Job Cost Sheet

Remnant Carpet Company sells and installs commercial carpeting for office buildings. Remnant Carpet Company 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 October 1, Remnant Carpet Company gave Jackson Consulting an estimate of $2,520 to carpet the consulting firm’s newly leased office. The estimate was based on the following data:

On October 3, Jackson Consulting signed a purchase contract, and the delivery and installation were completed on October 10.

Enter amounts as positive numbers.

1. Complete that portion of the job order cost sheet that would be prepared when the estimate is given to the customer.

2. Record the costs incurred, and complete the job order cost sheet.

1. The direct materials cost exceeded the estimate by $124 because 4 meters of materials were spoiled. The direct labor cost exceeded the estimate by $80 because an additional 4 hours of labor were used by an inexperienced employee.
