Metalanguage

For you to demonstrate ULOa, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.

Management Accounting is the practice of identifying, measuring, analyzing,


interpreting, and communicating financial information to managers for the pursuit of
an organization's goals. It varies from financial accounting because the intended
purpose of managerial accounting is to assist users internal to the company in making
well-informed business decisions.

Financial Accounting is the field of accounting concerned with the summary,


analysis and reporting of financial transactions related to a business. This involves
the preparation of financial statements available for public
use. Stockholders, suppliers, banks, employees, government agencies, business
owners, and other stakeholders are examples of people interested in receiving such
information for decision making purposes.
Cost Accounting is a systematic set of procedures for recording and reporting
measurements of the cost of manufacturing goods and performing services in the
aggregate and in detail.

Essential Knowledge

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are
available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc., and even
online tutorial websites.

Financial Accounting
Financial accounting is a branch of accounting that reporting financial information
primarily to the external parties, including investors (the suppliers of funds to the firm)
and creditors(debt provider to the entity). It is primarily concerned with the preparation
of financial statements that are useful for external users. The reports focusses on the
enterprise as a whole. The information is based on historical, qualitative, monetary
and verifiable information and is supported by documented evidence. Reports that are
provided in this branch are in the form of financial statements, tax returns and other
formal reports distributed to the various external users. This information may also be
used for financial analysis by management. This is also required for may corporation
firms as a requirements of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and BIR
(Bureau of Internal Revenue) for compliance with the country’s tax laws. Financial
accounting presents information with some degree of precision in reporting historical
information as at the same time it emphasizes verifiability and freedom from bias of
information that are relevant to the general user and some degree of timeliness in
reporting which is not critical in managerial accounting.

Management/Managerial Accounting
Management/Managerial accounting focusses on reporting information within the
organization rather than outside users. It addresses the individual or divisional
concerns rather than the enterprise as a whole. The information provided may be
current or forecasted, qualitative or quantitative, monetary or non-monetary and
mostly all the data are timely and futuristic. Some of the costs are not recorded on the
books of accounting in the organization. Timing and relevance of information that has
greater significance to the internal users of information and decision maker within the
organization. The measurement of

Timeliness is most important quality of information that should be provided to the


internal users than other thus, management should get the information they need for
thier immediate decisions that cannot wait until tomorrow.

Management accountig is not distinct and separate from financial accounting as the
data from financial accounting are used in managerial accouting system.
Cost Accounting
Cost accounting is an expanded phase of general or financial accounting which
informs management promptly with the costs of rendering a particular service, buying
and selling of products and producing a product. It is the field of accounting that
measures, records and reports information about costs and it is also the essential to
efficient cooperation of business and industry.

Cost accounting provides information to both financial accounting and managerial


accounting as necessary information to finalize their reports. This is an intersection
between financial and managerial accounting. It provides product costs information to
external parties for decision making and also to internal parties for planning and
controlling.

Big Picture in Focus: ULOb. Distinguish the differences of
merchandising and manufacturing operation of entities in the industry
and differentiate their cost accounting cycle.

Metalanguage

For you to demonstrate ULOb, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.

Merchandising concern business is one of the most common types


of businesses we interact with daily. It is a business that purchases finished products
and resells them to consumers.

Manufacturing concern business is any industry that makes products from raw
materials by the use of manual labor or machinery and that is usually carried out
systematically with a division of labor

Raw Material Inventory is the total cost of all component parts currently in stock that
have not yet been used in work-in-process or finished goods production.

Work in Process Inventory is materials that have been partially completed through
the production process.

Finished Goods Inventory refers to the number of manufactured products


in stock that are available for customers to purchase.

Direct Materials are those materials and supplies that are consumed during the
manufacture of a product, and which are directly identified with that product.

Direct Labor is the production or services labor that is assigned to a specific product,
cost center, or work order.

Factory Overhead is the costs incurred during the manufacturing process, not
including the costs of direct labor and direct materials. It is normally aggregated and
allocated to units produced during the period.

Cost of Goods Sold is the cost of acquiring or manufacturing the products that a
company sells during a period, so the only costs included in the measure are those
that are directly tied to the production of the products, including the cost of labor,
materials, and manufacturing overhead.
Essential Knowledge

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are
available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc., and even
online tutorial websites.

