Mngerial Acct Exam 1 Flashcards
Characteristics of job order systems
- Custom/unique jobs
- Heterogenour products
- low production volume
- measres cose per unit upon completion of the job
- cost object is to the specific job
Char of process systems
- Individual process
- makes single product on consistent basis
- homogenour product
- High production volume
- low product flexibility
- Cost object is the process
number of units that could have been started and completed given the costs incurred during the perido
EUP
Producing products of providing services individually designed to meet the needs of a specific customer
job order production
the production activities for a customized product
job
Involves producing more than one unit of a unique product
job lot
What is the flow of costs
- Manufac costs flow through inventory accts (RM, WIP, FIn good) until the goods are sold
- While the job is being produced, costs are accumulated in WIP inv
- When the goods are completed, accum costs are transferred from WIP to fin good inv
- WHen the fin good are delivered to the cust, the accumulated costs are transferred from fin goods inv to COGS
A system that records manufacturing costs
cost acct system
The expected selling price of a job minus its desired profit
target cost
production of more than one unt of a custom product
job lot
production activities for a custommized product
job
production of products in response to cust orders
job order production
Shows the amount of time an employee works on a hob
time ticket
accumulates the cost of incurred overhead and the overhead cost assigned to specific jobs
FOH account
Perpetual inventory record of raw materials recieved, used, and available for us
Material ledger card
Shows amt approved for pmt of an overhead or other cost
Voucher
Communivates the need for materials to complete the job
materials requisition
Financial vs Managerial acct
Fin- investors, creditos (external to the org), assist eexternal users in making investments, only available after complete audit, focus on historical info, emphasis on whol org, only monetary info
Mng- managers, employess (internal org), make plans and control decisions, very flexible, available quickly w/out waiting for audit, projections and estimates, emphasis on subdivisions, projects, mostly monetary but also some nonmonetary
A cost that does not change in total with changes in the volume of an activity; does not change with use
fixed cost (office depr)
A cost that changes in total in proportion to changes in volume of an activity; cost that changes with use
variable cost
Expenses that directly go into producing goods/services
direct costs
materia, labor, manufacturing supplies
Those that cannot be readily and economically traced to an object
indirect costs
oil, grease, glue
rent, utilities
Expenditures necessary and integral to finished products. Include DM, DL, and FOH
product costs
balance sheet (COGS)- income statemnt
produced in factory
Expenditures identifies more with a time period than finished products
period costs
income statement
selling and general admin expenses
in office
Tangible componenets of a finished product; expenditures that are deperately and readily traced to the fin good
direct materials
Efforts of employees who physically convert materials into fin products
direct labor
Consists of all manfacturing costs that are not direct materails or direct labor
FOH
What are prime costs?
DM DL
What are conversion costs?
DL and FOH
How does a merchandiser compute COGS?
Beg merch inv + cost of goods purchased = COG available for sale -ending fin good inv = COGS
How does a manufacturer compute COGS?
Beg fin good inv \+COGM =COG available for sale -ending fin good inventory = COGS
How do u calc dm?
Beg raw materials \+purchases =Total raw materials -raw materials inventory = DM
How do u calc COGM
DM \+DL \+FOH =total manufacturing costs \+Beg WIP =total WIP inventory -end WIP inventory =COGM
