Q

Staples when manufacturing chairs was treated as indirect

A

Explain was although could prob be identified with specific chair (making them direct) … the cost is insignificant and the expense of tracing does not usually justify the possible benefit from calculating more accurate direct costs.

Staples would therefore be treated as indirect to be included as part of OAR

(In the question the other multiple choice options were all more obviously Direct costs)

Q

Characteristics of Service costing..

A

Difficult to identify many attributable direct costs.
Many costs must be treated as indirect and shared over several cost units therefore:

High levels of indirect costs as a proportion of total costs.

Cost units are intangible (eg haircut)

Use of composite cost units (passenger-mile ; bed-night)

A

MoS / budgeted units

22
Q

If you wish to make £x profit , how to calculate number of units?

A

Work out the contribution p/u.

Divide the desired profit by the contribution p/u

ADD that to the Break even units!!!! (Ie fixed costs/contribution p/u)

Or add the Fixed OHs and desired profit and divide that by CPU

23
Q

A

.

26
Q

When allocating/apportioning costs to production departments watch out for what trick?

A

Being given something in the cost ‘label’ that overrides the obvious way of apportioning in the info..

Eg. “Supervisor wage - dept A” as a label…
.. but then given info that hours are split between dept A and B.

Must pay attention to label and allocate whole amount to dept A, ignoring the red herring info given ..

27
Q

Don’t be thrown by question about diff in profit between absorption & marginal

If given OI and CI you know the number of units.
And given the OAR for the fixed OHs you can work out the DIFF in profit..
(OI-CI)*OAR

A

.
