This is an example of the classic short-term, self-liquidating loan.The need for such a loan often arises because of the seasonal natureof a business. The basic source of cash is proceeds from sales tocustomers. In times of peak sales, there is a lag between the saleand the collection of the cash, yet the payroll and suppliers must bepaid in cash right away. When the cash is collected, it in turn maybe used to repay the loan. The amount of the loan and the timing ofthe repayment are heavily dependent on the credit terms that pertain to both the purchasing and selling functions of the business.7-B1 (60-120 min.) $ refers to Australian dollars.1. See Exhibits I, II, and III and supporting schedules a, b, c, d.2. The cash budget and balance sheet clearly show the benefits ofmoving to just-in-time purchasing (though the transition wouldrarely be accomplished as easily as this example suggests).However, the company would be no better off if it left much ofits capital tied up in cash -- it has merely substituted oneasset for another. At a minimum, the excess cash should be in aninterest bearing account -- the interest earned or forgone is oneof the costs of inventory.Schedule a: Sales Budget January February MarchTotal sales (100% on credit) $248,000 $280,000 $152,000Schedule b: Cash Collections60% of current month's sales $148,800 $168,000 $91,20030% of previous month's sales 30,000 74,400 84,00010% of second previous month's sales 10,000 10,000 24,800Total collections $188,800 $252,400 $200,000December January February March Schedule c: Purchases BudgetDesired ending inventory $156,200 $ 24,000* $ 24,000 $ 24,000 Cost of goods sold 50,000 124,000 140,000 76,000 Total needed $206,200 $148,000 $164,000 $100,000 Beginning inventory 64,000 156,200 32,200 24,000 Purchases $142,200$ - $131,800 $ 76,000* Actual ending January (and beginning February) inventory level is$32,200, as inventory levels are drawn down toward desired level of$24,000.Schedule d: Disbursements for Purchases100% of previous month's purchases $142,200 $ - $131,800 March 31 accounts payable $76,000WALLABY KITECash BudgetFor the Three Months Ending March 31, 20X2January February MarchCash balance, beginning $ 20,000 $ 20,400 $138,767 Minimum cash balance desired 20,000 20,000 20,000 (a) Available cash balance 0 400 118,767 Cash receipts and disbursements:Collections from customers(Schedule b) 188,800 252,400 200,000 Payments for merchandise(Schedule d) (142,200) - (131,800) Rent (32,200) (1,000) (1,000) Wages and salaries (60,000) (60,000) (60,000) Miscellaneous expenses (10,000) (10,000) (10,000) Dividends (6,000) -Purchase of fixtures - - (12,000) (b) Net cash receipts & disbursements $ (61,600) $181,400 $ (14,800)Excess (deficiency) of cashbefore financing (a + b) $ (61,600) $181,800 $103,967 Financing:Borrowing, at beginning of period $ 62,000$ - $ - Repayment, at end of period - (62,000)Simple interest, 10% monthly - (1,033)(c) Total cash increase (decrease)from financing $ 62,000 $ (63,033)$ - (d) Cash balance, end (beginningbalance + c + b) $ 20,400 $138,767 $123,967WALLABY KITEBudgeted Income StatementFor the Three Months Ending March 31, 20X2Sales (Schedule a) $680,000 Cost of goods sold (Schedule c) 340,000 Gross margin $340,000 Operating expenses:Rent* $ 67,000Wages and salaries 180,000Depreciation. 3,000Insurance 1,500Miscellaneous 30,000 281,500 Net income from operations $ 58,500 Interest expense 1,033 Net income $ 57,467*(January-March sales less $40,000) × .10 plus 3 × $1,000Exhibit IIIWALLABY KITEBudgeted Balance SheetMarch 31, 20X2AssetsCurrent assets:Cash (Exhibit I) $123,967Accounts receivable* 88,800Merchandise inventory (Schedule c) 24,000Unexpired insurance 4,500 $241,267 Fixed assets, net: $50,000 + $12,000 - $3,000 59,000 Total assets $300,267 Liabilities and Stockholders' EquityLiabilities:Accounts payable (Schedule d) $76,000Rent payable. 64,000Dividends payable 6,000 $146,000 Stockholders' equity** 154,267 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity. $300,267*February sales (.10 × $280,000) plus March sales (.40 × $152,000) = $88,800**Balance, December 31, 20X1 $102,800Add: Net income 57,467Total $160,267Less: Dividends paid 6,000Balance, March 31, 20X2 $154,2677-1 Budgeting 1) provides an opportunity for managers to reevaluate existing activities and evaluate possible new activities, 2) compels managers to think ahead by formalizing their responsibilities for planning, 3) aids managers in communicating objectives to units and coordinating actions across the organization, and 4) provides benchmarks to evaluate subsequent performance.7-2 Budgeting is primarily attention directing because it helps managers to focus on operating or financial problems early enough for effective planning or action.7-3 Strategic planning covers no specific time period, is quite general, and often is not built around financial statements. Long-range planning usually has a 5- or 10-year horizon and consists of financial statements without much detail. Budgeting usually has a horizon of one year or less, and consists of financial statements with much detail.7-4 Continuous budgets add a month (or quarter) in the future as the month (or quarter) just ended is dropped. Therefore, the continuous budget provides a continually updated budget looking twelve months ahead. When the new month (or quarter) is added, the budget for the remainderof the current year may also be revised. When companies revise the budgets for the remainder of the current year, they usually compare subsequent results to the original budget (a fixed target) in additionto comparing them to the latest revised budget.7-5 If the measures used to reward employees in the performance evaluation system are not aligned with the goals of the company, the incentives from the evaluation system may lead employees to take actions that conflict with the interests of the company.7-6 Lower-level managers bias their forecasts to create budgetaryslack or padding. Upper-level managers adjust for this bias in creating a revised budget. Therefore, lower-level managers introduce additional bias to compensate for the adjustment that will be made by upper-level managers, and upper-level managers introduce additional adjustments for the additional bias. This cycle can quickly destroy the potential benefits of budgets.7-7 A manager may make short-run decisions to increase profits that are not in the company’s best long-run interests, such as offeringcustomers excessively favorable credit terms or cutting discretionary expenditures such as R&D and advertising, trading future sales for current profits. In the extreme, the manager might choose to falsely report inflated profits.7-8 First, by moving this year's sales into next year or moving next year's expenses into this year, the manager ensures a higher level of reported profit (and probably a higher bonus) next year. Second, by decreasing this year's income, the manager avoids ratcheting up of performance expectations in setting the bonus target for the next year. 7-9 Budgeted performance is better than past performance as a basis for judging current performance because the budget contains no hidden inefficiencies and can be founded on current rather than past economic conditions.7-10 Budgets are especially important in environments that are rapidly changing. They force managers to look forward and plan for change. Budgets force analysis of the factors that are bringing about the changes.7-11 No. When budgeting in done correctly, it is an important aid to managers. Managers need time to plan and coordinate their various activities. Budgeting forces them to take time from the day-to-day problems and focus on longer-term issues.7-12 The sales forecast is the starting point for budgeting becauseall other operating activities of the company are affected by the volume of sales.7-13 The sales forecast is influenced by past patterns of sales, estimates made by the sales force, general economic conditions, competitors' actions, changes in prices, market research studies, and advertising and sales promotion plans.7-14 An operating budget is used as a guide for production and sales and it focuses on the income statement. A financial budget is used to control the receipt and disbursement of funds and it focuses on the statement of cash receipts and disbursements.7-15 Operating expenses are costs charged to the income statement in a particular period. Some operating expenses may be associated with the sales of the period, and others may be costs of being in business forthe period. Disbursements for these operating expenses, that is, the cash payments for them, may come in a previous period (assets purchased in one period and depreciated over future periods) or a future period (wages accrued in a period but paid in the next period), as well as during the period.7-16 A cash budget is an attempt to monitor and regulate the flow of cash in optimum fashion.7-17 Budgeting will be effective only if it is accepted by those managers who are responsible for controlling costs. Since their performance will be measured against the budget, they must be educated in the assumptions underlying the budget and convinced of itsobjectivity and relevance.7-18 Both functional and activity-based master budgets begin with the forecasted demand for products or services. However, whereas functional budgets then determine the inventory, materials, labor, and overhead budgets, the activity-based budget focuses on determining the demand for key activities. This demand is measured by the cost-driver unit for each activity. Then the budgeted resource consumption rates are used to set the budgets for resources such as materials, labor, and overhead. The focus on activities and consumption rates in activity-based budgeting is what managers believe offers value from an operational control perspective.7-19 No. Financial planning models are mathematical statements of the relationships in the organization among all the operating and financial activities and of other major internal and external factors that may affect the financial results of decisions. But financial planning models are only as good as the assumptions and inputs used to build them. Managers must understand the models to provide appropriate assumptions and inputs. If managers do not understand budgeting, using financial planning models can result in GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).7-20 Setting up the master budget on a spreadsheet is time-consuming -- the first time. However, if it is done properly, with maximum flexibility, then the ease of subsequent use probably will more than offset that initial cost. Ultimately, though, the master budget system must meet the cost-benefit test. Improved budgeting systems are only worthwhile if they offer net benefits. Preparing and revising the master budget of a large company just would not be feasible without the aid of a computer.7-21 Spreadsheets can be used to make a mathematical model of an organization. It may take much effort to create the model, but once it is in place it can be used over and over again with minimal effort. Such a model is especially useful for sensitivity analysis, which is the asking of "what if" questions.7-22 Budgets that are used primarily for limiting spending provide incentives for “game playing.” Accurate forecasts and estimates give way to strategies designed to avoid budget cuts or to justify increased budgets. Budgets should have a much larger role in the effective and efficient management of an organization. A budget should be a decision tool. It helps managers project the results of their decisions, therebyaiding them in making the right decisions. It also provides a base for adapting to change. Anything that results in loss of budget accuracy will limit the decision usefulness of the budget.7-23 Accurate sales forecasts are essential to budgeting. Sales personnel are often “closest to the action” and therefore in the best position to make accurate forecasts. They are in direct contact with customers, and often they are the first to notice trends. A central staff function, such as market research, can set parameters for forecasting and give some common ground rules. But usually it is important to get sales personnel heavily involved because they have information that no one else has. Most importantly, the more involved sales personnel are, the more committed they will be to achieving budgeted sales goals.7-24 The planning that comes through a good budget process is important to all segments of an organization. Segments with both revenues and expenses can show a budgeted profit. Other segments that have only expenses, such as a research and development department, still have to plan their operations. It is important to predict the resources needed to meet the segment’s objectives so that required resources can be obtained. Budgeting provides a formal channel for communication between the segment and top management about what activities the segment is to undertake.7-25 A key to employee acceptance of a budget is participation. Budgets created with the active participation of all affected employees are generally more effective than budgets imposed on subordinates. If a budget is to help direct future activities, employees must accept the budget. Acceptance means believing that the budget reflects a desired future path for the organization. If a manager has been a participantin determining the future path – that is, helped develop the budget –he or she is more likely to accept it as a desirable objective.7-26 (5 min.)1. a.

Scorekeeping. A depreciation schedule is used in preparing financial statementsto report the results of activities. 2. Problem solving. Helps a manager assess the impact of a purchase decision. 3. Scorekeeping. Reports on the results of an operation. Could also be attentiondirecting if scrap is an area that might require management attention. 4. Attention directing. Focuses attention on areas that need attention. 5. Attention directing. Helps managers learn about the information contained in aperformance report. 6. Scorekeeping. The statement reports what has happened. Could also be attentiondirecting if the report highlights a problem or issue. 7. Problem solving. Assuming the cost comparison is to help the manager decidebetween two alternatives, this is problem solving. 8. Attention directing. Variances point out areas where results differ fromexpectations. Interpreting them directs attention to possible causes of the differences. 9. Problem solving. Aids a decision about where to make parts. 10. Attention directing and problem solving. Budgeting involves making decisionsabout planned activities -- hence, aiding problem solving. Budgets also direct attention to areas of opportunity or concern --hence, directing attention. Reporting against the budget also has a scorekeeping dimension.2 Copyright ?2021 Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Prentice Hall.1-A2 1. 2.(15-20 min.)Room rental FoodEntertainment Decorations TotalBudgeted Amounts $ 140 700 600 220 $1,660 Actual Amounts $ 140865 600 260 $1,865 Deviations or Variances $ 0 165U 0 40U $205U Because of the management by exception rule, room rental and entertainment require no explanation. The actual expenditure for food exceeded the budgetby $165. Of this $165, $150 is explained by attendance of 15 persons morethan budgeted (at a budget of $10 per person for food) and $15 is explained by expenditures above $10 per person.Actual expenditures for decorations were $40 more than the budget. The decorations committee should be asked for an explanation of the excess expenditures.1-A3 (10 min.)All of the situations raise possibilities for violation of the integrity standard. In addition, the manager in each situation must address an additional ethical standard: 1. The General Mills manager must respect the confidentiality standard. He or sheshould not disclose any information about the new cereal. 2. Felix must address his level of competence for the assignment. If his supervisorknows his level of expertise and wants an analysis from a “layperson” point of view, he should do it. However, if the supervisor expects an expert analysis, Felix must disclose his lack of competence. 3. The credibility standard should cause Mary Sue to decline to omit the informationfrom the budget. It is relevant information, and its omission may mislead readers of the budget.3 Copyright ?2021 Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Prentice Hall.1-B1 (15-20 min.)Information is often useful for more than one function, so the following classifications for each activity are not definitive but serve as a starting point for discussion: 1.

Were selling prices set higher than expected? There should be some explanation for the lower cost of fireworks. The labor cost was $3,000÷ $15,000 =20% over budget. Sales and other costswere close to budget in percentage terms. Why was labor cost much higherthan expected?1-B3 (15 - 20 min.) 1. A code of conduct is a document specifying theethical standards of anorganization. 2. Different companies include different elements intheir codes of conduct. Some ofthe items included in companies’ codes of condu ct include maintaining adress code, avoiding illegal drugs, following instructions of superiors, being reliable and prompt, maintaining confidentiality, not accepting personal gifts fromstakeholders as a result of company role, avoiding racial or sexual discrimination, avoiding conflict of interest, complying with laws and regulations, not using organization’s property for personal use, andreporting illegal or questionable activity. Some companies have a simple code with little detail, and others have long lists of rules and regulations regarding appropriate conduct. The key is that the code of conduct must fit with the corporate culture. 3. Simply having a code of conduct does not guarantee ethical behavior byemployees. Most important is top management’s ethical example and its support of the code of conduct. A company’s performance evaluation and reward system must be consistent with its code of conduct. If unethical actions are rewarded, they will be encouraged even if they violate the code of conduct.5 Copyright ?2021 Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Prentice Hall.感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

A contribution format, which is similar to Exhibit 5-6, clarifies the analysis.Without WithSpecial Effect of SpecialOrder Special Order Order Units 2,000,000 150,000 2,150,000Total Per UnitSales $11,000,000 $660,000 $4.40 1$11,660,000 Less variable expenses:Manufacturing $ 3,500,000 $322,500 $2.15 2$ 3,822,500 Selling & administrative 800,000 35,250 .2353 835,250 Total variable expenses $ 4,300,000 $357,750 $2.385 $ 4,647,250 Contribution margin $ 6,700,000 $302,250 $2.015 $ 7,002,250 Less fixed expenses:Manufacturing $ 3,000,000 0 0.00 $ 3,000,000 Selling & administrative 2,200,000 0 0.00 2,200,000 Total fixed expenses $ 5,200,000 0 0.00 $ 5,200,000 Operating income $ 1,500,000 $302,250 $2.015 $ 1,802,250 1$660,000 ÷ 150,000 = $4.402Regular unit cost = $3,500,000 ÷ 2,000,000 = $1.75 Logo .40Variable manufacturing costs $2.153Regular unit cost = $800,000 ÷ 2,000,000 = $ .40 Less sales commissions not paid (3% of $5.50) (.165)Regular unit cost, excluding sales commission $ .2352. Operating income from selling 7.5% more units would increase by $302,250 ÷$1,500,000 = 20.15%. Note also that the average selling price on regularbusiness was $5.50. The full cost, including selling and administrative expenses, was $4.75. The $4.75, plus the 40¢ per logo, less savings in commissionsof .165¢ came to $4.985. The president apparently wanted $4.985 + .08($4.985)= $4.985 + .3988 = $5.3838 per pen.Most students will probably criticize the president for being too stubborn. Thecost to the company was the forgoing of $302,250 of income in order to protectthe company's image and general market position. Whether $302,250 was a wise investment in the future is a judgment that managers are paid for rendering.5-A3 (15-20 min.)The purpose of this problem is to underscore the idea that any of a number of general formulas might be used that, properly employed, would achieve the same target selling prices. Desired sales = $7,500,000 + $1,500,000 = $9,000,000.The target markup percentage would be:1. 100% of direct materials and direct labor costs of $4,500,000.Computation is: ($9,000,000 - $4,500,000) ÷ $4,500,000 = 100%2. 50% of the full cost of jobs of $6,000,000.Computation is: ($9,000,000 - $6,000,000) ÷ $6,000,000 = 50%3.

Their meaning maynot be exactly the same from company to company. Thus, "fully allocatedcost" in some companies may be used to refer to manufacturing costs only.3. Ricardo’s analysis is incorrect. He was on the right track, but he did notdistinguish sufficiently between variable and fixed costs. For example, whenmultiplying the additional quantity ordered by the $11 full manufacturing cost, hefailed to recognize that $2.00 of the $11 full manufacturing cost was a "unitized"fixed cost allocation. The first fallacy is in regarding the total fixed cost asthough it fluctuated like a variable cost. A unit fixed cost can be misleading if itis used as a basis for predicting how total costs will behave.A second false assumption is that no selling and administrative expenses will beaffected except commissions. Shipping expenses and advertising allowances willbe affected also -- unless arrangements with Costco on these items differ fromthe regular arrangements.The following summary, which is similar to Exhibit 5-6 in the textbook, is acorrect analysis.

The final result would be the same; in any event, the cost is relevantbecause it would not exist without the special order.Some instructors may wish to point out that a 5% increase in volume wouldcause an 11.7% increase in operating income, which seems like a highinvestment by Danube to maintain a rigid pricing policy.4. Ricardo is incorrect. Operating income would have declined from $3,000,000 to$2,850,000, a decline of $150,000. Ricardo’s faulty analysis follows:Old fixed manufacturing cost per unit,$4,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000 = $2.00 New fixed manufacturing cost per unit,$4,000,000 ÷ 2,500,000 = 1.60 "Savings" $ .40Loss on variable manufacturing costs per unit,$8.70 - $9.00 (.30) Net savings per unit in manufacturing costs $ .10The analytical pitfalls of unit-cost analysis can be avoided by using thecontribution approach and concentrating on the totals:Without Effect of WithSpecial Special SpecialOrder Order Order Sales $40,000,000 $4,350,000a$44,350,000Variable manufacturingcosts $18,000,000 $4,500,000b$22,500,000 Other variable costs 9,000,000 0 9,000,000 Total variable costs $27,000,000 $4,500,000 $31,500,000 Contribution margin $13,000,000 $ (150,000)c$12,850,000a500,000 × $8.70 selling price of special orderb 500,000 × $9.00 variable manufacturing cost per unit of special orderc 500,000 × $.30 negative contribution margin per unit of special orderNo matter how fixed manufacturing costs are unitized, or spread over the unitsproduced, their total of $4,000,000 remains unchanged by the special order.5-B3 (10-15 min.)1. Cost-plus pricing is adding a specified markup to cost to cover those components of the value chain not included in the cost plus a desired profit. In this case the markup is 30% of production cost.Price charged for piston pin = 1.30 × $50.00 = $65.00. If the estimated selling price is only $46 and this price cannot be influenced by Caterpillar, a manager would be unlikely to favor releasing this product for production.2. Target costing assumes the market price cannot be influenced by companies except by changing the value of the product to consumers. The price charged would then be the $46 estimated by market research.The highest acceptable manufactured cost or target cost, T, isDollarsTarget Price $ 46.00Target Cost TTarget Gross Margin $ .30T46 – T = .30T1.30T = 46T = 46 ÷ 1.30 = $35.383. The required cost reduction over the product’s life isExisting manufacturing cost $50.00Target manufacturing cost 35.38Required cost reduction $14.62Steps that Caterpillar managers can take to meet the required cost reduction include value engineering during the design phase, Kaizen costing during the production phase, and activity-based management throughout the product’s life.5-1 Precision is a measure of the accuracy of certain data. It is a quantifiable term. Relevance is an indication of the pertinence of certain facts for the problem at hand. Ideally, data should be both precise and relevant, but relevance generally takes priority.5-2 Decisions may have both quantitative and qualitative aspects corresponding to the nature of the facts being considered before deciding. Quantitative implications of alternative choices can be expressed in monetary or numerical terms, such as variable costs, initial investment, etc. Other relevant features may not be quantifiable, such as the quality of life in a choice between locating in San Francisco or New York. The advantage of quantitative information is that it is more objective and often easier to compare alternatives than with qualitative judgments.5-3 The accountant's role in decision-making is primarily that of a technical expert on relevant information analysis, especially relevant costs. The accountant is usually an information provider, not the decision maker, although the accountant may be part of a management team charged with making decisions.5-4 No. Only future costs that are different under different alternatives are relevant to a decision.5-5 Past data are unchangeable regardless of present or future action and thus would not differ under different alternatives.5-6 Past costs may be bases for formulating predictions. However, past costs are not inputs to the decision model itself because past costs cannot be changed by the decision.5-7 The contribution approach has several advantages over the absorption approach, including a better analysis of cost-volume-profit relationships, clearer presentation of all variable costs, and more relevant arrangement of data for such decisions as make-or-buy or product expansion.5-8 The terms that describe an income statement that emphasizes the differences between variable or fixed costs are contribution approach, variable costing, or direct costing.5-9 The commonalty of approach is the focus on the differences between future costs and revenues of different available alternatives.5-10 No, fixed costs are not always irrelevant. Often they are not relevant. However, they can be relevant if they are affected by the decision being considered.5-11 Customers are one of the factors influencing pricing decisions because they can buy or do without the product, they can make the product themselves, or they can usually purchase a similar product from another supplier.5-12 Target cost per unit is the average total unit cost over the product’s life cycle that will yield the desired profit margin.5-13 Value engineering is a cost-reduction technique, used primarily during the design function in the value chain, that uses information about all value chain functions to satisfy customer needs while reducing costs.5-14 Kaizen costing is the Japanese term for continuous improvement during manufacturing.5-15 In target costing, managers start with a market price. Then they try to design a product with costs low enough to be profitable at that price. Thus, prices essentially determine costs.5-16 Customer demands and requirements are important in the product development process. Many companies seek customer input on the design of product features. They seek to reduce non-value-added costs without affecting product features that are valuable to customers. Suppliers are also important. Companies purchase many of the materials used in products. They have to work with suppliers to get the lowest cost for these materials.5-17 Not necessarily. There are other important factors that management must consider before discontinuing a product. The product may be necessary to round out a product line. The product may be the company’s attempt to break into a new market area or new product class.5-18 The variable costs of a job can be misused as a guide to pricing. However, the adjusted markup percentages based on variable costs can have the same price result as those based on total costs, plus they have the advantage of indicating the minimum price at which any sale may be considered profitable even in the short run.5-19 Three examples of pricing decisions are (1) pricing new products, (2) pricing products sold under private labels, and (3) responding to new prices of a competitor's products.5-20 Three popular markup formulas are (1) as a percentage of variable manufacturing costs, (2) as a percentage of total variable costs, and (3) as a percentage of full costs.5-21 Two long-run effects that inhibit price cutting are (a) the effects on longer-run price structures and (b) the effects on longer-run relations with customers.5-22 Full costs are more popular than variable costs for pricing because price stability is encouraged and in the long run all costs must be recovered to stay in business.5-23 No. There is a confusion between total fixed costs and unit fixed costs. Increasing sales volume will decrease unit fixed costs, but not total fixed costs. This assumes that the volume increase results in operating levels that are still within the relevant range.5-24 Managers generally find contribution margin income statements more useful, especially if they are concerned with short-term results. The contribution margin statement provides information on the immediate profit impact of increases or decreases in sales.5-25 Marginal cost is the additional cost resulting from producing and selling one additional unit. It changes as production volume changes. With a given fixed capacity, marginal cost generally decreases up to a point and then increases. Variable cost is the accountant's approximation to marginal cost. It remains constant over the relevant range of volume. Because the difference between these two costs often is not material (within the relevant range), in such cases we can use the variable-cost estimate of marginal cost for decision-making purposes.5-26 Pricing decisions must be made within legal constraints. These laws help protect companies from predatory and discriminatory pricing. Predatory pricing involves setting prices so low that they drive competitors out of the market. Discriminatory pricing is charging different prices to different customers for the same product or service.5-27 Managers are directly involved in the research and development and the design functions. During the initial product research phase, managers often are involved in surveys, focus groups (with major airlines), and other market research activities to explore the potential for a new airplane. During process and product design, managers help with such tasks as negotiations with suppliers and cost analyses. Production managers provide input regarding cost reduction ideas. Marketing managers provide input regarding customer needs (a super large plane with more than 500 seats versus more medium-sized planes that can serve more markets). Distribution managers provide input regarding the costs of various channels of distribution. Finally, managers involved with customer relations provide input regarding the likely cost-to-serve profile for expected customers for a new product.5-28 (5 min.)All the data given are historical costs. Most students will identify the $5 and $7 prices as relevant. They will also declare that the $3 price of popcorn is irrelevant. Press them to see that the relevant admission prices are expected future costs that will differ between the alternatives. The past prices are being used as a basis for predicting the future prices.Similarly, the past prices of popcorn were not different. Hence, they are regarded as irrelevant under the assumption that the future prices will not differ.5-29 (20 min.) Some students may forget to apply the 10% wage rate increase to both alternatives.(1) Historical direct materials were $5.00per unit; direct labor was $6.00 per unit. (2) (2) Direct material costs are expected tofall by 10%, or 50¢ per unit. Directlabor costs are affected by a 10% rateincrease and a 5% increase in labortime if the new material is used.(3) (3) Cost comparisons per unit:Old NewMaterial MaterialDirect material $ 5.00 $ 4.50Direct labor$6.00 × 110% 6.60$6.00×110%×105% 6.93Expected futurecost $11.60 $11.43(4) The chosen action is implemented,and the evaluation of performance be-comes a principal source of feedback.This historical information aids thedecision process (prediction, decision,and implementation) of future decisions.5-30 (10 min.)Relevant costs are the future costs that differ between alternatives.

