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