17. A Matching Perspective  Why not include the rental cost of cooking equipment in COGS?

18. A Matching Perspective  Why not include the rental cost of cooking equipment in COGS?  A manufacturer treats manufacturing equipment depreciation as a product cost because some units may be produced in the current period but not sold until a later period.

19. A Matching Perspective  Why not include the rental cost of cooking equipment in COGS?  A manufacturer treats manufacturing equipment depreciation as a product cost because some units may be produced in the current period but not sold until a later period.  A software developer incurs costs to develop products that will be sold in a later period.  So in these two instances there is a need to match costs with revenues.

20. A Matching Perspective  Why not include the rental cost of cooking equipment in COGS?  A manufacturer includes equipment depreciation in product cost because some units may be produced in the current period but not sold until a later period.  A software developer incurs costs to develop products that will be sold in a later period.  So in these two instances there is a need to match costs with revenues.  There is no such matching concern with a restaurant. Furthermore, cost of goods sold is more useful if not confounded with various non-food costs.

38. Let’s look at the topic of assigning costs to cost objects.

42. Let’s look at the topic of cost classifications for decision making.

43. Relevant vs. Irrelevant Costs  Assume the Aussie Pies’ owners claimed that the cost per Aussie Pie (at a volume of 30,000 units sold) is $2.25 per pie.

44. Relevant vs. Irrelevant Costs  Assume the Aussie Pies’ owners claimed that the cost per Aussie Pie (at a volume of 30,000 units sold) is $2.25 per pie.  Assume that Aussie Pies turned down a corporate client that wanted to buy 1,000 pies at $2.00 each because the price was below $2.25 per pie.  Comment on the wisdom of this decision.

45. Relevant vs. Irrelevant Costs  Assume the Aussie Pies’ owners claimed that the cost per Aussie Pie (at a volume of 30,000 units sold) is $2.25 per pie.  Assume that Aussie Pies turned down a corporate client that wanted to buy 1,000 pies at $2.00 each because the price was below $2.25 per pie.  Comment on the wisdom of this decision.  Does the concept of “opportunity cost” affect your answer?

46. Relevant vs. Irrelevant Costs  If Aussie Pies is considering staying open 2 additional hours everyday, what costs on the next slide would be potentially relevant to this decision?
