2) Direct Labor 3) Manufacturing Overhead |
|
Direct Materials consist of these two things
|
1) Raw Materials
2) Indirect Materials |

|
|
Indirect labor can be defined as
|
Labor costs that cannot be physically traced to the creation of products

|
|
The matching principle says
|
Costs incurred to generate a revenue should be recognized as expenses in the same period that the revenue is recognized
|
|
Product costs are
|
All costs involved in acquiring of making a product... also includes costs related to the factory
|
|
Period costs are
|
All costs that are not product costs... mostly selling and administrative expenses
|
|
Prime cost is
|
Direct materials + direct Labor cost
|
|
The conversion cost is
|
Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead costs
|
|
The three classes of inventory on a manufacturing company's balance sheet are
|
Raw Materials, Work in Process, Finished goods
|
|
The manufacturing costs associated with goods that were finished during the period is known as the
|
Cost of goods manufactured
|
|
The equation for COGM is
|
Beginning WIP
+ Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead = Total Manufacturing costs - Ending WIP |
|
The equation for COGS is
|
Beginning inventory of final goods
+COGM = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory of final goods |
|
The equation for Direct materials is
|
Beginning raw materials inventory
+ Purchases of raw materials = Raw materials available for use - Ending raw materials inventory = Raw Materials used in production |
|
Selling and administrative costs are what type of costs?
|
Period costs
|
|
A cost that varies in direct proportion to changes in the level of activity is a
|
Variable cost
|
|
Variable costs are _______ when expressed on a per-unit basis
|
Constant
|
|
A cost that remains constant, in total, regardless of changes in the level of activity is a
|
Fixed cost
|
|
The difference in costs between any two alternatives is a
|
Differential cost
|
|
The cost involved in producing one more unit of product is the
|
Marginal cost
|
|
An opportunity cost is
|
The potential benefit that is given up when one alternative is selected over another
|
|
A cost that has already been incurred and cannot be changed by any decision made in the future is a
|
Sunk cost
|
|
If actual M.O. costs > applied M.O. costs, then overhead is
|
Underapplied
|
|
If actual M.O. costs < applied M.O. costs, then overhead is
|
Overapplied
|
|
If M.O. costs are overapplied, we must
|
Reduce WIP, Finished goods, and COGS
|
|
If M.O. costs are underapplied, we must
|
Increase WIP, finished goods, and COGS
|
|
In situations where a company produces many units of a single product for long periods of time, __________ costing is used
|
Process
|
|
Job order costing is used when
|
Many different products are produced each period
|
|
The predetermined overhead rate is used to
|
Apply M.O. costs
|
|
The equation for POHR is
|
Estimated Total Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Estimated Total Amount of the Allocation Base
|
|
Overhead applied =
|
POHR x Amount actually used by the job
|
|
Materials in the WIP account are classified as
|
Direct Materials
|
|
True variable costs are those that
|
Vary in direct proportion to the level of activity
|
|
Step variable costs are those that
|
Are obtainable only in large chunks, and increase/decrease in response to wide changes in activity
|
|
The break-even point is when Net income equals
|
Zero
|
|
Contribution costs are what type of costs?
|
Fixed Costs
|
|
The basic equation for the break-even point is
|
Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
|
|
To find the break even point in sales dollars, what denominator should be used?
|
Contribution margin ratio
|
|
Fixed costs _______ on a per-unit basis as the activity level ________
|
Decreases/Increases
|
|
Commited fixed costs are
|
Costs that cannot be significantly reduced/eliminated, even for short periods of time
|
|
Discretionary fixed costs are
|
Costs that are typically short-term and can be cut for short periods of time
|
|
Labor is what type of cost?
|
Variable
|
|
A mixed cost is represented by what equation?
|
Y = a +bx
total mixed cost = (total fixed cost) + (variable cost x level of activity) |
|
The minimum cost of providing a service is the
|
Fixed portion of a mixed cost
|
|
The high-low method of finding the variable cost portion of a mixed cost uses this equation:
|