Merchandising Business Operation


No need to produce products as they buy products and sell the same products
to the end user. Figure 1. Presents the steps of calculating cost of goods sold for
merchandising concern business operation. Figure 2. Presents the cost flow of
merchandising company. The company purchases products or merchandise for cash
or credit to be sold to customer either on cash or on credit also. The unsold inventory
from last period that is called Beginning Merchandise Inventory and the net purchase
that composed of purchases plus freight in less purchase returns and allowances and
purchase discount will be added together to get the cost of goods available for sale.
Then, deduct the unsold product this period that is called Merchandise Inventory,
Ending to get the cost of goods sold or the cost of the product sold this period.

Illustration 1
Jose Company purchase merchandise worth P/ 750,000 pesos and return P/ 50,000
of it to the supplier and paid freight for the purchases P/ 2,750. The company avail the
P/ 25,000 worth of discount. The merchandise beginning and end, respectively are P/
75,000 and P/ 65,000.

Figure b.2 Cost flow of merchandising concern business.

Manufacturing Concern Business

All types of business entities needed to have an information system that provide
necessary information. Manufacturing businesses the information system that they
should have is designed to accumulate detailed
costs data relative to the production process.
Thus, they need to have a structured cost
accounting system that will show what are the
cost necessary for the production, where and how
these costs are utilized by the production
process.

The production process and the merchandising


activities must be understand to appreciate the
importance of the efficient cost accounting
system as manufacturing and merchandising
have similar activities as to the following:
a. Buying of goods;
b. Storing of goods;
c. Selling of goods;
d. Must have efficient management;
e. Adequate sources of capital;
f. Employ many workers.

The distinctions of manufacturing and


merchandising are the following:
a. Manufacturers, must produce the
product they are going to sell to the
customers while merchandisers, buy
items in a marketable form to be resold
immediately to the customers;
b. Manufacturing process convert purchase items to make products while in
merchandising no process like this.
Producing goods by the process of transforming raw materials with the use of labor
and other costs and expenses necessary to finish the product that are to be sold to
the costumers. The similarities and differences of merchandising and manufacturing
are presented above. The 3 main costs in manufacturing concern are the direct raw
materials, direct labor and factory overhead that will form part as the total
manufacturing costs. The manufacturing business will maintain 3 different types of
inventory account. First is the Raw Material inventory are used for raw materials that
are used to account unused raw materials. Second is Work in Process inventory that
are used to account those unfinished product that are still on process. Third is the
Finished Goods inventory is that same set up as Merchandise Inventory account that
are used to account unsold completed products that are readily available for sale and
some company use other type of inventor which is the Factory Supplies inventory that
are used to account overheads that are still not used in the production.

The costs of materials used, direct labor costs and factory overhead costs (that are
composed of indirect materials, indirect labor, utility costs, depreciation of factory
building and machineries and equipment, supplies and other factory costs) are
transferred and accumulated to the Work in Process Inventory account during the
accounting period. After the production is completed and the products are already
finished, all the manufacturing costs from Work in Process Inventory account will be
transferred to the Finished Goods Inventory account. The remaining cost in the Work
in Process inventory account will be the Work in Process Inventory, End and this will
be the Work in Process Inventory, beginning in the next accounting period. All the
costs that are transferred to finished goods will be accounted as Cost of Goods Sold
if the products are sold that are reported to the Statement of Comprehensive Income
or the Income Statement of the company and the costs of the unsold product will make
up the balance of Finished Goods Inventory, end that will form part as the costs of
Finished Goods Inventory, beginning for the next accounting period.

Essential Knowledge

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are
available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc., and even
online tutorial websites.

The Uses of Cost Accounting Data


Product cost is important for managing the company’s production costs thus
management needs the information that is provided by cost accounting to help the
manager to gather information for planning and controlling the company’s operation.
The cost accounting provides information that will determine the product cost and
generate properly costed product and meaningful financial statement and other
reports to management.

The information from cost accounting will be used for analysis of the trend of the
manufacturing costs incurred in the production process for management purposes.
The cost determination will help the company to make a variety of important marketing
decision.

