•
Financial accounting information is reported at fixed intervals
(monthly, quarterly, yearly) in general-purpose financial
statements.
o
o
These financial statements—the income statement, retained earnings
statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows—are prepared
according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
These statements are used by external users such as the following:
▪
▪
▪
▪
Shareholders
Creditors
Government agencies

Differences Between Managerial
and Financial Accounting (slide 3 of 4)
•
Managerial accounting information is designed to
meet the specific needs of a company’s
management.
o
This information includes the following:
▪ Historical data, which provide objective measures of past
operations
▪ Estimated data, which provide subjective estimates about future
decisions
o
Management uses both types of information in:
▪ Directing daily operations
▪ Planning future operations
▪ Developing business strategies

Differences Between Managerial
and Financial Accounting (slide 4 of 4)
•
Unlike the financial statements prepared in financial
accounting, managerial accounting reports do not always have
to be:
o
Prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP).
▪ This is because only the company’s management uses the information.
▪ Also, in many cases, GAAP are not relevant to the specific decision-making
needs of management.
o
Prepared at fixed intervals (monthly, quarterly, yearly).
▪ Although some management reports are prepared at fixed intervals, most
reports are prepared as management needs the information.
o
Prepared for the business as a whole.
▪ Most management reports are prepared for products, projects, sales
territories, or other segments of the company.

Planning
•
•
Management uses planning in developing the
company’s objectives (goals) and translating these
objectives into courses of action.
Planning may be classified as follows:
o
Strategic planning, which is developing long-term actions
to achieve the company’s objectives.
▪ These long-term courses of action are called strategies, which
often involve periods of 5 to 10 years.
o
Operational planning, which develops short-term actions
for managing the day-to-day operations of the company.

Directing
•
The process by which managers run day-to-day
operations is called directing.

Controlling
•
Monitoring operating results and comparing actual
results with the expected results is controlling.
o
•
This feedback allows management to isolate areas for
further investigation and possible remedial action.
The philosophy of controlling by comparing actual
and expected results is called management by
exception.

Improving
•
Continuous process improvement is the philosophy
of continually improving employees, business
processes, and products.
o
The objective of continuous process improvement is to
eliminate the source of problems in a process.
▪ In this way, the right products (services) are delivered in the right
quantities at the right time.

Decision Making
•
Inherent in each of the preceding management
processes is decision making.
o
In managing a company, management must continually
decide among alternative actions.

Uses of Managerial Accounting
•
Managerial accounting provides information and reports for
managers to use in operating the business.
o
o
o
o
o
Managerial accounting provides the cost of manufacturing a product,
which can be used to determine its selling price.
Managerial accounting allows for comparing the costs of
manufacturing products over time and can be used to monitor and
control the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.
Performance reports allow management to identify any large amounts
of scrap materials or employee downtime.
A report could analyze the potential efficiencies and dollar savings of
purchasing computerized equipment to speed up the production
process.
A report could analyze how many units need to be sold to cover
operating costs and expenses. Such information could be used to set
monthly selling targets and bonuses for sales personnel.

Direct and Indirect Costs
(slide 1 of 2)
•
A cost is a payment of cash or the commitment to
pay cash in the future for the purpose of generating
revenues.
o
In managerial accounting, costs are often classified
according to the decision-making needs of management.
▪ For example, costs are often classified by their relationship to a
segment of operations, called a cost object.
– A cost object may be a product, a sales territory, a department, or an
activity, such as research and development.
©2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Direct and Indirect Costs
(slide 2 of 2)
•
Costs identified with cost objects are either direct
costs or indirect costs.
o
Direct costs are identified with and can be traced to a cost
object.
▪ For example, the cost of wood used to make guitars is a direct
cost.
o
Indirect costs cannot be identified with or traced to a cost
object.
▪ For example, the salaries of production supervisors are indirect
costs of producing a guitar because their salaries cannot be
identified with or traced to any individual guitar.

