课后练习思考题1.定性销售预测和定量销售预测的优缺点是什么其适用范围又是什么答：（１）定性销售预测又称为定性分析法或非数量分析法，它主要是依靠预测人员丰富的实践经验和知识以及主观的分析判断能力，在考虑政治经济形势、市场变化、经济政策、消费倾向等各项因素对经营影响的前提下，对事物的性质和发展趋势进行预测和推测的分析方法。
定性销售预测方法又分为判断分析法和调查分析法两大类。
定性预测的优点在于注意对当期事物发展变化的把握，在资料不足的情况下可以加快预测速度；缺点是容易受到主观因素的影响，科学依据不足，准确性、可靠性较差。
（２）定量销售预测也称数量分析法。
它主要是应用数学的方法，对与销售有关的各种经济信息进行科学的加工处理，建立相应的数学模型，充分揭示各有关变量之间的规律性联系，并做出相应预测结论。
定量预测基本上分为：趋势预测分析法、因果预测分析法、季节预测分析法和购买力指数法。
定量预测的优点是结果的客观性。
但由于经济生活的复杂性，并非所有影响因素都可以通过定量进行分析，某些因素（例如，政治经济形势的变动、消费倾向、市场前景、宏观环境的变化等）只有定性的特征，定量预测比较机械，难以预测事物性质的发展变化；再者，定量分析也存在其本身的局限性，任何数学方法都不能概括所有的复杂的经济变化情况。
如果不结合预测期间的政治、经济、市场以及政策方面的变化情况，必然会导致预测结果脱离客观实际。
所以，我们必须根据具体情况，把定量分析与定性分析方法结合起来使用，这样才能收到良好的效果。
2.某家具公司采用调查分析法进行销售预测时，应如何去做答：通过对有代表性的顾客的消费意向进行调查，了解市场需求变化趋势，了解到顾客明年的购买量，顾客的财务状况和经营成果，顾客的爱好、习惯和购买力的变化，顾客购买本公司产品占其总需要量的比重和选择供应商的标准，这对销售预测将更有帮助。
3.在不同的产品寿命周期阶段，应如何有效地进行销售预测答:某种产品从投人市场开始直到退出市场为止，一般分为投人期、成长期、成熟期和衰退期四个阶段。

