Review for MAS Comprehensive Exam

2nd Semester, AY 2022-2023

Topics coverage:
1) Job Order Costing
2) Differential cost analysis, and Decision-making
3) Accounting for Quality Costs

Note: The business may also opt to include the amount to be billed to the customer.
Relevant costs are future costs that differ from one alternative to the other. So, if a cost will
not change, it is no longer included in the analysis.

Differential analysis is used when there are more than one alternative courses of actions for
a problem. There is no decision to make when there is only one solution to a problem.
Decision-making could involve short-term, non-routine, or long-term (strategic) decisions.
The basic rule is to take the action that will give the business the highest income or the lowest
loss.
