHEAD CONTROL
Cost of indirect materials and supplies issued from the Total debit footing at the end of the accounting warehouse at
the same time crediting materials period when closing the books

Cost of indirect labor at the same time crediting payroll

Cost of indirect expense purchased from outsiders

Cost of other indirect expense incurred by the company

Factory overhead applied – account used for accumulating the total overhead charged to production during period.

FACTORY OVERHEAD APPLIED

Total credit footings at the end of the accounting period Cost of overhead allocated to production and computed
upon closing the books by multiplying the actual factory being used during the
period by the predetermined rate, at the same time debiting
work in process

Over / under applied overhead – the difference between the actual overhead incurred and the applied overhead.

Page | 20
 OVER/UNDER APPLIED OVERHEAD
Difference between the actual factory overhead and the Difference between the actual factory overhead and the
applied overhead when actual is more than the applied applied overhead when the applied is more than the
actual

- Under applied factory overhead (unfavourable)

• Actual factory overhead > Applied factory overhead

- Over applied factory overhead (favourable)

• Applied factory overhead > Actual factory overhead
• Deduction from the Cost of Goods Sold in the Income Statement

Factory Overhead Charged to Production

- Accumulation of factory overhead incurred (or actual factory overhead) takes time especially in cases wherein
adjustments are done on an annual basis.
- Instead of charging actual factory overhead to production, the practice of charging overhead based on predetermined
rates is adopted.
o Account used may either be Applied Factory Overhead or Factory Overhead.
o At the end of the period, both applied factory overhead and factory overhead control are closed and the
difference is called the factory overhead variance which may be overapplied (credit) or underapplied
(debit).
▪ Example: Factory Overhead Charged to production is P 25,760 and factory overhead incurred amounts to P
26,000. The entries would be as follows:
• To charge overhead to production:
Work in Process P 25,760
Applied Factory Overhead P 25,760
• To take up factory overhead incurred:
Factory Overhead Control P 26,000
Sundry credits P 26,000
• To close Applied factory overhead to Factory Overhead Control
Applied Factory Overhead P 25,760
Factory Overhead Control P 25,760

After this entry, Factory overhead control shall have a debit balance of P 240, the factory overhead variance. This is set up in
the following entry:
Factory Overhead Variance P 240
Factory Overhead Control P 240
• In the given example, Actual Factory overhead exceeds applied overhead so that the variance is a
debit ( underapplied, underabsorbed, or unfavourable).
• When Actual Overhead is more than Applied overhead, the variance must be a debit (underapplied,
underabsorbed or unfavourable).
• When Actual Overhead is less than Applied overhead, the variance must be a credit (overapplied,
overabsorbed or favourable).
• Factory Overhead Variance- preferably used so that both overapplied and underapplied variances
may be posted to the same ledger page.
• Instead of crediting “Applied Factory Overhead” in charging overhead to production, the credit may
be to “Factory Overhead Control”. This practice eliminates the need to close the former to the latter.
o Disposition of Factory
Overhead Variances.
▪ Factory overhead, in general, is treated as a period cost and is closed to cost of goods sold or to income and
expense summary.

Page | 21
 • However, when it is significant in amount, it implies an error in costing or that a wrong overhead
rate was used. In this case, the variance is treated as an adjustment to cost of goods sold and the
inventories of finished goods and work in process.

▪ In the example given in the preceding section, the variance is closed to cost of goods sold as follows:

Cost of Goods Sold P 240

Factory Overhead Variance P 240
▪ Based on the given entry, an unfavourable variance increases cost of goods sold and a favourable variance
reduces the same.

ILLUSTRATION:
The following information is provided by Bacolor Corp. For 2014:
2014
a. Direct materials issued:
Job order No. 14 ................................................ P 9,000
15 ................................................. 12,000
16 ................................................. 8,000
P 29,000

b. Direct labor costs:

Job order No. 14 ................................................ P 3,500
15 ............................................... 5,400
16 ............................................... 3,300
P 12,200

c. Factory overhead is charged to production at 60% of direct labor cost.

d. Job orders nos. 14 and 15 are completed.

The entries and corresponding postings to the work in process account and the cost sheets would be as follows:

Page | 23
a. Work in Process P 29,0000
Materials P 29,000
Direct materials issued.

b. Work in Process 12,200

Payroll 12,200

c. Work in Process 7,320 Applied Factory Overhead

7,320
Overhead charged at 60% of direct labor costs
d. Finished Goods 35,240 Work in Process
35,240
Jobs 14 and 15 completed

Per general ledger; the work in process account should have the following postings:
Work In Process
Direct materials 29,000 Cost of completed jobs 14 and 15 35,240
Direct labor 12,200
Factory overhead applied 7,320

Per cost sheets:

JOB ORDER NO.
14 15 16
Direct materials costs P 9,000 P 12,000 P 8,000
Direct labor costs 3,500 5,400 3,300
Applied factory overhead 2,100 3,240
Total factory costs P 14,600 P 20,640

- The ending balance of work in process is P 13,280 (or P 48,520 minus P 35,240). This must be the accumulated
cost of Job No. 16. However, per cost sheet for said job, the total is only P 11,300 (that is, P 8,000 + 3,300)
because of the non-application yet of factory overhead of P 1,980 (or 60% x P 3,300).

- Assuming that job order no. 16 is completed during the next period (or in 2015) after incurring additional direct
materials and direct labor costs of P 4,000 and P 2,000, respectively, the total factory cost of the job would be as
follows:
Job Order No. 16
Direct materials costs
2014 P 8,000
2015 4,000 12,000
Direct labor costs
2014 P 3,300
2015 2,000 5,300
Factory overhead applied (60% of labor cost of P 5,300) 3,180
Total factory cost P 20,480
The journal entries for 2015 would be as follows:
Work in Process P 6,000
Materials P 4,000
Payroll 2,000
Materials and labor costs
,
Work In Process 1,200
Applied Factory Overhead 1,200
Overhead charged at 60% of P 2,000 labor cost

Page | 24
 Finished Goods 20,480 Work in Process
20,480
Competed job order no. 16.
- It should be emphasized that although the total overhead charged to job order no. 16 in 2015 is the total of P
3,180, the journal entry is only for P 1,200 which is based on the current labor cost of P 2,000. Applied overhead
that corresponds to the 2013 labor cost is included in the 2014 entries.

Journal Entries, Perpetual and Periodic Inventory Methods

The journal entries under the perpetual inventory method differ from those under the periodic inventory method in the
treatment of transactions that affect the inventories, namely, those for finished goods, work in process and materials. The
entries are illustrated on the following pages:
