3. 30-3 Explain the basic steps in the decision-making process Objective 1

4. 30-4 1.Define the problem. 2.Identify workable alternatives. 3.Determine relevant cost and revenue data. 4.Evaluate the cost and revenue data. 5.Consider appropriate nonfinancial factors. 6.Make a decision. The Decision-Making Process

5. 30-5 All manufacturing costs (variable and fixed) are included in the cost of goods manufactured. The value of ending inventory includes fixed costs. Absorption Costing

6. 30-6 Prepare income statements using the absorption costing and direct costing methods Objective 2

7. 30-7 Fixed and variable manufacturing costs are included Income Statement Using Absorption Costing

8. 30-8 Only variable costs are included in the cost of goods manufactured. Fixed manufacturing costs are charged to expense during the period. Fixed manufacturing costs are not included in: Cost of goods sold, or Ending inventories. Direct costing is not acceptable for GAAP financial reporting purposes. Direct Costing (also called Variable Costing)

9. 30-9 Manufacturing Margin: Direct Costing Sales minus the variable cost of goods sold. Marginal Income on Sales: Net Income: Manufacturing margin minus variable operating expenses. Marginal income on sales minus fixed manufacturing costs and fixed selling and administrative expenses.

10. 30-10 Only variable manufacturing costs are included Income Statement Using Direct Costing

11. 30-11 Using the contribution approach, analyze the profits of segments of a business Objective 3

12. 30-12 Contribution margin is the excess of revenues over variable costs of the business segment. Profitability of a business segment is judged by its contribution toward covering common costs. Controllable fixed costs of each segment are deducted to determine the segment’s contribution to the overall profit. Common costs are costs not directly traceable to a specific segment of a business. Common costs are not considered when computing the contribution margin. Contribution Margin

13. 30-13 Controllable fixed costs are costs that the segment manager can control. ANSWER: QUESTION: What are controllable fixed costs?

14. 30-14 Common costs are costs not directly traceable to a specific segment of the business. ANSWER: QUESTION: What are common costs?

15. 30-15 Determine relevant cost and revenue data for decision- making purposes Objective 4

16. 30-16 Relevant Cost: Future or expected cost that will change as a result of a decision. Sunk Cost: A cost that has already been incurred. Types of Costs When making decisions, sunk costs are irrelevant. Differential Cost: The difference in cost between one alternative and another. Opportunity Cost: The potential earnings or benefits that are given up because a certain course of action is taken.

17. 30-17 Opportunity Cost DilemmaDecisionOpportunity Cost To purchase equipment or invest in securities. Purchase equipment. Amount of interest or dividends received on securities if they had been purchased.

18. 30-18 Cost-Revenue Analysis for Decision Making Section 2: Cost-Revenue Analysis Chapter 30 Section Objectives 5.Apply an appropriate decision process in three situations: a.Pricing products in special cases. b.Deciding whether to purchase new equipment. c.Deciding whether to make or buy a part.

19. 30-19 Apply An Appropriate Decision Process In Three Situations: a.Pricing products in special cases b.Deciding whether to purchase new equipment c.Deciding whether to make or to buy a part Objective 5

20. 30-20 Direct costing is often useful in setting prices and considering purchase offers in special circumstances. Product Pricing in Special Situations I better talk to accounting about this?

21. 30-21 * Includes fixed costs, which are not relevant in this situation. Customer offers to buy 1,000 units at $25 per unit. The order will require $1 per unit in shipping costs. Management’s Analysis using Absorption Costing: Manufacturing costs ($220,000 ÷ 10,000 units)$22.00 Selling and administrative costs ($145,000 ÷ 9,000 units) 16.11 Management’s Analysis using Direct Costing: Variable manufacturing costs$15.00 Variable selling and administrative expenses 5.00 Variable costs per unit$20.00 Additional shipping cost 1.00 Potential Profit $25 - $21 = $4 per unit Total average cost per unit *$38.11 Total variable cost per unit $21.00 Product Pricing in Special Situations

22. 30-22 Does the company have sufficient manufacturing capacity? Will the special order jeopardize sales to existing customers? Do federal laws prohibit price differentials? Management needs to consider all relevant factors when analyzing special pricing situations: Product Pricing in Special Situations

23. 30-23 Purchasing New Equipment The net income under each alternative must be calculated and compared

24. 30-24 * Includes depreciation for the new machine and effects of other changes in fixed costs. CORT Industries Inc. is considering the purchase of new machinery. Purchasing New Equipment Income would increase by $5,000 per year

25. 30-25 Employee morale Product quality with the new machine Income Tax Considerations Timing of future cash receipts and expenditures Before purchasing the new equipment however, management needs to consider all relevant factors, including: Purchasing New Equipment

26. 30-26 Making or Buying a Part Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are not considered because they remain the same whether the part is purchased or made.

27. 30-27 Making or Buying a Part CORT Industries Inc. is weighing the alternatives of buying a part from an outside vendor, or making the part themselves.
