Which of the following is/are considered a product cost?

the depreciation of manufacturing machinery the depreciation of a raw materials warehouse

prime costs

the direct materials and direct labor that are consumed in production

per-unit cost

transferring the cost of specific units from one account to another requires knowledge of each unit's per-unit cost - that is, the total manufacturing costs assigned to specific units.

true

finished goods inventory

unsold finished products available for sale to customers

_______ is a set of activities and resources required to create and deliver goods and services to customers.

value chain

Financial accountants use unit cost information to

-record the transfer of items from Finished Goods Inventory to Cost of Goods Sold. -record the transfer of completed goods from Work in Process Inventory to Finished Goods Inventory.

A company had a Finished Goods Inventory balance of $200,000 at the beginning of the year. Its cost of goods manufactured for the entire year was $500,000, and its Cost of Goods Sold balance for the year was $600,000. Based on this information, the company's Finished Goods Inventory balance reported in the balance sheet at the end of the year was $__________.

$100,000 Reason: ( 200,000 + 500,000 - 600,000)

Distinguish between direct and indirect costs.

Direct costs: Costs that can be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost objective.Examples: direct material and direct labor... Indirect costs: Costs cannot be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost object.Example: manufacturing overhead

Distinguish between product costs and period costs.

-See Slide 14-Chapter 16 1. Product Costs (manufacturing costs) a manufacturing environment represent resources consumed to create inventory. 2. Period Costs (operating expenses and income taxes) operating expenses associated with time periods, rather than with the production of inventory, are period costs.

Accounting for Manufacturing Operations

-See slide 12-Chapter 16 Manufacturing costs are often combined as follows: Prime Cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor. Conversion Cost= Direct Labor + Manufacturing Costs.

Management accounting systems enable managers to better understand

-a company's historical performance trends. -a company's projected future performance. -elements of a company's value chain.

Financial accounting information is

-composed primarily of general-purpose financial statements and related disclosures. -influenced heavily by generally accepted accounting principles. -provided primarily to investors, creditors, and other external parties.

Management accounting systems must be designed to

-make budgetary projections of future performance. -evaluate and reward management performance. -compare actual outcomes to budgetary projections.

The assets over which individual managers have decision-making authority

-produce returns that belong to the corporation. -produce returns that are used to evaluate the performance of those managers. -produce returns that can be used to determine management bonuses.

Describe how manufacturing costs flow through perpetual inventory accounts.

-see slide 14-Chapter 16 *When a perpetual inventory system is in use, the flow of manufacturing costs through the company's ledger accounts closely parallels the physical flow of goods through the production process. *Manufacturing costs originally recorded in three places: materials inventory, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. As these costs become applicable to goods placed into production, they are transferred from these manufacturing cost accounts to the work in process inventory. as units are completed, their cost is transferred from the work in process account to finished goods inventory. Then, when units are sold, their costs are transferred from finished goods inventory to the cost of goods sold.

perpetual inventory systems

-they provide managers with updated information about the amounts of inventory on hand and the per-unit costs of manufacturing products -virtually all large manufacturing companies use this system

The general principles governing the design of management accounting systems include

...

Direct materials

1. Raw materials & component parts that become an integral part of finished products. 2. Can be traced directly and conveniently to products. P.S...If materials cannot be traced directly to products, the materials are considered indirect and are part of manufacturing overhead.

Explain the three principles guiding the design of management accounting systems.

1. The management accounting system should aid in the identification of who exactly has the decision-making authority over the business assets. 2. The accounting information generated by the accounting system should be useful in planning and decision-making to the users of the information. 3. The Accounting reports thus generated should serve as a means of evaluating performance and rewarding the same.

A company had a Finished Goods Inventory balance of $150,000 at the beginning of the year. Its cost of goods manufactured for the entire year was $400,000, and its ending Finished Goods Inventory balance was $80,000.

470,000 (150,000 + 400,000 - 80,000)

What amount associated with December's manufacturing costs of these carts should be included in the company's income statement for the period ending December 31?

7.5 million (3,000 units sold x $2,500 per unit)
