16. Manufacturing Costs The Product Direct Labor Direct Material Manufacturing Overhead

17. Direct Material Example: Steel used to manufacture the automobile. Example: Steel used to manufacture the automobile. Cost of raw material that is used to make, and can be conveniently traced, to the finished product.

18. Cost of salaries, wages, and fringe benefits for personnel who work directly on manufactured products. Direct Labor Example: Wages paid to an automobile assembly worker. Example: Wages paid to an automobile assembly worker.

19. All other manufacturing costs Manufacturing Overhead Materials used to support the production process. Examples: lubricants and cleaning supplies used in an automobile assembly plant. Indirect Labor Indirect Material Other Costs

20. All other manufacturing costs Manufacturing Overhead Cost of personnel who do not work directly on the product. Examples: maintenance workers, janitors and security guards. Indirect Labor Indirect Material Other Costs

21. All other manufacturing costs Manufacturing Overhead Examples: depreciation on plant and equipment, property taxes, insurance, utilities, overtime premium, and unavoidable idle time. Indirect Labor Indirect Material Other Costs

22. Classifications of Costs in Manufacturing Companies Prime Cost Conversion Cost Manufacturing costs are often combined as follows: Direct Material Direct Labor Manufacturing Overhead

23. Manufacturing Cost Flows Manufacturing Overhead Direct Material Direct Labor Work in Process Inventory

24. Manufacturing Cost Flows Manufacturing Overhead Direct Material Direct Labor Finished Goods Inventory Work in Process Inventory

38. Cost Classifications Cost behavior means how a cost will react to changes in the level of business activity.

39. Cost Classifications Cost behavior means how a cost will react to changes in the level of business activity. –Total variable costs change when activity changes. –Total fixed costs remain unchanged when activity changes.

40. Total Variable Cost Example Your total long distance telephone bill is based on how many minutes you talk. Minutes Talked Total Long Distance Telephone Bill

41. Variable Cost Per Unit Example Minutes Talked Per Minute Telephone Charge The cost per long distance minute talked is constant. For example, 5 cents per minute.

42. Total Fixed Cost Example Your monthly basic telephone bill probably does not change when you make more local calls. Number of Local Calls Monthly Basic Telephone Bill

43. Fixed Cost Per Unit Example Number of Local Calls Monthly Basic Telephone Bill per Local Call The average cost per local call decreases as more local calls are made.

46. Direct and Indirect Costs Direct costs Costs that can be easily and conveniently traced to a product or department. Example: cost of paint in the paint department of an automobile assembly plant. Indirect costs Costs that must be allocated in order to be assigned to a product or department. Example: cost of national advertising for an airline is indirect to a particular flight.

47. A cost can be direct to the department, but indirect to units of product produced in the department. –Example: department manager’s salary. Tracing costs directly to departments or products helps to identify and eliminate non-value added costs. Direct and Indirect Costs

48. A cost that can be significantly influenced by a manager is a controllable cost. Controllable and Uncontrollable Costs

50. Opportunity Cost The potential benefit that is given up when one alternative is selected over another. –Example: If you were not attending college, you could be earning $20,000 per year. Your opportunity cost of attending college for one year is $20,000.

51. Sunk Costs All costs incurred in the past that cannot be changed by any decision made now or in the future are sunk costs. Sunk costs should not be considered in decisions. –Example: You bought an automobile that cost $12,000 two years ago. The $12,000 cost is sunk because whether you drive it, park it, trade it, or sell it, you cannot change the $12,000 cost.

52. Differential Costs Costs that differ between alternatives. Example: You can earn $1,500 per month in your hometown or $2,000 per month in a nearby city. Your commuting costs are $50 per month in your hometown and $300 per month to the city. What is your differential cost? $300 - $50 = $250

53. Marginal Costs and Average Costs The extra cost incurred to produce one additional unit. The total cost to produce a quantity divided by the quantity produced. Marginal and average costs are largely a function of cost behavior -- variable and fixed costs.

54. Costs and Benefits of Information Costs Benefits More information does not mean more benefits if information overload results.