1. Determining the selling price of a product. The product cost information is


necessary for management to come up with a reasonable product selling price
that will cover the total cost and expenditures that the company incurred in
manufacturing, storing, selling of product and rendering services to customers.
2. Meeting competition. The reasonable price must be determine by the managers
to meet the price acceptable by the customers means that the price is lower than
other companies that produces the same products. This would be achieve only if
the detailed information about the product cost is appropriately determine and
provided by the company to maintain the cost at a lowest as possible so that the
price will also reduce compare to other company.

3. Bidding on contracts. To be rewarded a manufacturing contract by the


government, private firms submits contract to bid order. The contract price must
be the lowest as possible from other bids so that you will be the one to get the
contract but to come up with the contract price the unit costs of the particular
products relating to the manufacturing contracts. The bid price must cover all the
necessary costs and expenditure to be incurred by the company and at the same
time the company will realized a reasonable profit from the contract.

4. Analyzing profitability. The information of the unit product cost are used by the
management to determine the amount of profit they earned from the products and
if the profit can be maximized by eliminating some unnecessary cost incurred by
the company and concentrating their efforts in creating a highest possible profit
for the company.

Costs are in evitable in a company thus this are said to be used by management
purposes to evaluate the managers for their performance, to evaluate also the
company’s personnel efficiency or sued for decision making purposes. This are the
uses of costs internally but externally to evaluate the top management performance in
the result of the stewardship challenge given to them and decide about the
organization.

Planning and Control


This are main purpose of cost accounting to the management.

Planning is the process of establishing objectives and determining the strategies to


achieve them. This will provide good management and coordinate all the departments
in the operation of the firm. This can be done by the management with the help of the
cost accounting information by providing historical costa that are basis for projecting
the data in the planning process. The cost accounting information can be also analyze
to consider the relationship among costs and use as aid in estimating cost in the future
and create a decision that will give advantage to the company’s operation by some
changes that can be implemented for the success of the organization such as change
in marketing strategies, obtaining additional capital and acquisition of new and
additional facilities.

Planning are divided in 3 components


1. Strategic planning – concerned in creating long-range goals and objective for
the organization as a whole.
2. Tactical planning – concerned in a shorter range plans, this are done to achieved
the strategic goals and objectives of the firm.
3. Operational planning – this are plans for day-to-day operation of the business in
achieving the tactical plans thus, emphasizing the coordination of the major factors
of production (materials, labor and overhead).
Controlling is the process of monitoring and evaluating the company’s operation and
determining whether the set of objectives based on the plans are achieve or not.

For you to demonstrate ULOd, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.

Job Order Costing System a system for allocating costs to groups of unique
products.

Process Costing System a system applicable to a continuous process of production


of the same and similar goods.

Essential Knowledge

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully

Job Order Costing System


It is one of the traditional approaches of product cost accounting system for those
company that make one-of-a-kind or special-order product. In this system, direct
material, direct labor and factory overhead are assigned to specific jobs orders or
batches of production. This system measures cost for each job, rather than for set
time periods. The company that uses this system are company that make ships,
airplanes, large machines and special orders. This are also used in service industry
firms such as in public accounting firms that are cost assigned to the audit
engagements, the consulting and architectural firms that assigned cost to contracts,
while for universities it may assign cost to every research projects. The unit cost are
computed by dividing the total manufacturing cost per job to the number good units
produced for that order. It uses one Work in Process Inventory Control account in the
general ledger and supported by job order cost cards or sheets for each job in process
at any point of time.

Process Costing System


It is the other traditional approaches of product cost accounting system for those
company that make a large number of similar products or maintain a continuous
production. In this system the manufacturing costs are group per department or per
work center. It emphasizes a time period rather than the time taken to complete an
order. This uses several Work in Process(WIP) account as this system provides one
WIP account each work center or department or process. The cost are determined by
dividing total manufacturing cost assigned to each department or work center during
the period to the equivalent unit of production. If production process is consists of four
department process then the cost of the four department will be added together to
determine the costs of the product. This system is used by the company that produces
paints, gas and oils, automobiles, bricks, or soft drinks.

Hybrid Costing
It is the combination of job order costing system and process costing system. When
the ideas and characteristics are blended from the two traditional cost accounting
system. The relationships are presented below to understand the concept of this
costing system.