If maximizing operating income in the short run were the only goal, the ordershould be accepted. However, if qualitative considerations favoring rejection are worth more than the $300 increase in operating income, the manager wouldreject the offer. For example, accepting the offer from F. C. Kitsap may generate similar offers from other clubs who now willingly pay the $18 normal price.Lost profits on such business might more than offset the $300 gain on this sale.On the other hand, this might be a way of gaining F. C. Kitsap as a regularcustomer who will then buy other items that generate a profit well in excess ofthe $300.。

Rate = [$2,500 + ($.05 × 100,000)] ÷ 100,000 = $.075 per copy Cost allocated to City Planning in August = $.075 × 42,000 = $3,150. 2. Fixed cost pool allocated as a lump sum depending on predicted usage:To City Planning: (36,000 ÷ 100,000) × $2,500 = $900 per monthVariable cost pool allocated on the basis of actual usage: $.05 × number of copies Cost allocated to City Planning in August: $900 + ($.05 × 42,000) = $3,000. 3. The second method, the one that allocated fixed- and variable-cost pools separately, is preferable. It better recognizesthe causes of the costs. The fixed cost depends on the size of the photocopy machine, which is based on predicted usage and is independent of actual usage. Variable costs, in contrast are caused by actual usage.Exhibit 12-34Customer Type 1Customer Type 2 Customer Type 3 Sales Gross price profit per margin Gross Gross Gross Product unit per unit Units Revenue profit Units Revenue profit Units Revenue profitA $11.031$ 4.14 200 $ 2,206 $ 828 2,200 $ 24,266 $ 9,108 500 $ 5,515 $ 2,070 B 20.47 4.09 100 2,047 409 1,200 24,564 4,908 3,000 61,410 12,270 C 51.38 10.28 50 2,569 514 400 20,552 4,112 5,000 256,900 51,400D 90.00 39.38 400 36,000 15,752 800 72,000 31,504 400 36,000 15,752Total 750 $42,822 17,5034,600 $141,382 49,632 8,900 $359,825 81,492 Cost to serve 7,36845,193 87,439 Operating income $10,135 $4,439 ($5,947) Customer gross margin percentage 40.9% 35.1% 22.6% Cost to serve percentage 17.2% 32.0% 24.3%Customer operating income percentage 23.7%3.1% (1.7%)1$32,000 ÷ 2,900 units; etc. The rounded numbers from the first two columns are used in subsequent calculations.5.

See solution to problem 12-42.12-55 (100 – 200 min.)1. Exhibits 12-55A and 12-55B show the calculation of customer gross margin percentage and customer cost-to-serve percentage for the 4 customer types. Exhibit 12-55C shows a plot of customer gross margin percentage versus customer cost-to-serve percentage for the 4 customer types.2. Suggested strategies for profit improvement for the 4 customer types follow.•Customer type 1 - Mega stores. These stores have the lowest cost-to-serve.Profitability can be improved by focusing on a better product mix. A quarter ofthe sales (cases) to these stores are from bulk and singles products – both ofwhich have a negative gross margin. A shift in mix towards more regular andfragile product types would improve profitability.•Customer type 2 – Local small stores. These stores have a product mix that contains a substantial amount (32%) of the negative gross margin products. Thesame change in sales focus that applies to mega stores can be applied to localsmall stores.But unlike mega stores, small stores are very costly to serve. From Exhibit 12-55 B, the largest single cost to serve local small stores is truck deliveries. Theaverage number of cases per order (the same as per truck delivery) is 6,000,000 ÷ 80,000 = 75. Compare this to mega stores that average 7,680,000 ÷ 32,000 = 240 cases per order (delivery). This is a significant factor causing the high cost-to-serve.For example, suppose that the average order size could be increased from 75,000 to 150,000 cases. If the total annual cases sold is unchanged (6,000,000), a totalof 40 orders, a 50% reduction, would be made. An estimate of the cost savingsand the impact on the cost-to-serve percentage can be made as follows:Cost per Driver Unit Reduction in Driver Cost Savings(Exhibit 12-55B) Units of 50% (000) Truck delivery $167.55 34,000 $5,696.70 Order processing 27.49 40,000 1,099.60 Regular scheduling 5.83 36,000 209.88 Expedited scheduling 19.44 4,000 77.76 Total cost savings (000) $7,083.94 Cost savings as a percent of revenue 24.9%New cost-to-serve as a percent of revenue 60.1%In addition to the above savings, other activities would also be impacted by thereduction in orders such as customer service. So while the total impact ofCopyright ©2011 Pearson Education 472focusing on increasing order size can only be estimated, it is reasonable to expect dramatic cost savings from the current 85% of revenue.Other factors that should be investigated include the high level of corporatesupport and customer service.•Customer type 3 – Local large stores. Local large stores generate $68,400 ÷ $136,230 = 50% of DSI’s total revenue and with a net margin of 58% - 47% = 11%. The key to local large store profitability is sales of a large percentage (80%) of regular product. The cost-to-serve percentage is 47%. This could be reduced as for customer type 2 by increasing the order size from the current level of14,400,000 ÷ 120,000 = 120 cases per order. But a dramatic improvementshould not be expected. In general, local large stores are sustaining DSI’sbusiness and their loyalty should be cultivated.•Customer type 4 – Specialty stores. Specialty stores have a low gross margin of 22% coupled with a very large cost-to-serve percent of 106%! Although thesestores do not account for a significant portion of DSI’s revenue the companyshould rationalize their business. Several actions could be suggested. One is to charge a premium for all high-security products. The vast majority of theseproducts are sold to specialty stores with only marginal sales to mega and local small stores. Another action is to adopt a customer loyalty program based onvolume of sales. The list price of $7.25 per case would apply to customers with sales volumes less than a specified level. Most of DSI’s customers would qualify for discounts (similar to those currently existing) so prices would not besignificantly different. For specialty stores, prices would increase dramatically.This may result in losing specialty-store business so DSI needs to decide is this isa direction they wish to consider.Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education 473Exhibit 12-55A (Units and dollars are in thousands.)C u s t o m e r T y p eProductRegular Short Fragile Bulk HighSecurity Singles Total Gross Profit PercentageProduct mix percentage 60% 5% 5% 20% 5% 5% 100% Cases sold 4,608 384 384 1,536 384 3847,680Total Revenue$ 21,888 $ 1,824$ 1,824$7,296$ 1,824 $ 1,824 $36,480Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $(1.44)$ 0.54 $ (5.30)1Total Gross Profit$ 15,114 $ 607 $ 1,052 $(2,212)$ 207 $(2,035)$12,733 35%Product mix percentage 50% 5% 5% 30% 8% 2% 100% Cases sold3,000 300 300 1,800 480 120 6,000 Total Revenue @ 4.75/case $ 14,250 $ 1,425 $ 1,425 $ 8,550 $ 2,280 $ 570 $28,500 Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $ (1.44) $ 0.54 $ (5.30)2Total Gross Profit$ 9,840 $ 474 $ 822 $(2,592) $ 259 $ (636)$ 8,167 29%Product mix percentage 80% 0% 10% 10% 0% 0% 100%Cases sold 11,520 -1,4401,440--14,400Total Revenue @ 4.75/case $ 54,720 $ - $ 6,840 $ 6,840 $ - $ - $68,400Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $ (1.44) $ 0.54 $ (5.30)3Total Gross Profit$ 37,786 $ - $ 3,946 $(2,074) $ - $ - $39,658 58%Product mix percentage 10% 20% 0% 0% 70% 0% 100% Cases sold 60 120 - - 420-600Total Revenue @ 4.75/case $ 285 $ 570 $ - $ - $ 1,995 $ - $ 2,850 Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $ (1.44)$ 0.54 $ (5.30)4Total Gross Profit $ 197$ 190$ -$ -$ 227$ - $ 61322%Exhibit 12-55B (Units and dollars are in thousands.)ActivityO r d e r P r o c e s s i n gC u s t o m e r S e r v i c eO r d e r C h a n g e sC o r p o r a t e S u p p o r tR e g u l a r S c h e d u l i n gE x p e d i t e d S c h e d u l i n gS h i p p i n gT r u c k D e l i v e r yP a r c e l D e l i v e r y Cost DriverO r d e r sL a b o r H o u r sN u m b e r o f C h a n g e sL a b o r H o u r sO r d e r sO r d e r sP a l l e t sD e l i v e r i e sD e l i v e r i e sC u s t o m e r T y p eCost/DriverUnit $27.49 $43.34$32.63$51.66$5.83 $19.44 $6.60 $167.55 $23.89Total Driver Units3218.73.2 - 29 3 41625.6 1.6 Cost to Serve $879.68 $810.46$104.42-$169.07$58.32$2,745.6$4,289.28$38.22$9,095.05Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $36,480.001 Cost-to-Serve Percentage24.9%Driver Units 80 100 8 20 72 8 640 68 8Cost to Serve $2,199.2 $4,334$261.04$1,033.2 $419.76$155.52$4,224$11,393.4$191.12$24,211.24Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $28,500.02Cost-to-Serve Percentage85.0%Exhibit 12-55B (continued)ActivityO r d e r P r o c e s s i n gC u s t o m e r S e r v i c eO r d e r C h a n g e sC o r p o r a t e S u p p o r tR e g u l a r S c h e d u l i n gE x p e d i t e d S c h e d u l i n gS h i p p i n gT r u c k D e l i v e r y P a r c e l D e l i v e r y Cost DriverO r d e r sL a b o r H o u r sN u m b e r o f C h a n g e sL a b o r H o u r sO r d e r sO r d e r sP a l l e t sD e l i v e r i e sD e l i v e r i e sC u s t o m e r T y p eCost/DriverUnit $27.49 $43.34$32.63$51.66$5.83 $19.44 $6.60 $167.55 $23.89TotalDriver Units 120 70 2.4 80 108 12 840 90 6Cost to Serve$3,298.8 $3,033.8 $78.31$4,132.8 $629.64 $233.28 $5,544$15,079.5$143.34$32,173.47Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $68,400.03 Cost-to-Serve Percentage47.0%Driver Units 12 30 1.2 0 10 2 60 4.8 2.4Cost to Serve $329.88$1,300.2 $39.16- $58.3 $38.88 $396 $804.24 $57.34$3,023.99Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $2,850.004 Cost-to-Serve Percentage106.1%CUSTOMER PROFITABILITYCT3, 47%, 58%0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%110%120%COST-TO-SERVE PERCENTAGEG R O S S P R O F I T P E R C E N T A G EExhibit 12-55CCopyright ©2011 Pearson Education 478。

Operating income from selling 7.5% more units would increase by $302,250 ÷$1,500,000 = 20.15%. Note also that the average selling price on regularbusiness was $5.50. The full cost, including selling and administrative expenses, was $4.75. The $4.75, plus the 40¢ per logo, less savings in commissionsof .165¢ came to $4.985. The president apparently wanted $4.985 + .08($4.985)= $4.985 + .3988 = $5.3838 per pen.Most students will probably criticize the president for being too stubborn. Thecost to the company was the forgoing of $302,250 of income in order to protectthe company's image and general market position. Whether $302,250 was a wise investment in the future is a judgment that managers are paid for rendering.5-A3 (15-20 min.)The purpose of this problem is to underscore the idea that any of a number of general formulas might be used that, properly employed, would achieve the same target selling prices. Desired sales = $7,500,000 + $1,500,000 = $9,000,000.The target markup percentage would be:1. 100% of direct materials and direct labor costs of $4,500,000.Computation is: ($9,000,000 - $4,500,000) ÷ $4,500,000 = 100%2. 50% of the full cost of jobs of $6,000,000.Computation is: ($9,000,000 - $6,000,000) ÷ $6,000,000 = 50%3.

Their meaning maynot be exactly the same from company to company. Thus, "fully allocatedcost" in some companies may be used to refer to manufacturing costs only.3. Ricardo’s analysis is incorrect. He was on the right track, but he did notdistinguish sufficiently between variable and fixed costs. For example, whenmultiplying the additional quantity ordered by the $11 full manufacturing cost, hefailed to recognize that $2.00 of the $11 full manufacturing cost was a "unitized"fixed cost allocation. The first fallacy is in regarding the total fixed cost asthough it fluctuated like a variable cost. A unit fixed cost can be misleading if itis used as a basis for predicting how total costs will behave.A second false assumption is that no selling and administrative expenses will beaffected except commissions. Shipping expenses and advertising allowances willbe affected also -- unless arrangements with Costco on these items differ fromthe regular arrangements.The following summary, which is similar to Exhibit 5-6 in the textbook, is acorrect analysis.

The final result would be the same; in any event, the cost is relevantbecause it would not exist without the special order.Some instructors may wish to point out that a 5% increase in volume wouldcause an 11.7% increase in operating income, which seems like a highinvestment by Danube to maintain a rigid pricing policy.4. Ricardo is incorrect. Operating income would have declined from $3,000,000 to$2,850,000, a decline of $150,000. Ricardo’s faulty analysis follows:Old fixed manufacturing cost per unit,$4,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000 = $2.00 New fixed manufacturing cost per unit,$4,000,000 ÷ 2,500,000 = 1.60 "Savings" $ .40Loss on variable manufacturing costs per unit,$8.70 - $9.00 (.30) Net savings per unit in manufacturing costs $ .10The analytical pitfalls of unit-cost analysis can be avoided by using thecontribution approach and concentrating on the totals:Without Effect of WithSpecial Special SpecialOrder Order Order Sales $40,000,000 $4,350,000a$44,350,000Variable manufacturingcosts $18,000,000 $4,500,000b$22,500,000 Other variable costs 9,000,000 0 9,000,000 Total variable costs $27,000,000 $4,500,000 $31,500,000 Contribution margin $13,000,000 $ (150,000)c$12,850,000a500,000 × $8.70 selling price of special orderb 500,000 × $9.00 variable manufacturing cost per unit of special orderc 500,000 × $.30 negative contribution margin per unit of special orderNo matter how fixed manufacturing costs are unitized, or spread over the unitsproduced, their total of $4,000,000 remains unchanged by the special order.5-B3 (10-15 min.)1. Cost-plus pricing is adding a specified markup to cost to cover those components of the value chain not included in the cost plus a desired profit. In this case the markup is 30% of production cost.Price charged for piston pin = 1.30 × $50.00 = $65.00. If the estimated selling price is only $46 and this price cannot be influenced by Caterpillar, a manager would be unlikely to favor releasing this product for production.2. Target costing assumes the market price cannot be influenced by companies except by changing the value of the product to consumers. The price charged would then be the $46 estimated by market research.The highest acceptable manufactured cost or target cost, T, isDollarsTarget Price $ 46.00Target Cost TTarget Gross Margin $ .30T46 – T = .30T1.30T = 46T = 46 ÷ 1.30 = $35.383. The required cost reduction over the product’s life isExisting manufacturing cost $50.00Target manufacturing cost 35.38Required cost reduction $14.62Steps that Caterpillar managers can take to meet the required cost reduction include value engineering during the design phase, Kaizen costing during the production phase, and activity-based management throughout the product’s life.5-1 Precision is a measure of the accuracy of certain data. It is a quantifiable term. Relevance is an indication of the pertinence of certain facts for the problem at hand. Ideally, data should be both precise and relevant, but relevance generally takes priority.5-2 Decisions may have both quantitative and qualitative aspects corresponding to the nature of the facts being considered before deciding. Quantitative implications of alternative choices can be expressed in monetary or numerical terms, such as variable costs, initial investment, etc. Other relevant features may not be quantifiable, such as the quality of life in a choice between locating in San Francisco or New York. The advantage of quantitative information is that it is more objective and often easier to compare alternatives than with qualitative judgments.5-3 The accountant's role in decision-making is primarily that of a technical expert on relevant information analysis, especially relevant costs. The accountant is usually an information provider, not the decision maker, although the accountant may be part of a management team charged with making decisions.5-4 No. Only future costs that are different under different alternatives are relevant to a decision.5-5 Past data are unchangeable regardless of present or future action and thus would not differ under different alternatives.5-6 Past costs may be bases for formulating predictions. However, past costs are not inputs to the decision model itself because past costs cannot be changed by the decision.5-7 The contribution approach has several advantages over the absorption approach, including a better analysis of cost-volume-profit relationships, clearer presentation of all variable costs, and more relevant arrangement of data for such decisions as make-or-buy or product expansion.5-8 The terms that describe an income statement that emphasizes the differences between variable or fixed costs are contribution approach, variable costing, or direct costing.5-9 The commonalty of approach is the focus on the differences between future costs and revenues of different available alternatives.5-10 No, fixed costs are not always irrelevant. Often they are not relevant. However, they can be relevant if they are affected by the decision being considered.5-11 Customers are one of the factors influencing pricing decisions because they can buy or do without the product, they can make the product themselves, or they can usually purchase a similar product from another supplier.5-12 Target cost per unit is the average total unit cost over the product’s life cycle that will yield the desired profit margin.5-13 Value engineering is a cost-reduction technique, used primarily during the design function in the value chain, that uses information about all value chain functions to satisfy customer needs while reducing costs.5-14 Kaizen costing is the Japanese term for continuous improvement during manufacturing.5-15 In target costing, managers start with a market price. Then they try to design a product with costs low enough to be profitable at that price. Thus, prices essentially determine costs.5-16 Customer demands and requirements are important in the product development process. Many companies seek customer input on the design of product features. They seek to reduce non-value-added costs without affecting product features that are valuable to customers. Suppliers are also important. Companies purchase many of the materials used in products. They have to work with suppliers to get the lowest cost for these materials.5-17 Not necessarily. There are other important factors that management must consider before discontinuing a product. The product may be necessary to round out a product line. The product may be the company’s attempt to break into a new market area or new product class.5-18 The variable costs of a job can be misused as a guide to pricing. However, the adjusted markup percentages based on variable costs can have the same price result as those based on total costs, plus they have the advantage of indicating the minimum price at which any sale may be considered profitable even in the short run.5-19 Three examples of pricing decisions are (1) pricing new products, (2) pricing products sold under private labels, and (3) responding to new prices of a competitor's products.5-20 Three popular markup formulas are (1) as a percentage of variable manufacturing costs, (2) as a percentage of total variable costs, and (3) as a percentage of full costs.5-21 Two long-run effects that inhibit price cutting are (a) the effects on longer-run price structures and (b) the effects on longer-run relations with customers.5-22 Full costs are more popular than variable costs for pricing because price stability is encouraged and in the long run all costs must be recovered to stay in business.5-23 No. There is a confusion between total fixed costs and unit fixed costs. Increasing sales volume will decrease unit fixed costs, but not total fixed costs. This assumes that the volume increase results in operating levels that are still within the relevant range.5-24 Managers generally find contribution margin income statements more useful, especially if they are concerned with short-term results. The contribution margin statement provides information on the immediate profit impact of increases or decreases in sales.5-25 Marginal cost is the additional cost resulting from producing and selling one additional unit. It changes as production volume changes. With a given fixed capacity, marginal cost generally decreases up to a point and then increases. Variable cost is the accountant's approximation to marginal cost. It remains constant over the relevant range of volume. Because the difference between these two costs often is not material (within the relevant range), in such cases we can use the variable-cost estimate of marginal cost for decision-making purposes.5-26 Pricing decisions must be made within legal constraints. These laws help protect companies from predatory and discriminatory pricing. Predatory pricing involves setting prices so low that they drive competitors out of the market. Discriminatory pricing is charging different prices to different customers for the same product or service.5-27 Managers are directly involved in the research and development and the design functions. During the initial product research phase, managers often are involved in surveys, focus groups (with major airlines), and other market research activities to explore the potential for a new airplane. During process and product design, managers help with such tasks as negotiations with suppliers and cost analyses. Production managers provide input regarding cost reduction ideas. Marketing managers provide input regarding customer needs (a super large plane with more than 500 seats versus more medium-sized planes that can serve more markets). Distribution managers provide input regarding the costs of various channels of distribution. Finally, managers involved with customer relations provide input regarding the likely cost-to-serve profile for expected customers for a new product.5-28 (5 min.)All the data given are historical costs. Most students will identify the $5 and $7 prices as relevant. They will also declare that the $3 price of popcorn is irrelevant. Press them to see that the relevant admission prices are expected future costs that will differ between the alternatives. The past prices are being used as a basis for predicting the future prices.Similarly, the past prices of popcorn were not different. Hence, they are regarded as irrelevant under the assumption that the future prices will not differ.5-29 (20 min.) Some students may forget to apply the 10% wage rate increase to both alternatives.(1) Historical direct materials were $5.00per unit; direct labor was $6.00 per unit. (2) (2) Direct material costs are expected tofall by 10%, or 50¢ per unit. Directlabor costs are affected by a 10% rateincrease and a 5% increase in labortime if the new material is used.(3) (3) Cost comparisons per unit:Old NewMaterial MaterialDirect material $ 5.00 $ 4.50Direct labor$6.00 × 110% 6.60$6.00×110%×105% 6.93Expected futurecost $11.60 $11.43(4) The chosen action is implemented,and the evaluation of performance be-comes a principal source of feedback.This historical information aids thedecision process (prediction, decision,and implementation) of future decisions.5-30 (10 min.)Relevant costs are the future costs that differ between alternatives.

Kitsap may generate similar offers from other clubs who now willingly pay the $18 normal price.Lost profits on such business might more than offset the $300 gain on this sale.On the other hand, this might be a way of gaining F.

The key to this question is what will happen to the fixed overheadcosts if production of the boxes is discontinued. Assume that all$60,000 of fixed costs will continue. Then, Sunshine State willlose $20,000 by purchasing the boxes from Weyerhaeuser:Payment to Weyerhaeuser, 80,000 × $2.10 $168,000Costs saved, variable costs 148,000Additional costs $ 20,0002. Some subjective factors are:Might Weyerhaeuser raise prices if Sunshine State closed downits box-making facility?Will sub-contracting the box production affect the quality ofthe boxes?Is a timely supply of boxes assured, even if the number neededchanges?Does Sunshine State sacrifice proprietary information whendisclosing the box specifications to Weyerhaeuser?3. In this case the fixed costs are relevant. However, it is not thedepreciation on the old equipment that is relevant. It is the costof the new equipment. Annual cost savings by not producing theboxes now will be:Variable costs $148,000Investment avoided (annualized) 80,000Total saved $228,000 The payment to Weyerhaeuser is $228,000 - $168,000 = $60,000less than the savings, so Sunshine State would be $60,000 better off subcontracting the production of the boxes.6-A2 (10 min.)1.

