ANSWERS TO QUESTI ONS
- (a) Cost accounting involves the measuring, recording, and reporting of product costs. A cost
accounting system consists of manufacturing cost accounts that are fully integrated into the general ledger of a company.(b) An important feature of a cost accounting system is the use of a perpetual inventory system that provides immediate, up-to-date information on the cost of a product.
- (a) The two principal types of cost accounting systems are: (1) job order cost system and
(2) process cost system. Under a job order cost system, costs are assigned to each job or batch of goods; at all times each job or batch of goods can be separately identified. A job order cost system measures costs for each completed job, rather than for set time periods.Under a process cost system, product-related costs are accumulated by or assigned to departments or processes for a set period of time. Job order costing lends itself to specific, special-order manufacturing or servicing while process costing is better suited to similar, large- volume products and continuous process manufacturing.(b) A company can use both types of systems. For example, General Motors uses process costing for standard model cars and job order costing for custom-made vehicles.
- A job order cost system is most likely to be used by a company that receives special orders, or
custom builds, or produces heterogeneous items or products; that is, the product manufactured or the service rendered is tailored to the customer or client’s requests, needs, or situation. Examples of industries that use job order systems are custom home builders, commercial printing companies, motion picture companies, construction contractors, repair shops, accounting and law firms, hospitals, shipbuilders, and architects.
- A process cost system is most likely to be used by manufacturing firms with continuous production
flows usually found in mass production, assembly line, large-volume, uniform, or relatively similar product industries. Companies producing appliances, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, rubber and tires, plastics, cement, petroleum, and automobiles utilize process cost systems.
- The major steps in the flow of costs in a job order cost system are: (1) accumulating the manufacturing
costs incurred and (2) assigning the accumulated costs to work done.
6. The three inventory control accounts and their subsidiary ledgers are:
Raw materials inventory—materials inventory records.Work in process inventory—job cost sheets.Finished goods inventory—finished goods records.
- The source documents used in accumulating direct labor costs are time tickets and time cards.
- Disagree. Entries to Manufacturing Overhead are also made at the end of an accounting period.
For example, there will be adjusting entries for factory depreciation, property taxes, and insurance.
- The source document for materials is the materials requisition slip and the source document for
labor is the time ticket. The entries are:
