Q

Costs of Good Manufactured

A

Statement that accounts for the manufacturing costs of the products completed during the period

Costs = direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead

COGM = COGS + Ending Finished Goods Inventory - Beginning Finished Goods Inventory

= Total Manufacturing Cost + Beginning WIP - Ending WIP

Where Total Manufacturing Costs = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor + Applied OH

Where Direct Materials Used = Beginning Inventory of Direct Materials + Purchases - Purchase Returns/ Allowance + Transport In - Ending Inventory of Direct Materials

Manufacturing costs incurred during the period are increased or decreased by the net change in work-in-process inventory (beginning WIP minus ending WIP) to equal cost of good manufactured

Q

Job Order Costing

A

Identifies the job or individual units or batches as the cost objective and is used when relatively few units are produced and when each unit is UNIQUE or easily identifiable

Cost is allocated to a specific job as it moves through the manufacturing process

Job-Cost Records are maintained for each product, service or batch of products and they serve as the primary record used to accumulate all costs for the job

Internal Documents Use: Materials Requisitions, Labor Time Tickets, Job-Order Costing

Q

Process Costing

A

Averages costs and applies them to a larger number of homogeneous items

Steps:

  1. Summarize the flow of physical units (beginning with the production report)
  2. Calculate “equivalent unit” output
  3. Accumulate the total costs to be accounted for (production report)
  4. Calculate the average unit costs based on total costs and equivalent units
  5. Apply the average costs to the units completed and the units remaining in the ending work-in-process inventory

Q

Calculating Using FIFO

A

Ending inventory is priced at the cost of manufacturing during the period, assuming that beginning inventory was completed during the period

Equivalent Unit Components

  1. Completion of units on hand at the beginning of the period
  2. Units started and completed during the period (Units Completed - Beginning WIP)
  3. Units Partially Complete at the End of the Period

Cost Components:

Current Costs incurred during the period are allocated to the equivalent units produced during the period

Formula:

Beginning WIP * % to be Completed XXX

Units Completed - Beginning WIP + XXX

Ending WIP * % Completed + XXX

Equivalent Units XXX

Cost Per Equivalent Units:

= Current Cost Only

Q

Calculating Using Weighted Average

A

Averages the cost of production during the period with the costs in the beginning work-in-process inventory

Equivalent Unit Components:

  1. Units completed during the month (Beginning WIP + Units stated and completed during the month)
  2. Units partially complete at the end of the period

Total cost, including both the costs of beginning inventory and current costs, are allocated to equivalent units to arrive at a weighted average unit cost

Formula:

Units Completed XXX

Ending WIP * % Completed +XXX

Equivalent Units XXX

Cost Per Equivalent Unit:

Beginning Cost + Current Cost

Q

Comparison of FIFO and Weighted Average

A

Equivalent unit calculation under FIFO consists of 3 elements representing the current periods production, whereas calculation under the weighted average method consists of only two elements

FIFO represents only cots incurred in the current period. Weighted average includes both current period plus prior period units

Q

Operational Cost Drivers

A
  • Volume-Based:
    • Direct Labor Hours or Machine Hours
    • Can Distort the amount of costs assigned to various product lines because overall overhead costs do not fluctuate with volume
  • Activity Based:
    • Assumes that resource-consuming activities with specific purposes cause costs
    • Best way to assign indirect costs to product is based on the product’s demand for resource- consuming activities
    • Attempts to improve cost allocation by emphasizing long-term product analysis

Activity- Based Costing Terminology

A
  • Activity: any work performed inside a firm
  • Resource: an elements that is used to perform ( or applied to perform an activity)
  • Cost Drivers: activity bases that are closely correlated with the incurrence of manufacturing overhead costs in an activity center
    • Often used as allocation bases for applying overhead costs to cost objects
    • Ability to change total costs
    • Include nonfinancial, statistical measurements of activities such as sales or production volume
  • Resource Cost Driver: amount of resources that will be used by an activity
  • Activity Cost Driver: amount of activity that a cost object will use, and it is used to assign the costs to the cost objects
  • Activity Centers: operation necessary to produce a product
  • Cost Pool: group of costs or specially identified cost center in which costs are grouped, assigned and collected

