MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING The Functions of Management
Accountants

• The notes for this chapter are broken down into
  the four functions that Management Accountants
  perform. They
• Determine which costs are involved in
  manufacturing, and report them in the financial
  statements.
• Establish the cost of manufactured items (for
  controlling, reporting, and for setting selling
  price-levels)
• Provide information on where and why costs are
  changing (for decision making purposes).
• Evaluate cost behaviour in a company as
  production levels change (i.e. Economies of
  Scale).

   manufacturing, and report them in the Financial
   Statements.

7

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Determine which costs are involved in
  manufacturing

• Direct Materials Raw materials that can be
  physically and conveniently associated with the
  finished product during the manufacturing
  process.
• Those that cannot be easily associated become
  part of overhead.

• Direct Labour The work of factory employees that
  can be physically and conveniently associated
  with converting raw materials into finished
  goods.
• Labour that cannot be easily associated with the
  production process becomes part of overhead

8

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Determine which costs are involved in
  manufacturing

• Overhead Consists of costs that are indirectly
  associated with the manufacture of the finished
  product.
• Manufacturing overhead includes
• Indirect materials
• Indirect labour
• Amortization on factory buildings and machinery
  and
• Insurance, taxes, and maintenance on factory
  facilities.

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Determine which costs are involved in
  manufacturing

• Cost Flow in a Manufacturing Business
• So now we know what is involved in the cost of
  manufactured products. (DM, DL, OH)
• The next thing we have to look at is how these
  Manufacturing Costs flow from the Balance Sheet
  (as inventory items) to the Income Statement (as
  Cost of Goods Sold).
• Well then look at how this Flow is shown on
  the financial statements.

11

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Determine which costs are involved in
  manufacturing

What is the Cost of Goods Sold?

• Recall the COGS for a Merchandise Business
• The cost of buying (and having shipped in) the
  items that were sold to customers.

Beginning Inventory
Ending Inventory
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Net Purchases
Cost of Goods Available for Sale

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Determine which costs are involved in
  manufacturing

What is the Cost of Goods Sold?

• The COGS for a Manufacturing Business
• COGS is still the cost of the items sold to
  customers. However, since WE make the products,
  COGS must include all Manufacturing Costs.
• The first thing you must realise, is that
  manufacturing businesses have three inventories
• Goods (and costs) move from one inventory to the
  other during the manufacturing process.
• (Incidentally, each of the three is valued
  according to FIFO, LIFO, or Average Cost too)!

Direct Labour (DL) and Overhead (OH) are added
here. (Also known as conversion costs)

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Establish the Costs of Manufactured Items

• One of the most important jobs of management
  accounting is determining the cost of a product.
• Think about it if you dont know how much it
  costs, you cant do any of the following
• Determine a selling price that will cover all
  costs
• Decide how low a sales price or volume discount
  you can offer
• Determine how to control costs (ex finding which
  materials are driving cost the most, etc.)
• The list goes on and on

21

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Establish the Costs of Manufactured Items

Activity Based Costing

• A popular method for determining cost is ABC
  Costing.
• The hardest part of finding the cost of a product
  is assigning overhead costs in a reliable and
  meaningful way.
• ABC Costing applies overhead based on those
  things that actually drive costs (called cost
  drivers)
• For example, if a product requires a lot of
  machining, machine hours will drive costs.
• So you find overhead/machine hour, and apply
  costs based on how many machine hours a product
  uses.

22

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Establish the Costs of Manufactured Items

Activity Based Costing

• The steps are as follows
• Find all costs (DM, DL, OH)
• Determine the Overhead Cost/Driver
• To do this, first find the quantity of each
  driver (i.e. number of machine hours used in
  the period)
• Then find the all the costs of running the
  factory machines during the period (including
  Amortization)
• Then divide to find the Overhead Cost/Driver
• Apply the Overhead Cost/Driver rate to each
  product, for each driver.

23

  of Widgets Generic, and Deluxe

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Establish the Costs of Manufactured Items

• How do you use this information?
• Pricing products
• Cant set appropriate price without knowing
  product cost
• Determining Contribution Margin
• Once you know cost, you can determine the
  Contribution Margin each product will make to
  gross profit

• Break-even Analysis
• Knowing the contribution margin per product sold
  will allow you to calculate how many units you
  need to sell to cover non-product costs (i.e.
  operating costs) and break even.

• Set Budgets and Monitor for variance
• Once you know cost info, you can predict sales,
  costs and then monitor regularly for variance.
  This allows you to identify and control problems
  in a business.

BEP is when Operating Costs (X)a(Ma) b(Mb)
c(Mc) Where a is total of all units sold
that are product A,
Ma is the contribution
margin per unit of product A, and

X is the total number of units
sold of ALL types.
BEP Operating Costs / Contribution Margin per
Item

Budget Variance Analysis

• Once you've determined products costs and set
  budgets, the management accountants role is to
  analyze why actual costs differ from budgeted
  costs (and they always do).
• This is important information for managers to
  have
• They need it in order to determine why costs are
  rising or falling
• This enables them to isolate any problems, and
  deal with them if possible.
• This is the purpose of completing a Budget
  Variance Analysis to find problems.

31

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Provide Information on Where and Why Costs are
  Changing

Budget Variance Analysis

• Consider the cost data from the previous ABC
  Costing example (just for Deluxe Widgets).
• Our budgets predicted the following

Deluxe Widgets to be made
5,000
3,000
Direct Materials (24 per Widget)
120,000
105,000
If actual costs turned out to be 105,000 what
would that tell you?
How about now?
32

• MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
• Provide Information on Where and Why Costs are
  Changing

Budget Variance Analysis

• The fact is you have absolutely no idea what the
  number 105,000 tells you.
• That isnt enough to isolate what caused the
  variance and solve the problem (if there even is
  one).
• To do this, you require the following info
• Production volume
• Efficiency Units of input per unit of output
  (i.e. how much material per widget made)
• Cost of a unit of input

33
This variance is due to the fact that the actual
volume of widgets produced was less than what was
planed.
This variance results from using more material
for the actual production volume than what the
budget allows for.
This variance is due to a change in the budgeted
price paid for the actual quantities used.
