1. .1 COST TERMS, CONCEPTS & CLASSIFICATIONS   CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES: - Be able to define and explain each term or concept in this chapter. - Be able to prepare a Cost of Goods Manufactured statement. - Understand the flow of costs through the accounting system. - Cost of quality

2. .2 Purpose of classification Cost classifications Preparing an income statement and balance sheet Product costs Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Period costs (nonmanufacturing costs) Marketing and selling costs Administrative costs Predicting changes in cost due to changes in activity Variable costs Fixed costs Assigning costs Direct costs Indirect costs Making decisions Differential costs Sunk costs Opportunity costs COST TERMS, CONCEPTS & CLASSIFICATIONS

3. .3 MANUFACTURING requires the use of DIRECT MATERIALS (DM), DIRECT LABOR (DL) and FACTORY OVERHEAD (FOH) to produce goods.

4. .4 Direct Material DM is not difficult, inconvenient or expensive to trace to products. DM would include most of the raw materials necessary to construct the finished product.

5. .5 Direct Labor: DL is not difficult, inconvenient or expensive to trace to products. DL would include most, if not all, the labor costs related to those who actually transform the materials or assemble the product.

6. .6 Factory Overhead FOH includes all the costs incurred in the factory except for DM and DL. Every FOH item would be considered an Indirect Cost. DM and DL are Direct Costs.

7. .7 Marketing (selling) costs Marketing (selling) costs are not part of FOH, nor are Administrative (ADM) costs. Both of these are also Period costs, whereas DM, DL and FOH are Product costs.

8. .8 PRIME COST & CONVERSION costs PRIME costs are the combination of DM and DL. CONVERSION costs are the combination of DL and FOH.

9. .9 PRODUCT COST PRODUCT costs are the combination of DM, DL and FOH. They are also known as Inventory costs. These costs are not expensed (classified as cost of goods sold on the income statement) until the related products are sold.

10. .10 PERIOD COST PERIOD costs are the combination of Marketing and Administrative costs. These costs are expensed (show up on the income statement) in the period they are incurred.

11. .11 COST CLASSIFICATIONS IN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES

12. .12 Raw Material, Work in Process & Finished Goods RM are the tangible items that will be used to make the physical form of the product. In effect, those items that will become DM and/or IDM. WIP is the partially completed products. This would include some DM, DL and FOH but not all that is necessary to complete the products. FG is the completed units of product that are ready to be sold.

13. .13 Financial statements Financial statements of manufacturing companies have some differences from merchandising or service businesses. The balance sheet would typically include three inventory accounts (RM, WIP & FG) instead of one inventory account for merchandising companies, or no inventory account for service businesses.

14. .14 Financial statements There would also be an additional financial statement called the Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured. This statement would show the details of the materials, labor and factory overhead plus the beginning and ending work in process balances. In effect, this statement is a detailed summary of the Work In Process account.

15. .15 FIXED COST As production increases, or decreases, a cost that does not change in amount in total is called a FC. As a result of the cost not changing in total (as the number of units produced increases or decreases) the mathematical average, based upon the number of units produced, will change in an opposite direction. In effect, an increase in production will cause the average fixed cost per unit to decrease.

16. .16 FIXED COST For example, if rent expense (generally a FC) is $1,000 per month and we produce 200 units, the cost per unit, for rent, is $5 ($1,000 / 200 = 5). But if we produce 500 units, then the cost per unit would be $2 ($1,000 / 500 = 2).

17. .17 VARIABLE COST As production changes (increases or decreases) a cost that does change in amount in total, and in direct proportion to the change in production, is called a VC.

18. .18 VARIABLE COST The wood materials used to make a desk is an example. The total amount of wood needed would be directly proportional to the number of desks made, but the amount of wood needed for each desk would be the same. For example, if the wood for one desk cost $10, then the total cost for 5 desks would be $50 ($10 * 5).

19. .19 COST CLASSIFICATIONS TO DESCRIBE COST BEHAVIOR To describe how costs react to changes in activity, costs are often classified as variable or fixed. VARIABLE COSTS- Variable cost behavior can be summarized as follows: Variable Cost Behavior In TotalPer Unit Total variable cost increases and decreases in proportion to changes in activity. Variable cost per unit is constant.

20. .20 EXAMPLE: A company manufactures microwave ovens. Each oven requires a timing device that costs $30. The per unit and total cost of the timing device at various levels of activity (i.e., number of ovens produced) would be: Cost per Timing Device Number of Ovens Produced Total Variable Cost- Timing Devices $301 10$300 $30100$3,000 $30200$6,000 COST CLASSIFICATIONS TO DESCRIBE COST BEHAVIOR

21. .21 FIXED COSTS Fixed cost behavior can be summarized as follows: Fixed Cost Behavior In TotalPer Unit Total fixed cost is not affected by changes in activity (i.e., total fixed cost remains constant even if activity changes). Fixed cost per unit decreases as the activity level rises and increases as the activity level falls.

