process-costing system? costs to masses of similar units.
Step 1
Identify the job that is the chosen cost object.
Step 2
Identify the direct costs of the job.
Step 3
Select the cost-allocation bases to use for allocating indirect costs to the job.
Step 4
Identify the indirect costs associated with each cost-allocation base.
Identify the seven steps in job costing.
Step 5
Compute the rate per unit of each cost-allocation base used to allocate indirect costs
to the job.
Step 6
Compute the indirect costs allocated to the job.
Step 7
Compute the total cost of the job by adding all direct and indirect costs assigned to the
job.
1. Identify Job
2. Identify direct costs
3. Select cost-allocation base

Distinguish between actual costing and Actual costing and normal costing differ in their use of actual or budgeted indirect-cost
normal costing. rates.
Direct Costs (Actual) Actual Direct Cost Rates x Actual Quantities of direct cost inputs
Direct Costs (Normal) Actual Direct Cost Rates x Actual Quantities of direct cost inputs
Indirect Costs (Actual) Actual INDirect Cost Rates x Actual Quantities of cost allocation bases
Indirect Costs (Normal) !!! BUDGETED INDirect Cost Rates x Actual Quantities of cost allocation bases
