    1. As seen in the case, using a traditional job-order costing system Wall Décor charges the actual costs of direct materials and direct labor to its specific jobs- unframed prints, steel-framed and no matting prints, wood-framed and mating prints. Since costs of manufacturing overhead related to production operations as whole, these costs cannot be assigned to specific jobs on the basis of actual costs incurred. Instead, Wall Décor assigns manufacturing overhead to work in process and to specific jobs on an estimated basis through the use of a predetermined overhead rate. The accountant team of Wall Décor calculates this rate as total estimated manufacturing overhead cost divided by total estimated cost of prints. Once the rate is available the overhead cost can be allocated to the prints using the cost of the print. This means that Wall Décor will assign this rate to a specific job to determine total cost of each specific job when it is completed.…

    After making some wise short-term investments at a race track, Chris Low had some additional cash to invest in a business. The most promising opportunity at the time was in building supplies, so Low bought a business that specialized in sales of one size of nail. The annual volume of nails was 2,000 kegs, and they were sold to retail customers in an even flow. Low was uncertain of how many nails to order at any time. Initially, only two costs concerned him: order-processing costs, which were $60 per order without regard to size, and warehousing costs, which were $1 per year per keg space. On average, the rented warehouse space is only half full. This meant that Low had to rent a constant amount of warehouse space for the year, and it had to be large enough to accommodate an entire order when it arrived. Low was not worried about maintaining safety stocks, mainly because the outward flow of goods was so even. Low bought his nails on a delivered basis.…
