Explain giving examples why it is important to keep current cost in line with planned cost. Using examples where possible, describe the process of job costing used in non-profit organizations.
KLP provides consulting services and uses a job-order system to accumulate the cost of client projects. Traceable costs are charged directly to individual clients; in contrast, other costs incurred by KLP, but not identifiable with specific clients, are charged to jobs by using a predetermined overhead application rate. Clients are billed for directly chargeable costs, overhead, and a markup.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
O A.
If MOH is overallocated to a job that has been sold, and the company
calculates sales price by marking up job costs, the job will likely be
underpriced.
O B. The formula to arrive at the POHR is total budgeted manufacturing overhead
divided by total estimated allocation base.
O C. To calculate the increase to WIP for allocated MOH costs, the POHR is
multiplied by the actual amount of the allocation based used by the cost object.
D. "Number of units" is typically not an appropriate allocation base for MOH
because the company's products do not consume equal overhead resources.
If the over/underallocated MOH is fairly large and the majority of the units have
not been sold, the balance in MOH should be prorated between WIP, FG, and
COGS.
O E.