Manufacturing Costs
•
•
•
The cost of a manufactured product includes the
cost of materials used in making the product.
In addition, the cost of a manufactured product
includes the cost of converting the materials into a
finished product.
Thus, the cost of a finished product includes:
o
o
o
Direct materials cost
Direct labor cost
Factory overhead cost

Direct Materials Cost
•
•
Manufactured products begin with raw materials that are
converted into finished products.
To be classified as a direct materials cost, the cost must be
both of the following:
o
o
An integral part of the finished product
A significant portion of the total cost of the product
• Examples of direct materials costs include the following:
o
o
o
o
The cost of the wood used in producing a guitar
The cost of electronic components for a television
Silicon wafers for microcomputer chips
Tires for an automobile

Direct Labor Cost
•
•
•
Most manufacturing processes use employees to convert
materials into finished products.
The cost of employee wages that is an integral part of the
finished product is classified as direct labor cost.
A direct labor cost must meet both of the following criteria:
o
o
•
An integral part of the finished product
A significant portion of the total cost of the product
Examples of direct labor costs include the following:
o
o
o
o
The wages of employees who cut guitars out of raw lumber and
assemble them
Mechanics’ wages for repairing an automobile
Machine operators’ wages for manufacturing tools
Assemblers’ wages for assembling a laptop computer

Factory Overhead Cost
(slide 1 of 2)
•
•
•
Costs other than direct materials cost and direct labor that are
incurred in the manufacturing process are combined and
classified as factory overhead cost (sometimes called
manufacturing overhead or factory burden).
All factory overhead costs are indirect costs of the product.
Some factory overhead costs include the following:
o
o
o
o
o
Heating and lighting the factory
Repairing and maintaining factory equipment
Property taxes on factory buildings and land
Insurance on factory buildings
Depreciation of factory plant and equipment
©2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Factory Overhead Cost
(slide 2 of 2)
•
Factory overhead cost also includes materials and
labor costs that do not enter directly into the
finished product.
o
•
Examples include the cost of oil used to lubricate
machinery and the wages of janitorial and supervisory
employees.
Also, if the costs of direct materials or direct labor
are not a significant portion of the total product cost,
these costs may be classified as factory overhead
costs.

Example Exercise
Direct Materials, Direct Labor,
and Factory Overhead
Identify the following costs as direct materials (DM),
direct labor (DL), or factory overhead (FO) for a
baseball glove manufacturer:
a. Leather used to make a baseball glove
b. Coolants for machines that sew baseball gloves
c. Wages of assembly line employees
d. Ink used to print a player’s autograph on a glove

Prime Costs and Conversion Costs
•
Direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead
costs may be grouped together for analysis and
reporting.
o
Two such common groupings are as follows:
▪ Prime costs, which consist of direct materials and direct labor
costs
▪ Conversion costs, which consist of direct labor and factory
overhead costs
– Conversion costs are the costs of converting the materials into a
finished product.
•
Direct labor is both a prime cost and a conversion
cost.

Product Costs and Period Costs
(slide 1 of 2)
•
For financial reporting purposes, costs are classified
as product costs or period costs.
o
o
Product costs consist of manufacturing costs: direct
materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.
Period costs consist of selling and administrative costs.
▪ Selling expenses are incurred in marketing the product and
delivering the product to the customer.
▪ Administrative expenses are incurred in managing the company
and are not directly related to the manufacturing or selling
functions.

Product Costs and Period Costs
(slide 2 of 2)
•
•
As product costs are incurred, they are recorded and
reported on the balance sheet as inventory. When
the inventory is sold, the cost of the manufactured
product sold is reported as cost of goods sold on the
income statement.
Period costs are reported as expenses on the income
statement in the period in which they are incurred,
and, thus, they never appear on the balance sheet.

Sustainability
•
Sustainability is the practice of operating a business
to maximize profits while attempting to preserve the
environment, economy, and needs of future
generations.
o
Sustainability practices acknowledge that a company’s
long-term success requires continued availability of
natural resources and a productive social environment.

Eco-Efficiency Measures in
Managerial Accounting (slide 1 of 2)
•
•
Sustainability information can provide important
feedback to guide a company’s strategic and
operational decision making.
Managers can use this information to:
o
o
o
increase revenue
control costs
allocate resources efficiently

Eco-Efficiency Measures in
Managerial Accounting (slide 2 of 2)
•
Eco-efficiency measures are a form of managerial
accounting information that helps managers
evaluate the savings generated by using fewer
natural resources in a company’s operations.
o
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)
was organized in 2011 to develop accounting standards
that help companies report decision-useful sustainability
information to external financial statement users.

