Computador has a manufacturing plant in Des Moines that has the theoretical capability to produce 258,000 laptops per quarter but currently produces 77,400 units. The conversion cost per quarter is $7,353,000. There are 64,500 production hours available within the plant per quarter. In addition to the processing minutes per unit used, the production of the laptops uses 8 minutes of move time, 18 minutes of wait time, and 6 minutes of rework time. (All work is done by cell workers.)
Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