管理会计第14版(charles 查尔斯)英文影印版课后答案
COVERAGE OF LEARNING OBJECTIVESManagerial Accounting and the Business Organization1-A1 (10-15 min.)Because the accountant's duties are often not sharply defined, some of these answers could be challenged:1. Attention directing and problem solving. Budgeting involves makingdecisions about 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 ascorekeeping dimension.2. Problem solving. Helps a manager assess the impact of a decision.3. Scorekeeping. Reports on the results of an operation. Could also beattention direction if scrap is an area that might require management decisions.4. Attention directing. Focuses attention on areas that need attention.5. Attention directing. Helps managers learn about the informationcontained in a performance report.6. Scorekeeping. The statement merely reports what has happened.7. Problem solving. The cost comparison is apparently useful becausethe manager wishes to decide between two alternatives. Thus, it aids problem solving.8. Attention directing. Variances point out areas where results differfrom expectations. Interpreting them directs attention to possiblecauses of the differences.9. Problem solving. Aids a decision about where the parts should bemade.10. Scorekeeping. Determining a depreciation schedule is simply anexercise in preparing financial statements to report the results ofactivities.1. Budgeted Actual DeviationsAmounts Amounts or Variances Room rental $ 140 $ 140 $ 0Food 800 1,008 208UEntertainment 600 600 0Decorations 220 190 30FTotal $1,760 $1,938 $178U2. Because of the management by exception rule, room rental andentertainment require no explanation. The actual expenditure forfood exceeded the budget by $208. Of this $208, $150 is explained by attendance of 15 persons more than budgeted (at a budget of $10 per person) and $58 is explained by expenditures above $10 per person.Actual expenditures for decorations were $30 less than the budget. If all desired decorations were purchased, the decorations committee should be commended for their savings.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 she should not disclose any information about the new cereal.2. Roberto must address his level of competence for the assignment. Ifhis supervisor knows his level of expertise and wants an analysisfrom a “layperson” point of view, he should do it. However, if thesupervisor expects an expert analysis, Roberto must admit his lackof competence.3. The objectivity standard should cause Helen to decline to omit theinformation from her budget. It is relevant information, and itsomission may mislead readers of the budget.Because the accountant’s duties are often not sharply defined, some of these answers could be challenged:1. Scorekeeping. Records events.2. Scorekeeping. Simply recording of what has happened.3. Problem solving. Helps a manager decide between alternatives.4. Attention directing. Directs attention to the use of overtime labor.5. Problem solving. Provides information to managers for decidingbetween alternatives.6. Attention directing. Directs attention to why nursing costs increased.7. Attention directing. Directs attention to areas where actual resultsdiffered from the budget.8. Problem solving. Helps the vice-president to decide which course ofaction is best.9. Scorekeeping. Records costs in the department to which theybelong.10. Scorekeeping. Records actual overtime costs.11. Attention directing. Directs attention to stores with either high or lowratios of advertising expenses to sales.12. Attention directing. Directs attention to causes of returns of the drug.13. Attention directing or problem solving, depending on the use of theschedule. If it is to identify areas of high fuel usage it is attentiondirecting. If it is to plan for purchases of fuel, it is problem solving. 14. Problem solving. Provides information for deciding between twoalternative courses of action.15. Scorekeeping. Records items needed for financial statements.1 & 2. Budget Actual VarianceSales $75,000 $74,860 $ 140UCosts:Fireworks $35,000 $39,500 $4,500ULabor 15,000 13,000 2,000FOther 8,000 8,020 20UProfit $17,000 $14,340 $2,660U3. The cost of fireworks was $4,500 ÷ $35,000 = 13% over budget. Didfireworks suppliers raise their prices? Did competition cause retailprices to be lower than expected? There should be someexplanation for the extra cost of fireworks. Also, the labor cost was$2,000 ÷ $15,000 =13% below budget. It would be useful to discover why this cost was saved. Both sales and other costs were very close to budget.1-B3 (10 - 15 min.)1. Treasurer. Analysts affect the company's ability to raise capital,which is the responsibility of the treasurer.2. Controller. Advising managers aids operating decisions.3. Controller. Advice on cost analysis aids managers' operatingdecisions.4. Controller. Divisional financial statements report on operations.Financial statements are generally produced by the controller'sdepartment.5. Treasurer. Financing the business is the responsibility of thetreasurer.6. Controller. Tax returns are part of the accounting process overseenby the controller.7. Treasurer. Insurance, as with other risk management activities, isusually the responsibility of the treasurer.8. Treasurer. Allowing credit is a financial decision.1-1 Decision makers within and outside an organization use accounting information for three broad purposes:1. Internal reporting to managers for planning and controllingoperations.2. Internal reporting to managers for special decision-making and long-range planning.3. External reporting to stockholders, government, and other interestedparties.1-2 The emphasis of financial accounting has traditionally been on the historical data presented in the external reports. Management accounting emphasizes planning and control purposes.1-3 The branch of accounting described in the quotation is management accounting.1-4 Scorekeeping is the recording of data for a later evaluation of performance. Attention directing is the reporting and interpretation of information for the purpose of focusing on inefficiencies of operation or opportunities for improvement. Problem solving presents a concise analysis of alternative courses of action.1-5 GAAP applies to publicly issued annual financial reports. Internal accounting reports are not restricted by GAAP.1-6 Yes, but it covers more than that. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act applies to all publicly-held companies and covers the quality of internal accounting control as well as bribes and other matters.1-7 Users cannot easily observe the quality of accounting information. Thus, they rely on the integrity of accountants to be sure the information is accurate. Information that is unreliable is worthless, so if accountants do not have a reputation for integrity, the information they produce will not have value.1-8 Three examples of service organizations are banks, insurance companies, and public accounting firms. Such organizations tend to be labor intensive, have outputs that are difficult to define and measure, and have both inputs and outputs that are difficult or impossible to store.1-9 Two considerations are cost-benefit balance and behavioral effects. Cost-benefit balance refers to how well an accounting system helps achieve management's goals in relation to the cost of the system. The behavioral consideration specifies that an accounting system should be judged by how it will affect the behavior (that is, decisions) of managers.1-10 Yes. The act of recording events has become as much a part of operating activities as the act of selling or buying. For example, cash receipts and disbursements must be traced, and receivables and payables must be recorded, or else gross confusion would ensue.1-11 A budget is a prediction and guide; a performance report is a tabulation of actual results compared with the budget; and a variance reconciles the differences between budget and actual.1-12 No. Management by exception means that management spends more effort on those areas that seem to be out of control and less on areas that are functioning as planned. This method is an efficient way for managers to decide where to put their time and effort.1-13 No. There is no perfect system of automatic control, nor does accounting control anything. Accounting is a tool used by managers in their control of operations.1-14 Information that is relevant for decisions about a product depends on the product's life-cycle stage. Therefore, to prepare and interpret information, accountants should be aware of the current stage of a product's life cycle.1-15 The six functions are: (1) research and development – generation and experimentation with new ideas; (2) product and service process design – detailed design and engineering of products; (3) production – use of resources to produce a product or service; (4) marketing - informing customers of the value and features of products or services; (5) distribution – delivering products or services to customers; and (6) customer service –support provided to customers.1-16 No. Not all of the functions are of equal importance to the success of a company. Measurement and reporting should focus on those functions that enable a company to gain and maintain a competitive edge.1-17 Line managers are directly responsible for the production and sale of goods or services. Staff managers have an advisory function – they support line managers.1-18 Management accountants are the information specialists, even in non-hierarchical companies. However, in such companies they are more directly involved with managers and are often parts of cross-functional teams.1- 19 A treasurer is concerned mainly with the company's financial matters, the controller with operating matters. In large organizations, there are sufficient activities associated with both financial and operating matters to justify two separate positions. In a small organization the same person might be both treasurer and controller.1-20 The four parts of the CMA examination are: (1) economics, finance, and management, (2) financial accounting and reporting, (3) management reporting, analysis, and behavioral issues, and (4) decision analysis and information systems.1-21 This is not true. About one-third of CEOs come from finance or accounting backgrounds. Accounting is excellent preparation for top management positions because accountants are often exposed to many parts of the company early in their careers.1-22 Changes in technology are affecting how accountants operate. They must be able to account for e-commerce transactions efficiently and safely, they often must integrate their accounting systems into ERP systems, and an increasing number are beginning to use XBRL to communicate information electronically.1-23 The essence of the just-in-time philosophy is the elimination of waste, accomplished by reducing the time products spend in the production process and trying to eliminate the time spent in processes that do not add value to the product.1-24 Moving tools and products that are in process from one location to another in a plant is an activity that does not add value to the product. So changing the plant layout to eliminate wasted movement and time improves production efficiency.1-25 The four major responsibilities are: (1) competence - develop knowledge; know and obey laws, regulations, and technical standards; and perform appropriate analyses, (2) confidentiality - refrain from disclosing or using confidential information, (3) integrity - avoid conflicts of interest, refuse gifts that might influence actions, recognize limitations, and avoid activities that might discredit the profession, and (4) objectivity - communicate information fairly, objectively, and completely, within confidentiality constraints.1-26 Standards do not always provide the needed guidance. Sometimes an action borders on being unethical, but it is not clearly an ethical violation. Other times two ethical standards conflict. In situations such as these, accountants must make ethical judgments.1-27 (5-10 min.)Typical activities associated with the treasurer function include:❑Provision of capital❑Investor relations❑Short-term financing❑Banking and custody❑Credits and collections❑Investments❑Risk managementTypical activities associated with the controller function include:❑Planning for control❑Reporting and interpreting❑Evaluating and consulting❑Tax administration❑Government reporting❑Protection of assets❑Economic appraisal1-28 (5-10 min.)Activities 2, 4, 5, and 6 are primarily associated with marketing decisions. The management accountant would assist in these decisions as follows: Boeing Company’s pricing decision requires cost data relevant to the new method of distributing spare parts. will need to know the costs of the advertising program as well as the additional costs of other value chain functions resulting from increased sales. TexMex Foods will need to know the incremental revenues and incremental costs associated with the special order. Target Stores needs to know the impact on both revenues and costs of closing one of its stores.Activities 1, 7, and 8 are primarily associated with production decisions. The management accountant would assist in these decisions as follows. Porsche Motor Company needs an analysis of the costs associated with purchasing the part compared to the costs of making the part. Dell will need to know the costs of the training program and the savings associated with increased efficiencies in the setup and changeover activities. General Motors needs to know the costs and salvage values of the replacement equipment, the proceeds of the sale of the old equipment, and the operating savings associated with the use of the new equipment.1-30 (5 min.)1.