Operation Costing
It is a hybrid product costing system that are used in a repetitive manufacturing where
finished product have common as well as distinguishing characteristics. The
manufacture of clothing this can be assembled in one operation but these can be move
to other operation and have a deluxe lining added.

In the general rule, job order product costing system is more costly than process
costing system. Job order costing system is more detailed in record keeping than
process costing system. The managers should compare the additional benefits that
will be derive from knowing the actual cost of each unit. Thus, if the record keeping
costs is equal from job order costing and process costing then it is better to use job
order costing system but in order have a better decision then they need to get all the
data needed to consider the process costing system.

Big Picture in Focus: ULOe. Distinguish the differences between Cost,


Expenses and Losses;

Metalanguage

For you to demonstrate ULOe, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.

Cost is the value of money that has been used up to produce something or deliver a
service.

Expenses is the cost of operations that a company incurs to generate revenue.

Losses is the fact of no longer having something or having less of it than before.

Essential Knowledge

Cost
This is associated to all kind and all types of business organization. Generally, the cost
incurred are categorized or classified by the organization dependent to its type of
organization involved.

It is the equivalent(cash equivalent) sacrificed for goods and services that are
expected to bring benefits to the organization. This will produce future benefits that
are usually means revenue.

Expenses
This is the expired costs that are deducted from the revenue in the income statement
to get the profit of the company as the cost are used up in producing or selling products
and rendering of service.

Losses
This is cost that are not used in the production or selling products and rendering of
services but they expire without producing any benefit.

Big Picture in Focus: ULOf. Define and distinguish the different types
of costs and expenditures that are useful in planning, control and
analytical processes; the cost are not limited to the following:

Metalanguage

For you to demonstrate ULOf, you will need operational understanding of the terms
enumerated below.

Product Costs is the cost from the supplier plus all costs necessary to get the item
into inventory and ready for sale.

Period Costs is the cost that are nescessarily be reported to the income statement
as deduction to the revenue.

Prime Cost is the direct cost of a commodity in terms of the materials and labor
involved in its production, excluding fixed costs

Conversion Cost is a term used in cost accounting that represents the combination
of direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs.

Direct Cost is a price that can be directly tied to the production of specific goods or
services.

Indirect Cost is cost that are not directly accountable to a cost object (such as a
particular project, facility, function or product).

Variable Cost a cost that varies with the level of output.


Fixed Cost is a cost that does not change with an increase or decrease in the amount
of goods or services.

Mixed Cost is a cost that contains both a fixed cost component and a
variable cost component.

Common Cost is a cost that is not attributable to a specific cost object, such as a
product or process.
Joint Cost is a cost incurred in a joint process. Joint costs may include direct
material, direct labor, and overhead costs incurred during a joint production process.

Capital Expenditure are funds used by a company to acquire, upgrade, and maintain
physical assets such as property, buildings, an industrial plant, technology, or
equipment.
Revenue Expenditure is a cost that is charged to expense as soon as the cost is
incurred.

Standard cost is an estimated or predetermined cost of performing an operation or


producing a good or service, under normal conditions.

Opportunity costs is the benefit that is missed or given up when an investor,


individual or business chooses one alternative over another.

Differential costs is the difference between the cost of two alternative decisions, or
of a change in output levels.

Relevant costs is a managerial accounting term that describes avoidable costs that
are incurred only when making specific business decisions.

Out-of-pocket costs is the direct payment of money that may or may not be later
reimbursed from a third-party source.

Sunk costs is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered.
Controllable costs re those costs that can be altered in the short term. More
specifically, a cost is considered to be controllable if the decision to incur it resides
with one person.

Non-controllable costs is an expense that is not within the sphere of control of a


manager.

Essential Knowledge

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes), you need to fully
understand the following essential knowledge laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to these resources. Thus, you
are expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are
available in the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc., and even
online tutorial websites.
PRODUCT COST AND PERIOD COST

Product Cost
This is consist of the 3 major components namely: Direct Material, Direct Labor and
Factory Overhead. This are cost nescessary to produce a finish product.

Direct Materials are basic inggredients that are transformed to a finished product
aligned with the use of direct labor anf factory overhead. This are materials that are
directly, conveniently and economically traceable to the product example: flour is for
bread, steel sheet for automobiles, wood for tables and chairs and others

Directly traceable means that materials can be seen immediately to the product.
Conveniently tarceable means that the materials can be recognized without undue
cost.
Economically treaceable means that the cost of the materials can be measureable
immediately without undue effort and cost.

