CHAPTER 1 f




MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING f




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES f f



1. Identify the features of managerial accounting and the functions of management. The
f f f f f f f f f f f


primary users of managerial accounting reports, issued as frequently as needed, are internal
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


users, who are officers, department heads, managers, and supervisors in the company. The
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


purpose of these reports is to provide special-purpose information for a particular user for a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


specific decision. The content of managerial accounting reports pertains to subunits of the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


business. It may be very detailed, and may extend beyond the accrual accounting system. The
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


reporting standard is relevance to the decision being made. No independent audits are
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


required in managerial accounting.
f f f f


The functions of management are planning, directing, and controlling. Planning requires
f f f f f f f f f f


management to look ahead and to establish objectives. Directing involves coordinating the
f f f f f f f f f f f f


diverse activities and human resources of a company to produce a smooth-running operation.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


Controlling is the process of keeping the activities on track.
f f f f f f f f f f



2. Describe the classes of manufacturing costs and the differences between product and
f f f f f f f f f f f


period costs. Manufacturing costs are typically classified as either (1) direct materials, (2)
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


direct labor, or (3) manufacturing overhead. Raw materials that can be physically and directly
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


associated with the finished product during the manufacturing process are called direct
f f f f f f f f f f f f


materials. The work of factory employees that can be physically and directly associated with
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


converting raw materials into finished goods is considered direct labor. Manufacturing
f f f f f f f f f f f


overhead consists of costs that are indirectly associated with the manufacture of the finished
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


product. Manufacturing costs are typically incurred at the manufacturing facility.
f f f f f f f f f f



Product costs are costs that are a necessary and integral part of producing the finished product.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


Product costs are also called inventoriable costs. These costs do not become expenses until
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


the company sells the finished goods inventory.
f f f f f f f



Period costs are costs that are identified with a specific time period rather than with a salable
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


product. These costs relate to nonmanufacturing costs and therefore are not inventoriable
f f f f f f f f f f f f


costs. They are expensed as incurred.
f f f f f f



3. Demonstrate how to compute cost of goods manufactured and prepare financial f f f f f f f f f f


statements for a manufacturer. Companies add the cost of the beginning work in process
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


inventory to the total manufacturing costs for the current year to arrive at the total cost of work
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


in process for the year. They then subtract the ending work in process inventory from the total
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


cost of work in process to arrive at the cost of goods manufactured.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f



The difference between a merchandising and a manufacturing balance sheet is in the current
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


assets section. The current assets section of a manufacturing company's balance
f f f f f f f f f f f


fsheet

,12-2 Test Bank for Managerial Accounting, Tenth
Edition
presents three inventory accounts: finished goods inventory, work in process inventory, and
f f f f f f f f f f f


raw materials inventory.
f f f



The difference between a merchandising and a manufacturing income statement is in the cost
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


of goods sold section. A manufacturing cost of goods sold section shows beginning and ending
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


finished goods inventories and the cost of goods manufactured.
f f f f f f f f f


4 Discuss trends in managerial accounting. Managerial accounting has experienced many
f f f f f f f f f f


changes in recent years, including a shift toward service companies as well as emphasis on
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


ethical behavior. Improved practices include a focus on managing the value chain through
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


techniques such as just-in-time inventory, total quality management, activity-based costing, and
f f f f f f f f f f f


theory of constraints. The balanced scorecard is now used by many companies in order to
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


attain a more comprehensive view of the company's operations, and companies are now
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


evaluating their performance with regard to their corporate social responsibility. Finally, data
f f f f f f f f f f f f


analytics and data visualizations are important tools that help businesses identify problems and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


opportunities, and then make informed decisions
f f f f f f
