Est OH/Est Allocation base (MH, DLH, DL costs)

Margin of Safety is

Excess of budgeted or actual sales over the BE volume of sales

Cost Seperability

Expense that can be directly assigned to a specific activity or transaction.

Cost Traceability

If the COGM is greater than COGS then:

Finished Goods inventory has increased during the period

Which formula is used to calc BE point in sales dollars?

Fixed expenses/CM ratio

Managerial Accounting:

Focuses more on timeliness than precision

Cost Behavior

The way in which a cost reacts to changes in the level of activity Patterns - 1) fixed 2) Variable 3)Step 4) Mixed

TC=

VC+FC

Total Cost =

VC/unit x Units + TFC

CM is amount remaining after:

Variable expenses have been deducted from sales revenue

effect on BE point

^ VC/unit = ^ ^ Units sold = No Effect ^ Sales Price = Decrease ^ FC = ^ ^ CM = Decrease ^CM ratio = Decrease ^ Margin of Safety = No Effect

OH costs are

all product costs except DM and DL

Who would most likely use financial accounting info?

Creditors

Job Cost Sheet

DM(material requiz slip)+DL(time ticket)+OH application TC & Unit cost

Over Under app OH

A discretionary cost is usually specific in amount, or is determined by a formula such as a certain percentage of sales revenue. Also called discretionary expenditure or managed cost.

Fixed Costs

Costs that do not vary with the quantity of output produced

Variable Costs

Costs that vary with the quantity of output produced

Mixed Costs

Costs with both fixed and variable elements

High Low

High $ - Low $/ High unit - Low unit = Fixed Costs y=cost/unit x unit + FC

Estimate methods

High-Low Method, Scattergraphs, Reg Analysis

All other things equal, an increase in number of units sold will...

Increase operating income, increase TVC, increase total CM

Product - DM, DL, Manufact Overhead - until you finish Period - Sell and Admin

Inventory flows through main inventory accounts in which order?

Raw materials, WIP, Finished Goods, Manu OH, COGS

Breakeven Point =

SPx - VCx - FC = $0 or CMx - FC = $0 or FC/CM ratio$

What if?

SPx - VCx - FC = OI

Target Net Income

SRx - VCx - FC = target net income or (TFC= Target income)/cm

CM=

Sales - VC

Which is False?

T - Manufacturing company can use DLH as OH base in one department and MH in another F - Debit balance in the WIP indicated that not all good completed during the period were sold. F - Predetermined OH rate is computed by dividing budget or estimated units in oH base by Budget or Estim manu OH costs.

At BE point which is not true

T - Sales Revenue = TC F - CM is = TVC T - CM = TFC T - OI = $0

Which is False

T - VC will increase in total as activity does F - MC will increase per unit as activity does F - FC will remain constant per unit over all levels within relevent range

Which about Relevant Range is false?

T - Variable costs change in direct proportion to activity T - TFC remain constant T - Mixed Costs contain both Variable and Fixed components F - Fixed Cost per unit remains constant

COGM =

TC of all goods finished w/in a period. Direct Material in Prod - Direct Labor - Man OH - = Total Man Cost - Add: Begining WIP Less: End WIP = COGM

after taxes

Target OI/1- tax rate