This would mean dropping the depreciation item of $30,000 per year (a cumulative effect of $90,000) under the "keep" alternative, and dropping the book value item of $90,000 in the loss on disposal computation under the "buy" alternative.Difference for three years together, $60,000 - $30,000 = $30,000.Note the motivational factors here. A manager may be reluctantto replace simply because the large loss on disposal will severelyharm the profit performance in Year 1.3. The net difference for the three years taken together would beunaffected because the item is a past cost. You can substituteany number for the original $90,000 figure without changing this answer.For example, examine how the results would change in part (1) by inserting $1 million where the $90,000 now appears (inthousands of dollars):Keep: Replace:Three Years Three YearsTogether TogetherDifferenceReceipts, inflows from operations 120 234 114 Disbursements:Purchase of old equipment (1,000) (1,000) 0 Purchase of new equipment:Gross price (99)Disposal proceeds of "old" 15 -- ( 84) (84) Net cash outflow ( 880) ( 850) 30 In sum, this may be a horrible situation. The manager reallyblundered. But keeping the old equipment will compound theblunder to the cumulative tune of $30,000 over the next threeyears.4. Diplomatically, Lee should try to convey the following. All of ustend to indulge in the erroneous idea that we can soothe thewounded pride of a bad purchase decision by using the iteminstead of replacing it. The fallacy is believing that a current orfuture action can influence the long-run impact of a past outlay.All past costs are down the drain. Nothing can change what hasalready happened. The $90,000 has been spent. Subsequentaccounting for the item is irrelevant. The schedules in parts (1)and (2) clearly show that we may completely ignore the $90,000original outlay and still have a correct analysis. The importantpoint is that the $90,000 is not an element of difference betweenalternatives and, therefore, may be safely ignored. The onlyrelevant items are those expected future items that will differbetween alternatives.5. The $90,000 purchase of the original equipment, the sales, andthe other expenses are irrelevant because they are common toboth alternatives. The relevant items are the following (inthousands of dollars):Three YearsTogetherKeep Replace Operating of machine(3 × $60; 3 × $22) $180 $ 66 Incremental cost of new machine:Total cost $99Less proceeds of old machine 15Incremental cost -- 84 Total relevant costs $180 $150 Difference in favor of buying $ 306-B1 (15-20 min.)1.

If fixed manufacturing cost is applied to products at $1.00 permachine hour, it takes $.75 ÷ $1.00, or 3/4 of an hour toproduce one unit of XY-7. Similarly, it takes $.25 ÷ $1.00 or 1/4of an hour to produce BD-4.2. If there are 100,000 hours of capacity:XY-7: 100,000 hours ÷ 3/4 = 133,333 units.BD-4: 100,000 hours ÷ 1/4 = 400,000 units.Total contribution margins show that BD-4 should be produced, generating $200,000 of contribution margin, which is $66,667 more than would be earned by XY-7.Per Unit Units Total XY-7 $6.00 - ($3.00 + $2.00) = $1.00 133,333 $133,333 BD-4 $4.00 - ($1.50 + $2.00) = $ .50 400,000 $200,0006-B3 (15-20 min.)All amounts are in thousands of British pounds.The major lesson is that a product that shows an operating loss based on fully allocated costs may nevertheless be worth keeping. Why? Because it may produce a sufficiently high contribution to profit so that the firm would be better off with it than any other alternative.The emphasis should be on totals:Replace Magic Department WithExisting GeneralOperations Merchandise Electronic ProductsSales 6,000 -600 + 250 = 5,650 -600 + 200 = 5,600 Variable expenses 4,090 -390 + 175a= 3,875 -390 + 100 b= 3,800 Contribution margin 1,910 -210 + 75 = 1,775 -210 + 100 = 1,800 Fixed expenses 1,100 -120 + 0 = 980 -120 + 30 = 1,010 Operating income 810 - 90 + 75 = 795 - 90 + 70 = 790 a(100% - 30%) × 250b(100% - 50%) × 200The facts as stated indicate that the magic department should not be closed.

The latter is important, but it is not quantified in this problem.6-B6 (10 min.)1. The replacement alternative would be chosen because the countywould have $6,000 more cash accumulated in three years.2. The keep alternative would be chosen because the higher overallcosts of photocopying for the first year would be shown for thereplacement alternative (under accrual accounting):First YearKeep Replace Cash operating costs $14,000 $ 9,000 Depreciation expense 5,000 5,000 Loss on disposal 9,000 Total costs $19,000 $23,000 Thus, the performance evaluation model might motivate themanager to make a decision that would be undesirable in the longrun.6-1 An opportunity cost does not entail a disbursement of cash at any future time, whereas an outlay cost does entail an additional disbursement sooner or later.6-2 The $800 represents an opportunity cost. It is the amount forgone by rejecting an opportunity. It signifies that the value to the owner of keeping those strangers out of the summer house for that two-week period is at least $800.6-3 Accountants do not ordinarily record opportunity costs in accounting records because those records are traditionally concernedwith real transactions rather than possible transactions. It is impossible to record data on all lost opportunities.6-4 A differential cost is any difference in total cost or revenue between two alternatives. A differential cost is an incremental cost when one of the alternatives contains all the costs of the other plus someadditional costs. The additional costs are the incremental costs – which are also differential.6-5 No. Incremental cost has a broader meaning. It is the addition to total costs by the adoption of some course of action. Another term, marginal cost, is used by economists to indicate the addition to costs from the manufacture of one additional unit. Of course, marginal cost is indeed the incremental cost of one unit.6-6 The decline in costs would be called differential or incremental savings.6-7 Not necessarily. Qualitative factors can favor either making or buying. Often factors such as product quality and assurance of delivery schedules favor making. However, sometimes establishing long-term relationships with suppliers is an important qualitative factor favoring the purchase of components.6-8 The choice in many cases is not really whether to make or buy. Instead, the choice is how best to use available capacity.6-9 Yes. The costs that make a difference when a product or department is being deleted are the avoidable costs.6-10 Four examples of scarce factors are: (a) labor hours, (b) money (investment capital), (c) supervisory hours, and (d) computer hours.6-11 Joint products are two or more manufactured products that (1) have relatively significant sales values and (2) are not separately identifiable as individual products until their split-off point. Examples of joint products include chemicals, lumber, flour, and meat.6-12 The split-off point is where the individual products produced in a joint process become separately identifiable. Costs before the split-off point are irrelevant for decisions about the individual products. They affect the decision about whether to undertake the entire productionprocess, but they do not influence decisions about what to do with the individual products.6-13 Yes. Techniques for assigning joint-product costs to individual products are useful only for product costing, not for deciding on further processing after the split-off point. The product must be considered separately at that point apart from its joint cost. The proper basis of the decision on further processing is a comparison of incremental revenue versus incremental expense between the alternatives of selling at the split-off point and processing further.6-14 No. Once inventory has been purchased, the price paid is a sunk cost. It is true that selling at a price less than $5,000 would produce a reported loss. However, a sale at any price above $0 is economically beneficial provided that the only alternative is to scrap the inventory.6-15 No. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the replacement decision.6-16 No. Past costs are not relevant because they cannot be affected by a decision. Although past costs are often indispensable for formulating predictions, past costs themselves are not the predictions that are the inputs to decision models. Clear thinking is enhanced by these distinctions.6-17 Only b and c are relevant.a. Book value of old equipment is irrelevant to a replacementdecision because it does not change under any alternative andcannot be realized.b. Disposal value of old equipment is relevant to a replacementdecision because it can either be realized (by replacement) orforgone (by continued use).c. Cost of new equipment is relevant to a replacement decisionbecause it can be incurred (by replacement) or avoided (bycontinued use).6-18 Yes. Some expected future costs may be irrelevant because they will be the same under all feasible alternatives.6-19 Yes. The statement is correct in terms of total variable costs.6-20 Two reasons why unit costs should be analyzed with care in decision making are:1. Most unit costs are stable only over a certain range of output, andcare must be taken to see that allowances are made whenalternatives are considered outside that range.2. Some unit costs are an allocation of fixed costs; thus when ahigher volume of output is being considered, unit cost willdecrease proportionately, and vice versa.Two other reasons are mentioned in the text:1. Some unit costs are based on both relevant and irrelevant factorsand should be broken down further before being considered.2. Unit costs must be reduced to the same base (denominator) beforecomparing or combining them.6-21 Sales personnel sometimes neglect to point out that the unit costs are based on outputs far in excess of the volume of their prospective customer.6-22 An inconsistency between a decision model and a performance evaluation model occurs when a decision about whether to replace a piece of equipment is based on the cash flow effects over the life of the equipment but a manager's performance evaluation is based on the first year's reported income. The loss on disposal of the equipment is irrelevant for decision purposes, but it affects the first year income, hence the performance evaluation.6-23 The wide use of income statements to evaluate performance may overly influence managers to maximize short-run performance that may hurt long-run performance. They may pass up profitable opportunities to replace equipment because of the large loss on disposal shown on the first year’s income statement.6-24 Yes, this statement is generally correct. Accountants record transactions. But opportunity cost is the cost of transactions that do not occur (or have not occurred yet). It is the cost of opportunities forgone. Managers usually have much better information about forgone opportunities than do accountants.6-25 Deciding whether to outsource payroll functions requires estimates of the cost of designing, maintaining, and using a payroll system internally compared to the cost of a contract with an outside supplier. To operate an internal payroll system requires hiring personnel with the needed expertise in both legal/governmental issues affecting payroll and information processing to implement a system. Small companies often find it less costly to outsource payroll to a company that has broad expertise in these areas.6-26 Whenever total costs are unitized by dividing by total units and the resulting unit costs are then used to predict new total costs based on a different level of production, errors are being made if any of the costs are fixed. If the new production level is higher, predicted total costs are overestimated. If the new production level is lower, predicted total costs are underestimated. Never unitize fixed costs if the resulting unit cost will be used for planning purposes!Consider the following simple example:Fixed Cost Variable Cost TotalTotal $100 $100 $200Units ÷10÷10÷10Unit Cost $10 $10 $20If a new planned number of units is 20, what will be the new, predicted total cost?The correct cost function and cost prediction isTotal Cost = $100 + $10 × Number of units= $100 + $10 × 20 =$300The correct cost function is based on the two amounts that are constant within the relevant range – the total fixed cost and the unit variable cost.The incorrect unitized cost function and incorrect and overestimated prediction isTotal Cost = $20 × Number of units= $20 × 20= $400It is easy to see that the error comes from treating fixed costs as if they were variable.6-27 The amount paid for inventory is a sunk cost. Once a company has the inventory, it cannot change what it paid for it. Thus the only relevant issue is what can be done with the inventory. If there is a choice of selling the inventory for less than what the company paid for it or not selling it at all, it is certainly better to get something rather than nothing for it.6-28 (10-15 min.)1.

Obviously, if rent is higher, the advantage decreases.The above analysis does not contain explicit opportunity costs. If opportunity costs were a part of the analysis, the following presentation applies (whereby the interest on investment in bonds is not listed as a separate alternative but is regarded as a forgone alternative):Alternative Chosen:Hold Present HomeOpportunity cost $(10,000)Outlay cost 6,000Income effects per year $ (4,000)As before, the advantage of selling the home and renting is $4,000. The opportunity cost of home ownership is 5% × 200,000 = $10,000.6-30 (15-20 min.) Opportunity cost is the maximum available contribution to profit forgone by using limited resources for a particular purpose. In this case, the opportunity cost of the machine when analyzing the alternative to produce 12-oz. bottles of Juice Cocktails is $90,000, the larger of the $90,000 contribution margin from additional sales of the 100% Juices or the $75,000 proceeds from the sale of themachine. The $160,000 historical cost of the machine is a past cost and thus irrelevant.6-31 (15-20 min.)

Both answer the key query: What difference does it make? As a general rule, we prefer using the first tabulation. It is a straightforward presentation.6-32 (15 min.)1.

Because the quantitative difference is small, qualitative factorsmay dominate the decision. Companies using a just-in-timesystem need assurance of both quality and timeliness of suppliesof materials, parts, and components. A small, local company maynot be reliable enough for Bose. In essence, Bose may be willing to "invest" $30,000, the quantitative advantage of purchasing, inorder to have more control over the supply of the components.The division manager may have made the right decision for thewrong reason. He incorrectly ignored avoidable fixed costs, leading to a mistaken belief that making the components was less costly by $.20 per unit or $20,000 in total. The $50,000 of avoidable fixedcosts makes the purchase option less costly by $30,000. If themanager's decision is to make the component, it should bebecause forgoing profits of $30,000 has a long-run qualitativebenefit of more than $30,000, not because the bid is greater thanthe variable cost6-33 (20-25 min.)Nantucket Nectars should make the bottles.。

If the activity analysis is reliable, by using the current method,Evergreen Signs is predicting too much cost for signs that usefew power tool operations and is predicting too little cost forsigns that use many power tool operations. As a result thecompany could be losing jobs that require few power tooloperations because its bids are too high -- it could afford tobid less on these jobs. Conversely, the company could be gettingtoo many jobs that require many power tool operations, because its bids are too low -- given what the "true" costs will be, the company cannot afford these jobs at those prices. Either way, the sign business could be more profitable if the owner better understood and used activity analysis. Evergreen Signs would be advised to adopt the activity-analysis recommendation, but also to closely monitor costs to see if the activity-analysis predictions of support costs are accurate.3-A3 (25-30 min.)1. High-Low Method:Support Cost Machine HoursHigh month = September $13,500 1,750Low month = May 9,000 850Difference $ 4,500 900Variable cost per machine hour = Change in cost ÷ Change incost driver= $4,500 ÷ 900 = $5.00Fixed support cost per month = Total support cost - Variablesupport costAt the high point: = $13,500 - $5.00 × 1,750= $13,500 - $8,750= $ 4,750or at the low point: = $ 9,000 - $5.00 × 850= $ 9,000 - $4,250= $ 4,7502. The high-low method uses the high and low activity levels todetermine the cost function. Since the new October data formachine hours does not change either the high or low level therewould be no change in the analysis.3. The regression analysis results differ from the results of thehigh-low method. As a result, estimates of total support costmay differ considerably depending on the expected machine hourusage. For example, consider the following support costestimates at three levels of machine hour usage (all within therelevant range):Machine Hour Usage950 Hours 1,200 Hours 1,450 HoursHigh-Low:Fixed $4,750 $ 4,750 $ 4,750 Variable: $5.00 × 950 4,750$5.00 × 1,200 6,000$5.00 × 1,450 7,250 Total $9,500 $10,750 $12,000Regression:Fixed $3,355 $ 3,355 $ 3,355 Variable: $6.10 × 950 5,795$6.10 × 1,200 7,320$6.10 × 1,450 8,845 Total $9,150 $ 10,675 $12,200Because the high-low method has a lower variable cost estimate,the regression-based predictions exceed the high-low-basedpredictions at higher levels of machine usage, while the high-low estimates are greater at lower levels of usage. The high-lowmethod used only two data points, so the results may not bereliable. Fernandez would be advised to use the regressionresults, which are based on all relevant data.3-B1 (20-25 min.)The following classifications are open to debate. With appropriate assumptions, other answers could be equally supportable. For example, in #2, the health insurance would be a committed fixed cost if the number of employees will not change. This problem provides an opportunity to discuss various aspects of cost behavior. Students should make an assumption regarding the time period involved. For example, if the time period is short, say one month, more costs tend to be fixed. Over longer periods, more costs are variable. They also must assume something about the nature of the cost. For example, consider #4. Repairs and maintenance are often thought of as a single cost. However, repairs are more likely to vary with the amount of usage, making them variable, while maintenance is often on a fixed schedule regardless of activity, making them fixed.Another important point to make is the cost/benefit criterion applied to determining “true” cost behavior. A manager may accept a cost driver that is plausible but may have less reliability than an alternative due to the cost associated with maintaining data for the more reliable cost driver.Cost Cost Behavior Likely Cost Driver(s)1. X-ray operating cost Mixed Number of x-rays2. Insurance Step (or variable) Number of employees3. Cancer research Discretionary fixed4. Repairs Variable Number of patients5.

