Managerial Cost Concepts
Managers should ask questions such as the following.
1. What costs are involved in making a product or
providing a service?
2. If we decrease production volume, will costs
decrease?
3. What impact will automation have on total costs?
4. How can we best control costs?

Manufacturing Costs
Manufacturing consists of activities and processes
that convert raw materials into finished goods.
Direct Materials Direct Labor
Manufacturing
Overhead
Manufacturing Costs
Direct Materials
Direct Materials
Raw Materials
Basic materials and parts used in manufacturing
process
Raw materials that can be physically and directly
associated with finished product during the
manufacturing process are direct materials

Manufacturing Costs
Indirect Materials have one of two characteristics
1. Not physically part of finished product or
2. they are an impractical to trace to the finished
product because their physical association with
the finished product is too small in terms of cost.
Considered part of manufacturing overhead

Manufacturing Costs
Direct Labor
Direct Labor
Work of factory employees that
can be physically and directly associated with
converting raw materials into finished goods.
Indirect Labor
a. Work of factory employees that has no physical
association with finished product or
b. which is impractical to trace costs to goods produced.

Manufacturing Costs
Manufacturing Overhead
a. Costs that are indirectly associated with manufacturing
the finished product (see Alternative Terminology).
b. Includes all manufacturing costs except direct materials
and direct labor.
c. Also called factory overhead,
indirect manufacturing costs,
or burden. Manufacturing

Product Versus Period Costs
Product Costs
 Direct materials
a. Components:  Direct labor
 Manufacturing overhead
b. Costs that are an integral part of producing the
product (see Alternative Terminology).
c. Recorded in “inventory” account
d. Not an expense (COGS) until goods are sold

Period Costs
a. Charged to expense as incurred
b. Non-manufacturing costs
c. Includes all selling and administrative expenses

Company Accounting Today
Service Industries
Much of the global economy has shifted toward an
emphasis on providing services rather than
goods.
Most techniques learned for manufacturing firms
are applicable to service companies

Focus on the Value Chain
Refers to all business processes associated with
providing a product or service
For a manufacturing firm these include the following:
Research & Acquisition of Production Sales and Delivery Customer

development raw materials marketing relations and
and product subsequent
design services
ILLUSTRATION 19.12
A manufacturer’s value chain

Just-In-Time (JIT) Inventory Methods
Inventory system in which goods are manufactured
or purchased just in time for sale
Total Quality Management (TQM)
Reduce defects in finished products, with goal of
zero defects

Theory of Constraints
Constraints (“bottlenecks” ) limit company’s
potential profitability.
A specific approach to identify and manage these
constraints in order to achieve company goals.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Software programs designed to manage all major
business processes.

Activity-Based Costing (ABC)
Allocates overhead based on use of activities
Results in more accurate product costing and
scrutiny of all activities in value chain

Balanced Scorecard
Evaluates operations in an integrated fashion.
Uses both financial and non-financial measures.
Links performance to overall company objectives.

Business Ethics
All employees are expected to act ethically.
Many organizations have codes of business ethics.
Creating Proper Incentives

Systems and controls sometimes create incentives for
managers to take unethical actions.
Controls need to be effective and realistic.

Business Ethics
Code of Ethical Standards
Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)
Clarifies management’s responsibilities.
Requires certifications by CEO and CFO.
Selection criteria for Board of Directors and Audit
Committee.
Substantially increased penalties for misconduct.

Company Social Responsibility
Considers a company’s efforts to employ sustainable
business practices
Sometimes referred to as triple bottom line because it
evaluates a company’s performance with regard to
people, planet, and profit
Recent reports indicate that over 50% of the 500 largest
U.S. companies provide sustainability reports
