Costs related to a particular cost object that cannot be traced to it in an
economically feasible (cost-effective) way.
Such as: Indirect materials, indirect labor and factory overhead.
Indirect Costs
Cost Pool _| Grouping of individual indirect cost items,
Cost-Allocation | The cost allocations base is a systematic way to link an indirect cost or group of
Base indirect costs to cost objects.
Remember that:
Cost Assignment: Is a general term for assigning costs, whether direct or indirect, to a cost object.
- Cost Tracing: is the process of assigning direct costs.
- Cost Allocation: is the process of assigning indirect costs.
The ideal cost-allocation base is the cost driver of the indirect costs because there is a cause-and-
effect relationship between the cost-allocation base and the indirect costs.
= Job-Costing and Process-Costing Systems:
Job-Costing System
In a job-costing system, the cost object is a unit
or multiple units of a distinct product or service
called a job. Each job generally uses different
amounts of resources.
The product or service is often a single unit,
such as a specialized machines, aircraft,
In a process-costing system, the cost object is
masses of identical or similar units of a product
or service. Such as: orange juice, soda cans,
chemical industries, food industries, electronic
industries, and vehicles.
In each period, process-costing systems divide
advertising and furniture. the total costs of producing an identical or

Allocated OH < ActualOH | AllocatedOH > ActualOH | AllocatedOH = Actual OH
+ + +
Under-allocated OH Over-allocated OH No Under or Over allocation
Also called, Under or Over Applied, Under or Over Absorbed.
How to calculate the under or over allocated:
Under-allocated (Over-allocated) OH = Actual OH Costs incurred — OH Costs Allocated
- Ifthe result is positive > Under-allocated,
- Ifthe result is negative > Over-allocated
= Methods for adjusting over or under allocated overhead in Job order costing:
There are 4 methods to deal with over or under allocated overhead as follows:
1. Write-off to COGS approach:
The under or over allocated overhead is simply written off to cost of goods sold.
2. Proration approach (ending balance):
To prorate (divide/allocate) the under or over allocated between cost of goods sold, work-in-
process, and finished goods based on their ending balances.
3. Proration approach (Allocated OH):
To prorate (divide/allocate) the under or over allocated between cost of goods sold, work-in-
process, and finished goods based on the amount of overhead allocated.
Note:
+ Adjusted Under-allocated
The Bal: After Adj = Bal: Pr i
e Balance After Adjustment = Balance before Proration * Division nier Home
4, Adjusted allocation rate approach:
All allocations are recalculated with the actual, exact allocation rate.
Under this method we have to follow the following steps:
1. To compute the percentage of over or under allocated overhead as follows:
ie Ainount of Over or Under Allocared)
ercentage oF Over or Under AMlocated ON The Total Allocated Overhead *
2. To compute total cost as normal
3. To adjust the allocated overhead as follows:
+ (Allocated OH x % of Under-allocated)
Adjusted Total Cost = Total Cost before adjusting * (hiiocsved OH x % of Overalloceted)
Page | 2Dr. Hanafy Important Notes ~ Ch 4:
© The Job Costing Method is used for distinct (unique) products.
‘* The Process Costing Method is used for identical products.
* Process Costing Method uses average cost but Job Costing Method traces and allocates costs to
distinct products.
© Cost Tracing: is the process of assigning direct costs,
* Cost Allocation: is the process of assigning indirect costs.
© Costs under process costing method are classified according to the time when they are incurred.
‘© Cost object under Job Costing Method is a job.
© Cost object under Process Costing Method is a batch.
Both Actual Costing and Normal Costing, trace direct costs to a cost object in the same way:
by using actual direct cost rates x actual consumption.
* Indirect costs are assigned to jobs using Indirect Allocation Rates, this rates (under normal
costing) should be calculated using longer periods (usually one year); because the shorter the
period, the grater is the influence of seasonal patterns on the amount of costs.
‘* Job costing system records the flow of costs for each product.
* under Job Costing System, Direct Materials (DM) and Direct Labor (DL) are traceable, and could
be assigned directly through Source Document.
©. Source document such as Material Requisition for DM, and Labor Time Record for DL.
The only difference between Normal Costing and Actual Costing:
- Normal Costing uses budgeted indirect cost rates calculated at the beginning of the year.
- Actual Costing uses actual indirect cost rates calculated at the end of the year.
© Under the Normal Costing, actual overhead cost will almost never equal budgeted cost.
- If Overhead allocated (applied) is less than actual overhead, the difference is under-
allocated (under-applied)
- If Overhead allocated (applied) is more than actual overhead, the difference is over=
allocated (over-applied)
* Over-allocated or Under-allocated will be eliminated (disposed) at the end of the year using three
methods:
1 Adjusted Allocation-Rate Approach: this method restates all overhead entries in the General
and Subsidiary Ledgers using actual rates instead of budgeted rates.
2- The Proration Approach (ending balance): spreads under or over allocated between cost of
goods sold, work-in process, and finished goods proration to ending balances (General
Ledger)
3+ The Write Off Approach: The under or over allocated overhead adjusted (eliminated)
(disposed) to COGS and this approach is used when the amount is small.
Page | 3Chapter “5 “
* Traditional Costing:
Traditional costing is the old way of costing in which simple costing systems is used to allocate
‘overhead costs broadly in an easy, inexpensive and reasonably accurate way.
+ Main Features of Traditional Costing:
1- One or few indirect cost pools.
2- One or few cost drivers is used to allocate overhead costs.
3- Broadly averages or spreads the cost of resources uniformly (equally) to cost objects.
4- Peanut-butter costing is used, therefore cost per unit is nearly an average cost.
5- Only one costing rate is used.
6- It results into product over-costing or under-costing.
Over-Costing Under-Costing
Over-costed products are the products that __| Under-costed products are the products that the