Value Chain (Value-Added Activities)

A
  • Series of activities in which customer usefulness is added to the product
32
Q

Non-Value Added Activities

A
  • Do not increase product value or service and are targeted for elimination
33
Q

Steps of ABC

A
  1. Identify Cost Drivers
  2. Accumulate the Costs in Cost Pools
  3. Trace Indirect Costs to Activity Centers
  4. Allocate Remaining Indirect Cost Pools
    1. Costs of each activity are applied to cost objects based on the most appropriate cost drivers
  5. Divide Assigned Costs by Level of Activity for Cost Center
    1. Divide costs assigned to activity center by the estimated level of activity for the center to derive an application rate for that center
  6. Cost the Product
    1. Multiplying its demand for the resources of an activity center by the rate for that activity center
34
Q

Effects of ABC

A
  • Apply high amounts of overhead to a product that places high demands on expensive resources
  • Removes distortion caused by traditional, volume-based overhead system
35
Q

Standard Costing System

A
  • natural extension of ABC
  • Standards are set at activity levels based on cost drivers
  • Variations are calculated by comparing actual and standard costs that consider levels of activities
    • Due to price (labor), usage (efficiency), or others
  • Normal and abnormal scrap or spoilage is estimated for activity levels
  • Standards may be difficult to set on a per unit basis
    • Per unit costs are often inversely proportional to volume
    • Assumption of a relevant range may be necessary to set a per unit standard
36
Q

Service Costs Allocation Using ABC

A
  • Direct Method: most widely used and least complex
  • Step-Down Method (sequential method)
    • used in more complex situations
    • service department costs are also allocated to other service departments as well as production departments
    • assumes that once a service department’s costs have been allocated to another service department, there can be no subsequent costs allocated back to the other service department
37
Q

Joint Products

A

two or more products that are generated from a common input

38
Q

By-Products

A

minor products of relatively small value that incidentally results from the manufacture of the main product

have relatively low sales values that are not sufficient to cover their share of common costs

Revenue Accounting:

  1. Applied to Main Product: any proceeds from the sale of a by-products are a reduction to common costs for joint product costing
    1. sales credited to joint costs incurred either at the time of production or time of sale
  2. Miscellaneous Income: revenue from the sale of by-products may be credited to misc. income
39
Q

At split-off point is used purely for inventory costing and is of little use for cost planning and control purposes

43
Q

Sales Value at Split-Off

A

Used if split-off values are not available

= Final Selling Pricing - Identifiable Costs Incurred After Split-Off

44
Q

Shows whether there is a trend toward improved quality conformance or deteriorating quality conformance

48
Q

Pareto Diagrams

A

Used to determine the quality-control issues that are most frequent and often demand greatest attention

Demonstrates the frequency of defects from highest to lowest frequency

49
Q

Cause-and-Effect Diagram (Fishbone)

A

Once the most frequently recurring and costly defects/problems are identified by Pareto Diagram, cause-and-effect can be used to further analyze the defect

Provide framework for managers to analyze the problems that contribute to the occurrence of defects

50
Q

Types of Responsible Segments

A

Sometimes referred to as Strategic Business Units (SBUs)

Highly effective in organizing performance requirements and in establishing accountability for financial responsibility

  1. Cost SBUs: managers held responsible for controlling costs
  2. Revenue SBU: managers are held responsible for generating revenues
  3. Profit SBU: managers are held responsible for producing a target profit (both revenues and costs)
  4. Investment SBU: managers are held responsible for return on the assets invested to product the earnings generating by the SBU
51
Q

Areas of Accountability in Financial Scorecards

A
  1. Product Lines:
    1. some SBUs involve multiple products
    2. Costs, Sales, Profits or Returns associated with each of these products can be further analyzes