22. .22 EXAMPLE: Assume again that a company manufactures microwave ovens. The company pays $9,000 per month to rent its factory building. The total and per unit cost of rent at various levels of activity would be: Number of Rent CostOvensRent Cost per MonthProducedper Oven $9,0001 10$900 $9,000100$90 $9,000200$45 FIXED COSTS

23. 23 A GRAPHIC VIEW OF COST BEHAVIOR RELEVANT RANGE If activity changes enough, fixed costs may change. For example, if microwave production were doubled, another factory building might have to be rented. The relevant range is the range of activity within which the assumptions that have been made about variable and fixed costs are valid. For example, the relevant range within which total fixed factory rent is $9,000 per month might be 1 to 200 microwaves produced per month.

24. .24 OPPORTUNITY COSTS OC refer to the benefit forgone (given up) because of the decision made. For example, if you give up one hour of time to study for this class but instead you could have worked and earned $10, then your opportunity cost of studying for this one hour is $10.

25. .25 SUNK COST A SUNK cost is the amount paid, or to be paid, because of a previous commitment, and the cost cannot be changed by any decision made now or in the future. For example, the cost previously incurred to make ten units of inventory, eight of which have been sold and two not, is a sunk cost.

26. .26 DIFFERENTIAL COSTS When comparing two alternatives, the difference between the costs, or revenues, is referred to as the DIFFERENTIAL costs. Other similar terms are INCREMENTAL, AVOIDABLE, and CHANGABLE.

27. .27 COST CLASSIFICATIONS FOR DECISION-MAKING DIFFERENTIAL COST- Every decision involves choosing from among at least two alternatives. Any cost that differs between alternatives is a differential cost. Only the differential costs are relevant in making a decision. EXAMPLE: Bill is currently employed as a lifeguard, but he has been offered a job in an auto service center in the same town. The differential revenues and costs between the two jobs are listed below:

41. 41 Purchases of raw materials $200,000 Direct labor$270,000 Manufacturing overhead: Indirect materials$ 5,000 Indirect labor100,000 Utilities, factory80,000 Property taxes, factory36,000 Insurance, factory9,000 Equipment rental70,000 Depreciation, factory 120,000 Total manufacturing overhead $420,000 But: Some of the goods sold this month were produced in previous months. Some of the costs listed above were incurred to make goods that were not sold this month. Therefore: Cost of goods sold does not equal the sum of the above costs. We need to determine the values of the various inventories. COST FLOWS EXAMPLE Ryder Company incurred the following costs last month:

51. .51 APPLICATION OF OVERHEAD In a job-order costing system, the cost of a job consists of: In a job-order costing system, the cost of a job consists of: 1.Actual direct material costs traced to the job. 2.Actual direct labor costs traced to the job. 3.Manufacturing overhead applied to the job using a predetermined overhead rate. Actual overhead costs are not assigned to jobs.

52. .52 APPLICATION OF OVERHEAD Why overhead Predetermined and difficult to trace- – –indirect cost either impossible or difficult to trace. – –many different items – –fluctuates but remain constant Due to fixed costs.

53. .53 APPLICATION OF OVERHEAD A predetermined overhead rate is used to assign overhead cost to products and services. It is:A predetermined overhead rate is used to assign overhead cost to products and services. It is: Based on estimated data.Based on estimated data. Established before the period begins.Established before the period begins.

54. .54 PREDETERMINED OVERHEAD RATE FORMULA The formula for computing a predetermined overhead rate is: The formula for computing a predetermined overhead rate is: The company in the preceding example applies overhead costs to jobs on the basis of direct labor- hours. In other words, direct labor-hours or machine hours are the allocation base. The company in the preceding example applies overhead costs to jobs on the basis of direct labor- hours. In other words, direct labor-hours or machine hours are the allocation base.

55. .55 PREDETERMINED OVERHEAD RATE FORMULA At the beginning of the year the company estimated that it would incur $320,000 in manufacturing overhead costs and would work 40,000 direct labor-hours. The company’s predetermined overhead rate is: At the beginning of the year the company estimated that it would incur $320,000 in manufacturing overhead costs and would work 40,000 direct labor-hours. The company’s predetermined overhead rate is:

56. .56 APPLICATION OF OVERHEAD TO JOBS The process of assigning overhead to jobs is known as applying overhead.The process of assigning overhead to jobs is known as applying overhead. In the preceding example, Job 2B47 required 27 direct labor-hours. Therefore, $216 of overhead cost was applied to the job as follows:In the preceding example, Job 2B47 required 27 direct labor-hours. Therefore, $216 of overhead cost was applied to the job as follows: Predetermined overhead rate$8 per DLH Direct labor-hours required for Job 2B47× 27 DLHs Overhead applied to Job 2B47$216
