Basic Cost Accumulation and Assignment
  1. Cost Pool
    1. group of individual cost items
    2. Cost Allocation Base
      1. a factor that is a common with linking indirect cost to cost object
      2. Job Costing System
        1. cost assigned to distinct unit, batch, product
          1. Identify cost object, find direct, indirect, cost allocation base, find per unit, assign costs
            1. Add direct and indirect cost to get job cost
            2. key source documents
              1. job cost record
                1. materials requisition record
                  1. labour time record
                2. Process Costing System
                  1. cost object is masses of identical units
                    1. uses broad averages
                      1. conversion cost
                        1. manufacturing costs other than direct material
                        2. Find physical units, eq units, compute eq unit cost, find total cost to account for, assign cost to completed and closing WIP
                          1. Weighted Average Process Costing
                            1. calculated eq unit cot of work done to date
                            2. FIFO vs WA
                              1. FIFO separates work done between diff periods
                              2. Transferred in Cost
                                1. cost incurred in previous dept that are carried forward to next cycle
                                  1. other than transferred in costs, remember to include TiC from previous dept
                                    1. unit cost may fluctuate so in FIFO, they are ONE average cost
                                  2. Costing Methods
                                    1. Actual: Direct - Actual Indirect - Actual
                                      1. Normal: Direct - Actual Indirect - Budgeted
                                      2. POHR
                                        1. rate used to apply manufacturing overhead (MOH) to work in progress inventory
                                          1. POHR = Estimated MOH cost / Estimated Amount of Cost Driver
                                        2. Account for Over/Under Allocation of Cost
                                          1. Close to COGS
                                            1. Debit COGS
                                              1. Credit MOH Control for total allocated
                                                1. Debit MOH Allocated to undo previous lousy allocation
                                                2. Proration based on total amount of indirect cost allocated in closing balance
                                                  1. most accurate
                                                  2. Proration based on total closing balance
                                                    1. cheap
                                                  3. Hybrid Costing System
                                                    1. both job and process costing
                                                      1. operations costing
                                                        1. applied to batches of similar products
                                                          1. varies by a single design
                                                        2. Indirect Cost Allocation
                                                          1. Support Departments
                                                            1. maintains other dept
                                                            2. Single Rate Cost Allocation Method
                                                              1. all costs into ONE pool
                                                              2. Dual Rate Cost Allocation Method
                                                                1. classifies cost into one cost pool
                                                                  1. fixed sub-cost pool
                                                                    1. Variable sub-cost pool
                                                                  2. Operating Departments
                                                                    1. adds value to product/service
                                                                  3. Allocating Cost of Support Departments
                                                                    1. Direct Method
