On the other hand under the method, loss charged to the specific job, it will be noted
that the factory overhead rate was recorded at the original amount P11.00 (allowance
of P1.00 for spoiled work was not added). The remaining perfect units in the job will
absorb the loss on the spoiled, resulting in an increase in the unit cost
(152.400 _ )
(3,800 units = 40.10S/unit )
the increase in the unit cost (40.105 - 39.00 = 1.105) may be computed as follows:
Cost of spoiled (200 x 39.00) 7,800
Less: Amount recovered from sale (200 x 18) 3,600
Loss on spoiled goods
The loss on spoiled goods will be absorbed by the remaining good units (4,200
divided by 3,800 units = 1.105/unit).
TWO METHODS OF ACCOUNTING FOR DEFECTIVE MATERIALS
The accounting problem for defective units is the additional costs to be incurred in
reprocessing the units to convert them into perfect articles. There are two methods
available:
1. Charged to the specific job - same for spoiled units, if the reason for the defect is
the job itself, the additional costs incurred (materials, labor, and overhead) will be
charged to all units in the job.

The unit cost of the completed units increased from the original P39.00 to P41.00
(164,000 divided by 4,000 units). All units in the job will share in the cost incurred to
re-process the defective units.
ACCOUNTING FOR SCRAP MATERIAL
A cost accounting system should provide a method of costing and control for scrap as
it does for spoilage and defective units. When the amount of scrap produced exceeds
the norm, it could be an indication of inefficiency. A predetermined rate for scrap
should be prepared as a guide for comparison with the actual scrap those results. If
latge differences occur, management should find the reason and correct the problem.
Scrap materials have commonly been accounted for in either of the following ways.
1. If-the scrap recovered can be traced to a specific job, the entry is
Scrap/Scrap Materials xox
Work in Process XXX
The amount recovered for the scrap will be entered negative () on the materials
section of the job order cost sheet.
2. Ifthe scrap recovered are not traceable to a specific job, the entry is:

Waste exceeding a specified normal level (based on past experience) indicates
inefficiencies somewhere in the production process and signals management to take
corrective action.
Although the cost of disposing of waste materials is minimal as compared to the total
production costs, in some manufacturing and service corporations it may involve
significant expenditure. For example, a chemical manufacturer may have toxic waste
which requires special packaging before disposal and thus results in an expensive
disposal cost.
The cost of disposing of most type of waste is expected to increase significantly in the
near future as existing garbage dumps fill up and more elaborate e
fe and expensive forms
of disposal must be developed. ‘pensive fortChapter 7 Accounting for Materials

The Bedrock Company is a manufacturer of golf clothing. During the month, the
company cut and assembled 10,000 golf jackets. One hundred of the jackets did not
meet specifications and were considered “seconds.” Seconds are sold for P1,000.00
per jacket, whereas first quality jackets sell for P2,500,00. During the month, Work in
Process was charged for P3,600,000 of materials, P4,000,000 of labor, and factory
overhead is applied at 120% of direct labor (including allowance of 20% of direct
labor for spoiled units)
