This research discusses about the cost accounting system; mainly aims at the job order costing method, selling price decision making and budgetary control of the company.
This research was conducted at a local carpet manufacturer of P.T. “X” that produces custom made carpets. Information data is collected through an interview with the related person in charge of accounting and production of the company followed by field observation; and then analyzed using a descriptive qualitative analysis methodology.
Analysis results show that the company has complied with accounting rules in calculating and allocating the direct cost but not in the case of the indirect cost. Selling price decision making is based on cost-based pricing with 20% to 25% of profit margin. The company does not have a budgetary control and it does not have the Standard Operating Procedure or SOP in the accounting process.
Keywords: Cost accounting system, job order costing method, budgetary control, direct cost, indirect cost, standard operating procedure.