Line, productionMicrosoft is a company that most students will know and have some understanding of what functions its managers perform. Nevertheless, this may not be an easy exercise for those who have little knowledge of how companies operate.Research & development – Because software companies must continually come out with new products and upgrades to their current products this is a critical function for Microsoft. More than one-fourth of Microsoft’s operating expenses are devoted to R&D.Design of products, services, or processes – For Microsoft the design and R&D process probably overlap considerably. Product design is critical; process design is probably not. One essential part of design is beta testing – that is, field testing of new software. This quality-control step is essential to prevent customer dissatisfaction with new products.Production – Microsoft produces disks and CD-ROMs and the manuals and packaging to go with them. However, they are increasingly delivering software over the Internet, which takes an initial process design and then few resources. It is not likely a major focus for Microsoft.Marketing – Microsoft spends more on sales and marketing than on any other operating expense. Increasing competition in software sales makes marketing essential to the company’s future. This function includes advertising and direct marketing activities, but it also includes activities of the company’s sales force. Distribution – This function is becoming simpler for Microsoft as it delivers more and more software over the Internet. Although the company must stay abreast of competitors in delivery methods, this is not likely to create a major competitive advantage or disadvantage for Microsoft.Customer service – Customer service is important, but Microsoft tries to minimize its costs in this area by product design – making things work right without needing deep computer expertise. Still, poor customer service can severely impact a company, so Microsoft must attend to it.Support functions – Most of the time these are not a major focus. There is one exception recently for Microsoft. Legal support has been front and center. The very future of the company was based on court judgments for which good legal support was essential.The management accountant's major purpose is to provide information that helps line managers in making decisions regarding the planning and controlling of operations. The accountant supplies information for scorekeeping, attention directing, and problem solving. In turn, managers use this and other information for routine and non-routine decisions and for evaluating subordinates and the performance of sub-parts of the organization. Management accountants must walk a delicate line between (1) making sure that managers are properly using the pertinent information and (2) making sure that the managers, not the accountants, are doing the actual managing.1-35(5 min.)Other costs of a poor ethical environment include legal costs and costs due to high employee turnover. Other benefits of a good ethical environment include low employee turnover, low loss from internal theft, and improved customer satisfaction resulting from better quality and service (that result from a more productive work environment).1-36(5 min.)There are numerous examples.“You understand how important it is to record this sale before year end, don’t you?”“Doing it this way is common for all companies in our business, so don’t worry!”“Trust me, the inventory is at the warehouse.”This problem can form the basis of an introductory discussion of the entire field of management accounting.1. The focus of management accounting is on helping internal users tomake better decisions, whereas the focus of financial accounting ison helping external users to make better decisions. Managementaccounting helps in making a host of decisions, including pricing,product choices, investments in equipment, making or buying goods and services, and manager rewards.2. Generally accepted accounting standards or principles affect bothinternal and external accounting. However, change in internalaccounting is not inhibited by generally accepted principles. Forexample, if an organization wants to account for assets on the basisof replacement costs for internal purposes, no outside agency canprohibit such accounting. Of course, this means that organizationsmay have to keep more than one set of records. There is nothingimmoral or unethical about having multiple sets of books, but theyareexpensive. Accounting data are commodities, just like butter or eggs.Innovations in internal accounting systems must meet the samecost-benefit tests that other commodities endure. That is, theirperceived increases in benefits must exceed their perceivedincreases in costs. Ultimately, benefits are measured by whetherbetter decisions are forthcoming in the form of increased net profitsor cost savings.3. Budgets, the formal expressions of management plans, are a majorfeature of management accounting, whereas they are not asprominent in financial accounting. Budgets are major devices forcompelling and disciplining management planning.4. An important use of management accounting information is theevaluation of performance, which often takes the form of comparisonof actual results against budgets, providing incentives and feedback to improve future decisions.5.Accounting systems have an enormous influence on the behavior ofindividuals affected by them. Management accounting is moreconcerned with the likely behavioral effects of various accountingalternatives that may be adopted than is financial accounting.1-38(10 min.)The main point of this question is that cost information is crucial for decisions regarding which products and services should be emphasized or de-emphasized. The incentives to measure costs precisely are far greater when flat fees are being received instead of reimbursements of costs.Note, too, that nonprofit organizations and profit-seeking organizations have similar desires regarding management accounting. Accountability is now in fashion for many purposes, including justification of prices, cost control, and response to criticisms by investors (whether they be donors, taxpayers, or others).When somebody's money is at stake, accounting systems get much love and attention. In a survey of 550 hospitals, hospital financial executives said that improved cost accounting systems "are crucial to responding to changes in hospital payment mechanisms and that better cost information is essential for more profitable and efficient operations." Hospitals will increasingly identify costs by product (type of case), not just by departments.1-39 (10 min.)Paperwork and systems often seem to become ends in themselves. However, the rationale that should underlie systems design is the cost-benefit philosophy or approach that is implied in the quotation. The aim is to get the managers and their subordinates collectively to make better decisions under one system versus another system -- for a given level of costs.Marks & Spencer should look at each of the management accounting reports it produces with an eye toward how it helps managers make better decisions. Does it provide needed scorekeeping? Does it direct attention to aspects of operations that might need altering? Does it provide information for specific management decisions? These types of questions will help identify the benefit of the information in the report.Then the company must consider the cost – not just the cost of collecting the data and preparing the reports, but the cost of educating managers to use the information and the cost of the time to read, digest, and act on the information. Too much information may be costly because it makes it time-consuming (and thus costly) to sift through the reams of information to find the few items that are important. And one cost may be the loss of important information because the total volume of information makes it too difficult to ferret out the important items.1-40(10 min.) Financial information is important in all companies. But how managers get and use financial information can differ depending on the culture and philosophies of the company.Top executives of a company often represent a functional area that is critical to the comparative economic advantage of the company. If technology is crucial, engineers generally hold important executive positions. If marketing differentiates the company from others, marketing executive s usually dominate. But regardless of the source of a company’s competitive advantage, its success will eventually be measured in economic terms. They must attend to financial aspects to thrive and often even to survive.Management accountants must work with the dominant managers in any organization. The modern trend toward use of cross-functional teams places management accountants at the center of the action regardless of what type of managers and executives dominate. Most companies realize that there is a financial dimension to almost every major decision, so they want the financial experts, management accountants, involved in the decisions. But to be accepted as an important part of these teams, the management accountants must know how to help managers in various functional areas. In General Mills, if accountants can’t talk the language of marketing, they will not have great influence. In ArvinMeritor, if they do not understand the information needs of engineers they will not provide value.1-41(10-15 min.)1. Boeing's competitive environment and manufacturing processeschanged greatly during the 1990s. An accounting system that served them well in their old environment would not necessarily be optimal in the 2000s. Boeing's management probably thought that changes in the accounting system were necessary to produce the kind of information necessary to remain competitive.2. A cost-benefit criterion was probably used. Boeing's management maynot have quantified the costs and the benefits, but they certainlyassessed whether the new system would help decisions enough towarrant the cost of the system.Many of the benefits of a better accounting system are hard to measure.They affect many strategic decisions of an organization. Withoutaccurate product costs, management will find it difficult to assess the consequences of their decisions. An accurate accounting system will help to price airplanes and other products competitively.3. More accurate product costs will usually result in better managementdecisions. But if the cost of the accounting system that produces the more accurate costs is too high, it may be best to forego the increased accuracy. The benefit of better decisions must exceed the added cost of the system for a change to be desirable.1-42(10 min.)1. There are many possible activities for each function of Nike's valuechain. Some possibilities are:Research and development -- Determining changes in customers'tastes and preferences for shoes and sportswear to come up withnew products (maybe the next "Air Jordans").Product and service process design -- Design a shoe to meet theincreasing demands of competitive athletes.Production -- Determine where to produce products and negotiatecontracts with the companies producing them.Marketing -- Signing prominent athletes to endorse Nike's products.Distribution -- Select the best locations for warehouses fordistribution to retail outlets.Customer service -- Formulate return policies for products thatcustomers perceive to be defective.2. Accounting information that aids managers' decisions includes:Research and development -- Trends in sales for various products, to determine which are becoming more and less popular.Product and service process design -- Production costs of variousshoe designs.Production -- Measure total costs, including both purchase cost and transportation costs, for production in various parts of the world.Marketing -- The added profits generated by the added sales due toproduct endorsements.Distribution -- Storage and shipping costs for different alternativewarehouse locations.Customer service -- The net cost of returned merchandise, to becompared with the benefits of better customer relations.。

