...Management Accounting and Control Lecture 4: Cost system refinement: Activity‐based costing; Process Costing Reading: Horngren Chapter 7 (Ch 5 in 14th edition); and Ch 8 to p 276 and pp281‐283 (Ch 17 14th edition) Note: the FIFO method will not be examined in this course and nor will Hybrid (Operation) Costing , therefore you do not need to read the pages that relate to these topics. 1 Salters Pty Ltd, a specialised equipment manufacturer, uses a job order costing system. The overhead is allocated to jobs on the basis of direct labour hours. The overhead rate is now $2,000 per direct labour hour. The design engineer thinks this is illogical and has stated the following: “Our accounting system doesn’t make any sense to me. It tells me that every labour hour carries additional overhead of $2,000. This means that direct labour makes up only 5% of our total product cost, yet it drives all our costs. In addition, these rates give my design engineers incentives to ‘design out’ direct labour by using machine technology. Yet over the past years as we have had less and less direct labour, the overhead rate keeps going up and up. I won’t be surprised if next year the rate is $2,500 per direct labour hour. I’m also concerned because small errors in our estimates of the direct labour content of a job can have a large impact on our estimated costs. Just a 30 minute error in our estimate of assembly time is worth $1,000. Small mistakes in our direct labour time estimates can really swing our bids ...

They recognize the facts that learning in units more effectively meets the needs of the students than traditionally daily lesson-assigning and lesson learning procedure. The concept of unit learning is still in the stage of development. Consequently , it has come to mean different things to different teachers . the situation has caused the evolution of various names which are used to differentiate between the several interpretations ,such as contract plan , Dalton plan ,project method , unit assignment ,Winnetka plan and others . The basis of unit idea can be traced to JOHANN FRIEDRICH HERBART (1776-1841) . herbart stressed 4 essentials in learning process 1. Clear apprehension by the student of each individual fact . 2.

After studying Unit 2.2, you should be able to: * Estimate a cost equation from a set of cost data and predict future total cost from that equation. After studying Unit 2.3, you should be able to: * Prepare a contribution format income statement. ------------------------------------------------- PREVIEW OF CHAPTER 2 While GAAP-based income statements are required for external financial reporting, they are not very useful for internal decision making because expenses are categorized based on business function. Unit 2.1 explains why it is important for managers to understand cost behavior and how various types of costs behave. Unit 2.2 explains cost estimation and the methods of estimating costs. Unit 3 explains the contribution margin, contribution margin ratio, the contribution margin income statement, and how changes in costs affect operating income. The content and organization of this chapter are as follows: Cost Behavior and Cost Estimation | Unit 1 – Cost Behavior Patterns | Unit 2 – Cost Estimation | Unit 3 – Contribution Margin Analysis | * Variable costs * Fixed costs *...

...CHAPTER 4 ACTIVITY-BASED PRODUCT COSTING QUESTIONS FOR WRITING AND DISCUSSION 1. Unit costs provide essential information needed for inventory valuation and preparation of income statements. Knowing unit costs is also critical for many decisions such as bidding decisions and accept-or-reject special order decisions. represent a significant proportion of total overhead costs. 8. Low-volume products may consume nonunit-level overhead activities in much greater proportions than indicated by a unit-level cost driver and vice versa for high-volume products. If so, then the low-volume products will receive too little overhead and the high-volume products too much. 2. Cost measurement is determining the dollar amounts associated with resources used in production. Cost assignment is associating the dollar amounts, once measured, with units produced. 9. If some products are undercosted and others are overcosted, a firm can make a number of competitively bad decisions. For example, the firm might select the wrong product mix or submit distorted bids. 3. An actual overhead rate is rarely used because of problems with accuracy and timeliness. Waiting until the end of the year to ensure accuracy is rejected because of the need to have timely information. Timeliness of information based on actual overhead costs runs into difficulty (accuracy problems) because overhead is incurred nonuniformly and because production also may be nonuniform. 10. 11. ...

...Appendix C Activity-Based Costing QUESTIONS 1. Manufacturing overhead costs cannot be directly traced to units of product like direct materials and direct labor. Assigning overhead costs to units of product requires some sort of allocation on some “reasonable” basis. 2. In the first stage, service department costs are assigned to operating departments. In the second stage, a predetermined overhead rate is computed for each operating department and used to assign overhead to output (or jobs or products). 3. Operating departments are directly involved in manufacturing or selling the products or services of a business. Service departments support operating departments through activities such as accounting, payroll, and legal services. 4. Activity-based costing (ABC) is a method for allocating shared costs among departments or products. It is especially common for overhead allocation. The goal of ABC is to provide reliable information about costs and their sources. One advantage of ABC is that it forces managers to examine the behavior of cost drivers and cost levels, with the result that costs are more likely to be managed effectively. 5. Anything to which costs would be assigned is considered a “cost object.” Common cost objects are units of product, product lines, departments, activities, and projects. 6. An activity cost driver is the measure of the activity that causes costs to be incurred. For instance, the activity driver for the activity “printing...

...Chapter 2 ------------------------------------------------- Managerial Accounting and Cost Concepts Solutions to Questions 2-1 The three major elements of product costs in a manufacturing company are direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. 2-2 a. Direct materials are an integral part of a finished product and their costs can be conveniently traced to it. b. Indirect materials are generally small items of material such as glue and nails. They may be an integral part of a finished product but their costs can be traced to the product only at great cost or inconvenience. c. Direct labor consists of labor costs that can be easily traced to particular products. Direct labor is also called “touch labor.” d. Indirect labor consists of the labor costs of janitors, supervisors, materials handlers, and other factory workers that cannot be conveniently traced to particular products. These labor costs are incurred to support production, but the workers involved do not directly work on the product. e. Manufacturing overhead includes all manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor. Consequently, manufacturing overhead includes indirect materials and indirect labor as well as other manufacturing costs. 2-3 A product cost is any cost involved in purchasing or manufacturing goods. In the case of manufactured goods, these costs consist of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. A period cost is a cost that is taken directly...

...CHAPTER 4 ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING CHAPTER REVIEW UNIT COSTS 1. Functional-based and activity-based costing assigns costs to cost objects such as products and customers. Once costs are assigned to the cost object, the unit cost is calculated by dividing the total cost assigned to the units produced by the number of units produced. 2. Unit cost information is used to: ■ value inventory ■ determine cost of goods sold, which affects income ■ determine bids to give to potential customers ■ decide whether to make or buy a product ■ decide whether to accept or reject a special order ■ decide whether to keep or drop a product line ■ decide whether to introduce a new product 3. Different cost information is needed for different purposes. 4. For external reporting, product costs include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. 5. Cost measurement involves determining the dollar amount of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead used in production. 6. Two cost measurement systems are: ■ actual costing ■ normal costing 7. Cost assignment involves associating costs with units produced. 8. Two cost assignment systems are: ■ functional-based costing ■ activity-based costing Production of Unit Cost Information 9. Actual costing assigns actual costs of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead to products. 10. Actual cost systems are rarely used because they cannot provide accurate unit cost information on a timely...
