CH. 1
CFO
(Chief Financial Officer) - Responsiblities include: finance, accounting, protections of assets, reimbursement job.
PERIOD COSTS

PLANNING
*requires management to look ahead and establish objectives*
RAW MATERIALS
*the basic materials and parts that are to be used in the manufacturing process* - Raw materials that can be physically and directly associated with the finished product during the manufacturing process are called *direct materials*.
COST CHART
- all costs - product costs/manufacturing costs: direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead (indirect materials, indirect labor, other indirect costs) - period costs/non-manufacturing costs: selling expenses, administrative expenses.
DETERMINE THE COSTS - wages payed to assembly workers - wood used to manufacture a chair - wages payed to a custodian worker
- direct labor - direct materials - manufacturing overhead (indirect labor)
WHAT are the three functions of Management?
1. planning (long term & short term ... *future*) 2. directing (implement the plans ... *current*) 3. controlling (measure performance & evaluate ... *past*)
COST OF GOODS MANUFACTURED FORMULA
Beginning Work in Process Inventory + Total Current Manufacturing Costs = Total Cost of Work in Process -----------> Total Cost of Work in Process - Ending Work in Process Inventory = Costs of Goods Manufactured
Managerial accounting provides financial information for all of the following except: a. other internal users. b. the CEO. c. the CFO. d. external users.
D. EXTERNAL USERS
Financial accounting focuses on providing information to internal users. T OR F?
FALSE (external users)
Managerial accounting applies only to merchandising and manufacturing companies. True or False
FALSE (it applies to many other aspects too)
PERIODIC INVENTORY SYSTEM
Inventory system that periodically adjusts for purchases and sales of inventory at the end of the reporting period based on a physical count of inventory on hand
consists of costs that are indirectly associated with the manufacture of the finished product.
MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD - They are impractical to trace to the finished product because their physical association with the finished product is too small in terms of cost - ex. rent of building, property taxes, salaries of personnel, depreciation, etc.
The balance sheet for a _______________________________ shows just one inventory category.
MERCHANDISER
Joe Delong believes that managerial accounting serves only manufacturing firms. Is his reasoning right?
NO he is not correct

AREA OF ACCOUNTING CHART
*FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND EXTERNAL AUDITING* - USERS: investors and creditors - MANDATED: yes - FOCUS: past - EMPHASIS (RELEVANCE OR RELIABILITY): reliability *TAXATION* -USERS: taxing authorities - MANDATED: yes -FOCUS: past - EMPHASIS: reliability *INTERNAL AUDITING* - USERS: management and auditors - MANDATED: yes - FOCUS: past - EMPHASIS: reliability *MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING* - USERS: managers - MANDATED: no - FOCUS: past, present, and future - EMPHASIS: relevance **ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS SUPPORT ALL OF THE ABOVE CRITERIAS*
WHAT are the main differences between managerial accounting and financial accounting?
*FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING*: - external users: creditors, stockholders, and regulators. - types and frequency of reports: financial statements / quarterly and annually - purpose of reports: general-purpose - content of reports: pertains to business as a whole, highly aggregated (condensed), limited to double-entry accounting and cost data, G.A.A.P standards - verification process: audited by a CPA *MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING*: - internal users: officers and managers - types and frequency of reports: internal reports / as frequently as needed - purpose of reports: special-purpose for a specific reason - content of reports: pertains to the subunits of a business, very detailed, extends beyond double-entry accounting to any relevant data, standards they go by is relevance to decisions being made. - verification process: no independent audits
INDIRECT MATERIALS
*Some raw materials cannot be easily associated with the finished product. These are considered indirect materials.* - Indirect Materials do not physically become part of the finished product. - They cannot be traced because their physical association with the finished product is too small in terms of cost. - Indirect materials are accounted for as part of manufacturing overhead. ex. glue, oil, tape
MANUFACTURING COSTS
1. direct materials 2. direct labor 3. manufacturing overhead.
Manufacturing overhead includes:
1. indirect materials 2. indirect labor 3. depreciation on factory buildings and machines 4. insurance, taxes, and maintenance on factory facilities.
INCOME STATEMENT
A financial statement that reports a company's revenues and expenses and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time.
FORMULA FOR SCHEDULE OF COGS
Beginning Inventory of Finished Goods + Cost of Goods Manufactured = Goods Available for Sale - Ending Inventory of Finished Goods = Cost of Goods Sold
FORMULA FOR COGS MANUFACTURED
Beginning Work In Process + Mfg. Costs Incurred This Period: + Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead Incurred = Total Manufacturing Costs Incurred = Total Costs in Work in Process - Ending Work In Process = Cost of Goods Manufactured
To perform the three management functions effectively, management needs information. One very important type of information is related to _________________.
COSTS - The following questions need answering: 1. What costs are involved in making the product or performing a service? 2. If production volume is decreased, will costs decrease? 3. What impact will automation have on total costs 4. How can we best control costs?
Managerial accountants have a single role within an organization: collecting and reporting costs to management. T OR F?

the balance sheet of a manufacturer may have ______________________ inventory accounts:
*3* 1. Finished Goods Inventory - shows the cost of completed goods on hand 2. Work in Process inventory - shows the cost applicable to units that have been started into production but are only partially completed 3. Raw Materials Inventory - shows the cost of raw materials on hand.
INDIRECT LABOR
*The wages of maintenance people, timekeepers, and supervisors are usually identified as indirect labor. Their efforts have no physical association with the finished product.* - Like indirect materials, indirect labor is part of manufacturing overhead. - ex. security guards, supervisors, etc.
PRODUCT COSTS
*include each of the manufacturing cost elements (direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead). They are costs that are a necessary and integral part of producing the finished product.* - These costs do not become expenses until the company sells the finished goods inventory.
DIRECTING
*involves coordinating diverse activities and human resources to produce a smooth-running operation* - This function relates to implementing planned objectives. - Involves selecting executives, appointing managers and supervisors, and hiring and training employees.
CONTROLLING
*is the process of keeping the firm's activities on track* - In controlling operations, managers determine: 1. whether planned goals are being met 2. when there are deviations from targeted objectives, they decide what changes are needed to get back on track

*raw materials* that become an integral part of the product and that can be conveniently traced directly to it - ex. wood, flour, vegetable, etc.
HOW is COGS calculated by the merchandiser and the manufacturer?
- For a merchandiser, cost of goods sold is computed by adding the beginning inventory to the cost of goods *purchased* and subtracting the ending inventory. - For a manufacturer, cost of goods sold is computed by adding the beginning finished goods inventory to the cost of goods *manufactured* and subtracting the ending finished goods inventory.
