14、 expenses: selling and administrative costs 185,000Operating income (also income before taxes in this example)$ 472,0005.The balance sheet for the merchandiser (Nile) has just one line for inventories, the ending inventory of the items purchased for resale. The balance sheet for the manufacturer (Or
15、inoco) has three items: direct materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory.The income statements are similar except for the computation of cost of goods available for sale. The merchandiser (Nile) simply shows purchases for the year plus beginning inventory. In contr
16、ast, the manufacturer (Orinoco) shows beginning work-in-process inventory plus the three categories of cost that comprise manufacturing cost (direct materials used, direct labor, and factory (or manufacturing) overhead) and then deducts the ending work-in-process inventory. The manufacturer then add
17、s the beginning finished goods inventory to this cost of goods manufactured to get the cost of goods available for sale.6.The purpose is providing aggregate measures of inventory value and cost of goods manufactured for external reporting to investors, creditors, and other external stakeholders.4-A3
18、 (10-15 min.)There can be many justifiable answers for each item other than the listed cost driver and behavior. The purpose of this exercise is to generate an active discussion regarding those chosen by First Banks managers. One point that should be emphasized is that many times managers choose cos
19、t drivers that are not the most plausible or reliable because of lack of data availability. Cost drivers are also used as a basis to allocate activity and resource costs and so the availability of data is often an important consideration.ActivityOrCostResourceCost DriverBehaviora.*RNumber of square

21、an be made that maintenance of the building is an activity. If this was the case, resources such as supplies and labor would be resources consumed, and several resource cost drivers would be needed. In addition, a separate resource and associated cost driver would be needed for insurance costs. Howe
22、ver, the company had a contract for maintenance (fixed price), so this was a fixed-cost resource that was added to other occupancy costs such as insurance. The cost driver chosen for all these occupancy costs was square feet occupied by the various departments.* Normally, the cost driver used for an
23、y labor resource is person hours. It is assumed that the staff person hours used are regular hours rather than overtime or temporary labor hours. Thus, the cost is fixed with respect to changes in hours used. As the hours used increases (decreases) the utilization of the resources increases (decreas
24、es) and eventually, management will need to make a decision whether to expand capacity (or whether to cut back on labor). This is an example of a step cost that is fixed over wide ranges of cost-driver level.* Students may try to determine the cost behavior of activities even though the problem requ
25、irements do not ask for it. Point out that activities almost always have mixed cost behavior because they consume various resources. Some of these are fixed-cost and others variable-cost resources. For example, the activity “research to evaluate a loan application” consumes such fixed-cost resources
26、 as manager labor time and computers (assumed owned by the bank). This activity also consumes variable-cost resources such as telecommunications time and external computing services.4-A4(20-30 min.)1.The first step is to determine the cost per cost-driver unit for each activity:MonthlyCost-Cost perM

30、turing overhead cost is allocated to Basic using direct labor as a cost driver. Why? Because Basic uses only a small amount of labor but large amounts of other resources, especially power.3.The product costs in requirement 1 are more accurate if the cost drivers are good indicators of the causes of
31、the costs - they are both plausible and reliable. For example, kilowatt hours is certainly a better measure of the cost of power costs than is direct labor hours. Therefore, the allocation of power costs in requirement 1 is certainly better than in requirement 2. Materials handling and engineering a
32、re likewise more plausible. A manager would be much more confident in the manufacturing overhead allocated to products in requirement 1. Remember, however, that there are incremental costs of data collection associated with the more accurate ABC system. The benefit/cost criteria must be applied in d

Departmental rates that use dir
36、ect-labor hours as the base decrease the cost applied to units of A and C and leave B unaffected. Other products that use relatively less assembly time will increase in cost. Now examine changing to a base of machine hours in machining (part c vs. part a). Product B is the only one with an increase
37、in cost in (c) compared to (a). Why? Because Bs uses only 16% of the direct labor hours used for A, B, and C, so it is is allocated only 16% of the costs allocated on the basis of direct labor hours. But it uses 40% of the machine hours, and there is allocated 40% of costs that are allocated on the
38、basis on machine hours. Therefore, it receives relatively more costs with a base of machine hours than with a base of direct-labor hours.