If the material cost are not economically, directly and conveniently traceable they are
recorded as part of the factory overhead in the form of indirect materials. The example
of this cost are nails and paints in the furnitures, rivets in airplanes and bolts in
automobiles.

Direct Labor are amount of peso paid as wages to the people who works directly to
the product. This direct labor costs that are directly relates to the product of the
company includes the amount paid to machine operators, maintenance workers and
other workers directly involved in molding the products, while those amount paid to
the people not directly shaping the products are part of the indirect labor costs reported
to the factory overhead. This cost includes wages and salaries given to supervisors,
machine helpers and other support personnel. Payroll taxes, group insurance, sick
pay, vacation and holiday pay and other fringe benefits are usually included in the
factory overhead even it is part of the direct labor cost.

Factory Overhead the element that are considered as the indirect cost of all the
product cost. All cost that are not classified as direct material and direct labor costs
are recognized in this section. This are cost that are not practically, economically and
conveniently traced to the product. This is also called as manufacturing overhead,
factory burden and indirect manufacturing costs.

Indirect materials and supplies: nails, rivets, lubricants and small tools

Indirect labor costs: wages of lift-truck driver, maintenance and inspecton labor,
engineering labor, machine helpers and supervisors.

Other indirect factory costs: building, machinery and tool maintenance, propery taxes,
property insurance, pension costs, factory rent and utility.

Period Costs
This are cost that are reported as expense in the period it is incurred. This costs are
group into marketing or selling expenses and administrative or general expense.
Marketing or selling expense is the costs that are inccurred in connectionwith
securing the customer orders until the delivery the product or services to the hands of
the customers. This cost are referred to as order-getting and order-filling costs.
Example of this costs are advertising, shipping, sales travel, sales commission, sales
salaries, and expenses relates to the finished goods warehouse.

Administrative or general expenses is the costs that are spent to all executive,
organizational and clerical expenses that are not included in production and
marketing. This expenses are executive compensation, general accounting, general
administration and all expenses that are incurred by the company in the administrative
and general as a whole in the organization.

PRIME COSTS AND CONVERSION COSTS


Prime costs are costs that are direct cost to the product as this is the combination of
the direct material cost and direct labor costs.

Conversion costs are the costs combined from the direct labor and factory overhead
that are use to transform the raw materials to finished products.

DIRECT COSTS AND INDIRECT COSTS


Direct costs are costs that are immediately traceable to the product if it is product
costs and costs that are charged to the particular manufacturing department that
incurred the costs that are conveniently identified with the departments that benefited
from said costs are called direct departmental charges if the cost is the cost from the
department..

Indirect costs are costs that are not conveniently and economically traceable to the
product and if indirect costs that is charge to other departments that are later
transferred to other department are called indirect departmental charges.
VARIABLE COSTS, FIXED COSTS AND MIXED COSTS
Variable costs are costs that will vary directly to the change in total in relation to the
volume of production. In essence, the total costs will vary as the volume changes but
the cost per unit will not change even if there are changes in volume.

Figure f.1. Plotted graph for variable costs.


Illustration 1
The labor cost of the company is P/ 4 pesos per volume produce
Volume Labor cost Cost per Unit(volume)
May 8,000 32,000 4
June 9,500 38,000 4
July 7,800 31,200 4
August 6,500 26,000 4
September 9,900 39,600 4
October 6,700 26,800 4
November 8,800 35,200 4

Therefore, the labor cost per unit will not change but the total costs will increase if the
volume will increase but if the volume will decrease then the total costs will also
decrease.

Fixed costs are costs that will remain constant in total even if there are changes in
volume of production but as to per unit it will vary inversely to the change in volume.

Examples are salaries of production executives, depreciation of the equipment and


building using straight-line basis of depreciation rental payments and insurance.

This costs are categorized into committed fixed costs and managed fixed costs.

Committed fixed costs are costs that are relatively committed on the management
as a result of past decision in a long-term basis. Example; depreciation.

Managed fixed costs are costs that are incurred in a short term basis and can be
easily modified and changed in respond to management objectives. Example;
advertising, research and development and training of employees.

