Job costing enables all the specific aspects of each job to be identified. In contrast, the
processingofcheckingaccountwithdrawalsissimilarformanycustomers.Here,processcosting
canbeusedtocomputethecostofeachcheckingaccountwithdrawal.
44 Thesevenstepsinjobcostingare:(1)identifythejobthatisthechosencostobject,(2)
identify the direct costs of the job, (3) select the costallocation bases to use for allocating
indirectcoststothejob,(4)identifytheindirectcostsassociatedwitheachcostallocationbase,
(5) compute the rate per unit of each costallocation base used to allocate indirect costs tothe
job,(6)computetheindirectcostsallocatedtothejob,and(7)computethetotalcostofthejob
byaddingalldirectandindirectcostsassignedtothejob.

There is no under or overallocated overhead under actual costing because overhead is
allocated under actual costing by multiplying actual manufacturing labor costs and the actual
manufacturingoverheadrate.This,ofcourseequalstheactualmanufacturingoverheadcosts.All
actual overhead costs are allocated to products. Hence, there is no under or overallocatead
overhead.

Normal costing enables Anderson to report a job cost as soonas the job is completed,
assumingthatboththedirectmaterialsanddirectlaborcostsareknownatthetimeofuse.Once
the900directlaborhoursareknownfortheLagunaModel(June2007),Andersoncancompute
the$187,726costfigureusingnormalcosting.Andersoncanusethisinformationtomanagethe
costs of the Laguna Model job as well as to bid on similar jobs later in the year. In contrast,
Anderson has to wait until the December 2007 yearend to compute the $180,526 cost of the
LagunaModelusingactualcosting.
Although not required, the following overview diagram summarizes Anderson

overhead is allocated by multiplying the actual amount of the allocation base by the budgeted

A homogeneouscostpool isonewhereall costshavethe sameora similar causeand

that all its manufacturing overhead cost items are not homogeneous. Specifically, those in the
MachiningDepartmenthaveacauseandeffectrelationshipwithmachinehours,whilethosein
the Finishing Department have a causeandeffect relationship with direct manufacturing labor
costs. Solomon believes thatthe benefits of usingtwo cost pools (more accurate product costs

Theproblemstheletterhighlights(assumingitiscorrect)includethefollowing:
a. Costsincludedthatshouldbeexcluded(designcosts)
b. Costs doublecounted (setup included as both a direct cost and in an indirect cost
pool)
c. Possible conflict of interest in Aerospace Comfort purchasing materials from a
familyrelatedcompany
StepstheNavycouldundertakeincludethefollowing:
(i) Useonlycontractorswithareputationforethicalbehavioraswellasqualityproducts
orservices.
(ii)Issue guidelines detailing acceptable and unacceptable billing practices by
contractors. For example, prohibiting the use of doublecounting cost allocation
methodsby contractors.
(iii)Issue guidelines detailing acceptable and unacceptable procurement practices by
contractors. For example, if a contractor purchases from a familyrelated company,
requirethatthecontractorobtainquotesfromatleasttwootherbidders.
(iv)Employauditorswhoaggressivelymonitorthebillssubmittedbycontractors.
(v)Askcontractorsfordetailsregardingdeterminationofcosts.