If the activity analyses are reliable, then boards with few manual operations are overcosted with the markup method, and boards with many manual operations are undercosted with the markup method.3-B3 (25-30 min.)Variable cost per machine hour = Change in Repair Cost ÷ Change in Machine Hours= (P260,000,000 –P200,000,000) ÷ (12,000– 8,000)= P15,000 per machine hourFixed cost per month = total cost - variable cost= P260,000,000 - P15,000 × 12,000= P260,000,000 - P180,000,000= P 80,000,000 per monthor = P200,000,000 - P15,000 × 8,000= P200,000,000 - P120,000,000= P 80,000,000 per month3-1 A cost driver is any output measure that is believed to cause costs to fluctuate in a predictable manner. For example, directlabor costs are probably driven by direct labor hours; materialscosts are probably driven by levels of product output; and support costs may be driven by a variety of drivers, such as output levels,product complexity, number of different products and/or parts, and so on.3-2 Linear cost behavior assumes that costs behave as a straight line.This line is anchored by an intercept, or fixed cost estimate, and total costs increase proportionately as cost driver activityincreases. The slope of the line is the estimate of variable cost per unit of cost driver activity.3-3 Whether to categorize a step cost either as a fixed cost or as a variable cost depends on the "size" of the steps (height and width) and on the desired accuracy of the description of step costbehavior. If the steps are wide, covering a wide range of costdriver activity, then within each range the cost may be regardedas fixed. If the steps are narrow and not too high, with smallchanges in cost, then the cost may be regarded as variable over awide range of activity level, with little error. If the steps are narrow and high, covering big changes in cost, then the costprobably should not be regarded as variable, since small changesin activity level can result in large changes in cost.3-4 Mixed costs are costs that contain both fixed and variable elements. A mixed cost has a fixed portion that is usually a cost per time period. This is the minimum mixed cost per period. Amixed cost also has a variable portion that is a cost per unit ofcost driver activity. The variable portion of a mixed costincreases proportionately with increases in the cost driver.3-5 In order to achieve the goals set for the organization, management makes critical choices -- choices that guide the future activities of the organization. These choices include decisions aboutlocations, products, services, organization structure, and so on.Choices about product or service attributes (mix, quality,features, performance, etc.), capacity (committed anddiscretionary fixed costs), technology (capital/laborconsiderations, alternative technologies), and incentives(standard-based performance evaluation) can greatly affect costbehavior.3-6 Some fixed costs are called capacity costs because the levels of these fixed costs are determined by management's strategicdecisions about the organization's expected levels of activities,or capacity.3-7 Committed fixed costs are costs that are often driven by the planned scale of operations. These costs typically cannot bechanged easily or quickly without drastically changing theoperations of the organization. Typical committed fixed costsinclude lease or mortgage payments, property taxes, and long-termmanagement compensation. Discretionary fixed costs are costs that may be necessary to achieve certain operational goals, but thereare no contractual obligations to continue these payments. Typical discretionary fixed costs include advertising, research and development, and employee training programs. The distinction between committed and discretionary fixed costs is that discretionary fixed costs are flexible and could be increased, decreased, or eliminated entirely on short notice if necessary, but committed fixed costs usually must be incurred for some time -- greater effort is needed to change or eliminate them.3-8 Committed fixed costs are the most difficult to change because long-term commitments generally have been made. These long-termcommitments may involve legal contracts that would be costly torenegotiate or dissolve. Committed fixed costs also are difficult to change because doing so may mean greatly changing the way theorganization conducts its activities. Changing these committedfixed costs may also mean changing organization structure,location, employment levels, and products or services.3-9 An organization’s capacity generally determines its committed fixed costs. Management’s choice is the main influence ondiscretionary fixed costs. Both committed and discretionary fixed costs depend on the organization's strategy relating to capacity, product attributes, and technology. These elements will determine long-term cost commitments (committed costs) and flexible spending responses to changes in the environment (discretionary costs).3-10 Both planning for and controlling discretionary costs are important. It is hard to say that one is more important than the other, but certainly effective use of discretionary costs requires prior planning. One would not know, however, if these costs hadbeen effective in meeting goals unless the organization has areliable and timely control system -- a means of checkingaccomplishments against goals.3-11 High technology production systems often mean higher fixed costs and lower variable costs.3-12 Incentives to control costs are means of making cost control in the best interests of the people responsible for making costexpenditures. A simple example will illustrate the use ofincentives to control costs. Assume that you are an executive who travels for business, purchases professional literature, and keeps current with personal computer technology. Under one incentivesystem, you simply bill the organization for all your travel andprofessional expenses. Under another system, you are given anannual budget for travel and professional needs. Which system do you think would cause you to be more careful about how you spendmoney for travel and professional needs? Most likely, the latter system would be more effective in controlling costs. Usually theseincentives are economic, but other non-financial incentives mayalso be effective.3-13 Use of cost functions, or algebraic representations of cost behavior, allows cost analysts or management to build models ofthe organization's cost behavior. These models can be used to aid planning and control activities. One common use of cost functions is in financial planning models, which are algebraic models of the cost and revenue behavior of the firm, essentially extended C-V-P models similar to those discussed in Chapter 2. Understandingrelationships between costs and cost drivers allows managers tomake better decisions.3-14 A "plausible" cost function is one that is intuitively sound. A cost function is plausible if a knowledgeable analyst can makesound economic justifications why a particular cost driver couldcause the cost in question. A "reliable" cost function is onethat accurately and consistently describes actual cost behavior,past and future. Both plausibility and reliability are essential to useful cost functions. It is difficult to say that one is more important than the other, but one would not have much confidencein the future use of a cost function that is not plausible, evenif past reliability (e.g., based on statistical measures) has been high. Likewise, one would not be confident using a cost function that is highly plausible, but that has not been shown to bereliable. The cost analyst should strive for plausible andreliable cost functions.3-15 Activity analysis identifies underlying causes of cost behavior (appropriate cost drivers) and measures the relationships of costs to their cost drivers. A variety of methods may be used tomeasure cost functions, including engineering analysis and account analysis.3-16 Engineering analysis is a method of identifying and measuring cost and cost driver relationships that does not require the use ofhistorical data. Engineering analysis proceeds by the use ofinterviews, experimentation, and observation of current costgenerating activities. Engineering analysis will be more reliable if the organization has had past experience with the activities.Account analysis is a method of identifying and measuring costsand cost driver relationships that depend explicitly on historical cost data. An analyst selects a single cost driver and classifies each cost account as fixed or variable with respect to that costdriver. Account analysis will be reliable if the analyst isskilled and if the data are relevant to future uses of the derived cost function.3-17 There are four general methods covered in this text to measure mixed costs using historical data: (1) account analysis, (2) high-low, (3) visual fit, and (4) regression.• Account analysis looks to the organization's cost accounts andclassifies each cost as either fixed, variable, or mixed withregard to an appropriate cost driver.• High-low analysis algebraically measures mixed cost behavior by constructing a straight line between the cost at the highestactivity level and that at the lowest activity level.• Visual-fit analysis seeks to place a straight line among datapoints on a plot of each cost and its appropriate cost driver.• Regression analysis fits a straight line to cost and activitydata according to statistical criteria.3-18 Engineering analysis and account analysis often are combined. One of the problems of account analysis is that historical data maycontain past inefficiencies. Therefore, account analysis measures what costs were, not necessarily what they should be. Differences in future costs may be desired and/or anticipated, and accountanalysis alone usually will not account for these differences.Engineering analysis may be combined with account analysis torevise account-based measures for desired improvements inefficiency and/or planned changes in inputs or processes.3-19 The strengths of the high-low method are also its weaknesses -- the method is simple to apply since it does not require extensive data or statistical sophistication. This simplicity also meansthat the method may not be reliable because it may not use all the relevant data that are available, and choice of the two points to measure the linear cost relationship is subjective. The methoditself also does not give any measures of reliability.The visual-fit method is an improvement over the high-low methodbecause it uses all the available (relevant) data. However, this method, too, may not be reliable since it relies on the analyst's judgment on where to place the line.3-20 The cost-driver level should be used to determine the two data points to be used to determine the cost function. Why?Because the high- and low-cost points are more likely to havemeasurement errors, an unusually high cost at the high-cost point and an unusually low cost at the low-cost point.3-21 Regression analysis is usually preferred to the high-low method (and the visual-fit method) because regression analysis uses allthe relevant data and because easy-to-use computer software doesthe analysis and provides useful measures of cost functionreliability. The major disadvantage of regression analysis isthat it requires statistical sophistication to use properly.Because the software is easy to use, many users of regressionanalysis may not be able to critically evaluate the output and may be misled to believe that they have developed a reliable costfunction when they have not.3-22 This is a deceptive statement, because it is true on the face of it, but regression also has many pitfalls for the unwary. Yes,regression software provides useful output that can be used toevaluate the reliability of the measured cost function. If oneunderstands the assumptions of least-squares regression, thisoutput can be used to critically evaluate the measured function.However, the regression software cannot evaluate the relevance or accuracy of the data that are used. Even though regressionanalysis is statistically objective, irrelevant or inaccurate data used as input will lead to unreliable cost functions, regardlessof the strength of the statistical indicators of reliability.3-23 Plotting data helps to identify outliers, that is, observations that are unusual and may indicate a situation that is notrepresentative of the environment for which cost predictions arebeing made. It can also show nonlinear cost behavior that canlead to transformations of the data before applying linearregression methods.3-24 R2 is a goodness-of-fit statistic that describes the percentage of variation in cost explained by changes in the cost driver.3-25 Control of costs does require measurement of cost behavior, either what costs have been or what costs should be. Problems of workrules and the like may make changing cost behavior difficult.There are tradeoffs, of course, and the instructor should expectthat students could get into an impassioned debate over where the balance lies -- union job protection versus improved efficiency.This debate gets to one of the major roles of accounting inorganizations, and it is important that students realize thataccounting does matter greatly to individuals, and, ultimately, to society.3-26 The fixed salary portion of the compensation is a fixed cost. It is independent of how much is sold. In contrast, the 5%commission is a variable cost. It varies directly with the amount of sales. Because the compensation is part fixed cost and partvariable cost, it is considered a mixed cost.3-27 Both depreciation and research and development costs are fixed costs because they are independent of the volume of operations.Depreciation is generally a committed fixed cost. Managers havelittle discretion over the amount of the cost. In contrast,research and development costs are discretionary fixed costsbecause their size is often the result of management’s judgment.3-28 Decision makers should know a product’s cost function if their decisions affect the amount of product produced. To know the cost impact of their decisions, decision makers apply the cost function to each possible volume of production. This is important in many decisions, such as pricing decisions, promotion and advertisingdecisions, sales staff deployment decisions, and many moredecisions that affect the volume of product that the companyproduces.3-29 Regression analysis is a statistical method of fitting a cost-function line to observed costs. It is objective; that is, eachcost analyst would come up with the same regression line, whereas different analysts might have different cost functions when usinga visual fit method. In addition, regression analysis providesmeasures of how well the cost-function line fits the data, so that managers know how much reliance they can put on cost predictionsthat use the cost function.3-30 (5 min.) Only (b) is a step cost.(a) This is a fixed cost. The same cost applies to all volumesin the relevant range.(b) This is a true step cost. Each time 15 students are added,the cost increases by the amount of one teacher’s salary.(c) This is a variable cost that may be different per unit atdifferent levels of volume. It is not a step cost. Why? Because each unit of product requires a particular amount of steel,regardless of the form in which the steel is purchased.3-31 (5 min.) The $8,000 is a fixed cost and the $52 per unit is a variable cost. By definition, adding a fixed cost and a variablecost together produces a mixed cost.3-32 (10-15 min.)1. Machining labor: G, number of units completed or labor hours2. Raw material: B, units produced; could also be D if the company’spurchases do not affect the price of the raw material.3. Annual wage: C or E (depending on work levels), labor hours4. Water bill: H, gallons used5. Quantity discounts: A, amount purchased6. Depreciation: E, capacity7. Sheet steel: D, number of implements of various types8. Salaries: F, number of solicitors9. Natural gas bill: C, energy usage3-33 (15 min.)The analysis is faulty because of the following errors.1. The scales used for both axes are incorrect. The space betweenequal intervals in number of orders and order-department costsshould be the same.2. The visual-fit line is too high, and the slope is too steep. Itappears that the line has been purposely drawn to pass through the (100,450) data point and the $200 point on the y-axis to simplifythe analysis. A visual-fit line most often will not pass throughany one data point. Choosing one point (any point) or a data point and the Y-intercept makes this similar to the high-low method,ignoring much of the information contained in the rest of the data.3. The total cost for 90 orders is wrong. Either the fixed costsshould be expressed in thousands of dollars or the unit variablecosts should be $2,000 per order. Even if the derived total costfunction was accurate, the resulting cost prediction is incorrect.The formula should be expressed as:Total cost (thousands of dollars) = $200 + $2.50 × Number of orders processed, orTotal cost = $200,000 + $2,500 × Number of orders processedThis would result in a predicted total cost for 90 orders of:Total cost (thousands of dollars) = $200 + $2.50 × 90 = $425, orTotal cost = $200,000 + $2,500 × 90 = $425,000.Correct AnalysisThe following graph has correctly constructed scales. The visualfit line shown indicates that fixed costs are about $200,000 andvariable cost is about $2,250 per order – a lower slope than thatshown in the text.The total cost function is:Total cost (thousands of dollars) = $200 + $2.25 × Number of orders, or Total cost = $200,000 + $2,250 × Number of ordersVariable cost (thousands of dollars) $180 ÷ 80 orders = $2.25The predicted total cost for 90 orders is:Total cost = $200,000 + $2,250 × 90 = $200,000 + $202,500 = $402,500.3-34 (15-20 min.) Amounts are in millions.1. 2001 2002Sales revenues $57 $116Less: Operating income (loss) (19) 18Operating expenses $76 $ 982. Change in operating expenses ÷ Change in revenues = Variable cost percentage($98 - $76) ÷ ($116 - $57) = $22 ÷ $59 = .37 or 37%Fixed cost = Total cost – Variable cost= $76 - .37 × $57= $55or= $98 - .37 × $116= $55Cost function = $55 + .37 × Sales revenue3. Because fixed costs to not change, the entire additional totalcontribution margin is added to operating income. The $57 salesrevenue in 2001 generated a total contribution margin of $57 × (1 - .37) = $36, which was $19 short of covering the $55 of fixedcost. But the additional $59 of sales revenue in 2002 generated a total contribution margin of $59 × (1 - .37) = $37 that could go directly to operating income because there was no increase infixed costs. It wiped out the $19 operating loss and left $18 of operating income.3-35 (10-15 min.)1. Fuel costs: $.40 × 16,000 miles per month = $6,400 per month.2. Equipment rental: $5,000 × 7 × 3 = $105,000 for seven pieces ofequipment for three months3. Ambulance and EMT cost: $1,200 × (2,400/200) = $1,200 × 12 =$14,4004. Purchasing: $7,500 + $5 × 4,000 = $27,500 for the month.3-36 (10-15 min.) There may be some disagreement about these classifications, but reasons for alternative classifications should be explored.Cost Discretionary Committed Advertising $22,000Depreciation $ 47,000Company health insurance 21,000 Management salaries 85,000Payment of long-term debt 50,000Property tax 32,000Grounds maintenance 9,000Office remodeling 21,000Research and development 46,000Totals $98,000 $235,0003-37 (15-20 min.)This problem extends the chapter analysis to preview short-run decision making and capital budgeting. This problem ignores taxes, investment cost, and the time value of money, which are covered in Chapter 11.Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Variable cost per order $8.00 $4.00Expected number of orders 70,000 70,000Annual variable costs $560,000 $280,000Annual fixed cost 200,000 400,000Annual total costs $760,000 $680,000Therefore, Alternative 2 is less costly than Alternative 1 by $80,000.Let X = the break-even number of orders, the level at which expected costs are equal.Costs for Alternative 1 = Costs for Alternative 2$200,000 + $8X = $400,000 + $4X$4X = $200,000X = 50,000 ordersAt 50,000 orders, the alternatives are equivalent. If order levels are expected to be below 50,000 orders, then Alternative 1 would have lower costs because fixed costs are lower. If orders are expected to be greater than 50,000, then Alternative 2 would have lower costs because variable costs are lower.3-38 (20-25 min.) A master of the scatter-diagrams with least-square regression lines and high-low lines appears in Exhibit 3-38 on the following page.This exercise enables a comparison of the high-low and visual-fit methods of decomposing mixed-costs into fixed and variable parts. Students find it interesting to compare their best guesses to the least-squares regression results. They find it interesting that a fairly complete and accurate analysis is possible based on a scatter-diagram and a little common sense. We normally have the class determine a “class best guess” before showing the transparency of the regression results.The exercise also introduces students to the concept of a hierarchy of activity levels, although this topic is not covered in the text. The literature contains discussions of four general levels of activities. Recognizing each of these levels can be an aid in choosing appropriate cost drivers. These levels and example cost drivers are:a. Unit-level activities -- performed each time a unit is produced(units of product, machine hours, labor hours).b. Batch-level activities -- performed each time a batch of goods isprocessed or handled (number of orders processed, number ofsetups, number of material moves).c. Product-level activities -- performed as needed to support theproduction of each different type of product (number of tests,number of parts, number of engineering change notices, hours ofdesign time, number of inspections).d. Facility-level activities -- sustain a facility’s generalmanufacturing process (square footage, number of employees, hours of training).In this exercise, a batch-level activity is involved -- setups.。

Among the major factors are (1) the range of expected volume (both large increases and decreases in volume make thepurchase of the parts relatively less desirable), (2) the reliability of the outside supplier, (3) possible changes inmaterial, labor, and overhead prices, (4) the possibility that the outside supplier can raise prices before the end of five years, (5) obsolescence of the products and equipment, and (6) alternate uses of available capacity (alternative uses make Alternative B relatively more desirable).Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education 466Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education467CHAPTER 12 Cost Allocation12-30 (10-15 min.) 1. Rate = [$2,500 + ($.05 × 100,000)] ÷ 100,000 = $.075 per copy Cost allocated to City Planning in August = $.075 × 42,000 = $3,150. 2. Fixed cost pool allocated as a lump sum depending on predicted usage:To City Planning: (36,000 ÷ 100,000) × $2,500 = $900 per monthVariable cost pool allocated on the basis of actual usage: $.05 × number of copies Cost allocated to City Planning in August: $900 + ($.05 × 42,000) = $3,000. 3. The second method, the one that allocated fixed- and variable-cost pools separately, is preferable. It better recognizesthe causes of the costs. The fixed cost depends on the size of the photocopy machine, which is based on predicted usage and is independent of actual usage. Variable costs, in contrast are caused by actual usage.Exhibit 12-34Customer Type 1Customer Type 2 Customer Type 3 Sales Gross price profit per margin Gross Gross Gross Product unit per unit Units Revenue profit Units Revenue profit Units Revenue profitA $11.031$ 4.14 200 $ 2,206 $ 828 2,200 $ 24,266 $ 9,108 500 $ 5,515 $ 2,070 B 20.47 4.09 100 2,047 409 1,200 24,564 4,908 3,000 61,410 12,270 C 51.38 10.28 50 2,569 514 400 20,552 4,112 5,000 256,900 51,400D 90.00 39.38 400 36,000 15,752 800 72,000 31,504 400 36,000 15,752Total 750 $42,822 17,5034,600 $141,382 49,632 8,900 $359,825 81,492 Cost to serve 7,36845,193 87,439 Operating income $10,135 $4,439 ($5,947) Customer gross margin percentage 40.9% 35.1% 22.6% Cost to serve percentage 17.2% 32.0% 24.3%Customer operating income percentage 23.7%3.1% (1.7%)1$32,000 ÷ 2,900 units; etc. The rounded numbers from the first two columns are used in subsequent calculations.5.

See solution to problem 12-42.12-55 (100 – 200 min.)1. Exhibits 12-55A and 12-55B show the calculation of customer gross margin percentage and customer cost-to-serve percentage for the 4 customer types. Exhibit 12-55C shows a plot of customer gross margin percentage versus customer cost-to-serve percentage for the 4 customer types.2. Suggested strategies for profit improvement for the 4 customer types follow.•Customer type 1 - Mega stores. These stores have the lowest cost-to-serve.Profitability can be improved by focusing on a better product mix. A quarter ofthe sales (cases) to these stores are from bulk and singles products – both ofwhich have a negative gross margin. A shift in mix towards more regular andfragile product types would improve profitability.•Customer type 2 – Local small stores. These stores have a product mix that contains a substantial amount (32%) of the negative gross margin products. Thesame change in sales focus that applies to mega stores can be applied to localsmall stores.But unlike mega stores, small stores are very costly to serve. From Exhibit 12-55 B, the largest single cost to serve local small stores is truck deliveries. Theaverage number of cases per order (the same as per truck delivery) is 6,000,000 ÷ 80,000 = 75. Compare this to mega stores that average 7,680,000 ÷ 32,000 = 240 cases per order (delivery). This is a significant factor causing the high cost-to-serve.For example, suppose that the average order size could be increased from 75,000 to 150,000 cases. If the total annual cases sold is unchanged (6,000,000), a totalof 40 orders, a 50% reduction, would be made. An estimate of the cost savingsand the impact on the cost-to-serve percentage can be made as follows:Cost per Driver Unit Reduction in Driver Cost Savings(Exhibit 12-55B) Units of 50% (000) Truck delivery $167.55 34,000 $5,696.70 Order processing 27.49 40,000 1,099.60 Regular scheduling 5.83 36,000 209.88 Expedited scheduling 19.44 4,000 77.76 Total cost savings (000) $7,083.94 Cost savings as a percent of revenue 24.9%New cost-to-serve as a percent of revenue 60.1%In addition to the above savings, other activities would also be impacted by thereduction in orders such as customer service. So while the total impact ofCopyright ©2011 Pearson Education 472focusing on increasing order size can only be estimated, it is reasonable to expect dramatic cost savings from the current 85% of revenue.Other factors that should be investigated include the high level of corporatesupport and customer service.•Customer type 3 – Local large stores. Local large stores generate $68,400 ÷ $136,230 = 50% of DSI’s total revenue and with a net margin of 58% - 47% = 11%. The key to local large store profitability is sales of a large percentage (80%) of regular product. The cost-to-serve percentage is 47%. This could be reduced as for customer type 2 by increasing the order size from the current level of14,400,000 ÷ 120,000 = 120 cases per order. But a dramatic improvementshould not be expected. In general, local large stores are sustaining DSI’sbusiness and their loyalty should be cultivated.•Customer type 4 – Specialty stores. Specialty stores have a low gross margin of 22% coupled with a very large cost-to-serve percent of 106%! Although thesestores do not account for a significant portion of DSI’s revenue the companyshould rationalize their business. Several actions could be suggested. One is to charge a premium for all high-security products. The vast majority of theseproducts are sold to specialty stores with only marginal sales to mega and local small stores. Another action is to adopt a customer loyalty program based onvolume of sales. The list price of $7.25 per case would apply to customers with sales volumes less than a specified level. Most of DSI’s customers would qualify for discounts (similar to those currently existing) so prices would not besignificantly different. For specialty stores, prices would increase dramatically.This may result in losing specialty-store business so DSI needs to decide is this isa direction they wish to consider.Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education 473Exhibit 12-55A (Units and dollars are in thousands.)C u s t o m e r T y p eProductRegular Short Fragile Bulk HighSecurity Singles Total Gross Profit PercentageProduct mix percentage 60% 5% 5% 20% 5% 5% 100% Cases sold 4,608 384 384 1,536 384 3847,680Total Revenue$ 21,888 $ 1,824$ 1,824$7,296$ 1,824 $ 1,824 $36,480Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $(1.44)$ 0.54 $ (5.30)1Total Gross Profit$ 15,114 $ 607 $ 1,052 $(2,212)$ 207 $(2,035)$12,733 35%Product mix percentage 50% 5% 5% 30% 8% 2% 100% Cases sold3,000 300 300 1,800 480 120 6,000 Total Revenue @ 4.75/case $ 14,250 $ 1,425 $ 1,425 $ 8,550 $ 2,280 $ 570 $28,500 Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $ (1.44) $ 0.54 $ (5.30)2Total Gross Profit$ 9,840 $ 474 $ 822 $(2,592) $ 259 $ (636)$ 8,167 29%Product mix percentage 80% 0% 10% 10% 0% 0% 100%Cases sold 11,520 -1,4401,440--14,400Total Revenue @ 4.75/case $ 54,720 $ - $ 6,840 $ 6,840 $ - $ - $68,400Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $ (1.44) $ 0.54 $ (5.30)3Total Gross Profit$ 37,786 $ - $ 3,946 $(2,074) $ - $ - $39,658 58%Product mix percentage 10% 20% 0% 0% 70% 0% 100% Cases sold 60 120 - - 420-600Total Revenue @ 4.75/case $ 285 $ 570 $ - $ - $ 1,995 $ - $ 2,850 Gross Profit per Case $ 3.28 $ 1.58 $ 2.74 $ (1.44)$ 0.54 $ (5.30)4Total Gross Profit $ 197$ 190$ -$ -$ 227$ - $ 61322%Exhibit 12-55B (Units and dollars are in thousands.)ActivityO r d e r P r o c e s s i n gC u s t o m e r S e r v i c eO r d e r C h a n g e sC o r p o r a t e S u p p o r tR e g u l a r S c h e d u l i n gE x p e d i t e d S c h e d u l i n gS h i p p i n gT r u c k D e l i v e r yP a r c e l D e l i v e r y Cost DriverO r d e r sL a b o r H o u r sN u m b e r o f C h a n g e sL a b o r H o u r sO r d e r sO r d e r sP a l l e t sD e l i v e r i e sD e l i v e r i e sC u s t o m e r T y p eCost/DriverUnit $27.49 $43.34$32.63$51.66$5.83 $19.44 $6.60 $167.55 $23.89Total Driver Units3218.73.2 - 29 3 41625.6 1.6 Cost to Serve $879.68 $810.46$104.42-$169.07$58.32$2,745.6$4,289.28$38.22$9,095.05Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $36,480.001 Cost-to-Serve Percentage24.9%Driver Units 80 100 8 20 72 8 640 68 8Cost to Serve $2,199.2 $4,334$261.04$1,033.2 $419.76$155.52$4,224$11,393.4$191.12$24,211.24Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $28,500.02Cost-to-Serve Percentage85.0%Exhibit 12-55B (continued)ActivityO r d e r P r o c e s s i n gC u s t o m e r S e r v i c eO r d e r C h a n g e sC o r p o r a t e S u p p o r tR e g u l a r S c h e d u l i n gE x p e d i t e d S c h e d u l i n gS h i p p i n gT r u c k D e l i v e r y P a r c e l D e l i v e r y Cost DriverO r d e r sL a b o r H o u r sN u m b e r o f C h a n g e sL a b o r H o u r sO r d e r sO r d e r sP a l l e t sD e l i v e r i e sD e l i v e r i e sC u s t o m e r T y p eCost/DriverUnit $27.49 $43.34$32.63$51.66$5.83 $19.44 $6.60 $167.55 $23.89TotalDriver Units 120 70 2.4 80 108 12 840 90 6Cost to Serve$3,298.8 $3,033.8 $78.31$4,132.8 $629.64 $233.28 $5,544$15,079.5$143.34$32,173.47Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $68,400.03 Cost-to-Serve Percentage47.0%Driver Units 12 30 1.2 0 10 2 60 4.8 2.4Cost to Serve $329.88$1,300.2 $39.16- $58.3 $38.88 $396 $804.24 $57.34$3,023.99Revenue (See Exhibit 12-55A) $2,850.004 Cost-to-Serve Percentage106.1%CUSTOMER PROFITABILITYCT3, 47%, 58%0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%110%120%COST-TO-SERVE PERCENTAGEG R O S S P R O F I T P E R C E N T A G EExhibit 12-55CCopyright ©2011 Pearson Education 478。

The key to this question is what will happen to the fixedoverhead costs if production of the boxes is discontinued.Assume that all $60,000 of fixed costs will continue. Then,Sunshine State will lose $20,000 by purchasing the boxes fromWeyerhaeuser:Payment to Weyerhaeuser, 80,000 × $2.10$168,000Costs saved, variable costs 148,000Additional costs $ 20,0002. Some subjective factors are:Might Weyerhaeuser raise prices if Sunshine State closed downits box-making facility?Will sub-contracting the box production affect the quality ofthe boxes?Is a timely supply of boxes assured, even if the number neededchanges?Does Sunshine State sacrifice proprietary information whendisclosing the box specifications to Weyerhaeuser?3. In this case the fixed costs are relevant. However, it is notthe depreciation on the old equipment that is relevant. It isthe cost of the new equipment. Annual cost savings by not producing the boxes now will be:Variable costs $148,000Investment avoided (annualized) 80,000Total saved $228,000The payment to Weyerhaeuser is $228,000 - $168,000 = $60,000 less than the savings, so Sunshine State would be $60,000 better off subcontracting the production of the boxes.6-A2 (10 min.)1.

The plain circular saws are the best use of the scarce machinehours. For a given capacity, the criterion for maximizingprofits is to obtain the greatest possible contribution to profitfor each unit of the limiting or scarce factor. Moreover, fixedcosts are irrelevant unless their total is affected by the choiceof products.6-A3 (15 min.) Table is in thousands of dollars.1,2.

The overall operating income would be $44,000, as follows:Sales: $54,000 + $32,000 + $175,000 $261,000Joint cost of goods sold $117,000Separable cost of goods sold 100,000 217,000 Operating income $ 44,000Compare this with the present operating income of $28,000. That is, $230,000 + $330,000 + $175,000 - ($190,000 + $300,000 + $100,000 + $117,000) = $28,000. The extra $16,000 of operating income comes from eliminating the $16,000 loss resulting from processing Products A and B beyond the split-off point.6-A4 (30-40 min.)Problem 6-60 is an extension of this problem.

However, note that a statement for the entire year was requested.The difference for three years taken together is $60,000 - $30,000 = $30,000. Note particularly that the $90,000 book value can be omitted from the comparison.

This would mean dropping the depreciation item of $30,000 per year (a cumulativeeffect of $90,000) under the "keep" alternative, and dropping the book value item of $90,000 in the loss on disposal computation under the "buy" alternative.Difference for three years together, $60,000 - $30,000 = $30,000.Note the motivational factors here. A manager may be reluctantto replace simply because the large loss on disposal willseverely harm the profit performance in Year 1.3. The net difference for the three years taken together would beunaffected because the item is a past cost. You can substituteany number for the original $90,000 figure without changing thisanswer.For example, examine how the results would change in part (1) by inserting $1 million where the $90,000 now appears (in thousandsof dollars):Keep: Replace:Three Years Three YearsTogether TogetherDifferenceReceipts, inflows from operations 120 234 114 Disbursements:Purchase of old equipment (1,000) (1,000) 0 Purchase of new equipment:Gross price (99)Disposal proceeds of "old" 15 -- ( 84) (84) Net cash outflow ( 880) ( 850) 30In sum, this may be a horrible situation. The manager reallyblundered. But keeping the old equipment will compound theblunder to the cumulative tune of $30,000 over the next threeyears.4. Diplomatically, Lee should try to convey the following. All ofus tend to indulge in the erroneous idea that we can soothe thewounded pride of a bad purchase decision by using the iteminstead of replacing it. The fallacy is believing that a current or future action can influence the long-run impact of a pastoutlay. All past costs are down the drain. Nothing can changewhat has already happened. The $90,000 has been spent.Subsequent accounting for the item is irrelevant. The schedulesin parts (1) and (2) clearly show that we may completely ignorethe $90,000 original outlay and still have a correct analysis.The important point is that the $90,000 is not an element ofdifference between alternatives and, therefore, may be safelyignored. The only relevant items are those expected future items that will differ between alternatives.5. The $90,000 purchase of the original equipment, the sales, andthe other expenses are irrelevant because they are common to both alternatives. The relevant items are the following (in thousands of dollars):Three YearsTogetherKeep Replace Operating of machine(3 × $60; 3 × $22)$180 $ 66 Incremental cost of new machine:Total cost $99Less proceeds of old machine 15Incremental cost -- 84 Total relevant costs $180 $150Difference in favor of buying $ 306-B1 (15-20 min.)1.