Financial Statements for a
Manufacturing Business
•
•
The retained earnings and cash flow statements for a
manufacturing business are similar to those for
service and merchandising businesses.
However, the balance sheet and income statement
for a manufacturing business are more complex.
o
This is because a manufacturer makes the products that it
sells and, thus, must record and report product costs.
©2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Balance Sheet for a Manufacturing Business
•
•
A merchandising business reports only Merchandise Inventory
on its balance sheet.
In contrast, a manufacturing business reports three types of
inventory on its balance sheet as follows:
o
o
o
Materials inventory (sometimes called raw materials inventory)
consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have not
yet entered the manufacturing process.
Work in process inventory consists of the direct materials, direct
labor, and factory overhead costs for products that have entered the
manufacturing process, but are not yet completed (in process).
Finished goods inventory consists of completed (or finished) products
that have not been sold.

Financial accounting information is reported at fixed intervals
(monthly, quarterly, yearly) in general-purpose financial
statements.
o
o
These financial statements—the income statement, retained earnings
statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows—are prepared
according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
These statements are used by external users such as the following:

•
Unlike the financial statements prepared in financial
accounting, managerial accounting reports do not always have
to be:
o
Prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP).
▪ This is because only the company’s management uses the information.
▪ Also, in many cases, GAAP are not relevant to the specific decision-making
needs of management.
o
Prepared at fixed intervals (monthly, quarterly, yearly).
▪ Although some management reports are prepared at fixed intervals, most
reports are prepared as management needs the information.
o
Prepared for the business as a whole.
▪ Most management reports are prepared for products, projects, sales
territories, or other segments of the company.

Planning
•
•
Management uses planning in developing the
company’s objectives (goals) and translating these
objectives into courses of action.
Planning may be classified as follows:
o
Strategic planning, which is developing long-term actions
to achieve the company’s objectives.
▪ These long-term courses of action are called strategies, which
often involve periods of 5 to 10 years.
o
Operational planning, which develops short-term actions
for managing the day-to-day operations of the company.

Directing
•
The process by which managers run day-to-day
operations is called directing.

Controlling
•
Monitoring operating results and comparing actual
results with the expected results is controlling.
o
•
This feedback allows management to isolate areas for
further investigation and possible remedial action.
The philosophy of controlling by comparing actual
and expected results is called management by
exception.
©2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Improving
•
Continuous process improvement is the philosophy
of continually improving employees, business
processes, and products.
o
The objective of continuous process improvement is to
eliminate the source of problems in a process.
▪ In this way, the right products (services) are delivered in the right
quantities at the right time.

Uses of Managerial Accounting
•
Managerial accounting provides information and reports for
managers to use in operating the business.
o
o
o
o
o
Managerial accounting provides the cost of manufacturing a product,
which can be used to determine its selling price.
Managerial accounting allows for comparing the costs of
manufacturing products over time and can be used to monitor and
control the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.
Performance reports allow management to identify any large amounts
of scrap materials or employee downtime.
A report could analyze the potential efficiencies and dollar savings of
purchasing computerized equipment to speed up the production
process.
A report could analyze how many units need to be sold to cover
operating costs and expenses. Such information could be used to set
monthly selling targets and bonuses for sales personnel.

Direct and Indirect Costs
(slide 1 of 2)
•
A cost is a payment of cash or the commitment to
pay cash in the future for the purpose of generating
revenues.
o
In managerial accounting, costs are often classified
according to the decision-making needs of management.
▪ For example, costs are often classified by their relationship to a
segment of operations, called a cost object.
– A cost object may be a product, a sales territory, a department, or an
activity, such as research and development.
©2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Direct and Indirect Costs
(slide 2 of 2)
•
Costs identified with cost objects are either direct
costs or indirect costs.
o
Direct costs are identified with and can be traced to a cost
object.
▪ For example, the cost of wood used to make guitars is a direct
cost.
o
Indirect costs cannot be identified with or traced to a cost
object.
▪ For example, the salaries of production supervisors are indirect
costs of producing a guitar because their salaries cannot be
identified with or traced to any individual guitar.

Manufacturing Costs
•
•
•
The cost of a manufactured product includes the
cost of materials used in making the product.