管理会计（高等教育出版社）于增彪（清华大学）改编余绪缨（厦门大学）审校CHAPTER 16COST-VOLUME-PROFIT ANALYSIS: A MANAGERIAL PLANNING TOOL QUESTIONS FOR WRITING AND DISCUSSION1.CVP analysis allows managers to focus onselling prices, volume, costs, profits, and sales mix. Many diffe rent “what if” questions can be asked to assess the effect on profits of changes in key variables.2.The units-sold approach defines sales vo-lume in terms of units of product and gives answers in these same terms. The sales-revenue approach defines sales volume in terms of revenues and provides answers in these same terms.3.Break-even point is the level of sales activitywhere total revenues equal total costs, or where zero profits are earned.4.At the break-even point, all fixed costs arecovered. Above the break-even point, only variable costs need to be covered. Thus, contribution margin per unit is profit per unit, provided that the unit selling price is greater than the unit variable cost (which it must be for break-even to be achieved).5.Profit = $7.00 ⨯ 5,000 = $35,0006.Variable cost ratio = Variable costs/Sales.Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin/Sales. Contribution margin ratio = 1 –Variable cost ratio.7.Break-even revenues = $20,000/0.40 =$50,0008.No. The increase in contribution is $9,000(0.30 ⨯ $30,000), and the increase in adver-tising is $10,000.9.Sales mix is the relative proportion sold ofeach product. For example, a sales mix of3:2 means that three units of one productare sold for every two of the second product.10.Packages of products, based on the ex-pected sales mix, are defined as a singleproduct. Selling price and cost informationfor this package can then be used to carryout CVP analysis.11.Package contribution margin: (2 ⨯ $10) + (1⨯ $5) = $25. Break-even point = $30,000/$25= 1,200 packages, or 2,400 units of A and1,200 units of B.12.Profit = 0.60($200,000 – $100,000) =$60,00013. A change in sales mix will change the contri-bution margin of the package (defined by thesales mix) and, thus, will change the unitsneeded to break even.14.Margin of safety is the sales activity inexcess of that needed to break even. Thehigher the margin of safety, the lower therisk.15.Operating leverage is the use of fixed coststo extract higher percentage changes inprofits as sales activity changes. It isachieved by increasing fixed costs while lo-wering variable costs. Therefore, increasedleverage implies increased risk, and viceversa.16.Sensitivity analysis is a “what if” techniquethat examines the impact of changes in un-derlying assumptions on an answer. A com-pany can input data on selling prices, varia-ble costs, fixed costs, and sales mix and setup formulas to calculate break-even pointsand expected profits. Then, the data can bevaried as desired to see what impactchanges have on the expected profit.17.By specifically including the costs that varywith nonunit drivers, the impact of changesin the nonunit drivers can be examined. Intraditional CVP, all nonunit costs are lumpedtogether as “fixed costs.” While the costs arefixed with respect to units, they vary with re-spect to other drivers. ABC analysis remindsus of the importance of these nonunit driversand costs.18.JIT simplifies the firm’s cost equation sincemore costs are classified as fixed (e.g., di-rect labor). Additionally, the batch-level vari-able is gone (in JIT, the batch is one unit).Thus, the cost equation for JIT includes fixedcosts, unit variable cost times the number ofunits sold, and unit product-level cost timesthe number of products sold (or related cost driver). JIT means that CVP analysis ap-proaches the standard analysis with fixed and unit-level costs only.EXERCISES 16–11. e2. c3. d4. b5. a16–21. f2. d3. b4. a5. g6. e7. c16–31.

Company A: 2 ⨯ 50% = 100%Company B: 6 ⨯ 50% = 300%The percentage increase in profits for Company B is much higher than Com-pany A’s increase because Company B has a higher degree of oper ating leve-rage (i.e., it has a larger amount of fixed costs in proportion to variable costs as compared to Company A). Once fixed costs are covered, additional reve-nue must cover only variable costs, and 60 percent of Company B’s revenue above break-even is profit, whereas only 20 perce nt of Company A’s revenue above break-even is profit.1.

Predictions of increases or decreases in the break-even point can be madewithout computation for price changes or for variable cost changes. If both change, then the unit contribution margin must be known before and after to predict the effect on the break-even point. Simply giving the direction of the change for each individual component is not sufficient. For our example, the unit contribution changes from $4.10 to $4.40, so the break-even point in units will decrease.Break-even units = $295,200/($7.15 – $2.75) = 67,091Now, let’s look at the break-even point in revenues. We might expect that it, too, will decrease. However, that is not the case in this particular example.Here, the contribution margin ratio decreased from about 63 percent to just over 61.5 percent. As a result, the break-even point in revenues has gone up.B reak-even revenue = 67,091 $7.15 = $479,7015.

CHAPTER 1Managerial Accounting, the Business Organization, andProfessional Ethics1-A1 Solution: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. Scorekeeping. A depreciation schedule is used in preparing financialstatements to 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 beattention directing 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 ina performance report.6. Scorekeeping. The statement reports what has happened. Could also beattention directing if the report highlights a problem or issue.7. Problem solving. Assuming the cost comparison is to help the managerdecide between 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 thedifferences.9. Problem solving. Aids a decision about where to make parts.10. Attention directing and problem solving. Budgeting involves makingdecisions about planned activities -- hence, aiding problem solving. Budgets also direct attention to areas of opportunity or concern --hence, directingattention. Reporting against the budget also has a scorekeeping dimension.1-A2 Solution:1.

Because of the management by exception rule, room rental and entertainmentrequire no explanation. The actual expenditure for food exceeded the budget by $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. Thedecorations committee should be asked for an explanation of the excessexpenditures.1-29 Solution:1. Controller. Financial statements are generally produced by the controller'sdepartment.2. Controller. Advising managers aids operating decisions.3. Controller. Advice on cost analysis aids managers' operating decisions.4. Treasurer. Analysts affect the company's ability to raise capital, which is theresponsibility of the treasurer.5. Treasurer. Financing the business is the responsibility of the treasurer.6. Controller. Tax returns are part of the accounting process overseen by thecontroller.7. Treasurer. Insurance, as with other risk management activities, is usually theresponsibility of the treasurer.8. Treasurer. Allowing credit is a financial decision.CHAPTER 2INTRODUCTION TO COST BEHAVIOR AND COST-VOLUME RELATIONSHIPS2-A3 Solution:The following format is only one of many ways to present a solution.

Support costs based on 60% of the cost of materials:Sign A Sign B Direct materials cost $400 $200 Support cost (60% of m ater ial s c o st) $240 $120 Support costs based on $50 per power tool operation:Sign A Sign B Power tool operations 3 6 Support cost $150 $300 2. If the activity analysis is reliable, by using the current method, Evergreen Signs is predicting too much cost for signs that use few power tool operations and is predicting too little cost for signs that use many power tool operations. As a result the company could be losing jobs that require few power tool operations because its bids are too high -- it could afford to bid less on these jobs. Conversely, the company could be getting too 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-B2 Solution:Board Z15 Board Q52Mark-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 operatio ns are undercosted with the markup method.3-B3 Solution: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 x 12,000= P260,000,000 - P180,000,000= P 80,000,000 per monthor = P200,000,000 - P15,000 x 8,000= P200,000,000 - P120,000,000= P 80,000,000 per month3-32 Solution:1.

Natural gas bill: C, energy usage3-34 Solution: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 total contributionmargin is added to operating income. The $57 sales revenue in 2001generated a total contribution margin of $57 × (1 - .37) = $36, which was $19 short of covering the $55 of fixed cost. But the additional $59 of salesrevenue 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.