If fixed manufacturing cost is applied to products at $1.00 permachine hou r, it takes $.75 ÷ $1.00, or 3/4 of an hour toproduce one unit of XY-7. Similarly, it takes $.25 ÷ $1.00 or1/4 of an hour to produce BD-4.2. If there are 100,000 hours of capacity:XY-7: 100,000 hours ÷ 3/4 = 133,333 units.BD-4: 100,000 hours ÷ 1/4 = 400,000 units.Total contribution margins show that BD-4 should be produced, generating $200,000 of contribution margin, which is $66,667 more than would be earned by XY-7.Per Unit UnitsTotalXY-7 $6.00 - ($3.00 + $2.00) = $1.00 133,333 $133,333 BD-4 $4.00 - ($1.50 + $2.00) = $ .50 400,000 $200,0006-B3 (15-20 min.)All amounts are in thousands of British pounds.The major lesson is that a product that shows an operating loss based on fully allocated costs may nevertheless be worth keeping. Why? Because it may produce a sufficiently high contribution to profit sothat the firm would be better off with it than any other alternative.The emphasis should be on totals:Replace Magic Department WithExisting GeneralOperations Merchandise ElectronicProductsSales 6,000 -600 + 250 = 5,650 -600 + 200 = 5,600 Variable expenses 4,090 -390 + 175a= 3,875 -390 + 100 b = 3,800 Contribution margin 1,910 -210 + 75 = 1,775 -210 + 100 = 1,800 Fixed expenses 1,100 -120 + 0= 980 -120 + 30 = 1, Operating income 810 - 90 + 75= 795 - 90 + 70= 790a(100% - 30%) × 250b(100% - 50%) × 200The facts as stated indicate that the magic department should notbe closed. First, the total operating income would drop. Second, fewer customers would come to the store, so sales in other departments may be affected adversely.6-B4 (15 min.)1.

The latter is important, but it is not quantified in this problem.6-B6 (10 min.)1. The replacement alternative would be chosen because the countywould have $6,000 more cash accumulated in three years.2. The keep alternative would be chosen because the higher overallcosts of photocopying for the first year would be shown for thereplacement alternative (under accrual accounting):First YearKeep Replace Cash operating costs $14,000 $ 9,000 Depreciation expense 5,000 5,000 Loss on disposal 9,000 Total costs $19,000 $23,000Thus, the performance evaluation model might motivate the managerto make a decision that would be undesirable in the long run.6-1 An opportunity cost does not entail a disbursement of cash at any future time, whereas an outlay cost does entail an additional disbursement sooner or later.6-2 The $800 represents an opportunity cost. It is the amountforgone by rejecting an opportunity. It signifies that the value to the owner of keeping those strangers out of the summer house for that two-week period is at least $800.6-3 Accountants do not ordinarily record opportunity costs in accounting records because those records are traditionally concernedwith real transactions rather than possible transactions. It is impossible to record data on all lost opportunities.6-4 A differential cost is any difference in total cost or revenue between two alternatives. A differential cost is an incremental cost when one of the alternatives contains all the costs of the other plus some additional costs. The additional costs are the incremental costs– which are also differential.6-5 No. Incremental cost has a broader meaning. It is the addition to total costs by the adoption of some course of action. Another term, marginal cost, is used by economists to indicate the addition to costsfrom the manufacture of one additional unit. Of course, marginal cost is indeed the incremental cost of one unit.6-6 The decline in costs would be called differential or incremental savings.6-7 Not necessarily. Qualitative factors can favor either making or buying. Often factors such as product quality and assurance of delivery schedules favor making. However, sometimes establishing long-term relationships with suppliers is an important qualitative factor favoring the purchase of components.6-8 The choice in many cases is not really whether to make or buy. Instead, the choice is how best to use available capacity.6-9 Yes. The costs that make a difference when a product or department is being deleted are the avoidable costs.6-10 Four examples of scarce factors are: (a) labor hours, (b) money (investment capital), (c) supervisory hours, and (d) computer hours.6-11 Joint products are two or more manufactured products that (1) have relatively significant sales values and (2) are not separately identifiable as individual products until their split-off point. Examples of joint products include chemicals, lumber, flour, and meat.6-12 The split-off point is where the individual products produced in a joint process become separately identifiable. Costs before the split-off point are irrelevant for decisions about the individual products. They affect the decision about whether to undertake the entire production process, but they do not influence decisions about what to do with the individual products.6-13 Yes. Techniques for assigning joint-product costs to individual products are useful only for product costing, not for deciding onfurther processing after the split-off point. The product must be considered separately at that point apart from its joint cost. The proper basis of the decision on further processing is a comparison of incremental revenue versus incremental expense between the alternatives of selling at the split-off point and processing further.6-14 No. Once inventory has been purchased, the price paid is a sunk cost. It is true that selling at a price less than $5,000 would produce a reported loss. However, a sale at any price above $0 is economically beneficial provided that the only alternative is to scrap the inventory.6-15 No. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the replacement decision.6-16 No. Past costs are not relevant because they cannot be affected by a decision. Although past costs are often indispensable for formulating predictions, past costs themselves are not the predictions that are the inputs to decision models. Clear thinking is enhanced by these distinctions.6-17 Only b and c are relevant.a. Book value of old equipment is irrelevant to a replacementdecision because it does not change under any alternative andcannot be realized.b. Disposal value of old equipment is relevant to a replacementdecision because it can either be realized (by replacement) orforgone (by continued use).c. Cost of new equipment is relevant to a replacement decisionbecause it can be incurred (by replacement) or avoided (bycontinued use).6-18 Yes. Some expected future costs may be irrelevant because they will be the same under all feasible alternatives.6-19 Yes. The statement is correct in terms of total variable costs.6-20 Two reasons why unit costs should be analyzed with care in decision making are:1. Most unit costs are stable only over a certain range of output,and care must be taken to see that allowances are made whenalternatives are considered outside that range.2. Some unit costs are an allocation of fixed costs; thus when ahigher volume of output is being considered, unit cost willdecrease proportionately, and vice versa.Two other reasons are mentioned in the text:1. Some unit costs are based on both relevant and irrelevant factorsand should be broken down further before being considered.2. Unit costs must be reduced to the same base (denominator) beforecomparing or combining them.6-21 Sales personnel sometimes neglect to point out that the unit costs are based on outputs far in excess of the volume of their prospective customer.6-22 An inconsistency between a decision model and a performance evaluation model occurs when a decision about whether to replace a piece of equipment is based on the cash flow effects over the life of the equipment but a manager's performance evaluation is based on the first year's reported income. The loss on disposal of the equipment isirrelevant for decision purposes, but it affects the first year income, hence the performance evaluation.6-23 The wide use of income statements to evaluate performance may overly influence managers to maximize short-run performance that may hurt long-run performance. They may pass up profitable opportunities to replace equipment because of the large loss on disposal shown on thefirst year’s income statement.6-24 Yes, this statement is generally correct. Accountants record transactions. But opportunity cost is the cost of transactions that do not occur (or have not occurred yet). It is the cost of opportunities forgone. Managers usually have much better information about forgone opportunities than do accountants.6-25 Deciding whether to outsource payroll functions requires estimates of the cost of designing, maintaining, and using a payroll system internally compared to the cost of a contract with an outside supplier. To operate an internal payroll system requires hiring personnel with the needed expertise in both legal/governmental issues affecting payroll and information processing to implement a system. Small companies often find it less costly to outsource payroll to a company that has broad expertise in these areas.6-26 Whenever total costs are unitized by dividing by total units and the resulting unit costs are then used to predict new total costs based on a different level of production, errors are being made if any of the costs are fixed. If the new production level is higher, predicted total costs are overestimated. If the new production level is lower, predicted total costs are underestimated. Never unitize fixed costs if the resulting unit cost will be used for planning purposes!Consider the following simple example:Fixed Cost Variable Cost TotalTotal $100 $100 $200Units ÷10÷10÷10Unit Cost $10 $10 $20If a new planned number of units is 20, what will be the new, predicted total cost?The correct cost function and cost prediction isTotal Cost = $100 + $10 × Number of units= $100 + $10 × 20 =$300The correct cost function is based on the two amounts that are constant within the relevant range – the total fixed cost and the unit variable cost.The incorrect unitized cost function and incorrect and overestimated prediction isTotal Cost = $20 × Number of units= $20 × 20= $400It is easy to see that the error comes from treating fixed costs as if they were variable.6-27 The amount paid for inventory is a sunk cost. Once a company has the inventory, it cannot change what it paid for it. Thus the only relevant issue is what can be done with the inventory. If there is a choice of selling the inventory for less than what the company paid for it or not selling it at all, it is certainly better to get something rather than nothing for it.6-28 (10-15 min.)1.

Obviously, if rent is higher, the advantage decreases.The above analysis does not contain explicit opportunity costs. If opportunity costs were a part of the analysis, the following presentation applies (whereby the interest on investment in bonds is not listed as a separate alternative but is regarded as a forgone alternative):Alternative Chosen:Hold Present HomeOpportunity cost $(10,000)Outlay cost 6,000Income effects per year $ (4,000)As before, the advantage of selling the home and renting is$4,000. The opportunity cost of home ownership is 5% × 200,000 = $10,000.6-30 (15-20 min.) Opportunity cost is the maximum available contribution to profit forgone by using limited resources for a particular purpose. In this case, the opportunity cost of the machine when analyzing the alternative to produce 12-oz. bottles of Juice Cocktails is $90,000, the larger of the $90,000 contribution margin from additional sales of the 100% Juices or the $75,000 proceeds from the sale of the machine. The $160,000 historical cost of the machine is a past cost and thus irrelevant.6-31 (15-20 min.)

Both answer the key query: What difference does it make? As a general rule, we prefer using the first tabulation. It is a straightforward presentation.6-32 (15 min.)1.

Because the quantitative difference is small, qualitative factorsmay dominate the decision. Companies using a just-in-time systemneed assurance of both quality and timeliness of supplies ofmaterials, parts, and components. A small, local company may notbe reliable enough for Bose. In essence, Bose may be willing to"invest" $30,000, the quantitative advantage of purchasing, inorder to have more control over the supply of the components.The division manager may have made the right decision for thewrong reason. He incorrectly ignored avoidable fixed costs,leading to a mistaken belief that making the components was lesscostly by $.20 per unit or $20,000 in total. The $50,000 ofavoidable fixed costs makes the purchase option less costly by$30,000. If the manager's decision is to make the component, itshould be because forgoing profits of $30,000 has a long-runqualitative benefit of more than $30,000, not because the bid isgreater than the variable cost6-33 (20-25 min.)Nantucket Nectars should make the bottles.Make BuyPer PerTotal Bottle Total Bottle Purchase cost $250,000 $.250 Direct materials $80,000 $.080Direct labor 30,000 .030Variable overhead 60,000 .060Avoidable fixedoverhead 60,000 .060 Total relevant costs $230,000 $.230 $250,000 $.250。

The balance sheet for the merchandiser (Nile) has just one line forinventories, the ending inventory of the items purchased for resale.The balance sheet for the manufacturer (Orinoco) has three items:direct materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and finishedgoods inventory.The income statements are similar except for the computation of cost of goods available for sale. The merchandiser (Nile) simply showspurchases for the year plus beginning inventory. In contrast, themanufacturer (Orinoco) shows beginning work-in-process inventory plusthe three categories of cost that comprise manufacturing cost (directmaterials used, direct labor, and factory (or manufacturing) overhead)and then deducts the ending work-in-process inventory. The manufacturer then adds the beginning finished goods inventory to this cost of goodsmanufactured to get the cost of goods available for sale.6. The purpose is providing aggregate measures of inventory value and costof goods manufactured for external reporting to investors, creditors,and other external stakeholders.4-A3 (10-15 min.)There can be many justifiable answers for each item other than thelisted cost driver and behavior. The purpose of this exercise is togenerate an active discussion regarding those chosen by First Bank’smanagers. One point that should be emphasized is that many timesmanagers choose cost drivers that are not the most plausible or reliable because of lack of data availability. Cost drivers are also used as abasis to allocate activity and resource costs and so the availability of data is often an important consideration.ActivityOr CostResource Cost Driver Behaviora.* R Number of square feet Fb.** R Number of person hours Fc.

R Number of person hours Vj. R Number of minutes Vk. R Number of person hours Fl. A Number of loans* An argument can be made that maintenance of the building is an activity.If this was the case, resources such as supplies and labor would be resources consumed, and several resource cost drivers would be needed. In addition, a separate resource and associated cost driver would be needed for insurance costs. However, the company had a contract for maintenance (fixed price), so this was a fixed-cost resource that was added to other occupancy costs such as insurance. The cost driver chosen for all these occupancy costs was square feet occupied by the various departments.** Normally, the cost driver used for any labor resource is person hours.It is assumed that the staff person hours used are regular hours rather than overtime or temporary labor hours. Thus, the cost is fixed with respect to changes in hours used. As the hours used increases (decreases) theutilization of the resources increases (decreases) and eventually, management will need to make a decision whether to expand capacity (or whether to cutback on labor). This is an example of a step cost that is fixed over wideranges of cost-driver level.*** Students may try to determine the cost behavior of activities even thoughthe problem requirements do not ask for it. Point out that activities almostalways have mixed cost behavior because they consume various resources. Someof these are fixed-cost and others variable-cost resources. For example, theactivity “research to evaluate a loan application” consumes such fixed-costresources as manager labor time and computers (assumed owned by the bank).This activity also consumes variable-cost resources such as telecommunicationstime and external computing services.4-A4 (20-30 min.)1. The first step is to determine the cost per cost-driver unit for eachactivity:Monthly Cost- Cost perManufacturing Driver DriverActivity [Cost driver] Overhead Activity UnitMaterial Handling [Direct materials cost] $12,000 $200,000$ 0.06Engineering [Engineering change notices] 20,000 20 1,000.00Power [Kilowatt hours] 16,000 400,000 0.04Total Manufacturing Overhead $48,000Next, the costs of each activity can be allocated to each of the threeproducts:PHYSICAL FLOW / ALLOCATED COSTCost Senior Basic DeluxeMaterial Handling$.06 × 25,000 = $1,500$.06 × 50,000 = $ 3,000$.06 × 125,000 = $ 7,5 Engineering $1,000 × 13 = 13,000$1,000 × 5 = 5,000$1,000 × 2 = 2,000Power $.04 × 50,000 = 2,000$.04 × 200,000 = 8,000$.04 × 150,000 = 6,000 Total $16,500 $16,000 $15,5002. Overhead rate based on direct labor costs:Rate = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Total direct labor cost= $48,000 ÷ $8,000 = $6.00/DL$Overhead allocated to each product is:Senior: $6.00 × 4,000 = $24,000Basic: $6.00 × 1,000 = 6,000Deluxe: $6.00 × 3,000 = 18,000Total $48,000Notice that much less manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to Basic using direct labor as a cost driver. Why? Because Basic uses only asmall amount of labor but large amounts of other resources, especially power.3. The product costs in requirement 1 are more accurate if the costdrivers are good indicators of the causes of the costs -- they are both plausible and reliable. For example, kilowatt hours is certainly abetter measure of the cost of power costs than is direct labor hours.Therefore, the allocation of power costs in requirement 1 is certainly better than in requirement 2. Materials handling and engineering arelikewise more plausible. A manager would be much more confident in the manufacturing overhead allocated to products in requirement 1.Remember, however, that there are incremental costs of data collection associated with the more accurate ABC system. The benefit/costcriteria must be applied in deciding which costing system is “best.”4-B1 (20-30 min.)See Table 4-B1 on the following page.4-B2 (25-30 min.)1. $1,080,000 ÷ 45,000 hours = $24 per direct-labor hour2. (a) $585,000 ÷ 15,000 hours = $39 per direct-labor hour(b) $495,000 ÷ 30,000 hours = $16.50 per direct-labor hour3. (a) $585,000 ÷ 97,500 hours = $6 per machine hour(b) $495,000 ÷ 30,000 hours = $16.50 per direct-labor hour4.

Departmental rates that use direct-labor hours asthe base decrease the cost applied to units of A and C and leave B unaffected. Other products that use relatively less assembly time will increase in cost. Now examine changing to a base of machine hours in machining (part c vs. part a). Product B is the only one with an increase in cost in (c) compared to (a). Why? Because B's uses only 16% of the direct labor hours used for A, B, and C, so it is is allocated only 16% of the costs allocated on the basis ofdirect labor hours. But it uses 40% of the machine hours, andthere is allocated 40% of costs that are allocated on the basis on machine hours. Therefore, it receives relatively more costs with a base of machine hours than with a base of direct-labor hours.TABLE 4-B1STATEMENT OF OPERATING INCOME OPERATING INCOME BY PRODUCT LINEThousands of Dollars Lawn HandScooter Mower Tool Cost Type,Parts Parts Parts Assignment Method Sales $990 $350 $380 $260Cost of goods sold:Direct material 400 175 125 100 Direct, Direct Trace Indirect manufacturing 94 68 1 14 12 Indirect – Mach.Hrs494 243 139 112Gross profit 496 107 241 148Selling and administrative expenses:Commissions 55 25 20 10 Direct, Direct Trace Distribution to warehouses 150 20 2 80 50 Indirect - Weight Total selling and administrative expenses 205 45 100 60Contribution to corporate expenses and profit 291 $ 62 $141 $ 88Unallocated expenses:Corporate salaries 11Other general expenses 17Total unallocated expenses 28Operating income before tax $2631 Total machine hours is 8,500 + 1,750 + 1,500 = 11,750.

The allocation to scooter parts is $8 × 8,500 machine hours = $68,000.2 Total weight shipped is 100,000 kg + 400,000 kg + 250,000 kg = 750,000 kg. Indirect distribution costs perkilogram is then $150,000 ÷ 750,000 kg = $0.20. The allocation to scooter parts is $0.20 × 100,000 kg = $20,000.技术资料专业整理4-B3 (30-35 min.)1.The existing system allocates all costs based on direct labor cost. The rate for allocating indirect production costs is:Estimated indirect production cost ÷ Estimated direct labor cost= ¥24,500,000 ÷ ¥35,000,000 = 70%That is, each time ¥1 is spent on direct labor, Watanabe adds ¥0.7 of indirect production cost to the cost of the product.2. Under an ABC system, Watanabe would allocate indirect production costs separately for each activity. This would result in the following four allocation rates:Receiving: Receiving co sts ÷ Direct material cost=¥4,800,000 ÷ 60,000,000 = ¥0.08 per ¥1of dir. mat. Assembly: Assembly costs ÷ Number of control units=¥13,800,000 ÷ 92,000 = ¥150 per control unitQual. Control: Quality control cost ÷ QC hours=¥1,800,000 ÷ 600 = ¥3,000 per QC hourShipping: Shipping cost ÷ # of boxes shipped=¥4,100,000 ÷ 8,200 = ¥500 per box shipped3. (a) The cost will contain 3 components (in thousands of yen):Direct material ¥ 8,000Direct labor 2,000Indirect production cost (¥2,000 × .7 = 1,400) 1,400Total cost ¥11,400Price (¥11,400 × 1.3)¥14,820(b) The cost will have 7 components, 4 of them allocating indirect production costs (totals in thousands of yen):Direct materials ¥ 8,000Direct labor 2,000Receiving (¥0.08 × 8,000)¥640Assembly (¥150 × 5,000)750Quality control (¥3,000 × 50)150Shipping (¥500 × 600) 300Total indirect production cost 1,840Total cost ¥11,840 Price (11 ,840 × 1.3)¥15,3924. The order from Nissan requires a relatively large amount of receiving, quality control, and shipping resources compared to the relative amount of labor required. This makes its indirect production costs are relatively expensive relative to the labor required. The following illustrates why an allocation on the basis of labor cost results in less costs than allocations based on the four activities:Budgeted Cost- Nissan Cost- NissanActivity Allocation Base Allocation Base Percentage Direct materials 60,000,000 8,000,000 13.3%Direct labor 35,000,000 2,000,000 5.7 Receiving 60,000,000 8,000,000 13.3 Assembly 92,000 5,000 5.4 Quality control 600 50 8.3 Shipping 8,200 600 7.3Using the single direct-labor cost-allocation base, this order would receive 5.7% of all indirect production costs. The main reason that indirect production costs for this order under the ABC system are relatively high is the large relative cost of materials that drives a large allocation (13.3%) of receiving costs to this order. The allocations of both quality control and shipping costs are slightly larger that they would be using a direct-labor cost-allocation base, while the allocation of assembly costs is slightly smaller.4-B4 (50-60 min.)1. A summary of the analyses follows.Pen Cell-PhoneCasings Casings CompanyBase Gross Profit Percentage* 1.25% 38.75% 8.07% Plan Gross Profit Percentage** 10.80% 37.20% 17.40% Support of Product Manager?

Notice that the $80,000 annual decrease in the cost of engineers needs to be converted to a $20,000 quarterly savings. The controller’s idea will result in an increase of 9.55%in the gross profit of the pen-casings line but a decrease of 1.55% in thecell-phone line. The product manager of pen casings would probably give strong support to the idea but the cell-phone casings manager would most likely not support the idea.Although the company-level gross profit margin improves, the president’s support may not be strong. Why? There is not a strong consensus among product-line managers. Top management is normally hesitant to support actions that do not have the unanimous support among product-line managers unless there is solid evidence of material improvement in profitability. While the current loss would be reversed, the return on sales is still nominal at 3,500 ÷ $480,000 = .73%.Exhibit 4-B4: Panel AProcess Map of Traditional Cost System[Direct Labor Hours = 4,500 +Exhibit 4-B4: Panel BPRO-FORMA FINANCIAL REPORTS:TRADITIONAL COST ALLOCATION SYSTEMSTATEMENT OF OPERTING INCOME CONTRIBUTION TO CORPORATE COSTSAND PROFIT [EXTERNAL REPORTING PURPOSE] [INTERNAL STRATEGIC DECISION MAKINGAND OPERATIONAL-CONTROL PURPOSE]Pen Casings Cell Phone CasingsSales $480,000 $360,000 $120,000 1 Cost of goods sold:Direct material 46,500 22,500 24,000 2 Direct labor 150,000 135,000 15,000Indirect manufacturing 200,000 163,636 3 36,364 4 Cost of goods sold 396,500 321,136 75,364 Gross profit 83,500 $ 38,864 $ 44,636 Corporate expenses (unallocated) 80,000Operating income $ 3,500Gross profit margin 17.40% 10.80% 37.20%1. $80,000 × .75 × 22. $12,000 × 23. $200,000 × [4,500/(4,500 + 1,000)]4. $200,000 × [1,000/(4,500 + 1,000)]5. $83,500/$480,000技术资料专业整理Perhaps the most important factor bearing on the president’s support is lack of confidence in the accuracy of the cost and hence gross margin figures. She probably will inquire whether the shift in the consumption percentages by the two activities is captured by the traditional costing system. Does the change in allocation rates from 90:10 to 82:18 based on direct labor hour changes accurately capture the impact of the operational changes? An informal analysis of the controller’s idea might look like the following table.Based on the informal analysis, the President probably would expect the profitability of cell-phone casings to improve and the profitability of pen casings to be unaffected. This disagrees with the numerical analysis. Given the propensity of managers to embrace numerical results, less weight will likely be given this analysis compared to the “objective” numbers. As a result, she may question the validity of the numerical analysis as well as the value of the traditional costing system!Finally, the focus of improvement efforts should be directly on the pen-casing product line. This initiative deals mostly with the cell-phone line. What can be done to improve profitability of the pen casings? Can prices be raised without losing too much volume? Can operational improvements be made to lower the indirect manufacturing costs? The controller’s idea is worthy of some support but it does not address the profitability issue head on.2. Exhibit 4-B4, Panel C on the following page is a process map that can be used to explain the impact of the controller’s idea. Panel D at the end of the solution provides a detailed evaluation of the controller’s idea.Pen Cell-PhoneCasings Casings Company Base Gross Profit Percentage* 16.22% (28.63%) 8.07% Plan Gross Profit Percentage** 17.26% 17.81% 17.40% Support of Product Manager?

