Direct labor and manufacturing overhead are combined to call conversion costs, which means we assume they both enter the process at the same time. We create a production cost report to understand the key activities and each department's quantity and cost data. This is very important for analysis, improvements, pricing!

Variable costing is consistent with the cost-volume-profit materials presented in chapters 18 and 19. Production costs are applied to products / services, but the two methods differ on the treatment of fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are expensed during the period in which they are incurred in variable costing, whereas, for absorption costing, they are expensed when the product is sold. The highlights below from the chapter exemplify the differences. View Discussion Dashboard 14 To Do ???

Managerial Accounting

Chapter 16: Process Costing

I agree with the definition of process costing, which focuses on homogeneous products. The examples are also clear and easy to relate to in real life. From my research, I also noted the differences and similarities on the Wileyplus. There is little confusion on the units to be accounted for. I wish I could get further or profound clarification on it. The formula for the equivalent units was clear and applicable in the related problems. One the production cost, I have one question; What are the production cost report elements? Can we have one example of the production cost report? I think the notes should also have been composed of the advantages and the disadvantages of the process costing, simply its importance to companies.

Chapter 17; Activity-Based Costing

The formulae on the chapter were explicit and vital in working out some of the problems that related to the chapter. Using the formulae, I was able to work out some of the issues from the chapter. Opening income and plant-wide overhead rate were the easiest in terms of application. The percentage difference in operating income was the most challenging formula, but I managed to apply it from the other replies. I am requesting if I can get further clarification on the activity overhead rate formula. Is there another simple formula we can use instead of this? I would also like to know the difference between traditional costing and activity-based costing. The mathematical explanation employed was impressive but could have hired a little more theoretical basis. Anyway, the chapter was unique and good in terms of approach.

Chapter 18: Cost-Volume-Profit

Chapter 18 focuses on the recap of some formulae, such as the variable cost per unit and contribution margin per unit formulae. The chapter also provides the net income formulae that are clear and dependent on the fixed costs and the contribution margin per unit.  The target net income was also workable given the required sales in units. I just the use of this formula in the calculation of the net income:

Net income= revenue – the cost of goods sold- expenses

which will be more applicable to working out problems from a different company. Most of the companies do not provide more information on fixed costs and the contribution margin per unit. Is it a must we use the currency in dollars, or can we use the other dominations?

Chapter 19: Cost- Volume- Profit Analysis Additional Issues

The effects of the changes in costs and volume on any company are significant in profit planning. They are essential in the determination of the product mix. The weighted average contribution margin formula provides the unit contribution, sales mix percentage, contribution margin, and percentage. The break-even formulae are also well elaborated. I worked on different profit analysis problems is much simpler. Marvelous, the mathematical explanation was clear and precise.

Chapter 20; Incremental Analysis

Differential analysis or incremental analysis is the procedure that is usually used to identify the financial information that changes under alternative coarse. The incremental analysis is generally examined in revenues, costs, and profits to create a complete statement for each alternative. The screenshots provided were clear and visible, giving different formats such as accepting an order at a special price and eliminating an unprofitable segment or product.  The explanation could have been more straightforward if the formulae for the net income was written mathematically, for instance:

net income = revenue – expenses/costs

Chapter 21: Pricing

The act in which the value of the product or service is noted or established is called pricing; in most cases, pricing happens when a business has made up a choice that customer must pay for the product or service. One of the questions that were asked was on the factors that affect pricing. These factors include objectives, what the company wants to achieve, costs, demand, and competition. The second question was, what do Price takers mean? In accounting, it simply means market participants that cannot identify the different prices in the market. Target costing, cost-plus pricing, time and material pricing, and internal sales were methods companies typically use to set market prices. The chapter was clear. I want further explanation on the factors that affect pricing and under what business environment?

Chapter 22:  Budgetary Planning

In my opinion, this was the most challenging chapter. A budget is a financial plan for a specified period, in most cases, one year. It is composed of the planned sales volumes and revenues, resources qualities, and other expenses. The notes explained the two types of budgets: the operating budget, which comprises sales, production: purchases, direct material budget, and the professional labour budget. The second type of budget is the cash budget capital budget and the budget balance sheets.  What is the difference between the two budgets in terms of definition, structure, and use?

Chapter 23: Budgetary Control and Planning

The definition of ‘budgetary control’ applies the budgets: the operating and financial budgets as seen in the earlier chapter to control operations. The chapter also explains static budget is a projection of budget data at one of the activity levels.  I also agree that budgets may differ in the different activities. Any person or the management level is indeed accountable for actions with the three basic types of responsibility. The chapter should elaborate more on the different activity levels and their goals; the notes are unclear.

Chapter 24: Standards Costs and Balance Sheets

The budgeted and the standard have similar characteristics such as predetermined costs; both contribute to planning and control and are standard in the amount unit.  There are several unique formulae for calculating marketing price variance, materials quality variance, and total materials variance. I found the formula applicable in working on several account mathematics problems. Would like to know the different perspectives of the balanced scorecards? What are the items which appear under different types of flat sheets?

The two questions will enlarge my knowledge on the standards costa and the balance sheets. The two will create a background to work out various mathematical problems.

Chapter 25: Planning for Capital Investments

This is one of the chapters that are fundamental to managerial accounting.  The cash payback method is a capital investment evaluation process that considers the payback time and the cash flow.  Indeed, the cash inflows are customarily discounted to their present value and compared to the current value. The chapter was enjoyable and interactive since it involved some mathematical problems as well as the theory part. The present value of 1 and the present value of an annuity were well defined, and the difference was notable. I want more explanation on the difference between the internal rate of return method and the annual rate of return method.
