Learning Objective 4
Distinguish actual costing
from normal costing.
4 - 17
Costing Systems
Actual costing is a system that uses actual
costs to determine the cost of individual jobs.
It allocates indirect costs based on the actual
indirect-cost rate(s) times the actual quantity
of the cost-allocation base(s).
4 - 18
Costing Systems
Normal costing is a method that allocates
indirect costs based on the budgeted
indirect-cost rate(s) times the actual
quantity of the cost allocation base(s).
4 - 19
Normal Costing
Assume that the manufacturing company budgets
$60,000 for total manufacturing overhead costs
and 2,400 machine-hours.
What is the budgeted indirect-cost rate?
$60,000 2,400 = $25 per hour
How much indirect cost was allocated to Job 650?
500 machine-hours $25 = $12,500

End-Of-Period Adjustments
How was the allocated overhead determined?
2,480 machine-hours $25 budgeted rate = $62,000
$65,100 $62,000 = $3,100 (underallocated)
4 - 46
End-Of-Period Adjustments
Actual manufacturing overhead costs of $65,100
are more than the budgeted amount of $60,000.
Actual machine-hours of 2,480 are more than
the budgeted amount of 2,400 hours.
4 - 47
End-Of-Period Adjustments
Approaches to disposing underallocated
or overallocated overhead:
1. Adjusted allocation rate approach
2. Proration approaches
3. Immediate write-off to Cost of Goods
Sold approach
2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
4 - 48
Adjusted Allocation
Rate Approach
Actual manufacturing overhead ($65,100)
exceeds manufacturing overhead allocated
($62,000) by 5%.
3,100 62,000 = 5%
Actual manufacturing overhead rate is $26.25
per machine-hour ($65,100 2,480) rather
than the budgeted $25.00.
2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
4 - 49
Adjusted Allocation
Rate Approach
The manufacturing company could increase
the manufacturing overhead allocated to
each job by 5%.
Manufacturing overhead allocated to Job 650
under normal costing is $12,500.
$12,500 5% = $625
$12,500 + $625 = $13,125, which equals
actual manufacturing overhead.
2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
4 - 50
Proration Approach
Basis to prorate under- or overallocated overhead:
total amount of manufacturing overhead
allocated (before proration)
ending balances of Work in Process, Finished
Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold
4 - 51
Proration Approach A
Assume the following manufacturing
overhead component of year-end
balances (before proration):
Work in Process
$23,500 38%
Finished Goods
26,000 42%
Cost of Goods Sold
12,500 20%