The product manager of pen casings would probably be neutral or slightly positive about the idea because the idea does not focus on operational improvements that directly affect the pen-casings line. The cell-phone casings manager would give strong support to the idea – this may save his/her job! The president would strongly support this idea while encouraging all managers involved to keep up the good work. Also, note that the numbers agree with the informal analysis – generating confidence in the integrity of the cost accounting system.Exhibit 4-B4, Panel CProcess Map for ABC SystemExhibit 4-B4: Panel DPRO-FORMA FINANCIAL REPORTS FOR LOPEZ PLASTICS COMPANY:ACTIVITY-BASED COST ALLOCATION SYSTEMSTATEMENT OF OPERTING INCOME CONTRIBUTION TO CORPORATE COSTSAND PROFIT [EXTERNAL REPORTING PURPOSE] [INTERNAL STRATEGIC DECISION MAKINGAND OPERATIONAL-CONTROL PURPOSE]Pen Casings Cell Phone Casings Sales $480,000 $360,000 $120,000 Cost of goods sold:Direct material 46,500 22,500 24,000 Direct labor 150,000 135,000 15,000Processing activity 154,000 126,000 128,000 2Production support activity 46,000 14,375 3 31,625 4 Cost of goods sold 396,500 297,875 98,625 Gross profit 83,500 $ 62,125 $ 21,375 Corporate expenses (unallocated) 80,000Operating loss $ 3,500Gross profit margin 17.26% 17.81%1. $154,000 × [4,500 labor hours/(4,500 labor hours + 1,000 labor hours)]2. $154,000 × [1,000 labor hours/(4,500 labor hours + 1,000 labor hours)]3. $46,000 × [5 distinct parts/(5 distinct parts + 11 distinct parts)]4. $46,000 × [11 distinct parts/(5 distinct parts + 11 distinct parts)]技术资料专业整理3. As vice president, you probably are pleased with the new ABC system. The cost drivers that are used to allocate activity costs appear to be plausible and reliable and thus probably represent a sound cause-effect model of operations. This will improve both the accuracy of product costing and operating managers’ control over costs. Operating managers will be pleased with the ABC system because it helps them understand how their day-to-day work impacts costs and profits. From a behavioral perspective, this should behighly motivational.This problem emphasizes the importance of the cost-accounting system to managers. Different systems can result in significantly different management decisions. In this case, the product-line managers’ support for the controller’s idea changes when an ABC system is used to evaluate the idea. Although the company-level gross margins do not change, it is possible thatthe president would strongly support the idea based on ABC data. Why? Neither of the product-line managers is against the idea, and one strongly supports it. In addition, the president may have more confidence in the accuracy of the ABC analysis. The substantial losses of the current quarter have been completely eliminated and the serious profitability problem of the cell-phone casing product line has been reversed.4-1 A cost management system is a collection of tools and techniques that identifies how management’s decisions affect costs. The three purposesof a CMS are to provide1.cost information for operational control,2.cost information for strategic decisions, and3.measures of inventory value and cost of goods manufactured (orpurchased) for external reporting to investors, creditors, and otherexternal stakeholders.4-2 a. The production manager needs operational control information.b. Setting the product mix is a strategic decision.c. The cost of inventory that appears on the balance sheet is information that is used by external investors, creditors, and other stakeholders.4-3 Cost objects are any items for which decision makers desire a separate measurement of costs. They include departments, products, services, territories, and customers.4-4 No. Products are one of the main cost objects for most companies, but departments are also important cost objects because they represent a logical grouping of activities for which managers desire a separate determination of costs.4-5 The major purpose of a detailed cost-accounting system is to measure costs for decision making and financial reporting. Cost accounting systems become more detailed as management seeks more accurate data for decision making.4-6 The two major processes performed by a cost accounting system are cost accumulation and cost assignment. Cost accumulation is collecting costs by some “natural” classification, such as materials or labor, or by activities performed such as order processing or machine processing. Cost assignment is attaching costs to one or more cost objects, such as activities, processes, departments, customers, or products.4-7 Managers make important decisions on a daily basis. They base these decisions in large part on financial data provided by the cost accounting system. So it is critically important that the cost accounting system provide accurate and reliable financial information.4-8 Managers can specifically and exclusively identify direct costs with a given cost object (that is, directly trace them) in an economically feasible way. Indirect costs cannot be so identified. However, managers can usually identify a plausible and reliable cost driver to use to allocate resourcecosts to cost objects that consume the resources. When direct tracing is not economically feasible and a plausible and reliable cost driver cannot be found, costs should remain unallocated.4-9 Yes, the same cost (for example, the department supervisor's salary)can be direct with respect to a department but indirect with respect to the variety of products flowing through a department (e.g., tables, chairs, and cabinets).4-10 Some costs can be physically linked with a department (or a product), but not in an economically feasible way. An example is the use of departmental meters for measuring power usage. Such devices could measure power costs as direct costs of a department. The alternative is to regard factory power costs as indirect costs of individual departments. Managers often decide whether the resulting increased accuracy provided by individual power meters is worth their additional cost; thus, the test of economic feasibility will decide whether a particular cost is regarded as direct or indirect.4-11 The four purposes of cost allocation are (1) to predict the economic effects of strategic and operational control decisions, (2) to obtain desired motivation, (3) to compute income and asset valuations, and (4) to justify costs or obtain reimbursement.4-12 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require publically-held companies to allocate all production-related costs and only production-related costs to its products for financial reporting to the public.4-13 No. The costs in a cost pool are not physically traced to cost objects. Only direct costs are traced to cost objects. A cost pool contains indirect costs that are allocated to cost objects using a single cost-allocation base.4-14 Some possible terms are reallocate, assign, distribute, redistribute, load, apportion, reapportion, and burden.4-15 For financial statement purposes, the typical accounting system does not allocate costs associated with value-chain functions other than production to the physical units produced. However, for guiding decisions regarding product-pricing and product-mix decisions, many companies allocate all costs, including R&D, design, marketing, distribution, and customer service costs. However, the allocations of these costs may not be embedded in the system that generates financial statements.4-16 Yes. The two criteria that should be met before using any measure as a cost-allocation base are economic plausibility and reliability. A measure should be plausible – make common sense. If managers cannot easily understand the logical relationship between a cost allocation-base and the costs of an activity or resource, managers will perceive the resulting allocations as arbitrary.4-17 Production maintenance costs are normally indirect. Sales commissions normally can be directly traced to specific products. The costs associated with process design are normally unallocated because it is too difficult to identify plausible and reliable cost-allocation bases, although some companies elect to allocate them.4-18 Generally not. They are direct as far as the physical product is concerned, but in accounting for their cost it would usually be impractical (too costly) to keep records of the amount of glue or tacks used in each unit of product. A more feasible method would be to consider these as supplies (indirect materials).4-19 Depreciation related to production activities is a product cost, not a period cost. Hence, it will become an expense as a part of manufacturing cost of goods sold. Thus, depreciation is not always an immediate expense.。

Part #72A Part #172CSteel* $ 12.00 $ 18.00Setup cost** 6.00 6.00Total $ 18.00 $ 24.00*($1.00 ? 12; $1.00 ? 18)**($60,000/10,000)Steel cost is assigned by calculating a cost per ounce and then multiplying this by the ounces used by each part:Cost per ounce= $3,000,000/3,000,000 ounces= $1.00 per ounceSetup cost is assigned by calculating the cost per setup and then dividing this by the number of units in each batch (there are 20 setups per year):Cost per setup = $1,200,000/20= $60,0002. The cost of steel is assigned through the driver tracing using the number of ounces of steel, and the cost of the setups is assigned through driver tracing also using number of setups as the driver.3. The assumption underlying number of setups as the driver is that each part uses an equal amount of setup time. Since Part #72A uses double the setup time of Part #172C, it makes sense to assign setup costs based on setup time instead of number of setups. This illustrates the importance of identifying drivers that reflect the true underlying consumption pattern. Using setup hours [(40 ?10) + (20 ? 10)], we get the following rate per hour:Cost per setup hour = $1,200,000/600= $2,000 per hourThe cost per unit is obtained by dividing each part’s total setup costs by the number of units:Part #72A = ($2,000 ? 400)/100,000 = $8.00Part #172C = ($2,000 ? 200)/100,000 = $4.00Thus, Part #72A has its unit cost increased by $2.00, while Part #172C has its unit cost decreased by $2.00.problems2–51. Nursing hours required per year: 4 ? 24 hours ? 364 days* = 34,944*Note: 364 days = 7 days ? 52 weeksNumber of nurses = 34,944 hrs./2,000 hrs. per nurse = 17.472Annual nursing cost = (17 ? $45,000) + $22,500= $787,500Cost per patient day = $787,500/10,000 days= $78.75 per day (for either type of patient)2. Nursing hours act as the driver. If intensive care uses half of the hours and normal care the other half, then 50 percent of the cost is assigned to each patient category. Thus, the cost per patient day by patient category is as follows:Intensive care = $393,750*/2,000 days= $196.88 per dayNormal care = $393,750/8,000 days= $49.22 per day*$525,000/2 = $262,500The cost assignment reflects the actual usage of the nursing resource and, thus, should be more accurate. Patient days would be accurate only if intensive care patients used the same nursing hours per day as normal care patients.3. The salary of the nurse assigned only to intensive care is a directly traceable cost. To assign the other nursing costs, the hours of additional usage would need to be measured. Thus, both direct tracing and driver tracing would be used to assign nursing costs for this new setting.2–61. Bella Obra CompanyStatement of Cost of Services SoldFor the Year Ended June 30, 2006Direct materials:Beginning inventory $ 300,000Add: Purchases 600,000Materials available $ 900,000Less: Ending inventory 450,000*Direct materials used $ 450,000Direct labor 12,000,000Overhead 1,500,000Total service costs added $ 13,950,000Add: Beginning work in process 900,000Total production costs $ 14,850,000Less: Ending work in process 1,500,000Cost of services sold $ 13,350,000*Materials available less materials used2. The dominant cost is direct labor (presumably the salaries of the 100 professionals). Although labor is the major cost of providing many services, it is not always the case. For example, the dominant cost for some medical services may be overhead (e.g., CAT scans). In some services, the dominant cost may be materials (e.g., funeral services).3. Bella Obra CompanyIncome StatementFor the Year Ended June 30, 2006Sales $ 21,000,000Cost of services sold 13,350,000Gross margin $ 7,650,000Less operating expenses:Selling expenses $ 900,000Administrative expenses 750,000 1,650,000Income before income taxes $ 6,000,0004. Services have four attributes that are not possessed by tangible products: (1) intangibility, (2) perishability, (3) inseparability, and (4) heterogeneity. Intangibility means that the buyers of services cannot see, feel, hear, or taste a service before it is bought. Perishability means that services cannot be stored. This property affects the computation in Requirement 1. Inability to store services means that there will never be any finished goods inventories, thus making the cost of services produced equivalent to cost of services sold. Inseparability simply means that providers and buyers of services must be in direct contact for an exchange to take place. Heterogeneity refers to the greater chance for variation in the performance of services than in the production of tangible products.2–71.

The other overhead costs are traced according to their usage. Depreciation and power are assigned by using machine hours (250 for magazines and 100 for brochures): $350/350 = $1.00 per machine hour for power and $40,000/20,000 = $2.00 per machine hour for depreciation. Setups are assigned according to the time required. Since magazines use twice as much time, they receive twice the cost: Letting X = the pro?portion of setup time used for brochures, 2X + X = 1 implies a cost assignment ratio of 2/3 for magazines and 1/3 for brochures.Exercises3–11.

Since direct materials and direct labor are directly traceable to each product, their cost assignment should be accurate.2. Elegant: (1.75 ? $9,000)/3,000 = $5.25 per briefcaseFina: (1.75 ? $3,000)/3,000 = $1.75 per briefcaseNote: Overhead rate = $21,000/$12,000 = $1.75 per direct labor dollar (or 175 percent of direct labor cost).There are more machine and setup costs assigned to Elegant than Fina. This is clearly a distortion because the production of Fina is automated and uses the machine resources much more than the handcrafted Elegant. In fact, the consumption ratio for machining is 0.10 and 0.90 (using machine hours as the measure of usage). Thus, Fina uses nine times the machining resources as Elegant. Setup costs are similarly distorted. The products use an equal number of setups hours. Yet, if direct labor dollars are used, then the Elegant briefcase receives three times more machining costs than the Fina briefcase.3. Overhead rate = $21,000/5,000= $4.20 per MHrElegant: ($4.20 ? 500)/3,000 = $0.70 per briefcaseFina: ($4.20 ? 4,500)/3,000 = $6.30 per briefcaseThis cost assignment appears more reasonable given the relative demands each product places on machine resources. However, once a firm moves to a multiproduct setting, using only one activity driver to assign costs will likely produce product cost distortions. Products tend to make different demands on overhead activities, and this should be reflected in overhead cost assignments. Usually, this means the use of both unit- and nonunit-level activity drivers. In this example, there is a unit-level activity (machining) and a nonunit-level activity (setting up equipment). The consumption ratios for each (using machine hours and setup hours as the activity drivers) are as follows:Elegant FinaMachining 0.10 0.90 (500/5,000 and 4,500/5,000)Setups 0.50 0.50 (100/200 and 100/200)Setup costs are not assigned accurately.

Using activity assign?ments, this drops to $340,000/20 = $17,000 per order, a difference of $20,500 per order. For an order of 5,000 units, the order price can be decreased by $4.10 per unit without affecting customer profitability. Overall profitability will decrease, however, unless the price for orders is increased to JIT customers.3. It sounds like the JIT buyers are switching their inventory carrying costs to Emery without any significant benefit to Emery. Emery needs to increase prices to reflect the additional demands on customer-support activities. Furthermore, additional price increases may be needed to reflectthe increased number of setups, purchases, and so on, that are likely occurring inside the plant. Emery should also immediately initiate discussions with its JIT customers to begin negotiations for achieving some of the benefits that a JIT supplier should have, such as long-term contracts. The benefits of long-term contracting may offset most or all of the increased costs from the additional demands made on other activities.4–71. Supplier cost:First, calculate the activity rates for assigning costs to suppliers:Inspecting components: $240,000/2,000 = $120 per sampling hourReworking products: $760,500/1,500 = $507 per rework hourWarranty work: $4,800/8,000 = $600 per warranty hourNext, calculate the cost per component by supplier:Supplier cost:Vance FoyPurchase cost:$23.50 ? 400,000 $ 9,400,000$21.50 ? 1,600,000 $ 34,400,000Inspecting components:$120 ? 40 4,800$120 ? 1,960 235,200Reworking products:$507 ? 90 45,630$507 ? 1,410 714,870Warranty work:$600 ? 400 240,000$600 ? 7,600 4,560,000Total supplier cost $ 9,690,430 $ 39,910,070Units supplied ÷400,000 ÷1,600,000Unit cost $ 24.23* $ 24.94**RoundedThe difference is in favor of Vance; however, when the price concession is considered, the cost of Vance is $23.23, which is less than Foy’s component. Lumus should accept the contractual offer made by Vance.4–7 Concluded2. Warranty hours would act as the best driver of the three choices. Using this driver, the rate is $1,000,000/8,000 = $125 per warranty hour. The cost assigned to each component would be:Vance FoyLost sales:$125 ? 400 $ 50,000$125 ? 7,600 $ 950,000$ 50,000 $ 950,000Units supplied ÷400,000 ÷1,600,000Increase in unit cost $ 0.13* $ 0.59**Rounded$0.075 per unitCategory II: $45/1,000 = $0.045 per unitCategory III: $45/1,500 = $0.03 per unitCategory I, which has the smallest batches, is the most undercosted of the three categories. Furthermore, the unit ordering cost is quite high relative to Category I’s selling price (9 to 15 percent of the selling price). This suggests that something should be done to reduce the order-filling costs.3. With the pricing incentive feature, the average order size has been increased to 2,000 units for all three product families. The number of orders now processed can be calculated as follows:Orders = [(600 ? 50,000) + (1,000 ? 30,000) + (1,500 ? 20,000)]/2,000= 45,000Reduction in orders = 100,000 – 45,000 = 55,000Steps that can be reduced = 55,000/2,000 = 27 (rounding down to nearest whole number)There were initially 50 steps: 100,000/2,000Reduction in resource spending:Step-fixed costs: $50,000 ? 27 = $1,350,000Variable activity costs: $20 ? 55,000 = 1,100,000$2,450,000预算9-4Norton, Inc.Sales Budget For the Coming YearModel Units Price Total SalesLB-1 50,400 $29.00 $1,461,600LB-2 19,800 15.00 297,000WE-6 25,200 10.40 262,080 WE-7 17,820 10.00 178,200 WE-8 9,600 22.00 211,200 WE-9 4,000 26.00 104,000 Total $2,514,080二、1.

