What about idle time or administrative time? One of the greatest disadvantages of the Job Order pricing method is that overhead cost is merely an estimate Other drawbacks include challenges coming from having several locations and assessing overhead costs in those instances, as well as measuring direct components, such as metals or food ingredients, when they become more complex to count (MSG Experts).” Process of making the dress a The designer and the bride discuss the idea of the dress Any girl has a picture of her dream wedding dress It is a dress that can hide the flaws and highlight the advantages of the bride's body Discussing and exchanging enthusiastically with the designer is the way that we prioritize serving for brides Besides, we also help advise and suggest basic fashion information so that the dress really suits the body and style of each bride b.Draw a sketch of the wedding dress From the wishes, the dresses will be sketched and conceptualized according to the bride's mentality The designer will create an overall drawing on paper about the wedding dress Accompanying the sketch is a preliminary description of the shape (the letter A, fishtail, 14 Manufacturing 750 000 11 910 000 160 000 238 200 overhead direct labor workshop direct labor hours direct labor rate total direct labor 400 20 000 000 000 overhead cost workshop workshop staff costs Accident insurance 24/24 rate/unit/people Total of units Total cost 100 000 50 000 000 quantity rate per unit/ person employees 300 000 500 000 410 000 Factory rental cost Total overhead cost 11 910 000 Direct Materials Total Job Cost product HBM148 Total Job Cost of product HBM58 Total Job Cost product HBM148 Tax 10% of total job cost Total cost in sum = 66 000 000 + 600 000 Advantages - Flexible, regardless of the workshop, only interested in the value of creating orders - Can calculate the production cost for each order, from which to determine the selling price and calculate the profit on each order Defect - If the order fulfillment is distributed in different workshops, the cost aggregation will be discrete, difficult, time consuming and costly - Too many orders that enterprises not clearly divide the production process will cause difficulties in allocating - Having a disadvantage with a long-term order that the customer requires a quote in advance Subjects of application 16 - The company constructs and installs separate infrastructure works - The company produces large and special handicrafts and fine arts for each project - The company exports according to foreign standard orders: shoes, fashion clothes, agricultural products, aquatic products 17 IV Analysis Similarities between companies: All companies produce products according to customer requirements and these companies we have mentioned have expense of three main factors: Direct materials cost Labour cost Overhead costs Wedding dress and construction firms spend the most on labour cost (101 910 $ and 3,600,000,000 VND) All have to pay tax by product or gross annual costs in overhead costs ( 5%/each roads to constructing company, 10%/ total cost to Hoa Bon Mua and wedding dress company) and pay for supervisor or manager (indirect labor) in overhead costs Differences between companies: Hoa Bon Mua company spends most money on direct material cost while remaining companies spend mostly on labour cost (15,000,000 VND and 20000000 VND for direct material cost in Hoa Bon Mua company, 3,600,000,000 VND and 101 910 $ for labour cost in construction and wedding dress companies) Construction company is the company which doesn’t need to pay for renting cost because of industry characteristics Meanwhile the amount of money wedding dress and Hoa Bon Mua company spend on renting are 600 000$ and 2,190,000 VND/ year respectively Construction company owns the most workers Therefore the cost for labour is largest, with 3,600,000,000 VND 18 In addition, construction company also need to pay for maintenance and repair machines cost with 10,000,000 VND Wedding dress pay for hiring designer serving for their products with 100 000$ while cost for indirect labor of construction company is hiring manager cost with 140,000,000 VND, that of Hoa Bon Mua company is workshop staff cost with 2,500,000 and 5,000,000 VND Hoa Bon Mua company has budget of insurance with 100% and advertising with 100 000$ Hoa Bon Mua and Wedding dress companies serve to individuals while construction company’custormers is large-scale business or government, that's why the amount in the construction company's statistics is bigger than other companies 19 V Conclusion - The method is applied to each order, so the organization of cost accounting must depend on each order - The object of cost collection, as well as the object of cost calculation, is each order in this procedure - From the time of execution until completion or delivery to the customer, the cost of each order is the total cost of direct materials, direct labor, construction machines, and general production row -The collection of uncompleted orders is the value of the ending work-in-progress carried forward to the next period • Advantages If work is expected to take a long time, the cost accountant can compare the cumulative cost in the team for that job to its estimate on a regular basis and provide management with advance notice if costs are increasing faster than expected This allows the Board of Directors to keep costs under control as the project progresses, or they can approach the client to negotiate a pay increase to cover some or all of the extra cost - Adaptable to any workshop, solely concerned with the value of making orders - May calculate the production cost for each order, from which the selling price and profit on each order can be calculated • Disadvantages 20 Task costing generates "hundreds" of disparate data about each job, which the Cost Accounting Department must examine to determine whether it is required to allocate expenses to that job - If a lot of work is being done at the moment, it's likely that costs will be distributed inappropriately - If order fulfillment is split between several workshops, cost aggregation will be complex, time-consuming, and expensive - When a company receives a large number of orders and does not properly split the production process, it will be difficult to allocate resources - With a long-term order, there is a disadvantage in that the consumer demands a quote in advance Job costing is calculated by adding together the cost of labor, materials, and overhead for a particular job The accounting activities related to Job costing are: • Calculating labor costs In the job costing method, labor can be charged directly for individual jobs if the business can determine the specific labor cost for that job (direct labor cost) All indirect labor related to the project or production process is recorded as overhead and then reallocated to different jobs (indirect labor costs) • Calculate cost of materials In job costing, materials used for a product or project are taken from the warehouse and allocated to a specific project If materials fail or the manufacturing process creates scraps, these costs are recognized as general expenses for later allocation, while extraordinary expenses are charged directly to the cost of goods sell 21 • Estimated overall costs The overhead is the most difficult cost to calculate The company will need to estimate the total costs charged to each specific job, including office rent, administrative costs, and depreciation on machinery and equipment used Usually, businesses will pre-determine the rate of general cost allocation Constant order costs can be optimized by optimizing overhead costs: How to Reduce Overhead Costs: Look for Alternatives Look for ways to streamline and improve corporate operations The major goal is to assist keep operations under tight control and boost their economic efficiency Analyze Purchasing or Renting Service Companies, stores that require people in specialized departments, should carefully consider the differences between organizing into a separate department and outsourcing services Suppliers are compared The comparison will assess the quality and cost of a variety of vendors Restaurants and hotels will then select the best supplier in terms of quality and price 22 VI References Anon., 2021 afamily.vn [Online] Available at: https://afamily.vn/ve-noi-san-xuat-hoa-lua-phuc-vu-tet-lon-nhatmien-bac-20140114093138599.chn Anon., n.d [Online] Kleinfeld, 2021 kleinfeldbridal.com [Online] Available at: https://www.kleinfeldbridal.com/help-faqs/#1504713442566ea71e638-732f own, m p., 2021 hoabonmua.vn [Online] Available at: http://www.hoabonmua.vn/binh-hoa-de-ban-dep-hbm148 Schell, D., 2021 study.com [Online] Available at: https://study.com/academy/lesson/job-order-costing-systemprocesses.html 23 VII Appendix: Profile Interview transcript Mr Đỗ Văn Lợi Position: CEO Firm: Hoàng Việt Business of: Building house • Cơng ty cho biết chi phí ngun vật liệu không ạ?