Figure f.2
Illustration 2
The rental cost of the company is P/ 100,000 pesos yearly.
Volume Rental cost Cost per Unit(volume)
May 8,000 100,000 12.5
June 9,090 100,000 11.0
July 8,333 100,000 12.0
August 8,695 100,000 11.5
September 7,692 100,000 13.0
October 6,400 100,000 15.625
November 7,142 100,000 14.00

Therefore, the total cost will not change as volume change as even if no produce the
cost will still be incurred by the company but the cost per unit is changing inversely as
the volume increase the cost per unit decreases and the cost per unit will increase if
the volume will decrease.

Mixed Costs are costs that has both the characteristics of fixed and variable cost or
this are cost that are partly fixed and partly variable. This cost has two types; semi-
variable costs and step costs.

Semi-variable costs are costs that definitely has fixed portion of the minimum fee
required and the variable portion is charge of using the service. Examples; utilities,
cost of cellphone or telephone plan. In the figure f.3 the line where it start is the fixed
portion and as the volume increase the cost will increase accordingly and that is the
variable portion of the costs.

Figure f.3 Semi-variable cost graphical illustration.

Illustration 3
The company renting a building for P/ 250,000 and in addition the company also will
pay 2% of the total sales of the company per year. The company earned a P/
2,500,000 total sales for the current year.

Fixed rent 250,000


Variable rent (P/ 2,500,000*2%) 50,000
Total rent expense 300,000
Step Costs are costs changes abruptly in a various activity levels. This are similar to
fixed cost in a very small relevant range. In other words the fixed costs will change in
a various level of production of the company as presented in the figure f.4.

Figure f.4 The graphical illustration of the step costs.

Separating the Fixed cost portion and the Variable cost portion in the mixed
costs

The problem of the manager is to ascertain as to how much is the fixed portion of the
mixed costs thus, separating the variable and fixed in a mixed cost is necessary. Then,
the manager will now have to use either of the three (3) methods of separating fixed
and variable costs to analyze and evaluate the cost incurred by the company.

This course will only discuss two of the methods namely the High-Low Method and
the Least Square Method, while the scatter graph method will be discuss in other
accounting related subject.

High-Low Method is the method of separating fixed and variable components of the
mixed cost by getting the highest volume and their corresponding cost and the lowest
volume and also their corresponding cost. Then follow the formula below
Cost of the Highest Volume minus(-) Cost of the Lowest
Volume
Variable Costs/unit = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Highest Volume minus(–) Lowest Volume
or
CHV – CLV
VCU = ------------------
HV - LV

Fixed Cost = Cost of the highest volume – (Highest volume * Variable cost per unit)
or
FC = CHV – (HV * VCU)
or
Fixed Cost = Cost of the lowest volume – (Lowest volume * Variable cost per unit)
or
FC = CLV – (LV * VCU)

Total costs = Fixed cost + Variable costs or TC = FC + VC

Whereas;

Variable costs = volume produced * Variable cost per unit or V * VCU

Legends:
TC – Total Costs VC – Variable Costs
FC – Fixed Costs VCU – Variable Cost per Unit
FCU – Fixed Cost per Unit TCU – Total Cost per Unit
V – Volume LV – Lowest Volume
HV – Highest Volume CLV – Costs of the Lowest Volume
CHV – Costs of the Highest Volume

Required: Using High-Low Method

1. Compute:
a. the variable cost per unit
b. the total fixed costs

2. Compute for the total costs if the production is 7,800 units will be produced
Solution:

1.A
CHV – CLV 15,500 – 8,500
VCU = ------------------------- VCU = ------------------------
HV – LV 9,000 – 3,000

7,000
VCU = ---------- VCU = 1.1666…
6,000

1.B
FC = 15,500 – (9,000 * 1.1666…) FC = 8,500 – (3,000 *
1.1666…)
FC = 15,500 – 10,500 FC = 8,500 – 3,500
FC = 5,000 FC = 5,000

2.
TC = FC + VC
TC = FC + (V * VCU)
TC = 5,000 + (7,800 * 1.1666…)
TC = 5,000 + 9,100
TC = 14,100
Least Square Method

The formulas that are to be use in this solution are the linear equation formula.