Actual costing swings per unit. causeappears to be nonuniform incurrence of overhead and nonuniform production (seasonal production is a possibility).3. First, calculate a predetermined rate:OH rate = $11,640,000/1,200,000= $9.70 per unitThis rate is used to assign overhead to the product throughout the year. Since the driver is units produced, $9.70 would be assigned to each unit. Adding this to the actual prime costs produces a unit cost under normal costing:Unit cost = $9.70 + $20.00 = $29.70This cost is close to the actual annual cost of $30.00.4–21. Predetermined rates:Drilling Department: Rate = $600,000/280,000 = $2.14* per MHrAssembly Department: Rate = $392,000/200,000= $1.96 per DLH*Rounded2.

Unit overhead cost ⨯⨯= $11,696/8,000= $1.46**Rounded4–31. Yes. Since direct materials and direct labor are directly traceable to each product, theircost 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 is0.10 and 0.90 (using machine hours as the measure of usage). Thus, Fina uses ninetimes the machining resources as Elegant. Setup costs are similarly distorted. Theproducts 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. 4–3 Concluded3. 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) anda nonunit-level activity (setting up equipment). The consumption ratios for each (usingmachine 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. Two activity rates are needed—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 $ 5.904–4Activity dictionary:Activity Name Activity Description Primary/ Secondary Activity Driver Providing nursing care Satisfying patient Primary Nursing hoursneedsSupervising Coordinating Secondary Number of nurses nurses nursing activitiesFeeding patients Providing meals Primary Number of mealsto patientsLaundering bedding Cleaning and delivering Primary Pounds of laundry and clothes clothes and beddingProviding physical Therapy treatments Primary Hours of therapy therapy directed by physicianMonitoring Using equipment to Primary Monitoring hours patients monitor patient conditions4–51.

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 carrying costs to Emery withoutany 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-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 Foy Purchase cost:$23.50 ⨯ 400,000 $ 9,400,000$21.50 ⨯ 1,600,000 $ 34,400,000 Inspecting components:$120 ⨯ 40 4,800$120 ⨯ 1,960 235,200 Reworking products:$507 ⨯ 90 45,630$507 ⨯ 1,410 714,870 Warranty 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, therate is $1,000,000/8,000 = $125 per warranty hour. The cost assigned to each component would be:Vance Foy Lost sales:$125 ⨯ 400 $ 50,000$125 ⨯ 7,600 $ 950,000$ 50,000 $ 950,000 U nits supplied ÷400,000 ÷1,600,000I ncrease in unit cost $ 0.13* $ 0.59**Rounded。

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 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. Direct materials:Magazine (5,000 ? $0.40) $ 2,000Brochure (10,000 ? $0.08) 800 $ 2,800Direct labor:Magazine [(5,000/20) ? $10] $ 2,500Brochure [(10,000/100) ? $10] 1,000 3,500Manufacturing overhead:Rent $ 1,400Depreciation [($40,000/20,000) ? 350*] 700Setups 600Insurance 140Power 350 3,190Cost of goods manufactured $ 9,490*Production is 20 units per printing hour for magazines and 100 units per printing hour for brochures, yielding monthly machine hours of 350 [(5,000/20) + (10,000/100)]. This is also monthly labor hours, as machine labor only operates the presses.2.

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.

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.

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. Two activity rates are needed—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 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.

管理会计（英文版）课后习题答案（高等教育出版社）chapter3管理会计（高等教育出版社）于增彪（清华大学）改编余绪缨（厦门大学）审校CHAPTER 3ACTIVITY COST BEHAVIORQUESTIONS FOR WRITING AND DISCUSSION1.Knowledge of cost behavior allows a man-ager to assess changes in costs that result from changes in activity. This allows a man-ager to assess the effects of choices that change activity. For example, if excess ca-pacity exists, bids that at least cover variable costs may be totally appropriate. Knowing what costs are variable and what costs are fixed can help a manager make better bids.2.The longer the time period, the more likelythat a cost will be variable. The short run is a period of time for which at least one cost is fixed. In the long run, all costs are variable.3.Resource spending is the cost of acquiringthe capacity to perform an activity, whereas resource usage is the amount of activity ac-tually used. It is possible to use less of the activity than what is supplied. Only the cost of the activity actually used should be as-signed to products.4.Flexible resources are those acquired fromoutside sources and do not involve any long-term commitment for any given amount of resource. Thus, the cost of these resources increases as the demand for them increas-es, and they are variable costs (varying in proportion to the associatedactivity driver).mitted resources are acquired by theuse of either explicit or implicit contracts toobtain a given quantity of resources, regard-less of whether the quantity of resource available is fully used or not. For multiperiod commitments, the cost of these resources essentially corresponds to committed fixed costs. Other resources acquired in advance are short term in nature and essentially cor-respond to discretionary fixed costs.mitted fixed costs are those incurred forthe acquisition of long-term activity capacity and are not subject to change in the short run. Annual resource expenditure is inde-pendent of actual usage. For example, the cost of a factory building is a committed fixed cost. Discretionary fixed costs are those incurred for the acquisition of short-term activity capacity, the levels of which can be altered quickly. In the short run, resource expenditure is also independent of actual ac-tivity usage. An engineer’s salary is an e x-ample of such an expenditure.7. A variable cost increases in direct proportionto changes in activity usage. A one-unit in-crease in activity usage produces an in-crease in cost. A step cost, however, in-creases only as activity usage changes in small blocks or chunks. An increase in cost requires an increase in several units of activ-ity. When a step cost changes over relativelynarrow ranges of activity, it may be moreconvenient to treat it as a variable cost.8. A step cost with narrow steps can be treatedas variable, while one with wide steps is typ-ically treated as fixed.9.An activity rate is the resource expenditure for an activity divided by the activity’s pra c- tical capacity.10.Mixed costs are usually reported in total in the accounting records. How much of the cost is fixed and how much is variable is un- known and must be estimated.11. A scattergraph allows a visual portrayal of the relationship between cost and activity. It reveals to the investigator whether a rela- tionship may exist and, if so, whether a li- near function can be used to approximate the relationship.12.Managers can use their knowledge of cost relationships to estimate fixed and variable components. A scattergraph can be used as an aid in this process. From a scattergraph,a manager can select two points that best represent the relationship. These two points can then be used to derive a linear cost for- mula. The high-low method tells the manag- er which two points to select to compute the linear cost formula. The selection of these two points is not left to judgment.13.Because the scatterplot method is not re- stricted to the high and low points, it is poss- ible to select two points that better represent the relationship between activity and costs, producing a better estimate of fixed and va- riable costs. The main advantage of thehigh-low method is that it removes subjec-tivity from the choice process. The same linewill be produced by two different people.14.Assuming that the scattergraph reveals thata linear cost function is suitable, then themethod of least squares selects a line thatbest fits the data points. The method alsoprovides a measure of goodness of fit sothat the strength of the relationship betweencost and activity can be assessed.15.The best-fitting line is the one that is “clo s-est” to the data points. This is usually meas-ured by the line that has the smallest sum ofsquared deviations.16.No. The best-fitting line may not explainmuch of the total cost variability. There mustbe a strong relationship as well. 17.The coefficient of determination is the per-centage of total variability in costs explainedby the activity. As such, it is a measure ofthe goodness of fit, the strength of the rela-tionship between cost and activity.18.The correlation coefficient is the square rootof the coefficient of determination. The cor-relation coefficient reveals the direction ofthe relationship in addition to the strength ofthe relationship.19.If the variation in cost is not well explainedby activity usage (the coefficient of determi-nation is low) as measured by a single driv-er, then other explanatory variables may beneeded to build a good cost formula.20.If the mixed costs are immaterial, then themethod of decomposition is unimportant. Furthermore, sometimes managerial judg-ment may be more useful for assigningcosts than the use of formal statistical me-thodology.EXERCISES3–11.