than the cost of resources they use.
© Product-cost cross-subsidization: means that if a company undercosts one of its products, it will
overcost at least one of its other products. Similarly, if a company overcosts one of its products,
it will undercost at least one of its other products.
* Refined Costing System: reduces the use of broad averages for assigning the cost of resources
to cost objects (such as jobs, products, and services) and provides better measurement of the
costs of indirect resources used by different cost objects.
ctivity-Based Costing (ABC
Refines a costing system by identifying individual activities as the fundamental cost objects.
ABC helps to get more accurate cost per unit by using more than one rate (Rate for each activity).
An activity is an event, task, or unit of work with a specified purpose—for example, designing
products, setting up machines, operating machines, or distributing products.
More informally, activities are verbs; they are things that a firm does.
© Steps of using ABC:
1- Identify the activities.
2- Compute the overhead costs for each activity.
3- Determine the relevant cost driver for each activity and its volume.
4- Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
5- Use activities’ overhead rates to compute the allocated overhead costs for each job (product).
Activity’s Overhead Costs
act Activity’s Allocation Base (Cost Driver)
s’ Overhead Rate
Page | 4Benefits of ABC:
a. Itavoids cost distortion (under or over costing).
b. Lead to more accurate costs.
c. Identifying value adding and non-value adding activities (value adding activities should
continue and non-value adding activities should be eliminated).
d. Ithelps in using activity-based management (ABM) and activity-based budgeting (ABB).
* Activity-based management (ABM) is a method of management decision making that uses
activity-based costing information to improve customer satisfaction and profitability.
We define ABM broadly to include decisions about pricing and product mix, cost reduction,
process improvement, and product and process design
* Signals that suggest that ABC implementation could help a firm:
2a. Significant amounts of indirect costs are allocated using only one or two cost pools.
b. All or most indirect costs are identified as output unit-level costs.
c. Products make diverse demands on resources because of volume, process steps, batch size,
or complexity.
4d. Products that a company is well-suited to make and sell show small profits; whereas
products that a company is less suited to make and sell show large profits.
. Operations staff have significant disagreements with the accounting staff about the costs of
manufacturing and marketing products and services.
* Choosing between Traditional or ABC Costing:
- Traditional Costing is more relevant if overhead costs are relatively small, small businesses,
or fewer products.
- ABC Costing: is more relevant if overhead costs are relatively high, large businesses, or
several different products.
= The four-part cost hierarchy:
A cost hierarchy categorizes various activity cost pools on the basis of the different types of cost
drivers, cost-allocation bases, or different degrees of difficulty in determining cause-and-effect
(or benefits-received) relationships. ABC systems commonly use a cost hierarchy with four levels
to identify cost-allocation bases that are cost drivers of the activity cost pools:
‘Are the costs of activities performed on each individual unit of a product or
service. (such as energy, machine depreciation, and repair). These costs
increase with the increase in units.
‘Are the costs of activities related to a group of units of a product or service

