What are the six main purposes of a budget
Planning, coordinating, communicating, controlling, motivating and evaluating
What is capital employed
Assets - liabilities
What is process costing
Total cost/ number of products, to use when all products are the same

Four reasons why knowing costs is useful
Pricing, Decision making, Efficiency and Valuing the inventory
What is the difference between direct and indirect costs
Direct costs can specifically and exclusively be identified with a given cost object while indirect costs cannot. F.ex direct costs would be the cost of a lid on a jar while an indirect cost could be the cost to transport a batch of jars to the store.

Overhead
What is prime cost a sum of
Direct material and labor cost
What is total manufacturing cost a sum of
Manufacturing overhead and prime cost

Total manufacturing cost and non manufacturing overhead
What are ABC systems
Absorption based costing systems that allocate overhead to individual cost objects in addition to the direct costs in contrast to direct costing systems that only allocate the direct costs to the cost objects.
What is contribution margin
sales revenue - variable cost
Where is the break even point
Fixed costs = contribution margin & sales revenue = total cost
What is the margin of safety in units and money
In money: sales revenue - break even; In units: units sold - break even in units
Is an increase in account receivables recorded on the income statement
No becouse the revenue is not yet recognised
Why is ROCE better than ROA for mananging managers
CE is more suitable for evaluating managers, since it gives them credit for contributing to finances by working actively with good payment terms from suppliers?
What is the return in ROA
Operating income + financial revenue
If you are given the budget for a year and balance sheet from the past with diferent asset values what is the assets value to use when calculating ROA
The average

past inventory - present inventory
How are changes in operating recivables calculated in the cashflow budget
past current recievables - present current recievables
How are changes in operating liabilities calculated in the cashflow budget

A positive change in loans means a negative cashflow
False, taking out more loans means you get more money right now