Plastic, direct labor, and variable overhead are flexible resources; molds andother 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 produc-tion of action figures in general. Other facility costs are strictly fixed.1. X-ray film and developing supplies are likely to vary with the number of pa-cemakers produced. As production increases, we would expect more film and developing supplies to be used. Inspectors and X-ray machines should re-main constant within the relevant range.2. Total cost = $310,000 + ($1.60 ? 100,000) = $470,000Total fixed cost = $310,000Total variable cost = $1.60 ? 100,000 = $160,0003. Unit cost = $470,000/100,000 = $4.70 per pacemaker4.

The unit variable cost stays constant.1. Committed resources: trucks and technicians’ salariesFlexible resources: supplies, small tools, and fuel2. Variable activity rate = $840,000/70,000 = $12 per callFixed activity rate = $1,200,000*/80,000 = $15 per callTotal cost of one call = $12 + $15 = $27 per call*($26,250 ? 40) + ($6,000 ? 25)3.

Committed resource charges: monthly fee, activation fee, cancellation fee (iftriggered by contract cancellation prior to one year)Flexible resource charges: all additional charges for airtime, long distance and roaming2. Plan 1:Minutes available = Minutes used + Unused minutes60 minutes = 45 minutes + 15 minutesPlan 2:Minutes available = Minutes used + Unused minutes120 minutes = 45 minutes + 75 minutesPlan 1 is more cost effective. Jana will have some unused capacity (on aver-age, 15 minutes a month), and the overall cost will be lower by $10 per month.3. Plan 1*:Minutes available = Minutes used + Unused minutes60 minutes = 90 minutes + (- 30) minutesPlan 1*:M inutes available = Minutes used + Unused minutes60 minutes = 60 minutes + 0 minutesAdditional minutes = 30 minutes*There are a number of ways to illustrate the use of minuteswith Plan 1. Here are two possibilities. The problem, of course, is that all included monthly minutes are used, and Jana must purchase additional minutes.Plan 2:Minutes available = Minutes used + Unused minutes120 minutes = 90 minutes + 30 minutesPlan 2 is now more cost effective, as the monthly cost is $30. Under Plan 1, Jana will pay $20 plus $30 (30 minutes ? $1.00) or $50 per month. (The $1.00 additional charge includes the airtime and regional roaming charge.)1.Cost of Oil Changes$0$1,000$2,000$3,000$4,000$5,000$6,000$7,000$8,000$9,00005001,0001,500Number of Oil ChangesC o s tThe scattergraph provides evidence for a linear relationship.2.

Output of the regression routine calculated by a spreadsheet:Rounding the coefficients:Variable rate = $4.65 per oil changeFixed cost = $1,697Predicted cost for January = $1,697 + $4.65 (oil changes)= $1,697 + $4.65(1,000) = $6,347R2 = 0.97 (rounded)This says that 97 percent of the variability in the cost of providing oil changes is explained by the number of oil changes performed.4. The least-squares method is better because it uses all eight data points in-stead of just two.3–101.The scattergraph provides evidence for a linear relationship, but the observa-tion for 300 moves may be an outlier.2. High (800, $14,560); Low (100, $3,000)V = ($14,560 – $3,000)/(800 – 100)= $11,560/700 = $16.51 per move (rounded)F = $3,000 – $16.51(100)= $3,000 – $1,651 = $1,349Cost = $1,349 + $16.51 (moves)Predicted cost = $1,349 + $16.51(550) = $10,430 (rounded) 3–10 Concluded3. Output of the regression routine calculated by a spreadsheet:Rounding the coefficients:Variable rate = $18.43 per moveFixed cost = $498Cost = $498 + $18.43 (moves)= $498 + $18.43(550) = $10,635 (rounded)R2 = 0.93 (rounded)This says that 93 percent of the variability in the cost of moving materials is explained by the number of moves.4. Normally, we would prefer the least-squares method since the data appear tobe linear. However, the third observation may be an outlier. If the third obser-vation (300 moves and $3,400 of cost) is dropped, the R2 rises to 99 percent.The new cost formula would beCost = $1,411 + $17.28 (moves)The higher fixed cost is much more in keeping with what we observed with the scatterplot in requirement 1.1.

Depreciation:Variable rate = ($170,000 – $170,000)/(48,000 – 24,000) = 0 Fixed cost = $170,000 – $0(24,000) = $170,000Depreciation = $170,000Depreciation is purely fixed.Power usage:Variable = ($16,320 – $8,160)/(48,000 – 24,000) = $0.34Fixed cost = $8,160 – $0.34(24,000) = $0Power usage = $0.34(machine hours)Power usage is purely variable.Maintenance:Variable rate = ($149,000 –$101,000)/(48,000 –24,000) = $2.00Fixed cost = $101,000 – $2.00(24,000) = $53,000Maintenance = $53,000 + $2.00(machine hours)Maintenance is a mixed cost.2. Depreciation = $170,000Power usage = $0.34(32,000) = $10,880Maintenance = $53,000 + $2.00(32,000) = $117,0003. Machine related overhead = Depreciation + Power usage + Maintenance= $170,000 + $0.34(MHr) + $53,000 + $2.00(MHr)= $223,000 + $2.34(MHr)For 32,000 machine hours:Machine-related overhead = $223,000 + $2.34(32,000)= $223,000 + $74,880 = $297,880Cost formulas can be combined if the activities they describe share a com-mon objective and if the activity driver is the same. If the activities are not logically related, then it may not be wise to combine cost formulas even if they have a common driver.1. Maintenance cost = $5,750 + $16X2. Maintenance cost = $5,750 + $16(650) = $5,750 + $10,400 = $16,1503. To obtain the percentage explained, r needs to be squared: 0.89 0.89 = 79.21percent. The relationship appears strong but perhaps could be improved by searching for another explanatory variable. Leaving about 20 percent of the variability unexplained may produce less than satisfactory predictions.4. Maintenance cost = 12($5,750) + $16(8,400) = $69,000 + $134,400 = $203,400Note: The fixed cost from the regression results is the fixed cost for the month (since monthly data were used to estimate the equation). However, the question asks for the cost for the year. Therefore, the fixed cost from the re-gression equation must be multiplied by 12.3–141. Overhead = $2,130 + $17(DLH) + $810(setups) + $26(purchase orders)2. Overhead = $2,130 + $17(600) + $810(50)+ $26(120)= $2,130 + $10,200 + $40,500+ $3,120= $55,9503. Since total setup cost is $40,500 for the following month,a 50 percent de-crease would reduce setup cost to $20,250, saving $20,250 for the month.1. Warranty repair cost = $2,000 + $60(number of defects) –$10(inspectionhours)2. Warranty repair cost = $2,000 + $60(100) –$10(150) = $6,5003. The number of defects is positively correlated with warranty repair costs. In-spection hours are negatively correlated with warranty repair costs.4. In this equation, the independent variables—number of defects and inspec-tion hours—account for 88 percent of the variability in warranty repair costs.It seems that analysts have identified some very good drivers for warranty re-pair costs.3–161. Independent variable = direct labor hours; dependent variable = overheadcostHigh point (1,300, $35,200); low point (800, $23,370)Note: The high point is the point of highest direct labor hours (the indepen-dent variable), not the highest cost (which is for Month 7 in this case).2. Variable rate = ($35,200 – $23,370)/(1,300 – 800)= $11,830/500 = $23.66 per direct labor hourFixed cost = $35,200 – ($23.66)(1,300) = $4,442Formula for overhead cost = $4,442 + $23.66 (direct labor hours)Estimated overhead cost = $4,442 + $23.66(1,120) = $30,941 (rounded)3–16 Concluded3.