CHAPTER 3 COVERAGE OF LEARNING OBJECTIVESCHAPTER 3Measurement of Cost Behavior3-A1 (20-25 min.) Some of these answers are controversial, and reasonable cases can be built for alternative classifications. Class discussion of these answers should lead to worthwhile disagreements about anticipated cost behavior with regard to alternative cost drivers.1. (b) Discretionary fixed cost.2. (e) Step cost.3. (a) Purely variable cost with respect to revenue.4. (a) Purely variable cost with respect to miles flown.5. (d) Mixed cost with respect to miles driven.6. (c) Committed fixed cost.7. (b) Discretionary fixed cost.8. (c) Committed fixed cost.9. (a) Purely variable cost with respect to cases of 7-Up.10. (b) Discretionary fixed cost.11. (b) Discretionary fixed cost.3-A2 (25-30 min.)1. Support costs based on 60% of the cost of materials:Sign A SignBDirect materials cost $400 $200Support cost (60% of materials cost) $240 $120Support costs based on $50 per power tool operation:Sign A SignBPower tool operations 3 6Support cost $150 $3002. If the activity analysis is reliable, by using the current method,Evergreen Signs is predicting too much cost for signs that use fewpower tool operations and is predicting too little cost for signs thatuse many power tool operations. As a result the company could belosing jobs that require few power tool operations because its bids are too high -- it could afford to bid less on these jobs. Conversely, thecompany could be getting too many jobs that require many powertool operations, because its bids are too low -- given what the "true"costs will be, the company cannot afford these jobs at those prices.Either way, the sign business could be more profitable if the ownerbetter understood and used activity analysis. Evergreen Signs wouldbe advised to adopt the activity-analysis recommendation, but also toclosely monitor costs to see if the activity-analysis predictions ofsupport costs are accurate.3-A3 (25-30 min.)1. High-Low Method:Support Cost Machine HoursHigh month = September $13,500 1,750Low month = May 9,000 850Difference $ 4,500 900Variable cost per machine hour = Change in cost ÷ Change in costdriver= $4,500 ÷ 900 = $5.00Fixed support cost per month = Total support cost - Variable supportcostAt the high point: = $13,500 - $5.00 × 1,750= $13,500 - $8,750= $ 4,750or at the low point: = $ 9,000 - $5.00 × 850= $ 9,000 - $4,250= $ 4,7502. The high-low method uses the high and low activity levels todetermine the cost function. Since the new October data for machinehours does not change either the high or low level there would be no change in the analysis.3. The regression analysis results differ from the results of the high-lowmethod. As a result, estimates of total support cost may differconsiderably depending on the expected machine hour usage. Forexample, consider the following support cost estimates at three levelsof machine hour usage (all within the relevant range):Machine Hour Usage950 Hours 1,200 Hours 1,450 HoursHigh-Low:Fixed $4,750 $ 4,750 $ 4,750 Variable: $5.00 × 950 4,750$5.00 × 1,200 6,000$5.00 × 1,450 7,250 Total $9,500 $10,750 $12,000Regression:Fixed $3,355 $ 3,355 $ 3,355 Variable: $6.10 × 950 5,795$6.10 × 1,200 7,320$6.10 × 1,450 8,845 Total $9,150 $ 10,675 $12,200Because the high-low method has a lower variable cost estimate, theregression-based predictions exceed the high-low-based predictions at higher levels of machine usage, while the high-low estimates aregreater at lower levels of usage. The high-low method used only twodata points, so the results may not be reliable. Fernandez would beadvised to use the regression results, which are based on all relevantdata.3-B1 (20-25 min.)The following classifications are open to debate. With appropriate assumptions, other answers could be equally supportable. For example, in #2, the health insurance would be a committed fixed cost if the number of employees will not change. This problem provides an opportunity to discuss various aspects of cost behavior. Students should make an assumption regarding the time period involved. For example, if the time period is short, say one month, more costs tend to be fixed. Over longer periods, more costs are variable. They also must assume something about the nature of the cost. For example, consider #4. Repairs and maintenance are often thought of as a single cost. However, repairs are more likely to vary with the amount of usage, making them variable, while maintenance is often on a fixed schedule regardless of activity, making them fixed.Another important point to make is the cost/benefit criterion applied to determining “true” cost behavior. A manager may accept a cost driver that is plausible but may have less reliability than an alternative due to the cost associated with maintaining data for the more reliable cost driver.Cost Cost Behavior Likely Cost Driver(s)1. X-ray operating cost Mixed Number of x-rays2. Insurance Step (or variable) Number of employees3. Cancer research Discretionary fixed4. Repairs Variable Number of patients5. Training cost Discretionary fixed6. Depreciation Committed fixed7. Consulting Discretionary fixed8. Nursing supervisors Step Number of nurses,patient-days3-B2 (25-30 min.) Board Z15 Board Q52 Mark-up method:Material cost $40 $60Support costs (100%) $40 $60Activity analysis method:Manual operations 15 7Support costs (@$4) $60 $28The support costs are different because different cost behavior is assumed by the two methods. If the activity analyses are reliable, then boards with few manual operations are overcosted with the markup method, and boards with many manual operations are undercosted with the markup method.3-B3 (25-30 min.)Variable cost per machine hour = Change in Repair Cost ÷ Change in Machine Hours= (P260,000,000 –P200,000,000) ÷ (12,000 –8,000)= P15,000 per machine hourFixed cost per month = total cost - variable cost= P260,000,000 - P15,000 × 12,000= P260,000,000 - P180,000,000= P 80,000,000 per monthor = P200,000,000 - P15,000 × 8,000= P200,000,000 - P120,000,000= P 80,000,000 per month3-1 A cost driver is any output measure that is believed to cause costs to fluctuate in a predictable manner. For example, direct labor costs areprobably driven by direct labor hours; materials costs are probablydriven by levels of product output; and support costs may be driven bya variety of drivers, such as output levels, product complexity, numberof different products and/or parts, and so on.3-2 Linear cost behavior assumes that costs behave as a straight line. This line is anchored by an intercept, or fixed cost estimate, and total costs increase proportionately as cost driver activity increases. The slope ofthe line is the estimate of variable cost per unit of cost driver activity.3-3 Whether to categorize a step cost either as a fixed cost or as a variable cost depends on the "size" of the steps (height and width) and on thedesired accuracy of the description of step cost behavior. If the stepsare wide, covering a wide range of cost driver activity, then within each range the cost may be regarded as fixed. If the steps are narrow andnot too high, with small changes in cost, then the cost may beregarded as variable over a wide range of activity level, with little error.If the steps are narrow and high, covering big changes in cost, then the cost probably should not be regarded as variable, since small changesin activity level can result in large changes in cost.3-4 Mixed costs are costs that contain both fixed and variable elements. A mixed cost has a fixed portion that is usually a cost per time period.This is the minimum mixed cost per period. A mixed cost also has avariable portion that is a cost per unit of cost driver activity. Thevariable portion of a mixed cost increases proportionately withincreases in the cost driver.3-5 In order to achieve the goals set for the organization, management makes critical choices -- choices that guide the future activities of theorganization. These choices include decisions about locations, products, services, organization structure, and so on. Choices about product orservice attributes (mix, quality, features, performance, etc.), capacity(committed and discretionary fixed costs), technology (capital/laborconsiderations, alternative technologies), and incentives (standard-based performance evaluation) can greatly affect cost behavior.3-6 Some fixed costs are called capacity costs because the levels of these fixed costs are determined by management's strategic decisions aboutthe organization's expected levels of activities, or capacity.3-7 Committed fixed costs are costs that are often driven by the planned scale of operations. These costs typically cannot be changed easily orquickly without drastically changing the operations of the organization.Typical committed fixed costs include lease or mortgage payments,property taxes, and long-term management compensation.Discretionary fixed costs are costs that may be necessary to achievecertain operational goals, but there are no contractual obligations tocontinue these payments. Typical discretionary fixed costs includeadvertising, research and development, and employee trainingprograms. The distinction between committed and discretionary fixedcosts is that discretionary fixed costs are flexible and could beincreased, decreased, or eliminated entirely on short notice if necessary, but committed fixed costs usually must be incurred for some time --greater effort is needed to change or eliminate them.3-8 Committed fixed costs are the most difficult to change because long-term commitments generally have been made. These long-termcommitments may involve legal contracts that would be costly torenegotiate or dissolve. Committed fixed costs also are difficult tochange because doing so may mean greatly changing the way theorganization conducts its activities. Changing these committed fixedcosts may also mean changing organization structure, location,employment levels, and products or services.3-9 An organization’s capacity generally determines its committed fixed costs. Management’s choice is the main influence on discretionaryfixed costs. Both committed and discretionary fixed costs depend onthe organization's strategy relating to capacity, product attributes, andtechnology. These elements will determine long-term costcommitments (committed costs) and flexible spending responses tochanges in the environment (discretionary costs).3-10 Both planning for and controlling discretionary costs are important. It is hard to say that one is more important than the other, but certainlyeffective use of discretionary costs requires prior planning. One would not know, however, if these costs had been effective in meeting goalsunless the organization has a reliable and timely control system -- ameans of checking accomplishments against goals.3-11 High technology production systems often mean higher fixed costs and lower variable costs.3-12 Incentives to control costs are means of making cost control in the best interests of the people responsible for making cost expenditures. Asimple example will illustrate the use of incentives to control costs.Assume that you are an executive who travels for business, purchasesprofessional literature, and keeps current with personal computertechnology. Under one incentive system, you simply bill theorganization for all your travel and professional expenses. Underanother system, you are given an annual budget for travel andprofessional needs. Which system do you think would cause you to be more careful about how you spend money for travel and professionalneeds? Most likely, the latter system would be more effective incontrolling costs. Usually these incentives are economic, but other non-financial incentives may also be effective.3-13 Use of cost functions, or algebraic representations of cost behavior, allows cost analysts or management to build models of theorganization's cost behavior. These models can be used to aidplanning and control activities. One common use of cost functions isin financial planning models, which are algebraic models of the costand revenue behavior of the firm, essentially extended C-V-P modelssimilar to those discussed in Chapter 2. Understanding relationshipsbetween costs and cost drivers allows managers to make betterdecisions.3-14 A "plausible" cost function is one that is intuitively sound. A cost function is plausible if a knowledgeable analyst can make soundeconomic justifications why a particular cost driver could cause the cost in question. A "reliable" cost function is one that accurately andconsistently describes actual cost behavior, past and future. Bothplausibility and reliability are essential to useful cost functions. It isdifficult to say that one is more important than the other, but onewould not have much confidence in the future use of a cost functionthat is not plausible, even if past reliability (e.g., based on statisticalmeasures) has been high. Likewise, one would not be confident usinga cost function that is highly plausible, but that has not been shown tobe reliable. The cost analyst should strive for plausible and reliablecost functions.3-15 Activity analysis identifies underlying causes of cost behavior (appropriate cost drivers) and measures the relationships of costs totheir cost drivers. A variety of methods may be used to measure costfunctions, including engineering analysis and account analysis.3-16 Engineering analysis is a method of identifying and measuring cost and cost driver relationships that does not require the use of historical data.Engineering analysis proceeds by the use of interviews, experimentation, and observation of current cost generating activities. Engineeringanalysis will be more reliable if the organization has had pastexperience with the activities.Account analysis is a method of identifying and measuring costs andcost driver relationships that depend explicitly on historical cost data.An analyst selects a single cost driver and classifies each cost accountas fixed or variable with respect to that cost driver. Account analysiswill be reliable if the analyst is skilled and if the data are relevant tofuture uses of the derived cost function.3-17 There are four general methods covered in this text to measure mixed costs using historical data: (1) account analysis, (2) high-low, (3) visualfit, and (4) regression.• Account analysis looks to the organization's cost accounts andclassifies each cost as either fixed, variable, or mixed with regard to anappropriate cost driver.• High-low analysis algebraically measures mixed cost behavior by con-structing a straight line between the cost at the highest activity leveland that at the lowest activity level.• Visual-fit analysis seeks to place a straight line among data points on a plot of each cost and its appropriate cost driver.• Regression analysis fits a straight line to cost and activity data according to statistical criteria.3-18 Engineering analysis and account analysis often are combined. One of the problems of account analysis is that historical data may containpast inefficiencies. Therefore, account analysis measures what costswere, not necessarily what they should be. Differences in future costsmay be desired and/or anticipated, and account analysis alone usuallywill not account for these differences. Engineering analysis may becombined with account analysis to revise account-based measures fordesired improvements in efficiency and/or planned changes in inputs or processes.3-19 The strengths of the high-low method are also its weaknesses -- the method is simple to apply since it does not require extensive data orstatistical sophistication. This simplicity also means that the methodmay not be reliable because it may not use all the relevant data thatare available, and choice of the two points to measure the linear costrelationship is subjective. The method itself also does not give anymeasures of reliability.The visual-fit method is an improvement over the high-low methodbecause it uses all the available (relevant) data. However, this method, too, may not be reliable since it relies on the analyst's judgment onwhere to place the line.3-20 The cost-driver level should be used to determine the two data points to be used to determine the cost function. Why? Because thehigh- and low-cost points are more likely to have measurement errors, an unusually high cost at the high-cost point and an unusually low cost at the low-cost point.3-21 Regression analysis is usually preferred to the high-low method (and the visual-fit method) because regression analysis uses all the relevantdata and because easy-to-use computer software does the analysis and provides useful measures of cost function reliability. The majordisadvantage of regression analysis is that it requires statisticalsophistication to use properly. Because the software is easy to use,many users of regression analysis may not be able to critically evaluate the output and may be misled to believe that they have developed areliable cost function when they have not.3-22 This is a deceptive statement, because it is true on the face of it, but regression also has many pitfalls for the unwary. Yes, regressionsoftware provides useful output that can be used to evaluate thereliability of the measured cost function. If one understands theassumptions of least-squares regression, this output can be used tocritically evaluate the measured function. However, the regressionsoftware cannot evaluate the relevance or accuracy of the data that are used. Even though regression analysis is statistically objective,irrelevant or inaccurate data used as input will lead to unreliable costfunctions, regardless of the strength of the statistical indicators ofreliability.3-23 Plotting data helps to identify outliers, that is, observations that are unusual and may indicate a situation that is not representative of theenvironment for which cost predictions are being made. It can alsoshow nonlinear cost behavior that can lead to transformations of thedata before applying linear regression methods.3-24 R2 is a goodness-of-fit statistic that describes the percentage of variation in cost explained by changes in the cost driver.3-25 Control of costs does require measurement of cost behavior, either what costs have been or what costs should be. Problems of work rules and the like may make changing cost behavior difficult. There aretradeoffs, of course, and the instructor should expect that studentscould get into an impassioned debate over where the balance lies --union job protection versus improved efficiency. This debate gets toone of the major roles of accounting in organizations, and it isimportant that students realize that accounting does matter greatly toindividuals, and, ultimately, to society.3-26 The fixed salary portion of the compensation is a fixed cost. It is independent of how much is sold. In contrast, the 5% commission is a variable cost. It varies directly with the amount of sales. Because thecompensation is part fixed cost and part variable cost, it is considered a mixed cost.3-27 Both depreciation and research and development costs are fixed costs because they are independent of the volume of operations.Depreciation is generally a committed fixed cost. Managers have littlediscretion over the amount of the cost. In contrast, research anddevelopment costs are discretionary fixed costs because their size isoften the result of management’s judgment.3-28 Decision makers should know a product’s cost function if their decisions affect the amount of product produced. To know the costimpact of their decisions, decision makers apply the cost function toeach possible volume of production. This is important in manydecisions, such as pricing decisions, promotion and advertisingdecisions, sales staff deployment decisions, and many more decisionsthat affect the volume of product that the company produces.3-29 Regression analysis is a statistical method of fitting a cost-function line to observed costs. It is objective; that is, each cost analyst would come up with the same regression line, whereas different analysts might have different cost functions when using a visual fit method. In addition,regression analysis provides measures of how well the cost-functionline fits the data, so that managers know how much reliance they canput on cost predictions that use the cost function.3-30 (5 min.) Only (b) is a step cost.(a) This is a fixed cost. The same cost applies to all volumes in therelevant range.(b) This is a true step cost. Each time 15 students are added, the costincreases by the amount of one teacher’s salary.(c) This is a variable cost that may be different per unit at differentlevels of volume. It is not a step cost. Why? Because each unit ofproduct requires a particular amount of steel, regardless of the form in which the steel is purchased.3-31 (5 min.) The $8,000 is a fixed cost and the $52 per unit is a variable cost. By definition, adding a fixed cost and a variable cost togetherproduces a mixed cost.3-32 (10-15 min.)1. Machining labor: G, number of units completed or labor hours2. Raw material: B, units produced; could also be D if the company’spurchases do not affect the price of the raw material.3. Annual wage: C or E (depending on work levels), labor hours4. Water bill: H, gallons used5. Quantity discounts: A, amount purchased6. Depreciation: E, capacity7. Sheet steel: D, number of implements of various types8. Salaries: F, number of solicitors9. Natural gas bill: C, energy usage3-33 (15 min.)The analysis is faulty because of the following errors.1. The scales used for both axes are incorrect. The space between equalintervals in number of orders and order-department costs should bethe same.2. The visual-fit line is too high, and the slope is too steep. It appears thatthe line has been purposely drawn to pass through the (100,450) datapoint and the $200 point on the y-axis to simplify the analysis. Avisual-fit line most often will not pass through any one data point.Choosing one point (any point) or a data point and the Y-interceptmakes this similar to the high-low method, ignoring much of theinformation contained in the rest of the data.3. The total cost for 90 orders is wrong. Either the fixed costs should beexpressed in thousands of dollars or the unit variable costs should be$2,000 per order. Even if the derived total cost function was accurate,the resulting cost prediction is incorrect. The formula should beexpressed as:Total cost (thousands of dollars) = $200 + $2.50 × Number of orders processed, orTotal cost = $200,000 + $2,500 × Number of orders processedThis would result in a predicted total cost for 90 orders of:Total cost (thousands of dollars) = $200 + $2.50 × 90 = $425, orTotal cost = $200,000 + $2,500 × 90 = $425,000.Correct AnalysisThe following graph has correctly constructed scales. The visual fit lineshown indicates that fixed costs are about $200,000 and variable cost isabout $2,250 per order – a lower slope than that shown in the text.The total cost function is:Total cost (thousands of dollars) = $200 + $2.25 × Number of orders, or Total cost = $200,000 + $2,250 × Number of ordersVariable cost (thousands of dollars) $180 ÷ 80 orders = $2.25The predicted total cost for 90 orders is:Total cost = $200,000 + $2,250 × 90 = $200,000 + $202,500 = $402,500.3-34 (15-20 min.) Amounts are in millions.1. 2001 2002Sales revenues $57 $116Less: Operating income (loss) (19) 18Operating expenses $76 $ 982. Change in operating expenses ÷ Change in revenues = Variable cost percentage($98 - $76) ÷ ($116 - $57) = $22 ÷ $59 = .37 or 37%Fixed cost = Total cost – Variable cost= $76 - .37 × $57= $55or= $98 - .37 × $116= $55Cost function = $55 + .37 × Sales revenue3. Because fixed costs to not change, the entire additional totalcontribution margin is added to operating income. The $57 salesrevenue in 2001 generated a total contribution margin of $57 × (1 - .37) = $36, which was $19 short of covering the $55 of fixed cost. But theadditional $59 of sales revenue in 2002 generated a total contributionmargin of $59 × (1 - .37) = $37 that could go directly to operatingincome because there was no increase in fixed costs. It wiped out the$19 operating loss and left $18 of operating income.3-35 (10-15 min.)1. Fuel costs: $.40 × 16,000 miles per month = $6,400 per month.2.

Purchasing: $7,500 + $5 × 4,000 = $27,500 for the month.3-36 (10-15 min.) There may be some disagreement about these classifications, but reasons for alternative classifications should be explored.Cost Discretionary Committed Advertising $22,000Depreciation $ 47,000 Company health insurance 21,000 Management salaries 85,000 Payment of long-term debt 50,000 Property tax 32,000 Grounds maintenance 9,000Office remodeling 21,000Research and development 46,000Totals $98,000 $235,0003-37 (15-20 min.)This problem extends the chapter analysis to preview short-run decision making and capital budgeting.

If order levels are expected to be below 50,000 orders, then Alternative 1 would have lower costs because fixed costs are lower. If orders are expected to be greater than 50,000, then Alternative 2 would have lower costs because variable costs are lower.3-38 (20-25 min.) A master of the scatter-diagrams with least-square regression lines and high-low lines appears in Exhibit 3-38 on the following page.This exercise enables a comparison of the high-low and visual-fit methods of decomposing mixed-costs into fixed and variable parts. Students find it interesting to compare their best guesses to the least-squares regression results. They find it interesting that a fairly complete and accurate analysis is possible based on a scatter-diagram and a little common sense. We normally have the class determine a “class best guess” before showing the transparency of the regression results.The exercise also introduces students to the concept of a hierarchy of activity levels, although this topic is not covered in the text. The literature contains discussions of four general levels of activities. Recognizing each of these levels can be an aid in choosing appropriate cost drivers. These levels and example cost drivers are:a. Unit-level activities -- performed each time a unit is produced (units ofproduct, machine hours, labor hours).b. Batch-level activities -- performed each time a batch of goods isprocessed or handled (number of orders processed, number of setups,number of material moves).c. Product-level activities -- performed as needed to support theproduction of each different type of product (number of tests, number of parts, number of engineering change notices, hours of design time,number of inspections).d. Facility-level activities -- sustain a facility’s general manufacturingprocess (square footage, number of employees, hours of training).In this exercise, a batch-level activity is involved -- setups.。

管理会计部分课后习题答案(英文版)第二章产品成本计算Exercises2–1(指教材上的第2章练习第1题,下同)1. Part #72A Part #172CSteel* $ 12.00 $ 18.00Setup cost** 6.00 6.00$ 18.00 $ 24.00*($1.00 ? 12; $1.00 ? 18)**($60,000/10,000)Steel cost is assigned by calculating a cost per ounce and then multiplying this by the ounces used by each part: Cost per ounce = $3,000,000/3,000,000 ounces= $1.00 per ounceSetup cost is assigned by calculating the cost per setup and then dividing this by the number of units in each batch (there are 20 setups per year):Cost per setup = $1,200,000/20= $60,0002. The cost of steel is assigned through the driver tracing using thenumber of ounces of steel, and the cost of the setups is assigned through driver tracing also using number of setups as the driver.3. The assumption underlying number of setups as the driver is thateach part uses an equal amount of setup time. Since Part #72A uses double the setup time of Part #172C, it makes sense to assign setup costs based on setup time instead of number ofsetups. This illustrates the importance of identifying drivers that reflect the true underlying consumption pattern. Using setup hours [(40 ? 10) + (20 ?10)], we get the following rate per hour:Cost per setup hour = $1,200,000/600= $2,000 per hourThe cost per unit is obtained by dividing each part’s total setup costs by the number of units:Part #72A = ($2,000 ? 400)/100,000 = $8.00Part #172C = ($2,000 ? 200)/100,000 = $4.00Thus, Part #72A has its unit cost increased by $2.00, while Part #172C has its unit cost decreased by $2.00.problems2–51. Nursing hours required per year: 4 ? 24 hours ? 364 days* = 34,944*Note: 364 days = 7 days ? 52 weeksNumber of nurses = 34,944 hrs./2,000 hrs. per nurse = 17.472 Annual nursing cost = (17 ? $45,000) + $22,500= $787,500Cost per patient day = $787,500/10,000 days= $78.75 per day (for either type of patient)2. Nursing hours act as the driver. If intensive care uses half of thehours and normal care the other half, then 50 percent of the cost is assigned to each patient category. Thus, the cost per patient day by patient category is as follows:Intensive care = $393,750*/2,000 days= $196.88 per dayNormal care = $393,750/8,000 days= $49.22 per day*$525,000/2 = $262,500The cost assignment reflects the actual usage of the nursing resource and, thus, should be more accurate. Patient days would be accurate only if intensive care patients used the same nursing hours per day as normal care patients.3. The salary of the nurse assigned only to intensive care is a directlytraceable cost. To assign the other nursing costs, the hours of additional usage would need to be measured. Thus, both direct tracing and driver tracing would be used to assign nursing costs for this new setting.2–61.

The dominant cost is direct labor (presumably the salaries of the 100professionals). Although labor is the major cost of providing manyservices, it is not always the case. For example, the dominant costfor some medical services may be overhead (e.g., CAT scans). Insome services, the dominant cost may be materials (e.g., funeralservices).3.

Services have four attributes that are not possessed by tangible products: (1) intangibility, (2) perishability, (3) inseparability, and (4)heterogeneity. Intangibility means that the buyers of services cannotsee, feel, hear, or taste a service before it is bought. Perishabilitymeans that services cannot be stored. This property affects thecomputation in Requirement 1. Inability to store services means thatthere will never be any finished goods inventories, thus making thecost of services produced equivalent to cost of services sold.Inseparability simply means that providers and buyers of servicesmust be in direct contact for an exchange to take place.Heterogeneity refers to the greater chance for variation in theperformance of services than in the production of tangible products.2–71.

The other overhead costs are traced according totheir usage. Depreciation and power are assigned by using machine hours (250 for magazines and 100 for brochures): $350/350 = $1.00 per machine hour for power and $40,000/20,000 = $2.00 per machine hour for depreciation. Setups are assigned according to the time required. Since magazines use twice as much time, they receive twice the cost: Letting X = the proportion of setup time used for brochures, 2X + X = 1 implies a cost assignment ratio of 2/3 for magazines and 1/3 for brochures.Exercises3–11.

Plastic, direct labor, and variable overhead are flexible resources;molds and other facility costs are committed resources. The cost of plastic, direct labor, and variable overhead are strictly variable. The cost of the molds is fixed for the particular action figure being produced; it is a step cost for the production of action figures in general. Other facility costs are strictly fixed.3–21.

However, other drivers may need to beconsidered because 63.4 percent may not be strong enough to justify the use of only receiving orders.3. Regression with pounds of material as the independent variable:V = $0.045 per pound of material delivered (rounded)F = $5,632 (rounded)Y = $5,632 + $0.045XR2 = 0.825, or 82.5%Pounds of material delivered explains about 82.5 percent of the variability in receiving cost. This is a better result than that of the receiving orders and should convince Tracy to try multiple regression.4. Regression routine with pounds of material and number of receiving orders as the independent variables:V1= $0.033 per pound of material delivered (rounded)V2= $7.147 per receiving order (rounded)F = $752 (rounded)Y = $752 + $0.033a + $7.147bR2= 0.95, or 95%Multiple regression with both variables explains 95 percent of the variability in receiving cost.

第二章产品成本计算Exercises2–1(指教材上的第2章练习第1题,下同)1. Part #72A Part #172CSteel* $ 12.00 $ 18.00Setup cost** 6.00 6.00Total $ 18.00 $ 24.00*($1.00 ⨯ 12; $1.00 ⨯ 18)**($60,000/10,000)Steel cost is assigned by calculating a cost per ounce and then multiplying this by the ounces used by each part:Cost per ounce = $3,000,000/3,000,000 ounces= $1.00 per ounceSetup cost is assigned by calculating the cost per setup and then dividing this by the number of units in each batch (there are 20 setups per year):Cost per setup = $1,200,000/20= $60,0002. The cost of steel is assigned through the driver tracing using thenumber of ounces of steel, and the cost of the setups is assigned through driver tracing also using number of setups as the driver.3. The assumption underlying number of setups as the driver is thateach part uses an equal amount of setup time. Since Part #72A uses double the setup time of Part #172C, it makes sense to assign setup costs based on setup time instead of number of setups. This illustrates the importance of identifying drivers that reflect the true underlying consumption pattern. Using setup hours [(40 ⨯ 10) + (20 ⨯10)], we get the following rate per hour:Cost per setup hour = $1,200,000/600= $2,000 per hourThe cost per unit is obtained by dividing each part’s total setup costs by the number of units:Part #72A = ($2,000 ⨯ 400)/100,000 = $8.00Part #172C = ($2,000 ⨯ 200)/100,000 = $4.00Thus, Part #72A has its unit cost increased by $2.00, while Part #172C has its unit cost decreased by $2.00.problems2–51. Nursing hours required per year: 4 ⨯ 24 hours ⨯ 364 days* = 34,944*Note: 364 days = 7 days ⨯ 52 weeksNumber of nurses = 34,944 hrs./2,000 hrs. per nurse = 17.472Annual nursing cost = (17 ⨯ $45,000) + $22,500= $787,500Cost per patient day = $787,500/10,000 days= $78.75 per day (for either type of patient)2. Nursing hours act as the driver. If intensive care uses half of thehours and normal care the other half, then 50 percent of the cost is assigned to each patient category. Thus, the cost per patient day by patient category is as follows:Intensive care = $393,750*/2,000 days= $196.88 per dayNormal care = $393,750/8,000 days= $49.22 per day*$525,000/2 = $262,500The cost assignment reflects the actual usage of the nursing resource and, thus, should be more accurate. Patient days would be accurate only if intensive care patients used the same nursing hours per day as normal care patients.3. The salary of the nurse assigned only to intensive care is a directlytraceable cost. To assign the other nursing costs, the hours of additional usage would need to be measured. Thus, both direct tracing and driver tracing would be used to assign nursing costs for this new setting.2–61.

The dominant cost is direct labor (presumably the salaries of the 100professionals). Although labor is the major cost of providing manyservices, it is not always the case. For example, the dominant costfor some medical services may be overhead (e.g., CAT scans). Insome services, the dominant cost may be materials (e.g., funeralservices).3.

Services have four attributes that are not possessed by tangibleproducts: (1) intangibility, (2) perishability, (3) inseparability, and (4)heterogeneity. Intangibility means that the buyers of services cannotsee, feel, hear, or taste a service before it is bought. Perishabilitymeans that services cannot be stored. This property affects thecomputation in Requirement 1. Inability to store services means thatthere will never be any finished goods inventories, thus making thecost of services produced equivalent to cost of services sold.Inseparability simply means that providers and buyers of servicesmust be in direct contact for an exchange to take place.Heterogeneity refers to the greater chance for variation in theperformance of services than in the production of tangible products.2–71.

The other overhead costs are traced according totheir usage. Depreciation and power are assigned by using machine hours (250 for magazines and 100 for brochures): $350/350 = $1.00 per machine hour for power and $40,000/20,000 = $2.00 per machine hour for depreciation. Setups are assigned according to the time required. Since magazines use twice as much time, they receive twice the cost: Letting X = the proportion of setup time used for brochures, 2X + X = 1 implies a cost assignment ratio of 2/3 for magazines and 1/3 for brochures.Exercises3–11.

Plastic, direct labor, and variable overhead are flexible resources;molds and other facility costs are committed resources. The cost of plastic, direct labor, and variable overhead are strictly variable. The cost of the molds is fixed for the particular action figure being produced; it is a step cost for the production of action figures in general. Other facility costs are strictly fixed.3–3High (1,400, $7,950); Low (700, $5,150)V = ($7,950 – $5,150)/(1,400 – 700)= $2,800/700 = $4 per oil changeF = $5,150 – $4(700)= $5,150 – $2,800 = $2,350Cost = $2,350 + $4 (oil changes)Predicted cost for January = $2,350 + $4(1,000) = $6,350problems3–61.

The use of ABC gives Mountain View Rentals a better idea of thetypes and costs of activities that are used in their business. Adding Level 4 bikes will increase the use of the most expensive activities, meaning that the rental rate will no longer be an average of $5 per rental day. Mountain View Rentals might need to set a Level 4 price based on the increased cost of both the bike and conversion cost.分步成本法6–11.

