By definition, overhead consists of costs that cannot practically be traced
to products or jobs. Therefore, overhead costs must be allocated rather
than traced if they are to be assigned to products or jobs. Many
production costs cannot be traced to a particular product or job, but
rather are incurred as a result of overall production activities. Therefore,
in order to be assigned to products, such costs must be allocated to the
products in some manner.
The Job Cost sheet is used to record all costs that are assigned to a
particular job.
Include direct materials cost traced to the job
Direct labour cost traced to the job

The job cost sheet is also a control document for: (1) determining how
many units have been sold and determining the cost of these units; (2)

and determining the cost of these units on the balance sheet.