管理会计（高等教育出版社）于增彪（清华大学）改编余绪缨（厦门大学）审校CHAPTER 4ACTIVITY-BASED COSTINGQUESTIONS FOR WRITING AND DISCUSSION1.Unit costs provide essential informationneeded for inventory valuation and prepara-tion of income statements. Knowing unit costs is also critical for many decisions such as bidding decisions and accept-or-reject special order decisions.2.Cost measurement is determining the dollaramounts associated with resources used in production. Cost assignment is associating the dollar amounts, once measured, with units produced.3.An actual overhead rate is rarely used be-cause of problems with accuracy and timeli-ness. Waiting until the end of the year to en-sure accuracy is rejected because of the need to have timely information. Timeliness of information based on actual overhead costs runs into difficulty (accuracy problems) because overhead is incurred nonuniformly and because production also may be non-uniform.4.For plantwide rates, overhead is first col-lected in a plantwide pool, using direct trac-ing. Next, an overhead rate is computed and used to assign overhead to products. 5.First stage: Overhead is assigned to produc-tion department pools using direct tracing, driver tracing, and allocation. Second stage: Individual departmental rates are used to assign overhead to products as they pass through the departments.6.Departmental rates would be chosen overplantwide rates whenever some depart-ments are more overhead intensive than others and if certain products spend more time in some departments than they do in others.7.Plantwide overhead rates assign overheadto products in proportion to the amount of the unit-level cost driver used. If the prod-ucts consume some overhead activities in different proportions than those assigned by the unit-level cost driver, then cost dis-tortions can occur (the product diversity factor). These distortions can be significant if the nonunit-level overhead costs represent a significant proportion of total overhead costs.8.Low-volume products may consume non-unit-level overhead activities in much greater proportions than indicated by a unit-levelcost driver and vice versa for high-volumeproducts. If so, then the low-volume prod-ucts will receive too little overhead and thehigh-volume products too much.9.If some products are undercosted and oth-ers are overcosted, a firm can make a num-ber of competitively bad decisions. For ex-ample, the firm might select the wrongproduct mix or submit distorted bids.10.Nonunit-level overhead activities are thoseoverhead activities that are not highly corre-lated with production volume measures. Ex-amples include setups, material handling,and inspection. Nonunit-level cost driversare causal factors—factors that explain theconsumption of nonunit-level overhead. Ex-amples include setup hours, number ofmoves, and hours of inspection.11.Product diversity is present whenever prod-ucts have different consumption ratios fordifferent overhead activities.12.An overhead consumption ratio measuresthe proportion of an overhead activity con-sumed by a product.13.Departmental rates typically use unit-levelcost drivers. If products consume nonunit-level overhead activities in different propor-tions than those of unit-level measures, thenit is possible for departmental rates to moveeven further away from the true consumptionratios, since the departmental unit-level ra-tios usually differ from the one used at theplant level.14.Agree. Prime costs can be assigned usingdirect tracing and so do not cause cost dis-tortions. Overhead costs, however, are notdirectly attributable and can cause distor-tions. For example, using unit-level activitydrivers to trace nonunit-level overhead costswould cause distortions.15.Activity-based product costing is an over-head costing approach that first assignscosts to activities and then to products. Theassignment is made possible through theidentification of activities, their costs, and theuse of cost drivers.16.An activity dictionary is a list of activitiesaccompanied by information that describeseach activity (called attributes)17. A primary activity is consumed by the finalcost objects such as products and custom-ers, whereas secondary activities are con-sumed by other activities (ultimately con-sumed by primary activities).18.Costs are assigned using direct tracing andresource drivers.19.Homogeneous sets of activities are pro-duced by associating activities that have thesame level and that can use the same driverto assign costs to products. Homogeneoussets of activities reduce the number of over-head rates to a reasonable level.20. A homogeneous cost pool is a collection ofoverhead costs that are logically related tothe tasks being performed and for whichcost variations can be explained by a singleactivity driver. Thus, a homogeneous pool ismade up of activities with the same process,the same activity level, and the same driver.21.Unit-level activities are those that occur eachtime a product is produced. Batch-level activi-ties are those that are performed each time abatch of products is produced. Product-levelor sustaining activities are those that areperformed as needed to support the variousproducts produced by a company. Facility-level activities are those that sustain a facto-ry’s general man ufacturing process.22.ABC improves costing accuracy wheneverthere is diversity of cost objects. There arevarious kinds of cost objects, with productsbeing only one type. Thus, ABC can be use-ful for improving cost assignments to costobjects like customers and suppliers. Cus-tomer and supplier diversity can occur for asingle product firm or for a JIT manufactur-ing firm.23.Activity-based customer costing can identifywhat it is costing to service different custom-ers. Once known, a firm can then devise astrategy to increase its profitability by focus-ing more on profitable customers, convertingunprofitable customers to profitable oneswhere possible, and “firing” customers thatcannot be made profitable.24.Activity-based supplier costing traces allsupplier-caused activity costs to suppliers.This new total cost may prove to be lowerthan what is signaled simply by purchaseprice.EXERCISES4–11.Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Q uarter 3 Quarter 4 Total Units produced 400,000 160,000 80,000 560,000 1,200,000 Prime costs $8,000,000 $3,200,000 $1,600,000 $11,200,000 $24,000,000 Overhead costs $3,200,000 $2,400,000 $3,600,000 $2,800,000 $12,000,000 Unit cost:Prime $20 $20 $20 $20 $20Overhead 8 15 45 5 10Total $28 $35 $65 $25 $30 2. Actual costing can produce wide swings in the overhead cost per unit. Thecause appears to be nonuniform incurrence of overhead and nonuniform production (seasonal production is a possibility).3. First, calculate a predetermined rate:OH rate = $11,640,000/1,200,000= $9.70 per unitThis rate is used to assign overhead to the product throughout the year.Since the driver is units produced, $9.70 would be assigned to each unit.Adding this to the actual prime costs produces a unit cost under normal cost-ing:Unit cost = $9.70 + $20.00 = $29.70This cost is close to the actual annual cost of $30.00.1. $13,500,000/3,600,000 = $3.75 per direct labor hour (DLH)2. $3.75 ⨯ 3,456,000 = $12,960,0003. Applied overhead $ 12,960,000A ctual overhead 13,600,000U nderapplied overhead $ 640,0004. Predetermined rates allow the calculation of unit costs and avoid the prob-lems of nonuniform overhead incurrence and nonuniform production asso-ciated with actual overhead rates. Unit cost information is needed throughout the year for a variety of managerial purposes.4–31. Predetermined overhead rate = $4,500,000/600,000 = $7.50 per DLH2. Applied overhead = $7.50 ⨯ 585,000 = $4,387,5003. Applied overhead $ 4,387,500Actual overhead 4,466,250Underapplied overhead $ (78,750)4.