Page 15Hanafy Important Note:
Ch5:
Assignment of Direct costs to cost object is completely accurate but the assignment of Indirect Costs
is not completely accurate and the accuracy degree depends on the method used for assigning
overhead costs.
Methods of Applying Plant Overhead to Products:
1- Simple Methods
© Plant - wide OH rate:
°
°
© Departmental OH rat
Was used in ancient times, and there was no variety of goods, so the Indirect
costs were relatively small
it’s a simple method that uses one allocation base (one single rate) for the
whole plant (factory).
Its Manufacturing OH rate is calculated through dividing the total Plant OH
costs by the total allocation base
Every department has its OH cost pool and its selected allocation base, which is,
relevant to the cost driver (for each department separately).
Its Manufacturing OH rate is calculated through dividing the Department OH
costs by the allocation base for the department.
The calculated overhead allocation rate in each department would be used to
allocate each product with a share of overhead.
Both of these two methods are called Traditional product costing, broad averaging, or peanut butter
costing, because they broadly average or spread the costs uniformly to the cost object.
Using a single indirect-cost allocation rate distorts product costs, because there is an assumption
that all the support activities, affect all the products.
2- Complex Method
‘© Activity Based Costing: The ABC costing system eliminate cost distortions, as it
establishes cause & effect relationships with activities performed.
Three main reasons accelerated the need for refining a costing system:
1 - Increase in product diversity.
2- Increase in indirect costs.
3: Intense competition in product markets (the effect of over or under costing).

(True or False)
1. A job costing system is a grouping of individual indirect cost items.
2. Direct costs are costs related to a particular cost object that cannot be traced to that cost object in a
cost-effective manner.
Cost allocation is the process of distributing indirect costs to cost objects.
Direct costs are allocated to the cost object using a cost-allocation method.
The cost driver of an indirect cost is often used as the cost-allocation base.
The budgeted indirect cost rate is actual indirect costs divided by budgeted quantity of the cost
allocation base.
7. Proration is the spreading of under allocated or over allocated overhead among beginning work in
process, ending work in process, and finished goods.
Activity based costing system differs from traditional costing systems in the treatment of prime cost.
9. Activity-based costing (ABC) can eliminate cost distortions because ABC systems use single cost pool
for all overhead costs, thereby enabling simplicity.

Companies often use multiple cost-allocation bases to allocate indirect costs because indirect costs
have different cost drivers.
Grounds-maintenance costs incurred during the summer months will distort indirect-cost rates that
are computed monthly.
Direct costs are traced the same way for actual costing and normal costing,
Job costing information system is only used in non-manufacturing compat
Direct costs are assigned to cost objects through allocation.
If companies increase market share in a given product line because their reported costs are less than
their actual costs, they will become more profitable in the long run.
A refined costing system provides better measurement of the costs of indirect resources used by
different cost objects, no matter how differently various cost objects use indirect resources.
‘An ABC system with many activities can become overly detailed and unwieldy to operate.
Service-sustaining costs are the costs of activities that managers can't trace to individual services but
that support the organization as a whole.
Cost of acquiring reliable data is considered when choosing a cost-allocation base to allocate costs in
ABC systems.
Implementing ABC system involves use of different cost rates for different activities to compute
indirect costs of a product.
Implementing ABC system never demotivates employees.
ABC systems can’t be used in marketing decisions

Process costing:
A) allocates all product costs, including materials and labor.
8B) results in different costs for different units produces.
C)is commonly used by general contractors who construct custom-built homes.
D) is used exclusively in manufacturing.

True / False Questions
1) Each cost pool may have multiple cost allocation bases.
2) All costs other than direct materials and direct manufacturing labor are
classified as indirect costs.
3) Actual costing helps managers get information earlier and take corrective
measures to improve labor efficiency. - ‘|
4) A budgeted indirect-cost rate is computed for each cost pool using
budgeted indirect costs and the budgeted quantity of the cost-allocation base.
5) Product-cost cross-subsidization is very common when costs are uniformly
spread across various products.
6) Peanut-butter costing system is a more refined costing system compared to
activity-based costing system.
|
Page | 297) Direct tracing of costs reduces the amount of costs classified as indirect
costs.
8) In activity based costing systems, limiting cost-allocation bases to only
units of output strengthens the cause-and-effect relationship between the
cost-allocation base and the costs in a cost pool.
9) An effective activity-based cost system always ignores facility-sustaining |
cost drivers.
10) ABC systems attempt to trace more costs as indirect costs.
11) As ABC systems get very detailed and more cost pools are created, more
allocations are necessary to calculate activity costs for each cost pool, which
increases the chances of misidentifying the costs of different activity cost
pools. = _ _ _
12) Activity-based management refers to the use of information derived from
ABC analysis to analyze and improve operations,