Equation 1: Y = a + bx
Equation 2: ∑y = na + b∑x
Equation 3: ∑xy = ∑xa + b∑x2

Where:
Y = Total costs
n = number of given data
a = Fixed costs
b = Variable costs per unit
x = Level of activity
y = costs per level of activity

Equation 2: ∑y = na + b∑x
Equation 3: ∑xy = ∑xa + b∑x2

Equation 2: 94,500 = 8a + b(46,250)


Equation 3: 579,500,000 = 46,250a + b(298,312,500)

Multiply the least common multiple to eliminate “a” on both sides


Equation 2: 94,500 = 8a + b(46,250)
(5,781.25)
Equation 3: 579,500,000 = 46,250a + b(298,312,500)

Proceed to subtraction of the equation 2 and equation 3


546,328,125 = 46,250a + b(267,382,812.50)
- 579,500,000 = 46,250a + b(298,312,500)

a = 5,612.15

Using Equation 3:
579,500,000 = 46,250a + 1.0725(298,312,500)

46,250a = 579,500,000 - 319,938,055.18

46,250a = 259,561,944.82

a = 5,612.15
3. Using the Equation: Y = a +bx
Y = 5,612.15 + 7,800(1.0725)
Y = 5,612.15 + 8,365.50
Y = 13,977.65

Common Costs and Joint Costs


Common costs are costs that are employed in two or more department, operation,
accounting periods, services or commodities. This are cost that need allocation.

Example: Cost of depreciation of a building that are needed to be allocated to the


departments based on floor area that are used by that department accordingly.

Joint costs are costs that are apportioned to the products as these are product cost
of a process that produces more than one product and that the costs of the direct
materials, direct labor and factory overhead are incurred that are allocated to the
product at split-off point, which the product are already separable to each other. This
cost are not directly identifiable to any of the products, thus allocation is needed for
the products that are produced to absorb the cost of the production.

Capital Expenditure and Revenue Expenditures


Capital expenditures are expenditures of the company that will give benefits to more
than one(1) accounting periods. These costs are allocated to the different accounting
periods (e.g. depreciation, amortization and depletion)

Revenue expenditures are expenses that are charge directly to the current period
this is also the same with the term period costs.

Controllable Costs and Non-controllable Costs


Controllable costs are costs that can be manage by the managers that has power to
authorize the costs. E.g. Sales expenses and advertising costs are controllable costs

Non-controllable costs are those cost that cannot be managed or controlled by the
managers. E.g. Depreciation, amortization and depletion.

Cost Necessary for Planning, Control and Analytical Processes


Standard Costs are costs of direct materials, direct labor and factory overhead that
are predetermined and established by the organization for a product from the
accumulated past experiences and date from research studies. This is the benchmark
of management by accountant for budgetary cotrol system.

Opportunity Costs are costs of the alternative that are given up. Example beow:
Alternative 1. You are going to buy fone and load a prepaid worth P/ 15,000 and P/
600 load per month.
Alternative 2. You are going to get a plan from a telecom company P/ 500.00 per
month for 2 years.

Therefore, if you chose to Alternative 2 then the benefit of the Alternative 1 is


considered as opportunity costs.
Differential Costs are cost that are called incremental or decremental costs that are
present in both alternatives. Changes of the costs are employs the revenue and cost
that are called marginal cost and marginal revenue. This maybe variable or fixed.

Example:

PARTICULARS Proposed Actual DIFFERENCE


Revenue 1,350,000 980,000 370,000
Cost of Goods Sold 650,000 420,000 230,000
Advertising 60,000 90,000 (30,000)
Commission 10,000 45,000 (35,000)
Warehouse Depreciation 100,000 85,000 15,000
Other Expenses 90,000 90,000 -
Total Expenses 910,000 730,000 180,000
Net Income 440,000 250,000 190,000

Relevant Costs are future costs that are changing across the alternatives. All the cost
in the table above except other expenses are considered relevant costs.
Out-of-Pocket Costs are cost that require payment of money or this are cost that are
petty in nature.

Example: The employee will pay fare for the taxi P/ 90.00, then, this cost is considered
as pocket cost as this cost should be paid in cash.

Sunk Costs are costs that are historical and cannot be change anymore.

Example: The company purchase machine P/ 200,000 for special purpose. The P/
200,000 is the outlay and cannot be change therefore this is sunk costs.