  3. Customers
    1. one of the most significant classifications
52
Q

Contribution Reporting

A
  • Contribution Margin: measures the excess of revenues over variable costs (or contribution to fixed costs) for a company or division
  • Controllable Margin: represents the difference between contribution margin and controllable fixed costs
    • Controllable fixed costs can be influenced by managers in les than one year (sales promotion and advertising)
  • Allocation of Common Costs: Managers have control over variable costs and controllable fixed costs
    • Common costs are not controllable
    • must be fair and logical
53
Q

Balanced Scorecard

A

Gathers information on multiple dimensions of an organization’s performance by defined by critical success factors necessary to accomplish the firm’s strategy

Critical Success Factors: Financial, Internal Business Processes, Customer Satisfaction, and Advancement of innovation and human resources development (learning and growth)

54
Q

Cost of Quality

A

Includes costs associated with activities related to conformance with quality standards and opportunity costs or activities associated with correcting nonconformance with quality standards

An inverse relationship between conformance and nonconformance costs exists

55
Q

Conformance Costs

A
  1. Prevention Costs:
    1. incurred to prevent the production of defective units
    2. Examples:
      1. Employee training

      1. Statistical quality checks
      2. Testing
      3. Inspection (completed products before they ship)
      4. Maintenance of the laboratory
56
Q

Non Conformance Costs

A

Classified as either internal or external costs

Often difficult to compute because most are in the form of opportunity costs

57
Q

Return on Investment (ROI)

A

ROI = Income / Investment Capital

or

ROI = Profit Margin * Investment Turnover

Ideal performance measure for investment SBUs

Profit Margin = Income / Sales

Investment Turnover = Sales / Invested Capital

Higher Percentage Return, the BETTER

Limitations:

  • Short-Term Focus: investment myopia
  • Disincentive to Invest: profitable units are reluctant to invest in additional productive resources because they could reduce their ROI

Facts:

  • Use of ROI can make it undesirable for a skillful manager to take on trouble-shooting assignments such as those involving turning about unprofitable divisions
  • The use of ROI may lead managers to reject capital investment projects that can be justified used discounted cash flow models
  • When the average age of assets differs substantially across segments of a business, the use of ROI is appropriate
58
Q

Return on Assets (ROA)

A

ROA = Net Income

Average Total Assets

** Can be used to compare profitability of companies that differ in size

** Profitability measure that can be used to evaluate the efficiency of asset usage and managements, and the effectiveness of the business strategies to create profit

59
Q

ROI/ ROA Issues

A

Variations on Asset Valuation: appropriate asset valuation depends on the strategic objectives of the company and the direction that leadership wants to give its manager

Types:

  1. Net Book Value: represent historical costs less accumulated depreciation
  2. Gross Book Value: represents historical cost prior to the reduction for accumulated depreciation
  3. Replacement Cost: represents the cost to replace assets at their current level of utility
  4. Liquidation Value: represents the selling price of the productive asset
60
Q

Return on Equity (ROE)

A

ROE = Net Income

Equity

or

= Net Income * Sale * Assets

Sales Assets Equity

Simple to compute

Additional breakouts of the components of ROE provide management with a much clearer picture of the efficiencies and leverage of a given company’s operations

61
Q

DuPont Analysis

A

Breaks ROE into three distinct components (Net Profit Margin, Asset Turnover, Financial Leverage)

Net Profit Margin (Measures Operating Efficiency)

= Net Income

Sales

Asset Turnover (Efficiency of Asset Usage)

= Sales

Assets

Financial leverage (Measures Extent of Debt in Capital Structure)

= Assets

Equity

DuPont ROE = Net Profit Margin * Assets Turnover * Financial Leverage

or

ROA * Financial Leverage

62
Q

Extended DuPont Model

A

Breaks out Net Profit Margin into three components (Tax Burden, Interest Burden, and Operating Income Margin)

Tax Burden = Net Income

Pretax Income

Extend to which a company retains profits after paying taxes

Interest Burden = Pretax Income

Earning Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)

Reflects how much in pretax income a company retains after paying interest to debt holders

EBIT Margin = EBIT

Sales

Measures company profits earned on sales after paying operating and nonoperating costs (other than interest & tax)

