Obtain information
Make predictions about the future
Make decisions by choosing among alternatives
Implement the decision, evaluate performance, and learn
Two types of costs:
Actual cost: cost that has been incurred (past cost).
Budgeted cost: forecasted/predicted cost
Costs are direct or indirect. Using cost assignment, you assign the costs to the objects.
Cost accumulation is the collection of data on costs in an accounting system.
Reducing fixed costs requires active intervention on the part of managers, while variable
costs decrease when output decreases.
A cost driver is the cause of a change in the costs. For variable costs, this often is the amount
produced. Fixed costs don’t have a short-run cost driver.
A relevant range is a range, for example the range of the output produced in which the fixed
costs stay the same. Also the variable costs can change when the output produced changes.
So now there are four types of costs, let’s give examples using one specific Tesla Car as cost
object:
Direct variable costs: Tires used in assembly of the automobile
Indirect variable costs: Power costs at the Tesla Factory
Direct fixed costs: Salary of the supervisor on the specific Tesla model.
Indirect fixed costs: Annual depreciation costs for the Tesla Factory.
Three economy sectors:
Manufacturing-sector: purchasing materials and components and convert them into
finished goods Toyota, Samsung, Heinz, Lenovo. Those companies have three
types of inventory: direct materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and
finished goods inventory.
, Merchandising-sector: purchasing and then sell products without changing their basic
form retail, distribution
Service-sector: providing services law, accounting, banks, insurers, transport,
advertising, television stations, internet service providers, travel agencies, healthcare
providers
Inventoriable costs = cost of goods sold from the moment the product is sold.
For manufacturing companies, all costs are inventoriable costs. First they are written as
work-in-process inventory assets, then as finished goods inventory assets. When the product
is sold it is no asset anymore, but an expense: the costs of goods sold.
Service sector companies have no inventoriable costs.
All the other costs in the income statement besides costs of goods sold are period costs (=
selling, general and administrative expenses = SG&A), such as design costs, marketing,
distribution, customer service. These are costs specific for the period, as managers expect
the costs to increase revenues in only that period, also like the labor cost of sales-floor
personnel. R&D is a difficult one, as innovation can be a long-term key driver of success, but
only in a few future periods. So they are considered to be period costs, as it’s uncertain how
successful it will be and difficult to determine in which future period you will benefit from it.
Gross margin = revenues – cost of goods sold
Operating income = gross margin – period costs
Contribution margin = total revenues – total variable costs
Per unit = selling price – variable cost per unit
Operating income = contribution margin – fixed costs
Contribution margin percentage = contribution margin / revenues
In manufacturing costing systems you have two types of costs:
Prime costs = direct material costs + direct manufacturing labor costs all direct
manufacturing costs
Conversion costs = direct manufacturing labor costs + manufacturing overhead costs
all manufacturing costs incurred to convert direct materials into finished goods
Direct manufacturing labor costs is in both the formulas, as it depends on how to monitor
workers’ roles and say whether the costs are direct or not.
Cost-plus agreement: a government contract based on the cost of a product plus a pre-
specified margin of profit, used when predicting the amount of money required to design,
fabricate, and test items is difficult.
Contribution income statement: a table showing revenues, variable costs, contribution
margin, fixed costs, and operating income, for different numbers of products sold.
There are three methods of showing Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis:
Equation method: calculating operating income =
revenues – variable costs – fixed costs
Contribution margin method: calculating operating income =
(contribution margin per unit * quantity of units sold) – fixed costs
