...each period, with each job having different production requirements. 2. Costs are accumulated by individual job. 3. Job cost sheet is the key document controlling the accumulation of costs by a job. 4. Unit costs are computed by job on the job cost sheet (Similarities between Job Order and Process Costing System, nd). Process Costing: 1. A single product is produced either on continuous basis or for long periods. All units of product are identical. 2. Costs are accumulated by departments. 3. The department production report is the key document showing the accumulation and disposition of costs. 4. Unit costs are computed by department on the department production report (Similarities between Job Order and Process Costing System, nd). The job order cost system is most suitable when the products differ in types of material and work performed. Thus, each product is made according to the customer's specifications and the price quoted is closely tied to estimated cost. Examples of types of companies which might use job order costing are printing companies and shipbuilding firms (Fletcher, nd). The process cost system is commonly used where products are manufactured under mass production methods or by continuous processing. Industries using process costs are paper, steel, chemicals, and textiles. Assembly-type processes such as washing machines and electrical appliances would also use process costs (Fletcher, nd). Job order costing system makes since for my company to...

...to allocate funds of $158000 to different advertising alternatives in a way that will maximise the impact achieved. This particular model can be used for determining how much funds should be allocated, considering the constraints, to each advertising medium in order to optimise average impact. It also helps in finding out the total and individual costs of advertisements. Layout of model (in blocks): 1) Requirements- minimum and maximum amount of ads required can be entered in this block for each advertising medium. The Cost per unit of each medium is also entered in the requirements area. 2) Resources available- This is the funds available section and would act as a constraint so the advertisements price doesn’t increase the funds available. 3) Calculation area- when solver is run this part of spreadsheet shows the number unit of advertisements that should be bought and their total cost price 4) Report area that tells the impact of each advertisement and the average impact. Instructions: 1) Enter the variable minimum and maximum amount of ads required for each type of advertising and their variable cost prices respectively. All three have to be allocated in their respective columns B,C and D.

Discretionary Fixed Costs (also known as Managed Fixed Costs) usually arise from annual decisions by management to spend in certain fixed costs. There are basically 2 differences between Discretionary and Committed Fixed Costs; 1) The planning horizon for Discretionary Fixed Costs is fairly short-term, usually a single year; and 2) Discretionary Fixed Costs can be cut for short periods of time with minimal damage to the long-run goals of the organization.

...manufacturing overhead consists of costs that cannot be practically traced to jobs. Therefore, if these costs are to be assigned to jobs, they must be allocated rather than traced. 3-2 Job-order costing is used in situations where many different products or services are produced each period. Process costing is used in situations where a single, homogeneous product, such as cement, bricks, or gasoline, is produced for long periods. 3-3 The job cost sheet is used to record all costs that are assigned to a particular job. These costs include direct materials costs traced to the job, direct labor costs traced to the job, and manufacturing overhead costs applied to the job. When a job is completed, the job cost sheet is used to compute the unit product cost. 3-4 A predetermined overhead rate is used to apply overhead cost to jobs. It is computed before a period begins by dividing the period’s estimated total manufacturing overhead by the period’s estimated total amount of the allocation base. Thereafter, overhead cost is applied to jobs by multiplying the predetermined overhead rate by the actual amount of the allocation base that is recorded for each job. 3-5 A sales order is issued after an agreement has been reached with a customer on quantities, prices, and shipment dates for goods. The sales order forms the basis for the production order. The production order specifies what is to be produced and forms the basis for the job cost sheet. The job cost sheet, in turn, is used to summarize...

...Unit 1 Lecture This unit explores the general business environment, in the Prologue, and the reason for the existence of managerial accounting in Chapter 1. Managers are in need of information. Managerial accounting is the vehicle that satisfies that need. Without reasonable, valid, timely information companies will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to competing in the marketplace. Managers use the provided information to carry out three major activities: planning, directing and motivating, and controlling Planning involves the identification of alternative business plans. The plans that are most beneficial to the company should be reviewed and implemented if feasible. The implementation process involves budgets. Budgets are prepared under the direction of a controller, a manager in charge of the accounting department. Typically, budgets are prepared annually. We will learn more about budgets in chapter 7. Besides analyzing business alternatives managers must direct and motivate employees. As we know, unhappy, unguided employees can be detrimental to a business. I have worked for companies where one employee would stifle other employees to the point where he had to be fired. Productivity is paramount to profitability. In addition to managing personnel, managerial must keep the company running in an orderly fashion by analyzing daily sales reports, among other reports, to ensure there are no bottlenecks in production, falling sales within certain product groups...

...The Principles, Benefits and Compliance of Lean Accounting As a way to reduce costs, manufacturing businesses today are looking for a leaner approach to production and are focusing on the overall process of producing an item to eventually sell to a consumer. This process is called the value stream, which is defined in Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis as “the value-added activities needed to design, manufacture, and deliver a given product or product line to customers” (Horngren, Datar, & Rajan, 2014, p. 635). With the assistance of technology advancements to support with the communication of the different components of the value stream, processes have been developed, like Just in Time (JIT) production, that allow for the lean production of merchandise. Dan Woods describes this lean production process, in an article published in Forbes: “In a lean process, the demand signals pull the materials through the flow processes and the right number of products is created with as little waste as possible. When all the suppliers of materials are also making their processes lean, the result is that the entire supply chain is extremely responsive and efficient. “ (Wood, 2009) To go along with this lean production system, lean accounting was developed as “a costing method that focuses on value streams, as distinguished from individual products or departments, thereby eliminating waste in the accounting process” (Horngren, Datar, & Rajan, 2014, p. 635). This paper will summarize...

...than budget. Actual revenue is greater than budget. Actual costs are less than budget. Unfavorable occurs for the opposite: Actual production is less than budget. Actual revenue is less than budget. Actual costs are greater than budget. Static vs. Flexible Budgeting: Static is for a designated level of activity. Flexible budgeting can provide different scenarios (expected). Flexible budgeting adjusts what costs should have been based on actual level activity (actual). Standard Cost: expected or budgeted cost of materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead required to produce one unit of product (Unit Std Cost = Price Standard * Quantity Standard) Price Standard: price that should be paid per unit of input (such as pound of material). Input (Quantity) Standard: quantity of input allowed per unit of output (for example, pounds of material allowed per one unit of product). Standard Cost Sheet: calculates the total standard cost for one unit of product. Why Use Standard Costing? To improve planning and control. To facilitate product costing.

...CitySoft is focusing on cost, operational control, systems, and quality at the expense of company growth. CitySoft must understand its cost measurement structure, implement consistent quality control systems, understand pricing and financial data, and demand a level of control and consistency across the various locations of company in order to grow and remain profitable. A fixed-fee cost structure is imperative to maintain cost control, especially as clients routinely request changes without a formal mechanism to track its additional cost and process impact. Fixed-fee (fixed bid) projects require strong project management to keep projects profitable. Any added costs not captured in the initial contract fee will ultimately affect the bottom line. Without a thorough understanding of cost structure and project variation, it is nearly impossible to obtain a fixed-fee that can remain relevant throughout the duration of the project. 2. As a business model refinement strategy, CitySoft should begin to collect market related statistical data to decide what kind of business it wants to be: Internet service provider or custom consulting. Project management systems can be broadly categorized into two branches: project development, and maintenance service. On a one time basis, cost estimation for a new development project in fixed-fee format should include overhead, and for maintenance projects the time and material format would help to address CitySoft’s cost management system issues...
