19. Managerial Accounting - 7.19 Manufacturing Firms ä A manufacturing business uses labor, plant and equipment to convert materials into new finish products. ä Manufacturers have three kinds of inventory: 1 Materials inventory 2 Work in process inventory 3 Finished goods inventory

20. Managerial Accounting - 7.20 Manufacturing Firms ä Materials inventory - materials for use in the manufacturing process. ä For example, a glass container factory’s raw material inventory includes sand, soda ash and limestone.

21. Managerial Accounting - 7.21 Manufacturing Firms ä Work in process inventory - goods that are partially completed. ä Finished goods inventory - completed goods that have not yet been sold. ä Finished goods are what the manufacturer sells to a merchandising business, another manufacturer or the ultimate consumer.

22. Managerial Accounting - 7.22 Objective 2 Describe the value chain and classify costs by value chain functions.

23. Managerial Accounting - 7.23 Value Chain ä Research and development (R&D) - conducted to determine what new or improved products are to be introduced to the market. ä Design - the detailed engineering of products and services, or the process for producing them.

27. Managerial Accounting - 7.27 Objective 3 Distinguish direct costs from indirect costs.

28. Managerial Accounting - 7.28 Cost Objects, Direct Costs and Indirect Costs ä Cost objects are anything for which a separate measurement of costs is desired. ä Cost drivers are any factors that affect cost.

29. Managerial Accounting - 7.29 Cost Objects, Direct Costs and Indirect Costs ä Cost objects may include... – individual products (laptop computers, desktop models). – alternative marketing strategies (telephone sales, sales to retailers). – geographic segments of the business (U.S., Europe). – departments (personnel, accounting).

30. Managerial Accounting - 7.30 Cost Objects, Direct Costs and Indirect Costs ä Direct costs are those costs that can be specifically traced to the cost object. ä Indirect costs are costs that cannot be specifically traced to the cost object.

31. Managerial Accounting - 7.31 Objective 4 Distinguish among full product costs, inventoriable product costs and period costs.

32. Managerial Accounting - 7.32 Product Costs... – are the costs to produce (or purchase) tangible products intended for sale. ä There are two types of product costs: 1 Full product costs 2 Inventoriable product costs

33. Managerial Accounting - 7.33 Product Costs ä Full product costs include all resources used from designing a product to delivering it to a customer. ä Full product costs are the costs of all resources used throughout the value chain.

34. Managerial Accounting - 7.34 Inventoriable Product Costs Versus Period Costs ä Inventoriable product costs are used for external reporting. ä They do not include costs from all elements of the value chain. ä They are narrower in scope than full product costs. ä Inventoriable product costs must conform to GAAP.

35. Managerial Accounting - 7.35 Inventoriable Product Costs Versus Period Costs ä For external reporting, merchandisers’ inventoriable product costs include only costs that are incurred in the purchase of goods. ä These costs are included in the third element of the value chain. ä Costs incurred in other elements of the value chain are period costs.

36. Managerial Accounting - 7.36 Inventoriable Product Costs Versus Period Costs ä Inventoriable costs are an asset. ä They become an expense when the items are sold. ä Period costs flow as expenses directly to the income statement.

37. Managerial Accounting - 7.37 Inventoriable Product Costs Versus Period Costs ä For external reporting, manufacturer’s inventoriable product costs include raw materials plus all other costs incurred in the manufacturing process. ä Inventoriable product costs are incurred only in the third element of the value chain. ä Costs incurred in other elements of the value chain are period costs.

38. Managerial Accounting - 7.38 Major Categories of Inventoriable Product Costs – Direct materials – Direct labor – Manufacturing overhead

39. Managerial Accounting - 7.39 Major Categories of Inventoriable Product Costs ä Direct materials must meet two requirements: ä They must become a physical part of the finished product. ä Their costs must be separately and conveniently traced to the finished product.

40. Managerial Accounting - 7.40 Major Categories of Inventoriable Product Costs ä Direct labor is the compensation of employees who physically convert materials into the company’s products.

41. Managerial Accounting - 7.41 Major Categories of Inventoriable Product Costs ä Manufacturing overhead includes all manufacturing costs other than direct materials and direct labor. – Indirect materials – Indirect labor – Factory utilities, rent, insurance – Depreciation

42. Managerial Accounting - 7.42 Manufacturing Overhead Includes: – Indirect materials. ä These cannot be conveniently or economically traced to a particular finished product. ä Indirect materials are part of the manufacturing overhead cost. – Glue, nails – Thread, buttons – Bolts, squirt of oil

43. Managerial Accounting - 7.43 – Indirect labor. ä This is a cost difficult to trace to a specific product. – Forklift operators – Janitors – Plant managers – Supervisors – Machine helpers Manufacturing Overhead Includes:

44. Managerial Accounting - 7.44 Prime Cost and Conversion Costs ä Prime costs are the direct costs incurred in the manufacturing process (direct materials plus direct labor). ä Conversion costs are the costs of converting direct materials into finished products (direct labor plus manufacturing overhead).

45. Managerial Accounting - 7.45 Objective 5 Prepare financial statements of a manufacturing company.

46. Managerial Accounting - 7.46 Financial Statements for Service Companies ä There is no inventory and thus no inventoriable costs. ä The income statement does not include cost of goods sold. ä Revenues - Expenses = Operating income

47. Managerial Accounting - 7.47 Financial Statements for Merchandising Companies ä A merchandising company buys goods that are ready for immediate resale. ä Inventoriable costs are for the purchase of these goods plus freight-in.

48. Managerial Accounting - 7.48 Financial Statements for Merchandising Companies ä Beginning inventory + Purchases and Freight-in = Cost of goods available for sale – Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold

49. Managerial Accounting - 7.49 Financial Statements for Merchandising Companies ä When sales occur, Inventory decreases and Cost of Goods Sold increases. ä On the income statement, cost of goods sold is deducted from sales revenue to obtain the gross margin.

50. Managerial Accounting - 7.50 Financial Statements for Manufacturing Companies ä Manufacturing firms have the most complicated accounting with three types of inventory accounts. 1 Materials 2 Work in process 3 Finished goods

51. Managerial Accounting - 7.51 Financial Statements for Manufacturing Companies ä Materials inventory is the cost of materials on hand intended for use in manufacturing. ä Work in process inventory is the cost of goods that are in the manufacturing process but not yet complete. ä Finish goods inventory is the cost of the completed goods that are not yet sold.