Since direct materials and direct labor are directly traceable toeach product, their cost assignment should be accurate.2. Elegant: (1.75 ⨯ $9,000)/3,000 = $5.25 per briefcaseFina: (1.75 ⨯ $3,000)/3,000 = $1.75 per briefcaseNote: Overhead rate = $21,000/$12,000 = $1.75 per direct labor dollar (or 175 percent of direct labor cost).There are more machine and setup costs assigned to Elegant thanFina. This is clearly a distortion because the production of Fina isautomated and uses the machine resources much more than thehandcrafted Elegant. In fact, the consumption ratio for machining is0.10 and 0.90 (using machine hours as the measure of usage). Thus,Fina uses nine times the machining resources as Elegant. Setupcosts are similarly distorted. The products use an equal number of setups hours. Yet, if direct labor dollars are used, then the Elegant briefcase receives three times more machining costs than the Finabriefcase.3. Overhead rate = $21,000/5,000= $4.20 per MHrElegant: ($4.20 ⨯ 500)/3,000 = $0.70 per briefcaseFina: ($4.20 ⨯ 4,500)/3,000 = $6.30 per briefcaseThis cost assignment appears more reasonable given the relativedemands each product places on machine resources. However, oncea firm moves to a multiproduct setting, using only one activity driverto assign costs will likely produce product cost distortions. Productstend to make different demands on overhead activities, and thisshould be reflected in overhead cost assignments. Usually, thismeans the use of both unit- and nonunit-level activity drivers. In thisexample, there is a unit-level activity (machining) and a nonunit-levelactivity (setting up equipment). The consumption ratios for each(using machine hours and setup hours as the activity drivers) are asfollows:Elegant FinaMachining 0.10 0.90 (500/5,000 and4,500/5,000)Setups 0.50 0.50 (100/200 and 100/200)Setup costs are not assigned accurately. Two activity rates areneeded—one based on machine hours and the other on setup hours:Machine rate: $18,000/5,000 = $3.60 per MHrSetup rate: $3,000/200 = $15 per setup hourCosts assigned to each product:Machining: Elegant Fina$3.60 ⨯ 500 $ 1,800$3.60 ⨯ 4,500 $ 16,200Setups:$15 ⨯ 100 1,500 1,500Total $ 3,300 $ 17,700Units ÷3,000 ÷3,000Unit overhead cost $ 1.10 $ 5.904:Elegant Unit overhead cost:[9000+3000+18000*500/5000+3000/2]/3000=$5.1 Fina Unit overhead cost:[3000+3000+18000*4500/5000+3000/2]/3000=$7.94–51.

Using activity assignments, this drops to $340,000/20 = $17,000 per order, a difference of $20,500 per order. For an order of 5,000 units, the order price can be decreased by $4.10 per unit without affecting customer profitability. Overall profitability will decrease, however, unless the price for orders is increased to JIT customers.3. It sounds like the JIT buyers are switching their inventory carryingcosts to Emery without any significant benefit to Emery. Emery needs to increase prices to reflect the additional demands on customer-support activities. Furthermore, additional price increases may be needed to reflect the increased number of setups, purchases, and so on, that are likely occurring inside the plant. Emery should also immediately initiate discussions with its JIT customers to begin negotiations for achieving some of the benefits that a JIT supplier should have, such as long-term contracts. The benefits of long-termcontracting may offset most or all of the increased costs from the additional demands made on other activities.4–71. Supplier cost:First, calculate the activity rates for assigning costs to suppliers: Inspecting components: $240,000/2,000 = $120 per sampling hourReworking products: $760,500/1,500 = $507 per rework hourWarranty work: $4,800/8,000 = $600 per warranty hourNext, calculate the cost per component by supplier:Supplier cost:Vance Foy Purchase cost:$23.50 ⨯ 400,000 $ 9,400,000$21.50 ⨯ 1,600,000 $ 34,400,000Inspecting components:$120 ⨯ 40 4,800$120 ⨯ 1,960 235,200Reworking products:$507 ⨯ 90 45,630$507 ⨯ 1,410 714,870Warranty work:$600 ⨯ 400 240,000$600 ⨯ 7,600 4,560,000 Total supplier cost $ 9,690,430 $ 39,910,070 Units supplied ÷400,000 ÷1,600,000 Unit cost $ 24.23* $ 24.94**RoundedThe difference is in favor of Vance; however, when the price concession is considered, the cost of Vance is $23.23, which is less than Foy’s component. Lumus should accept the contractual offer made by Vance.4–7 Concluded2. Warranty hours would act as the best driver of the three choices.Using this driver, the rate is $1,000,000/8,000 = $125 per warranty hour. The cost assigned to each component would be:Vance Foy。

The balance sheet for the merchandiser (Nile) has just one line forinventories, the ending inventory of the items purchased for resale.The balance sheet for the manufacturer (Orinoco) has three items:direct materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and finishedgoods inventory.The income statements are similar except for the computation of cost of goods available for sale. The merchandiser (Nile) simply showspurchases for the year plus beginning inventory. In contrast, themanufacturer (Orinoco) shows beginning work-in-process inventory plusthe three categories of cost that comprise manufacturing cost (directmaterials used, direct labor, and factory (or manufacturing) overhead)and then deducts the ending work-in-process inventory. The manufacturer then adds the beginning finished goods inventory to this cost of goodsmanufactured to get the cost of goods available for sale.6. The purpose is providing aggregate measures of inventory value and costof goods manufactured for external reporting to investors, creditors,and other external stakeholders.4-A3 (10-15 min.)There can be many justifiable answers for each item other than thelisted cost driver and behavior. The purpose of this exercise is togenerate an active discussion regarding those chosen by First Bank’smanagers. One point that should be emphasized is that many timesmanagers choose cost drivers that are not the most plausible or reliable because of lack of data availability. Cost drivers are also used as abasis to allocate activity and resource costs and so the availability of data is often an important consideration.ActivityOr CostResource Cost Driver Behaviora.* R Number of square feet Fb.** R Number of person hours Fc.

R Number of person hours Vj. R Number of minutes Vk. R Number of person hours Fl. A Number of loans* An argument can be made that maintenance of the building is an activity.If this was the case, resources such as supplies and labor would be resources consumed, and several resource cost drivers would be needed. In addition, a separate resource and associated cost driver would be needed for insurance costs. However, the company had a contract for maintenance (fixed price), so this was a fixed-cost resource that was added to other occupancy costs such as insurance. The cost driver chosen for all these occupancy costs was square feet occupied by the various departments.** Normally, the cost driver used for any labor resource is person hours.It is assumed that the staff person hours used are regular hours rather than overtime or temporary labor hours. Thus, the cost is fixed with respect to changes in hours used. As the hours used increases (decreases) theutilization of the resources increases (decreases) and eventually, management will need to make a decision whether to expand capacity (or whether to cutback on labor). This is an example of a step cost that is fixed over wideranges of cost-driver level.*** Students may try to determine the cost behavior of activities even thoughthe problem requirements do not ask for it. Point out that activities almostalways have mixed cost behavior because they consume various resources. Someof these are fixed-cost and others variable-cost resources. For example, theactivity “research to evaluate a loan application” consumes such fixed-costresources as manager labor time and computers (assumed owned by the bank).This activity also consumes variable-cost resources such as telecommunicationstime and external computing services.4-A4 (20-30 min.)1. The first step is to determine the cost per cost-driver unit for eachactivity:Monthly Cost- Cost perManufacturing Driver DriverActivity [Cost driver] Overhead Activity UnitMaterial Handling [Direct materials cost] $12,000 $200,000$Engineering [Engineering change notices] 20,000 20 1,Power [Kilowatt hours] 16,000 400,000Total Manufacturing Overhead $48,000Next, the costs of each activity can be allocated to each of the threeproducts:PHYSICAL FLOW / ALLOCATED COSTCost Senior Basic DeluxeMaterial Handling$.06 × 25,000 = $1,500$.06 × 50,000 = $ 3,000$.06 × 125,000 = $ 7,5 Engineering $1,000 × 13 = 13,000$1,000 × 5 = 5,000$1,000 × 2 = 2,000Power $.04 × 50,000 = 2,000$.04 × 200,000 = 8,000$.04 × 150,000 = 6,000 Total $16,500 $16,000 $15,5002. Overhead rate based on direct labor costs:Rate = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Total direct labor cost= $48,000 ÷ $8,000 = $DL$Overhead allocated to each product is:Senior: $ × 4,000 = $24,000Basic: $ × 1,000 = 6,000Deluxe: $ × 3,000 = 18,000Total $48,000Notice that much less manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to Basic using direct labor as a cost driver. Why Because Basic uses only asmall amount of labor but large amounts of other resources, especially power.3. The product costs in requirement 1 are more accurate if the costdrivers are good indicators of the causes of the costs -- they are both plausible and reliable. For example, kilowatt hours is certainly abetter measure of the cost of power costs than is direct labor hours.Therefore, the allocation of power costs in requirement 1 is certainly better than in requirement 2. Materials handling and engineering arelikewise more plausible. A manager would be much more confident in the manufacturing overhead allocated to products in requirement 1.Remember, however, that there are incremental costs of data collection associated with the more accurate ABC system. The benefit/costcriteria must be applied in deciding which costing system is “best.”4-B1 (20-30 min.)See Table 4-B1 on the following page.4-B2 (25-30 min.)1. $1,080,000 ÷ 45,000 hours = $24 per direct-labor hour2. (a) $585,000 ÷ 15,000 hours = $39 per direct-labor hour(b) $495,000 ÷ 30,000 hours = $ per direct-labor hour3. (a) $585,000 ÷ 97,500 hours = $6 per machine hour(b) $495,000 ÷ 30,000 hours = $ per direct-labor hour4.

Departmental rates that use direct-labor hours asthe base decrease the cost applied to units of A and C and leave B unaffected. Other products that use relatively less assembly time will increase in cost. Now examine changing to a base of machine hours in machining (part c vs. part a). Product B is the only one with an increase in cost in (c) compared to (a). Why Because B's uses only 16% of the direct labor hours used for A, B, and C, so it is is allocated only 16% of the costs allocated on the basis ofdirect labor hours. But it uses 40% of the machine hours, andthere is allocated 40% of costs that are allocated on the basis on machine hours. Therefore, it receives relatively more costs with a base of machine hours than with a base of direct-labor hours.TABLE 4-B1STATEMENT OF OPERATING INCOME OPERATING INCOME BY PRODUCT LINEThousands of Dollars Lawn HandScooter Mower Tool Cost Type,Parts Parts Parts Assignment Method Sales $990 $350 $380 $260Cost of goods sold:Direct material 400 175 125 100 Direct, Direct Trace Indirect manufacturing 94 68 1 14 12 Indirect –494 243 139 112Gross profit 496 107 241 148Selling and administrative expenses:Commissions 55 25 20 10 Direct, Direct Trace Distribution to warehouses 150 20 2 80 50 Indirect - Weight Total selling and administrative expenses 205 45 100 60Contribution to corporate expenses and profit 291 $ 62 $141 $ 88Unallocated expenses:Corporate salaries 11Other general expenses 17Total unallocated expenses 28Operating income before tax $2631 Total machine hours is 8,500 + 1,750 + 1,500 = 11,750. Indirect manufacturing cost per machine hour isthen $94,000 ÷ 11,750 = $8. The allocation to scooter parts is $8 × 8,500 machine hours = $68,000.2 Total weight shipped is 100,000 kg + 400,000 kg + 250,000 kg = 750,000 kg. Indirect distribution costs perkilogram is then $150,000 ÷ 750,000 kg = $. The allocation to scooter parts is $ × 100,000 kg = $20,000.4-B3 (30-35 min.)1.The existing system allocates all costs based on direct labor cost. The rate for allocating indirect production costs is:Estimated indirect production cost ÷ Estimated direct labor cost= ¥24,500,000 ÷ ¥35,000,000 = 70%That is, each time ¥1 is spent on direct labor, Watanabe adds ¥ of indirect production cost to the cost of the product.2. Under an ABC system, Watanabe would allocate indirect production costs separately for each activity. This would result in the following four allocation rates:Receiving: Receiving costs ÷ Direct material cost=¥4,800,000 ÷ 60,000,000 = ¥ per ¥1of dir. mat. Assembly: Assembly costs ÷ Number of control units=¥13,800,000 ÷ 92,000 = ¥150 per control unitQual. Control: Quality control cost ÷ QC hours=¥1,800,000 ÷ 600 = ¥3,000 per QC hourShipping: Shipping cost ÷ # of boxes shipped=¥4,100,000 ÷ 8,200 = ¥500 per box shipped3. (a) The cost will contain 3 components (in thousands of yen):Direct material ¥ 8,000Direct labor 2,000Indirect production cost (¥2,000 × .7 = 1,400) 1,400Total cost ¥11,400Price (¥11,400 × ¥14,820(b) The cost will have 7 components, 4 of them allocating indirect production costs (totals in thousands of yen):Direct materials ¥ 8,000Direct labor 2,000Receiving (¥ × 8,000)¥640Assembly (¥150 × 5,000) 750Quality control (¥3,000 × 50)150Shipping (¥500 × 600) 300Total indirect production cost 1,840Total cost ¥11,840Price (11 ,840 × ¥15,3924. The order from Nissan requires a relatively large amount of receiving, quality control, and shipping resources compared to the relative amount of labor required. This makes its indirect production costs are relatively expensive relative to the labor required. The following illustrates why an allocation on the basis of labor cost results in less costs than allocations based on the four activities:Budgeted Cost- Nissan Cost- NissanActivity Allocation Base Allocation Base PercentageDirect materials 60,000,000 8,000,000 %Direct labor 35,000,000 2,000,000Receiving 60,000,000 8,000,000Assembly 92,000 5,000Quality control 600 50Shipping 8,200 600Using the single direct-labor cost-allocation base, this order would receive % of all indirect production costs. The main reason that indirect production costs for this order under the ABC system are relatively high is the large relative cost of materials that drives a large allocation %) of receiving costs to this order. The allocations of both quality control and shipping costs are slightly larger that they would be using a direct-labor cost-allocation base, while the allocation of assembly costs is slightly smaller.4-B4 (50-60 min.)1. A summary of the analyses follows.Pen Cell-PhoneCasings Casings CompanyBase Gross Profit Percentage* % % %Plan Gross Profit Percentage** % % %Support of Product Manager Strong NoneSupport of President Moderate* See Exhibit 4-6 on p. 136 of the text.** See Panel B of Exhibit 4-B4 that follows.Exhibit 4-B4, Panels A and B on the following pages can be used to explain the impact of the control ler’s idea using the process map of the traditional costing system and the related financial reports. Notice that the $80,000 annual decrease in the cost of engineers needs to be converted to a $20,000 quarterly savings. The controller’s idea will result in an increase of % in the gross profit of the pen-casings line but a decrease of % in the cell-phoneline. The product manager of pen casings would probably give strong support to the idea but the cell-phone casings manager would most likely not support the idea.Although the company-level gross profit margin improves, the president’s support may not be strong. Why There is not a strong consensus among product-line managers. Top management is normally hesitant to support actions that do not have the unanimous support among product-line managers unless there is solid evidence of material improvement in profitability. While the current loss would be reversed, the return on sales is still nominal at 3,500 ÷ $480,000 = .73%.Exhibit 4-B4: Panel AProcess Map of Traditional Cost System[Direct Labor Hours = 4,500 +Exhibit 4-B4: Panel BPRO-FORMA FINANCIAL REPORTS:TRADITIONAL COST ALLOCATION SYSTEMSTATEMENT OF OPERTING INCOME CONTRIBUTION TO CORPORATE COSTSAND PROFIT [EXTERNAL REPORTING PURPOSE] [INTERNAL STRATEGIC DECISION MAKINGAND OPERATIONAL-CONTROL PURPOSE]Pen Casings Cell Phone CasingsSales $480,000 $360,000 $120,000 1 Cost of goods sold:Direct material 46,500 22,500 24,000 2 Direct labor 150,000 135,000 15,000Indirect manufacturing 200,000 163,636 3 36,364 4 Cost of goods sold 396,500 321,136 75,364 Gross profit 83,500 $ 38,864 $ 44,636 Corporate expenses (unallocated) 80,000Operating income $ 3,500Gross profit margin % % %1. $80,000 × .75 × 22. $12,000 × 23. $200,000 × [4,500/(4,500 + 1,000)]4. $200,000 × [1,000/(4,500 + 1,000)]5. $83,500/$480,000Perhaps the most important factor bearing on the president’s support is lack of confidence in the accuracy of the cost and hence gross margin figures. She probably will inquire whether the shift in the consumption percentages by the two activities is captured by the traditional costing system. Does the change in allocation rates from 90:10 to 82:18 based on direct labor hour changes accurately capture the impact of the operational changes An informal analysis of the controller’s idea might look like the following table.Based on the informal analysis, the President probably would expect the profitability of cell-phone casings to improve and the profitability of pen casings to be unaffected. This disagrees with the numerical analysis. Given the propensity of managers to embrace numerical results, less weight will likely be given this anal ysis compared to the “objective” numbers. As a result, she may question the validity of the numerical analysis as well as the value of the traditional costing system!Finally, the focus of improvement efforts should be directly on the pen-casing product line. This initiative deals mostly with the cell-phone line. What can be done to improve profitability of the pen casings Can prices be raised without losing too much volume Can operational improvements be made to lower the indirect manufacturing costs The controller’s idea is worthy of some support but it does not address the profitability issue head on.2. Exhibit 4-B4, Panel C on the following page is a process map that can be used to explain the impact of the controller’s idea. Panel D at the end oft he solution provides a detailed evaluation of the controller’s idea.Pen Cell-PhoneCasings Casings Company Base Gross Profit Percentage* % %) % Plan Gross Profit Percentage** % % % Support of Product Manager Neutral StrongSupport of President Strong* See the table on p. 139 of the text.** See panel D of Exhibit 4-B4 that follows.The controller’s idea will result in a slight increase in the gross profit of the pen-casings line but a dramatic turnaround in the profitability of thecell-phone line. The product manager of pen casings would probably be neutral or slightly positive about the idea because the idea does not focus on operational improvements that directly affect the pen-casings line. The cell-phone casings manager would give strong support to the idea – this may save his/her job! The president would strongly support this idea while encouraging all managers involved to keep up the good work. Also, note that the numbers agree with the informal analysis – generating confidence in the integrity of the cost accounting system.Exhibit 4-B4, Panel CProcess Map for ABC SystemExhibit 4-B4: Panel DPRO-FORMA FINANCIAL REPORTS FOR LOPEZ PLASTICS COMPANY:ACTIVITY-BASED COST ALLOCATION SYSTEMSTATEMENT OF OPERTING INCOME CONTRIBUTION TO CORPORATE COSTSAND PROFIT [EXTERNAL REPORTING PURPOSE] [INTERNAL STRATEGIC DECISION MAKINGAND OPERATIONAL-CONTROL PURPOSE]Pen Casings Cell Phone Casings Sales $480,000 $360,000 $120,000 Cost of goods sold:Direct material 46,500 22,500 24,000 Direct labor 150,000 135,000 15,000Processing activity 154,000 126,000 128,000 2Production support activity 46,000 14,375 3 31,625 4 Cost of goods sold 396,500 297,875 98,625 Gross profit 83,500 $ 62,125 $ 21,375 Corporate expenses (unallocated) 80,000Operating loss $ 3,500Gross profit margin % %1. $154,000 × [4,500 labor hours/(4,500 labor hours + 1,000 labor hours)]2. $154,000 × [1,000 labor hours/(4,500 labor hours + 1,000 labor hours)]3. $46,000 × [5 distinct parts/(5 distinct parts + 11 distinct parts)]4. $46,000 × [11 distinct parts/(5 distinct parts + 11 distinct parts)]3. As vice president, you probably are pleased with the new ABC system. The cost drivers that are used to allocate activity costs appear to be plausible and reliable and thus probably represent a sound cause-effect model of operations. This will improve both the accuracy of product costing and operating managers’ control over costs. Operating managers will be pleased with the ABC system because it helps them understand how their day-to-day work impacts costs and profits. From a behavioral perspective, this should behighly motivational.This problem emphasizes the importance of the cost-accounting system to managers. Different systems can result in significantly different management decisions. In this case, the product-line managers’ support for the controller’s idea changes when an ABC system is used to evaluate the idea. Although the company-level gross margins do not change, it is possible thatthe president would strongly support the idea based on ABC data. Why Neitherof the product-line managers is against the idea, and one strongly supports it. In addition, the president may have more confidence in the accuracy of the ABC analysis. The substantial losses of the current quarter have been completely eliminated and the serious profitability problem of the cell-phone casing product line has been reversed.4-1 A cost management system is a collection of tools and techniques that identifies how management’s decisions affect costs. The three purposesof a CMS are to provide1.cost information for operational control,2.cost information for strategic decisions, and3.measures of inventory value and cost of goods manufactured (orpurchased) for external reporting to investors, creditors, and otherexternal stakeholders.4-2 a. The production manager needs operational control information.b. Setting the product mix is a strategic decision.c. The cost of inventory that appears on the balance sheet is information that is used by external investors, creditors, and other stakeholders.4-3 Cost objects are any items for which decision makers desire a separate measurement of costs. They include departments, products, services, territories, and customers.4-4 No. Products are one of the main cost objects for most companies, but departments are also important cost objects because they represent a logical grouping of activities for which managers desire a separate determination of costs.4-5 The major purpose of a detailed cost-accounting system is to measure costs for decision making and financial reporting. Cost accounting systems become more detailed as management seeks more accurate data for decision making.4-6 The two major processes performed by a cost accounting system are cost accumulation and cost assignment. Cost accumulation is collecting costs by some “natural” classification, such as materials or labor, or by activities performed such as order processing or machine processing. Cost assignment is attaching costs to one or more cost objects, such as activities, processes, departments, customers, or products.4-7 Managers make important decisions on a daily basis. They base these decisions in large part on financial data provided by the cost accounting system. So it is critically important that the cost accounting system provide accurate and reliable financial information.4-8 Managers can specifically and exclusively identify direct costs with a given cost object (that is, directly trace them) in an economically feasible way. Indirect costs cannot be so identified. However, managers can usually identify a plausible and reliable cost driver to use to allocate resourcecosts to cost objects that consume the resources. When direct tracing is not economically feasible and a plausible and reliable cost driver cannot be found, costs should remain unallocated.4-9 Yes, the same cost (for example, the department supervisor's salary)can be direct with respect to a department but indirect with respect to the variety of products flowing through a department ., tables, chairs, and cabinets).4-10 Some costs can be physically linked with a department (or a product), but not in an economically feasible way. An example is the use of departmental meters for measuring power usage. Such devices could measure power costs as direct costs of a department. The alternative is to regard factory power costs as indirect costs of individual departments. Managers often decide whether the resulting increased accuracy provided by individual power meters is worth their additional cost; thus, the test of economic feasibility will decide whether a particular cost is regarded as direct or indirect.4-11 The four purposes of cost allocation are (1) to predict the economic effects of strategic and operational control decisions, (2) to obtain desired motivation, (3) to compute income and asset valuations, and (4) to justify costs or obtain reimbursement.4-12 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require publically-held companies to allocate all production-related costs and only production-related costs to its products for financial reporting to the public.4-13 No. The costs in a cost pool are not physically traced to cost objects. Only direct costs are traced to cost objects. A cost pool contains indirect costs that are allocated to cost objects using a single cost-allocation base.4-14 Some possible terms are reallocate, assign, distribute, redistribute, load, apportion, reapportion, and burden.4-15 For financial statement purposes, the typical accounting system does not allocate costs associated with value-chain functions other than production to the physical units produced. However, for guiding decisions regarding product-pricing and product-mix decisions, many companies allocate all costs, including R&D, design, marketing, distribution, and customer service costs. However, the allocations of these costs may not be embedded in the system that generates financial statements.4-16 Yes. The two criteria that should be met before using any measure as a cost-allocation base are economic plausibility and reliability. A measure should be plausible – make common sense. If managers cannot easily understand the logical relationship between a cost allocation-base and the costs of an activity or resource, managers will perceive the resulting allocations as arbitrary.4-17 Production maintenance costs are normally indirect. Sales commissions normally can be directly traced to specific products. The costs associated with process design are normally unallocated because it is too difficult to identify plausible and reliable cost-allocation bases, although some companies elect to allocate them.4-18 Generally not. They are direct as far as the physical product is concerned, but in accounting for their cost it would usually be impractical (too costly) to keep records of the amount of glue or tacks used in each unit of product. A more feasible method would be to consider these as supplies (indirect materials).4-19 Depreciation related to production activities is a product cost, not a period cost. Hence, it will become an expense as a part of manufacturing cost of goods sold. Thus, depreciation is not always an immediate expense.。
