Total Asset Turnover
Measures how efficiently a company's assets are being used to generate sales
26
Financial Leverage
- Results from the difference in the rate of return on its assets and rate of return it must pay creditors on an after-tax basis - Is it good to borrow money
27
Positive Financial Leverage
- the return on assets exceeds the return paid to creditors | - means debt can benefit the stockholders
28
Negative Financial Leverage
- The return on assets is less than the return paid to creditors
29
How to determine financial leverage?
return on assets v interest rate on the bond return on assets v return on equity - if the return on equity is greater than the return on assets, financial leverage is positive because a greater return was given to the stockholders
30
Market Performance Ratios
Used by investors to assess and measure the earning and/or earning potential of the company 1. earnings per share 2. price earning 3. dividend pay out 4. dividend yield 5. Book value per share
31
Earnings per share
measures the amount of net income earned on each share of common stock
32
Price Earning ratio
- Measure the ratio of mkt price per share vs earnings per share - reflects an assessment of a company's earning from perspective of the stock market - reflects investors expectation concerning the future
33
dividend pay out
measures the percent of earnings distributed in cash dividends
34

Book value per share
measures the amount a common shareholder would receive if the assets were sold at carrying value and all creditors were paid

37
Job order cost system
use if we customized, our products are highly differentiated, or big ticket items
38
process cost system
use if we mass produce, have homogeneous products, or in a continuous production process
39
Operation Costing System
- A hybrid system that employs elements from both job order and process costing - Use if products produced have some common and some unique characteristics - usually assign DM to each batch and DL and OH by department
40
Similarity in Job Order and Process Costing
in the way production costs are recorded (WIP)
41
Differences in Job Order and Process Costing
- Method of assigning the costs to individual units of inventory
42
Process Costing: assigning cost to units
- Must be recorded as WIP in each department - Cost flow in sequence from one dept. to another - cost accumulate as inventory moves through departments - Must have WIP for each dept.
43
For MGMT and Inventory Valuations....
cost must be allocated between completed units and end wip units
44
Cost of production report
- An internal document for management that shows production quantity and cost data for a department - Provides a basis for evaluating productivity and cost control of each dept., setting prices, etc.
45
How often does process costing determine costs
every period
46
weighted average method
average all cost over all equiv units | - Most Widely USed
47
FIFO Method
Transfer to finished goods in 2 layers 1. beginning layer 2. current layer (calculate current cost/eu)
48
TRANSFERRED IN COSTS
- cost that were incurred in a previous process and brought in a later process as part of the production cost - requires a separate cost/eu
49
Traditional (conventional) costing
allocates manu OH costs to products based on the activity that causes costs to be incurred
50
Activity/Cost Pool
any event, action, transaction, or work sequence that incurs cost when producing a product
51
3 key differences: traditional vs ABC
1. Under ABC, some non-manu cost may be assigned to products ( if a definite cause and effect exists) 2. Under ABC, some manu cost may not be assigned to products (if the cost is not caused by producing the product) 3. ABC uses numerous OH rate
52
ABC hierarchy of costs
classifies costs into 4 activity levels | facilitates the allocation of OH costs to appropriate cost pools
53
Unit level activity: Example
- electricity to power machines - indirect material used - products assembled by hand
54
Batch Level activities: examples
process purchase orders | setting up machines
55
Product level activity: examples
maintaining parts product design and redesign issuing engineering change notices
56
Facility level activity: examples
- factory management salaries - insurance costs - depreciation - maintenance on general purpose machines - security guards
57
benefits of ABC
more accurate product costing | enhanced control over OH costs
58
Limitations of ABC
Very expensive | Some OH costs are still allocated by arbitrary volume based cost drivers
59
Factors that show that ABC is cost effective
- product lines differ greatly in volume or manufacturing complexity - OH costs constitute a significant portion of total costs
60
ABC serving customers
assign customer related cost to specific customers | customer support, service calls, sales calls, evaluating credit
61
ABC serving suppliers
assign supplier related cost to specific suppliers | reordering, expedited shipping, warranty work
