Job Order Cost Sheet
Carlin Furniture Company refinishes and reupholsters furniture. Carlin Furniture uses a job order cost system. When a prospective customer asks for a price quote on a job, the estimated cost data are inserted on an unnumbered job cost sheet. If the offer is accepted, a number is assigned to the job, and the costs incurred are recorded in the usual manner on the job cost sheet. After the job is completed, reasons for the variances between the estimated and actual costs are noted on the sheet. The data are then available to management in evaluating the efficiency of operations and in preparing quotes on future jobs. On July 6, 2016, an estimate of $3,003 for reupholstering a sofa and loveseat was given to Justin Flannigan. The estimate was based on the following data:
Estimated direct materials: | |
30 meters at $35 per meter | $ 1,050 |
Estimated direct labor: | |
24 hours at $30 per hour | 720 |
Estimated factory overhead (75% of direct labor cost) | 540 |
Total estimated costs | $2,310 |
Markup (30% of production costs) | 693 |
Total estimate | $3,003 |
On July 10, the sofa and loveseat were picked up from the residence of Justin Flannigan, 310 Suzuki Drive, Lubbock, TX, with a commitment to return it on September 7. The job was completed on September 3.
