Job costing is an order-specific costing technique used when each job is different and customized to a customer's specifications. It involves tracking direct costs like labor, materials, and machine time as well as indirect costs like overhead. Indirect costs are often estimated as a fraction of direct costs since jobs requiring more labor and materials will also use more resources like power. Job costing is applied in industries like construction, film, shipping, manufacturing, and services.

JOB COSTING Order-specific costing technique, used in situations where each job is different and is performed to the customer's specifications. Job costing involves keeping an account of direct costs (labor, machine time, raw materials) and indirect costs (overheads). Since both types of costs are usually closely related (a job requiring high input of labor and material is likely to consume more power, machine time, supervision time, inspection time, etc.) indirect costs may be applied as an estimated fraction of direct costs. Job costing methods are similar to contract costing and batch costing methods, and are used in construction, motion picture, and shipping industries, in fabrication, repair, and maintenance works, and in services such as auditing INTRODUCTION JOB COSTING Order-specific costing technique, used in situations where each job is different and is performed to the customer's specifications.
