IV. Credibility.
Communicate |information |fairly |and |objectively.
Provide |all |relevant |information |that |could |reasonably |be |expected |to |influence |an |intended
|user’s |understanding |of |the |reports, |analyses, |or |recommendations.
Report |any |delays |or |deficiencies |in |information, |timeliness, |processing, |or |internal |controls|in
|conformance |with |organization |policy |and/or |applicable |law.
Communicate |any |professional |limitations |or |other |constraints |that |would |preclude |responsi-
|ble |judgment |or |successful |performance |of |an |activity.
6. Service |companies |sell |time, |skills, |and |knowledge. | Examples |of |service |companies |include |phone
|service |companies, |banks, |cleaning |service |companies, |accounting |firms, |law |firms, |medical
|physicians, |and |online |auction |services.
7. Merchandising |companies |resell |products |they |buy |from |suppliers. |Merchandisers |keep |an |inventory|of
|products, |and |managers |are |accountable |for |the |purchasing, |storage, |and |sale |of |the |products.
|Examples |of |merchandising |companies |include |toy |stores, |grocery |stores, |and |clothing |stores.
8. Merchandising |companies |resell |products |they |previously |bought |from |suppliers, |whereas
|manufacturing |companies |use |labor, |equipment, |supplies, |and |facilities |to |convert |raw |materials |into
|new |finished |products. |In |contrast |to |merchandising |companies, |manufacturing |companies |have |a
|broad |range |of |production |activities |that |require |tracking |costs |on |three |kinds |of |inventory.
9. The |three |inventory |accounts |used |by |manufacturing |companies |are |Raw |Materials |Inventory, |Work-
|in-Process |Inventory, |and |Finished |Goods |Inventory.
Raw |Materials |Inventory |includes |materials |used |to |manufacture |a |product. |Work-in-Process
|Inventory |includes |goods |that |have |been |started |in |the |manufacturing |process |but |are |not |yet
|complete. | Finished |Goods |Inventory |includes |completed |goods |that |have |not |yet |been |sold.
10. A |direct |cost |is |a |cost |that |can |be |easily |and |cost-effectively |traced |to |a |cost |object |(which |is
|anything |for |which |managers |want |a |separate |measurement |of |cost). |An |indirect |cost |is |a |cost |that
|cannot |be |easily |or |cost-effectively |traced |to |a |cost |object.
11. The |three |manufacturing |costs |for |a |manufacturing |company |are |direct |materials, |direct |labor, |and
|manufacturing |overhead. |Direct |materials |are |materials |that |become |a |physical |part |of |a |finished
|product |and |whose |costs |are |easily |traceable |to |the |finished |product. | Direct |labor |is |the |labor |cost
|of|the |employees |who |convert |materials |into |finished |products. | Manufacturing |overhead |includes |all
© |2021 |Pearson |Education, |Inc. 1-2
, manufacturing |costs |except |direct |materials |and |direct |labor, |such |as |indirect |materials, |indirect
|labor, |factory |depreciation, |factory |rent, |and |factory |property |taxes.
12. Examples |of |manufacturing |overhead |include |costs |of |indirect |materials, |indirect |labor, |repair |and
|maintenance |in |factory, |factory |utilities, |factory |rent, |factory |insurance, |factory |property |taxes,
|manufacturing |plant |managers’ |salaries, |and |depreciation |on |manufacturing |buildings |and
|equipment.
13. Prime |costs |are |direct |materials |plus |direct |labor. |Conversion |costs |are |direct |labor |plus
|manufacturing |overhead. |Note |that |direct |labor |is |classified |as |both |a |prime |cost |and |a |conversion
|cost.
14. Product |costs |are |the |cost |of |purchasing |or |making |a |product. | These |costs |are |recorded |as |an
|asset|and |not |expensed |until |the |product |is |sold. |Product |costs |include |direct |materials, |direct |labor,
|and|manufacturing |overhead.
15. Period |costs |are |non-manufacturing |costs |that |are |expensed |in |the |same |accounting |period |in |which
|they |are |incurred, |whereas |product |costs |are |recorded |as |an |asset |and |not |expensed |until |the
|accounting |period |in |which |the |product |is |sold.
16. Cost |of |Goods |Manufactured |is |calculated |as |Beginning |Work-in-Process |Inventory |+ |Total
|Manufacturing |Costs |Incurred |during |the |Year |– |Ending |Work-in-Process |Inventory. |Total
|Manufacturing |Costs |Incurred |during |the |Year |= |Direct |Materials |Used |+ |Direct |Labor |+
|Manufacturing |Overhead.
17. For |a |manufacturing |company, |the |activity |in |the |Finished |Goods |Inventory |account |provides |the
|information |for |determining |Cost |of |Goods |Sold. |A |manufacturing |company |calculates |Cost |of
|Goods |Sold |as |Beginning |Finished |Goods |Inventory |+ |Cost |of |Goods |Manufactured |– |Ending
|Finished |Good |Inventory. |In |addition, |a |manufacturing |company |must |track |costs |from |Raw
|Materials |Inventory |and |Work-in-Process |Inventory |in |order |to |compute |Cost |of |Goods
|Manufactured |used |in |the |previous |equation.
For |a |merchandising |company, |the |activity |in |the |Merchandise |Inventory |account |provides |the
|information |for |determining |Cost |of |Goods |Sold. |A |merchandising |company |calculates |Cost |of
|Goods |Sold |as |Beginning |Merchandise |Inventory |+ |Purchases |and |Freight |In |– |Ending |Merchandise
|Inventory.
18. A |manufacturing |company |calculates |unit |product |cost |as |Cost |of |Goods |Manufactured |/ |Total
|number |of |units |produced.
19. A |service |company |calculates |unit |cost |per |service |as |Total |operating |costs |/ |Total |number |of
|services |provided.

, 20. A |merchandising |company |calculates |unit |cost |per |item |as |Total |cost |of |goods |sold |/ |Total |number
|of|items |sold.
