2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
6. Service companies sell time, skills, and knowledge. Examples of service companies include phone
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
service companies, banks, cleaning service companies, accounting firms, law firms, medical
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
physicians, and online auction services.
2 2 2 2 2
7. Merchandising companies resell products they buy from suppliers. Merchandisers keep an inventoryof 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
products, and managers are accountable for the purchasing, storage, and sale of the products. Examples
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
of merchandising companies include toy stores, grocerystores, and clothing stores.
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
8. Merchandising companies resell products they previously bought from suppliers, whereas 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
manufacturing companies use labor, equipment, supplies, and facilities to convert raw materials into
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
new finished products. In contrast to merchandising companies, manufacturing companies have a
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
broad range of production activities that require tracking costs on three kinds of inventory.
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
9. The three inventory accounts used by manufacturing companies are Raw Materials Inventory, Work-in-
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Process Inventory, and Finished Goods Inventory.
2 2 2 2 2
Raw Materials Inventory includes materials used to manufacture a product. Work-in-ProcessInventory
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
includes goods that have been started in the manufacturing process but are not yet complete. Finished
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Goods Inventoryincludes completed goods that have not yet been sold.
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
10. A direct cost is a cost that can be easily and cost-effectively traced to a cost object (which is anything for
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
which managers want a separate measurement of cost). An indirect cost is a cost thatcannot be easily
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
or cost-effectivelytraced to a cost object.
2 2 2 2 2 2 2
11. The three manufacturing costs for a manufacturing company are direct materials, direct labor, and
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
manufacturing overhead. Direct materials are materials that become a physical part of a finished
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
product and whose costs are easilytraceable to the finished product. Direct labor is the labor cost ofthe
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
employees who convert materials into finished products. Manufacturing overhead includes all
