job order cost system

A cost accounting system in which costs are assigned to each job or batch. - Important feature: each job has its own distinguishing characteristics - More precise in assignment of costs to projects than process costing

Predetermined Overhead Rate

A rate used to charge manufacturing overhead cost to jobs that is established in advance for each period. It is computed by dividing the estimated total manufacturing overhead cost for the period by the estimated total amount of the allocation base for the period.

Product costs become part of ________ and are expensed as cost of goods sold once the product is _________.

managerial costs

activities and processes that convert raw materials into finished goods

Non-Value-Added Activities

adds costs to or increases time spent on a product/service without increasing its perceived value, such as: - Manufacturing company: storage of inventory, moving inventory, inspections, fixing defective goods, machine repair - Service company: taking appointments, reception, bookkeeping & billing, traveling, ordering supplies, advertising

Activity Based Costing

allocates overhead to multiple activity cost pools and then assigns the activity cost pools to products & services by means of cost drivers

1. c 2. c 3. a 4. c 5. b 6. d 7. a 8. b 9. c 10. c

categorize as, (a) direct materials, (b) direct labor, (c) manufacturing overhead or (d) period costs. 1. Property taxes on the factory building. 2. Production superintendents' salaries. 3. Memory boards and chips used in assembling computers. 4. Depreciation on the factory equipment. 5. Salaries for assembly-line quality control inspectors. 6. Sales commissions paid to sell laptop computers. 7. Electrical components used in assembling computers. 8. Wages of workers assembling laptop computers. 9. Welding materials used on factory assembly lines. 10. Salaries for the night security guards for the factory building.

variable costs

cost that vary in total directly & proportionately with changes in the activity level - Ex: if activity level increases 10%, total variable increase 10% - Remain the same per unit at every level of activity

fixed costs

costs that remain the same in total regardless of changes in the activity level within a relevant range - Fixed cost per unit varies inversely with activity: as volume increases, unit cost declines, vice versa - Ex: property taxes, insurance, rent, supervisory salaries, depreciation on building & equipment

Generating a purchase order for handle bars used in their mountain bikes: *batch* First-shift factory supervisor's salary: *Facility* The salary of the design engineer who developed the newest model of road bike: *Product* Employee health insurance: *Facility*