Extended DuPont ROE = Tax Burden * Interest Burden * EBIT Margin * Asset Turnover * Financial Leverage

Both DuPont and Extended DuPont produce the same number. Breaking them down allows for better analysis by management

63
Q

Residual Income

A

Method that measures the excess of actual income earned by an investment over the return required by the company

Rate of Return might be the WACC, Cost of Equity, or Return Established by Management

Provides an amount in $$$

Like ROI, is a performance measure for investment SBUs

Formula:

Residual Income = Net Income (from IS) - Required Return

Where:

Required Return = Net Book Value (Equity) * Hurdle Rate

Positive indicates performance is meeting standards

** Imputed interest rate used in the Historical Weighted Average Cost of Capital for the Company or Target Return on Investment set by company’s management

Benefits:

  • Ease of measurement of actual dollars earned by an investment above its required amount
  • Encourage management to invest in projects that generate income in excess of the target or calculated rate
  • Better than ROI because desirable investment decisions will not be neglected by high-return divisions
  • Better than ROI because goal congruence is more likely to be promoted

Weaknesses:

  • Distorts comparison of units with unequal size
  • Computing target rate of return may sometimes be difficult
64
Q

Economic Value Added Method

A

Similar to Residual Income Method

Measures the excess of income after taxes (not counting interest expense) earned by an investment of the return rate defined by company’s overall cost of capital (WACC)

NOPAT = Net Operating Profit After Tax

Ensures performance is measured in comparison to changes associated with al capital, debt and equity

Expressed as an amount and considered a form of economic profit

Formula:

EVA = NOPAT - Required Return

where:

Required Return = Investment * WACC

Positive EVA = performance is meeting standards

Negative EVA = Performance is not meeting standards

65
Q

Investment Valuation Issues for EVA

A
  1. Capitalization of Research & Development:
    1. can capitalize as part of its asset base along with other value-adding investments in advertising and training
  2. Current Valuation of the Balance Sheet:
    1. generally revalued to represent current costs
66
Q

Income Determination in EVA Method

A

NOPAT may be adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain transactions and thereby create a nearly cash basis income statement

Adjustments to balance sheet affect the income statement

Deferred taxes are ignored

67
Q

Cost of Goods Sold- Manufacturing

A

= Cost of Goods Sold - Ending Finished Goods + Beginning Finished Goods

  1. Beginning Inventory of Finished Goods
  2. Add: Cost of Goods Manufactured
  3. Equals: Finished Goods Available for Sale
  4. Subtract: Ending Inventory of Finished Goods
  5. Equals: Cost of Goods Sold
68
Q

Gross Profit

A

Gross Margin = Revenue - COGS

Revenue

Sales 1,000,000

Beginning Inventory of Finished Goods 100,000

+ Cost of Goods Manufactured 800,000

  • Ending Finished Goods Inventory -500,000

- 400,000

Gross Profit 600,000

69
Q

Gross Profit Formula

A

GP = Revenue - COGS

Where COGS = COGM + Beginning Finished Goods Inventory - Ending Finished Goods Inventory

70
Q

Weighted Average Method for Equivalent Units Formula

A

= Total Costs / Equivalent Units

Where:

Total Costs = Beginning Costs + Current Costs

Total Units = Units Completed + Ending WIP * % Completed

71
Q

Ending Inventory Calculation

A

Beginning inventory + net purchases – COGS = ending inventory

72
Q

Cost of Goods Transferred to Finished Goods Inventory

A

Beginning Balance in WIP XXX

Plus Total Manufacturing Costs XXX

Equals Goods Available to Transfer XXX

Minus Goods Transferred to Finished Goods XXX ← Squeeze

Ending Balance of WIP XXX

Where :

Total Manufacturing Costs = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + % Applied from Overhead

Direct Materials Costs = Beginning Balance Direct Materials + Purchases + Transportation In - Purchase Returns/ Allowances

73
Q

Spoilage Calculation

A

= Normal Spoilage * Percent Sold + Abnormal Spoilage
