What are the costs of an assignment/product/service/job
•
Once: how reliable is the outcome of the calculation of the budgeted cost?
•
Are decisions made by managers based on the results of calculations or are the decisions based on gut-feeling (marketing/strategic arguments)?

Difference between Actual cost and Allocated Cost Reasons: •
cost level is in/decreased in the recent period; •

Denominator reason: budgeted level is not the same as the Cost sales Allocation Department actual level.
Consequence: •
Over or under allocation

What to do with the (in this case) positive result ? Adjusted Allocation Rate approach: Calculate the cost of each job on the basis of actual cost. Question: Does it matter what the cause of the result was?

Actual cost € 10.000
Actual allocation € 12.000 € 2.000
What to do with the (in this case) positive result ? Proration approach: Assign the result to WiP, FG and CoGs on a basis of •usage of indirect cost •ending balance of WiP, FG and CoGs Another method: just bring it under period costs

Conclusion Difference between two systems: in practice often a mixture. Cost tracing essential to stay alive in a competitive environment. Cost allocation for assigning indirect cost to costobjects. Job-costing Hybrid-costing Process-costing systems systems systems Distinct, identifiable unit of a product or service.
Masses of similar product units or service units.
