Cost and Management Accounting (Com704)

Job Order Costing
Chapter# 5
Definition: The job order cost procedure keeps the costs of
various jobs or contracts separate during their manufacture or
construction.
This method is applicable to job order work in factories,
workshops, and repair shops, work by builders, construction
engineers, shipbuilders, and printers.
The cost unit is the job, the work order or the contract, and the
records will show the cost of each.
Job Order Cost Sheets:
In job order costing, each job is an
accounting unit to which materials, labor and FOH costs are
assigned by means of job order numbers. The cost of each order
produced for a given customer or the cost of each lot to be placed
in stock is recorded on a summary sheet called Job Order Cost
Sheet of Cost Sheet.
