 Manufactured to order
 Costs are traced or allocated
to jobs
 Separate cost records for
each distinct ‘job’ or batch
 Examples: Patients, printing,
buildings, patients, clients
Flow of costs is
 For products with differing
materials and similar
the same under
processes
all methods:
 Material costs are traced while RM → WIP →
conversion costs are allocated
FG → CGS
Overview of Job Costing
 Also called job order costing
 Appropriate for production of
 Tangible items—ships, bridges, cabinets, etc.
 Services—tax returns, lawn care, divorce cases, etc.
 Involves costs accumulated by ‘job’ usually for a
particular order or batch
• Normal costing used to apply MOH
– Applied using a predetermined OH rate based
on actual activity

Job Costing Accounting
 General ledger
 One WIP ‘control’ account
 Subsidiary ledger
 Used with job costing systems to track the
individual job costs
 Consists of multiple job cost sheets
 One account/job cost sheet for each job
 Used to track/capture costs of a job
 Reconcile at end of period
Totals of all costs posted
to each 'job' in the
subsidiary ledger

Total amounts posted to
the control account in the

Job Cost Example
Sanja Enterprises uses job costing and applies overhead based on machine hours.
Sanja’s budgeted annual information follows:
Direct labor cost
Factory overhead
Machine hours
14,800 hours @ $14.60 per hour
$248,492
8,875 machine hours
Actual data for Job #178
Direct materials requisitioned
$400
Direct labor hours
70 hours @ $15.20 per hour
Machine-hours
42 machine hours
Actual direct labor cost for all jobs for the entire year totaled $220,200. Actual annual
manufacturing overhead cost was $247,000. Actual machine hours for all jobs for
the entire year totaled 96,050. Show the calculation of the total cost of Job 178.