Is it primarily labordriven (e.g., composed predominantly of fringe benefits, indirect labor, and personnel costs), or is it machine oriented (e.g., composed of depreciation on machinery, utilities, and maintenance)? It is impossible for a decision to be made on the basis of the information given in this exercise.1. Predetermined rates:Drilling Department: Rate = $600,000/280,000 = $2.14* per MHrAssembly Department: Rate = $392,000/200,000= $1.96 per DLH*Rounded2.

Unit overhead cost = [($2.14 ⨯ 4,000) + ($1.96 ⨯ 1,600)]/8,000= $11,696/8,000= $1.46**Rounded1. Activity rates:Machining = $632,000/300,000= $2.11* per MHrInspection = $360,000/12,000= $30 per inspection hour*Rounded2. Unit overhead cost = [($2.11 ⨯ 8,000) + ($30 ⨯ 800)]/8,000= $40,880/8,000= $5.114–71. Yes. Since direct materials and direct labor are directly traceable to eachproduct, 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.4–7 Concluded3. 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 assign-ments. 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 non-unit-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. Two activity rates are needed—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 $ 5.90Activity dictionary:Activity Activity Primary/ ActivityName Description Secondary Driver Providing nursing Satisfying patient Primary Nursing hours care needsSupervising Coordinating Secondary Number of nurses nurses nursing activitiesFeeding patients Providing meals Primary Number of mealsto patientsLaundering Cleaning and Primary Pounds of laundry bedding and delivering clothesclothes and beddingProviding Therapy treatments Primary Hours of therapy physical directed bytherapy physicianMonitoring Using equipment to Primary Monitoring hours patients monitor patientconditions1. dCost of labor (0.75 ⨯ $40,000) $30,000Forklift (direct tracing) 6,000 Total cost of receiving $36,000 2. b3. a4. c5. dActivity rates (Questions 2–5):Receiving: $36,000/50,000 = $0.72 per partSetup: $60,000/300 = $200 per setupGrinding: $90,000/18,000 = $5 per MHrInspecting: $45,000/4,500 = $10 per inspection hour6. aOverhead rate = $231,000/20,000 = $11.55 per DLH Direct materials $ 850Direct labor 600Overhead ($11.55 ⨯ 50) 578*Total cost $ 2,028Units ÷100Unit cost $ 20.28*Rounded4–9 Concluded7. bDirect materials $ 850.00Direct labor 600.00Overhead:Setup 200.00 ($200 ⨯ 1)Inspecting 40.00 ($10 ⨯ 4)Grinding 100.00 ($5 ⨯ 20)Receiving 14.40 ($0.72 ⨯ 20) Total costs $ 1,804.40Units ÷100Unit cost $ 18.04**Rounded4–101.

Using activity-based costing, a much different picture of the deluxe and regu-lar products emerges. The regular model appears to be more profitable. Per-haps it should be emphasized.4–131.

Using activity assignments, this drops to $340,000/20 = $17,000 per order, a difference of $20,500 per or-der. 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 toEmery without any significant benefit to Emery. Emery needs to increase prices to reflect the additional demands on customer-support activities. Fur-thermore, 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 cus-tomers 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.4–141. 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 $ 34,400,000 Inspecting components:$120 ⨯ 40 4,800$120 ⨯ 1,960 235,200 Reworking products:$507 ⨯ 90 45,630$507 ⨯ 1,410 714,870 Warranty work:$600 ⨯ 400 240,000$600 ⨯ 7,600 4,560,000 Total 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 con sidered, the cost of Vance is $23.23, which is less than Foy’s component.Lumus should accept the contractual offer made by Vance.4–14 Concluded2. Warranty hours would act as the best driver of the three choices. Using thisdriver, the rate is $1,000,000/8,000 = $125 per warranty hour.

This problem allows the student to see what the accounting cost per unitshould be by providing the ability to calculate the cost with and without the duffel bags. With this perspective, it becomes easy to see the benefits of the activity-based approach over those of the functional-based approach. The activity-based approach provides the same cost per unit as the single-product setting. The functional-based approach used transactions to allocate accounting costs to each producing department, and this allocation probably reflects quite well the consumption of accounting costs by each producing department. The problem is the second-stage allocation. Direct labor hours do not capture the consumption pattern of the individual products as they pass through the departments. The distortion occurs, not in using transac-tions to assign accounting costs to departments, but in using direct labor hours to assign these costs to the two products.In a single-product environment, ABC offers no improvement in product cost-ing accuracy. However, even in a single-product environment, it may be poss-ible to increase the accuracy of cost assignments to other cost objects such as customers.4–161.

Using this rea-soning, the first set of departmental rates would be selected (machine hours for Department 1 and direct labor hours for Department 2).3.

Using activity-based costs as the standard, we can say that the first set ofdepartmental rates decreased the accuracy of the overhead cost assignment (over the plantwide rate) for both products. The opposite is true for the second set of departmental rates. In fact, the second set is very close to the activity assignments. Apparently, departmental rates can either improve or worsen plantwide assignments. In the first case, D epartment 1’s costs are assigned at a 17:1 ratio which overcosts B and undercosts A in a big way.Yet, this is the most likely set of rates at the departmental level! This raises some doubt about the conventional wisdom regarding departmental rates.4–171.

Because the batches and engineering orders did not change, the batch-level costs and product-level costs remain the same, behaving as fixed costs with respect to the unit-based driver. The facility-level costs are fixed costs and do not vary with any driver.3.

Thus, batches and orders increased, increasing the total cost of the model.4. Classifying costs by category allows their behavior to be better understood.This, in turn, creates the ability to better manage costs and make decisions.1. The total cost of care is $1,950,000 plus a $50,000 share of the cost of super-vision [(25/150) ⨯ $300,000]. The cost of supervision is computed as follows: Salary of supervisor (direct) $ 70,000Salary of secretary (direct) 22,000Capital costs (direct) 100,000Assistants (3 ⨯ 0.75 ⨯ $48,000) 108,000Total $ 300,000Thus, the cost per patient day is computed as follows:$2,000,000/10,000 = $200 per patient day(The total cost of care divided by patient days.) Notice that every maternity patient—regardless of type—would pay the daily rate of $200.2. First, the cost of the secondary activity (supervision) must be assigned to theprimary activities (various nursing care activities) that consume it (the driver is the number of nurses):Maternity nursing care assignment:(25/150) ⨯ $300,000 = $50,000Thus, the total cost of nursing care is $950,000 + $50,000 = $1,000,000.Next, calculate the activity rates for the two primary activities:Occupancy and feeding: $1,000,000/10,000 = $100 per patient dayNursing care: $1,000,000/50,000 = $20 per nursing hour。
