Introduction to Managerial Accounting as as as
Review Questions as
1. The primary purpose of managerial accounting is to provide information to help managers plan,
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
direct, control, and make decisions.
as as as as as
2. Financial accounting and managerial accounting differ on the following 6 dimensions: (1) primary
as as as as as as as as as as as as
users, (2) purpose of information, (3) focus and time dimension of the information, (4) rules and
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
restrictions, (5) scope of information, and (6) behavioral.

3. Line positions are directly involved in providing goods or services to customers. Staff positions
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
support line positions.

4. Planning means choosing goals and deciding how to achieve them. Directing involves running the
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
day-to-day operations of a business. Controlling is the process of monitoring operations and
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
keepingthe company on track.

user’s understanding of the reports, analyses, or recommendations.

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

, manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor, such as indirect materials, indirect
as as as as as as as as as as as as
labor, factory depreciation, factory rent, and factory property taxes.
as as as as as as as as as
12. Examples of manufacturing overhead include costs of indirect materials, indirect labor, repair and
as as as as as as as as as as as as
maintenance in factory, factory utilities, factory rent, factory insurance, factory property taxes,
as as as as as as as as as as as as
manufacturing plant managers’ salaries, and depreciation on manufacturing buildings and
as as as as as as as as as as
equipment.
as
13. Prime costs are direct materials plus direct labor. Conversion costs are direct labor plus
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
manufacturing overhead. Note that direct labor is classified as both a prime cost and a
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
conversioncost.
as as
14. Product costs are the cost of purchasing or making a product. These costs are recorded as an
as as as as as as as as as as a s as as as as as
asset and not expensed until the product is sold. Product costs include direct materials, direct
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
labor, andmanufacturing overhead.
as as as as
15. Period costs are non-manufacturing costs that are expensed in the same accounting period in which
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
they are incurred, whereas product costs are recorded as an asset and not expensed until the
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
asaccounting period in which the product is sold. as as as as as as as
16. Cost of Goods Manufactured is calculated as Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory + Total
as as as as as as as as as as as
Manufacturing Costs Incurred during the Year – Ending Work-in-Process Inventory. Total
as as as as as as as as as as as
Manufacturing Costs Incurred during the Year = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor +
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
Manufacturing Overhead.
as as
17. For a manufacturing company, the activity in the Finished Goods Inventory account provides the
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
information for determining Cost of Goods Sold. A manufacturing company calculates Cost of
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
asGoods Sold as Beginning Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of Goods Manufactured – Ending
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
asFinished Good Inventory. In addition, a manufacturing company must track costs from Raw
as as as as as as as as as as as as
asMaterials Inventory and Work-in-Process Inventory in order to compute Cost of Goods

asManufactured used in the previous equation. as as as as as
For a merchandising company, the activity in the Merchandise Inventory account provides the
as as as as as as as as as as as as
information for determining Cost of Goods Sold. A merchandising company calculates Cost of
as as as as as as as as as as as as as
Goods Sold as Beginning Merchandise Inventory + Purchases and Freight In – Ending

MerchandiseInventory.

18. A manufacturing company calculates unit product cost as Cost of Goods Manufactured /
as as as as as as as as as as as as
Totalnumber of units produced.
as as as as as
19. A service company calculates unit cost per service as Total operating costs / Total number
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as
ofservices provided.