Direct Materials Cost
•
•
Manufactured products begin with raw materials that are
converted into finished products.
To be classified as a direct materials cost, the cost must be
both of the following:
o
o
An integral part of the finished product
A significant portion of the total cost of the product
• Examples of direct materials costs include the following:
o
o
o
o
The cost of the wood used in producing a guitar
The cost of electronic components for a television
Silicon wafers for microcomputer chips
Tires for an automobile

Direct Labor Cost
•
•
•
Most manufacturing processes use employees to convert
materials into finished products.
The cost of employee wages that is an integral part of the
finished product is classified as direct labor cost.
A direct labor cost must meet both of the following criteria:
o
o
•
An integral part of the finished product
A significant portion of the total cost of the product
Examples of direct labor costs include the following:
o
o
o
o
The wages of employees who cut guitars out of raw lumber and
assemble them
Mechanics’ wages for repairing an automobile
Machine operators’ wages for manufacturing tools
Assemblers’ wages for assembling a laptop computer

Factory Overhead Cost
(slide 1 of 2)
•
•
•
Costs other than direct materials cost and direct labor that are
incurred in the manufacturing process are combined and
classified as factory overhead cost (sometimes called
manufacturing overhead or factory burden).
All factory overhead costs are indirect costs of the product.
Some factory overhead costs include the following:
o
o
o
o
o
Heating and lighting the factory
Repairing and maintaining factory equipment
Property taxes on factory buildings and land
Insurance on factory buildings
Depreciation of factory plant and equipment
©2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Factory Overhead Cost
(slide 2 of 2)
•
Factory overhead cost also includes materials and
labor costs that do not enter directly into the
finished product.
o
•
Examples include the cost of oil used to lubricate
machinery and the wages of janitorial and supervisory
employees.
Also, if the costs of direct materials or direct labor
are not a significant portion of the total product cost,
these costs may be classified as factory overhead
costs.

Prime Costs and Conversion Costs
•
Direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead
costs may be grouped together for analysis and
reporting.
o
Two such common groupings are as follows:
▪ Prime costs, which consist of direct materials and direct labor
costs
▪ Conversion costs, which consist of direct labor and factory
overhead costs
– Conversion costs are the costs of converting the materials into a
finished product.
•
Direct labor is both a prime cost and a conversion
cost.

Product Costs and Period Costs
(slide 1 of 2)
•
For financial reporting purposes, costs are classified
as product costs or period costs.
o
o
Product costs consist of manufacturing costs: direct
materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.
Period costs consist of selling and administrative costs.
▪ Selling expenses are incurred in marketing the product and
delivering the product to the customer.
▪ Administrative expenses are incurred in managing the company
and are not directly related to the manufacturing or selling
functions.

Product Costs and Period Costs
(slide 2 of 2)
•
•
As product costs are incurred, they are recorded and
reported on the balance sheet as inventory. When
the inventory is sold, the cost of the manufactured
product sold is reported as cost of goods sold on the
income statement.
Period costs are reported as expenses on the income
statement in the period in which they are incurred,
and, thus, they never appear on the balance sheet.

Financial Statements for a
Manufacturing Business
•
•
The retained earnings and cash flow statements for a
manufacturing business are similar to those for
service and merchandising businesses.
However, the balance sheet and income statement
for a manufacturing business are more complex.
o
This is because a manufacturer makes the products that it
sells and, thus, must record and report product costs.

Balance Sheet for a Manufacturing Business
•
•
A merchandising business reports only Merchandise Inventory
on its balance sheet.
In contrast, a manufacturing business reports three types of
inventory on its balance sheet as follows:
o
o
o
Materials inventory (sometimes called raw materials inventory)
consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have not
yet entered the manufacturing process.
Work in process inventory consists of the direct materials, direct
labor, and factory overhead costs for products that have entered the
manufacturing process, but are not yet completed (in process).
Finished goods inventory consists of completed (or finished) products
that have not been sold.

Cost Accounting Systems Overview
•
Cost accounting systems measure, record, and
report product costs.
o
•
Managers use product costs for setting product prices,
controlling operations, and developing financial
statements.
The two main types of cost accounting systems for
manufacturing are:
o
o
Job order cost systems
Process cost systems
©2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Job Order Cost Systems
•
A job order cost system provides product costs for
each quantity of product that is manufactured.
o
•
Each quantity of product that is manufactured is called a
job.
Job order costs systems are often used by companies
that manufacture custom products for customers or
batches of similar products.
o
Manufacturers that use a job order cost system are
sometimes called job shops.
▪ Examples of a job shop would be a(n):
– Apparel manufacturer
– Guitar manufacturer

Process Cost Systems
•
•
A process cost system provides product costs for
each manufacturing department or process.
Process cost systems are often used by companies
that manufacture units of a product that are
indistinguishable from each other and are
manufactured using a continuous production
process.
o
Examples would be:
▪
▪
▪
▪
Oil refineries
Paper producers
Chemical processers
Food processors

Job Order Cost Systems for
Manufacturing Businesses (slide 1 of 2)
•
A job order cost system records and summarizes
manufacturing costs by jobs.
o
o
o
While jobs are still in the production process, they are part
of Work in Process Inventory.
As jobs are completed, they become part of Finished
Goods Inventory.
When the finished goods are sold to customers, their costs
become part of Cost of Goods Sold.

