Cost of goods sold

physical stores, customer troubles associated with online shopping, such as long shipping time, product returns due to wrong size, etc. are eliminated. For Ross, online stores would not be a good option. Michael O’Sullivan, the president and chief operating officer of Ross Stores, states that Ross operates within the moderate off-price space (Bailey, 2015). Also according to O’Sullivan, the average retail price of an item at Ross is normally around $10; there are not much merchandise of Ross whose price is higher than $20 (Bailey, 2015). Posting such a low-priced item on an e-commerce platform does not seem like a fruitful premise for Ross. For example, in the case of an average price around $10, O’Sullivan states if the company is left with the gross margin of $4 or $5 after removing the cost of goods sold, from the selling price, that gross margin would still be deducted from other costs, such as shipping costs, processing costs, and costs associated with product returns (Bailey, 2015). Additionally, Ross’s discount-apparel business originally buys merchandise in relatively small lot sizes (Bailey, 2015). Generating a variety of models in an online environment in which a particular item does not vary in size would be really complicated and not sufficient for Ross. Ross products can only be sold if the customers are able to find them on rack/shelf. The retailer operates five distribution processing facilities: two in California, two in South Carolina, and one in…

Job costing is a system that assigns manufacturing costs to a product or batches of products. This system is used when the end products are different from each other. The job cost companies will allocate the direct materials and direct labor actually used plus the manufacturing overhead to each job. The job costing is very popular not only in manufacturing, but also in service (accounting practices, law firms, etc) and builders and construction contractors. Job costing involves the following…

variable cost is $1 per flange for materials, and $2 per flange ($20 per hour divided by 10 flanges per hour) for direct manufacturing labor. 2. The inventoriable (manufacturing) cost per unit for 5,000 flanges is $3 × 5,000 + $20,000 = $35,000. Average (unit) cost = $35,000 ÷ 5,000 units = $7 per unit. This is below Fred’s selling price of $8.25 per flange. However, in order to make a profit, Graham’s Glassworks also needs to cover the period (non-manufacturing) costs of…

levels, which is why it is a good performance evaluation tool and useful for any planning. Just like its good odds the flexible budget has its disadvantages as well. It may be a good tool but difficult to formulate, because there are several costs that are not entirely variable. Therefore, it will be necessary to take into account those fixed cost components that must be calculated and then included in the flexible budget formula. The flexible budget generally works best in a relatively small…
