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:

Estimated direct materials:
40 meters at $31 per meter $ 1,240
Estimated direct labor:
16 hours at $20 per hour 320
Estimated factory overhead (75% of direct labor cost) 240
Total estimated costs $1,800
Markup (40% of production costs) 720
Total estimate $2,520

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

The related materials requisitions and time tickets are summarized as follows:

Materials Requisition No. Description     Amount
112 20 meters at $31 $620
114 24 meters at $31 744
Time Ticket No. Description     Amount
H10 8 hours at $20 $160
H11 12 hours at $20 240

Required:

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.

What is the best explanation for the variances between actual costs and estimated costs. (For this purpose, assume that the additional meters of material used in the job were spoiled, the factory overhead rate has proven to be satisfactory, and an inexperienced employee performed the work.)

  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. The factory overhead cost exceeded the estimate because an additional $60 of factory overhead was allocated because of the increase in direct labor.
  2. Management didn't provide enough direction to complete tasks on budget.
  3. The direct materials cost exceeded the estimate by $75 because 3 meters of materials were spoiled.
  4. The direct labor cost exceeded the estimate by $120 because an additional 4 hours of labor were used by an inexperienced employee.

Select the correct answer from the above choices.
