Review: Job-order costing vs. Process costing
A firm making built-to-order products typically use ___________ costing.
A firm mass-producing a single product typically use _________ costing.
Under job-order costing, product costs are accumulated by _______ to
get the average product cost for each unit.
Under process costing, product costs are accumulated by _______ to get
the average product cost for each unit.
Service companies typically use ______________ costing.
Both job-order costing and process costing are _______ costing systems.
Review: MOH Application in job-order costing
Manufacturing overhead is applied (allocated) to individual jobs
(work-in-process) based on a ___________ rate (POHR).
At the ________ of the period, calculate:
POHR = Estimated total MOH cost / __________ total activity level
________ the period, calculate:
Applied MOH = POHR * ________ activity level
At the _______ of the period, calculate:
_______ MOH - Applied MOH
to determine whether MOH was underapplied or overapplied.
Review: Job-Order Costing
1. If Applied MOH>Actual MOH, then MOH is ________ for the period.
If Applied MOH<Actual MOH, then MOH is __________ for the period.
2. What is the journal entry to apply MOH to jobs during the period?
3. What is the adjusting journal entry to close the overapplied
(underapplied) MOH to CGS at the end of the period?

Thought Questions
1. What effect will the year-end adjustment of
overapplied MOH have on a firm’s Cost of Goods Sold?
Gross Margin? Net operating income?
(choices: increase, decrease or unaffected)
2. What effect will the year-end adjustment of
underapplied MOH have on a firm’s Cost of Goods Sold?
Gross Margin? Net operating income?
Chapter 5: Cost Behavior
Objectives:
• Introduce further classification of Variable
costs and Fixed costs
• Analyze Mixed Costs
• Discuss High-Low Method and Cost Function
• Discuss the contribution format income

Activity
Review: Cost Behavior
Within the Relevant Range, how will each of the following
cost change as activity level increases (decreases)?
In Total
Variable Cost
Fixed Cost
Per Unit
True Variable Cost
DM Cost
For example, Direct Material is typically a true
variable cost because the amount used during a
period will vary in direct proportion to the level
of production activity.
Units Produced
Step-Variable Cost
Cost
Costs increase or decrease only in response to
fairly wide changes in activity.
Volume
Step-Variable Cost
Total cost increases to a
new higher cost for the next
higher range of activity
Cost
Total cost remains
constant within a
narrow range of
activity
Activity
Fixed Cost: Two types
Committed Fixed Cost
Discretionary Fixed Cost
Long-term, cannot be
significantly reduced in
the short term.
May be altered in the
short-term by current
managerial decisions
Examples
Examples
Depreciation on
Equipment;
Advertising; R&D;
Real Estate Taxes

Mixed Cost
A mixed cost has both fixed and variable
components. Consider the example of utility cost.
Total Utility Cost
Y
Variable Cost based
on the usage
Activity (Kilowatt Hours)
X
Fixed Monthly
Utility Charge
Mixed Cost
The total mixed cost line can be expressed
as an equation: Y = a + bX
Where:
Total Utility Cost
Y
Activity (Kilowatt Hours)
Y = the total mixed cost
a = the total fixed cost (the
vertical intercept of the line)
b = the variable cost per unit of
activity (the slope of the line)
X = the level of activity
X
Mixed Cost Example
TXU charges a fixed monthly fee of $20 plus $0.1 per kilowatt hour.
In March you used 2,000 kilowatt hours.
Q: 1) What is the amount of your electricity bill for March?
2) What is the average cost per kilowatt hours for March?
3) What will be the average cost per kilowatt hours for April if you
only use 1,000 kilowatt hours?
Practice…Hospital Costs

committed fixed?

Q: what can we say about a and b for each of the costs below
1) True variable cost; 2) Fixed Cost; 3) Mixed Cost
Example
For each of the costs below, please specify whether it is a Fixed Cost,
True Variable Cost, Mixed Cost, or Step Variable Cost?

Estimate Cost Function: the High-low Method
(1) Choose the two data points with the highest- and the
lowest- activity level: (XH, YH), (XL,YL)
(2) Set up the equations:
YH = a + b XH
YL = a + b XL
(3) Solve the equation for “a” (total fixed cost) and “b” (VC
per unit):
b = (YH-YL)/(XH-XL)
= change in cost / change in activity
a = YL – b*XL
Example
Sebolt recorded the following activity and costs for 4 quarters:

$5500
2

$4500
3

$6000

$2400
(1) Using the high-low method, estimate a cost function in the form of
Y=a+bX
(2) What is total fixed cost and per unit variable cost?
(3) What will be the total cost if we increase the production level to
150 units?