Allocating Factory Overhead
(slide 1 of 2)
•
Factory overhead is different from direct labor and
direct materials in that it is indirectly related to the
jobs. That is, factory overhead costs cannot be
identified with or traced to specific jobs. For this
reason, factory overhead costs are allocated to jobs.

Allocating Factory Overhead
(slide 2 of 2)
•
The process by which factory overhead or other
costs are assigned to a cost object, such as a job, is
called cost allocation.
o
The factory overhead costs are allocated to jobs using a
common measure related to each job.
▪ This measure is called an activity base, allocation base, or activity
driver.
– Three common activity bases used to allocate factory overhead are:
1. Direct labor hours
2. Direct labor cost
3. Machine hours

Disposal of Factory Overhead Balance
(slide 1 of 3)
•
•
During the year, the balance in the factory overhead
account is carried forward and reported as a
deferred debit or credit on the monthly (interim)
balance sheets.
However, any balance in the factory overhead
account should not be carried over to the next year.
o
This is because any such balance applies only to operations
of the current year.

Job Order Costing for Decision Making
(slide 1 of 2)
•
A job order cost accounting system accumulates and
records product costs by jobs. The resulting total and
unit product costs can be compared to similar jobs,
compared over time, or compared to expected costs.
o
In this way, a job order cost system can be used by
managers for cost evaluation and control.

Job Order Costing for Decision Making
(slide 2 of 2)
•
•
•
The job cost sheets can be analyzed for possible
reasons for the increased materials cost for Job 63.
Because the materials price did not change ($10 per
board foot), the increased materials cost must be
related to wood consumption.
Thus, Legend Guitars should conduct an investigation
to determine the cause of the extra 100 board feet
used for Job 63.

Job Order Cost Systems for
Service Businesses (slide 1 of 2)
•
A job order cost accounting system may be used by a
professional service business.
o
For example, an advertising agency, an attorney, and a
physician each provide services to individual customers,
clients, or patients. In such cases, the customer, client, or
patient can be viewed as a job for which costs are
accumulated.

Job Order Cost Systems for
Service Businesses (slide 2 of 2)
• The primary product costs for a service business are direct labor and
•
•
overhead costs. Any materials or supplies are insignificant and are
included as part of overhead costs.
Like a manufacturing business, direct labor and overhead costs of
rendering services to clients are accumulated in a work in process account.
When the job is completed and the client billed, the costs are transferred
to a cost of services account.
o
Cost of Services is similar to the cost of merchandise sold account for a
merchandising business or the cost of goods sold account for a manufacturing
business.
• A finished goods account and related finished goods ledger are not
necessary.
o
This is because the revenues for the services are recorded only after the
services are provided.

Cost Accounting Systems Overview
•
Cost accounting systems measure, record, and
report product costs.
o
•
Managers use product costs for setting product prices,
controlling operations, and developing financial
statements.
The two main types of cost accounting systems for
manufacturing are:
o
o
Job order cost systems
Process cost systems

Job Order Cost Systems
•
A job order cost system provides product costs for
each quantity of product that is manufactured.
o
•
Each quantity of product that is manufactured is called a
job.
Job order costs systems are often used by companies
that manufacture custom products for customers or
batches of similar products.
o
Manufacturers that use a job order cost system are
sometimes called job shops.
▪ Examples of a job shop would be a(n):
– Apparel manufacturer
– Guitar manufacturer

Process Cost Systems
•
•
A process cost system provides product costs for
each manufacturing department or process.
Process cost systems are often used by companies
that manufacture units of a product that are
indistinguishable from each other and are
manufactured using a continuous production
process.
o
Examples would be:
▪
▪
▪
▪
Oil refineries
Paper producers
Chemical processers
Food processors

Job Order Cost Systems for
Manufacturing Businesses (slide 1 of 2)
•
A job order cost system records and summarizes
manufacturing costs by jobs.
o
o
o
While jobs are still in the production process, they are part
of Work in Process Inventory.
As jobs are completed, they become part of Finished
Goods Inventory.
When the finished goods are sold to customers, their costs
become part of Cost of Goods Sold.
