Although you have seen the job order costing system using both T-accounts and job cost sheets, it is necessary to understand how these transactions are recorded in the company’s general ledger. Journal Entries to Move Direct Materials, Direct Labor, and Overhead into Work in ProcessDinosaur Vinyl keeps track of its inventory and orders additional inventory to have on hand when the production department requests it. This inventory is not associated with any particular job, and the purchases stay in raw materials inventory until assigned to a specific job. For example, Dinosaur Vinyl purchased an additional \(\$10,000\) of vinyl and \(\$500\) of black ink to complete Macs & Cheese’s billboard. If the purchase is made on account, the entry is as shown:  As shown in , for the production process for job MAC001, the job supervisor submitted a materials requisition form for \(\$300\) in vinyl, \(\$100\) in black ink, \(\$60\) in red ink, and \(\$60\) in gold ink. For the finishing process for Job MAC001, \(\$120\) in grommets and \(\$60\) in finishing wood were requisitioned. The entry to reflect these actions is: The production department employees work on the sign and send it over to the finishing/assembly department when they have completed their portion of the job. The direct cost of factory labor includes the direct wages paid to the employees and all other payroll costs associated with that labor. Typically, this includes wages and the payroll taxes and fringe benefits directly tied to those wages. The accounting system needs to keep track of the labor and the other related expenses assigned to a particular job. These records are typically kept in a time ticket submitted by employees daily. On April 10, the labor time sheet totaling \(\$30\) is recorded for Job MAC001 through this entry: The assembly personnel in the finishing/assembly department complete Job MAC001 in two hours. The labor is recorded as shown: Indirect materials also have a materials requisition form, but the costs are recorded differently. They are first transferred into manufacturing overhead and then allocated to work in process. The entry to record the indirect material is to debit manufacturing overhead and credit raw materials inventory. Indirect labor records are also maintained through time tickets, although such work is not directly traceable to a specific job. The difference between direct labor and indirect labor is that the indirect labor records the debit to manufacturing overhead while the credit is to factory wages payable. Dinosaur Vinyl’s time tickets indicate that \(\$4,000\) in indirect labor costs were incurred during the period. The entry is: Dinosaur Vinyl also records the actual overhead incurred. As shown in , manufacturing overhead costs of \(\$21,000\) were incurred. The entry to record these expenses increases the amount of overhead in the manufacturing overhead account. The entry is: The amount of overhead applied to Job MAC001 is \(\$165\). The process of determining the manufacturing overhead calculation rate was explained and demonstrated in Accounting for Manufacturing Overhead. The journal entry to record the manufacturing overhead for Job MAC001 is: Journal Entry to Move Work in Process Costs into Finished GoodsWhen each job and job order cost sheet have been completed, an entry is made to transfer the total cost from the work in process inventory to the finished goods inventory. The total cost of the product for Job MAC001 is \(\$931\) and the entry is: Journal Entries to Move Finished Goods into Cost of Goods SoldWhen the sale has occurred, the goods are transferred to the buyer. The product is transferred from the finished goods inventory to cost of goods sold. A corresponding entry is also made to record the sale. The sign for Job MAC001 had a sales price of \(\$2,000\) and a cost of \(\$931\). These are the entries to record the transfer of goods and sale to the buyer: The resulting accounting is shown on the company’s income statement: Think It Through: Ongoing Overapplied Overhead At the end of each year, manufacturing overhead is analyzed, and an adjusting entry is made to dispose of the under- or overapplied overhead. How would you advise a company that has had overapplied overhead for each of the last five years? Contributors and Attributions

What account is debited for the issuance of direct materials into production?the issuance of direct material to production is a debit in work in process inventory and credit materials inventory.

Indirect materials are materials that are used in the production process but cannot be directly traced to a cost object.
Which account would you debit for the requisition of indirect materials used in production?The entry to record the indirect material is to debit manufacturing overhead and credit raw materials inventory.
What account is debited when materials are purchased?When you initially purchase materials for use, you record the purchase in the accounting records at cost. This entry consists of a debit to raw materials inventory and a credit to accounts payable or cash, reports Accounting Tools. The entry increases the total inventory account.
