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

n n n n n n n n n n n n




service companies, banks, cleaning service companies, accounting firms, law firms, medical
n n n n n n n n n n n




physicians, and online auction services.
n n n n n




7. Merchandising companies resell products they buy from suppliers. Merchandisers keep an inventory n n n n n n n n n n n




of products, and managers are accountable for the purchasing, storage, and sale of the products.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




Examples of merchandising companies include toy stores, grocery stores, and clothing stores.
n n n n n n n n n n n n




8. Merchandising companies resell products they previously bought from suppliers, whereas n n n n n n n n n




manufacturing companies use labor, equipment, supplies, and facilities to convert raw materials into
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




new finished products. In contrast to merchandising companies, manufacturing companies have a
n n n n n n n n n n n n




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-
n n n n n n n n n n n n




in-Process Inventory, and Finished Goods Inventory.

Raw Materials Inventory includes materials used to manufacture a product. Work-in-Process
n n n n n n n n n n




Inventory includes goods that have been started in the manufacturing process but are not yet
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




for which managers want a separate measurement of cost). An indirect cost is a cost thatcannot be
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




easily or cost-effectively traced to a cost object.
n n n n n n n n




11. The three manufacturing costs for a manufacturing company are direct materials, direct labor, and
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




manufacturing overhead. Direct materials are materials that become a physical part of a finished
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




product and whose costs are easily traceable to the finished product. Direct labor is the labor cost of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




the employees who convert materials into finished products. Manufacturing overhead includes all
