Study Notes
Key Responsibilities of Managers
- Define organizational goals to provide direction.
- Establish objectives necessary to achieve defined goals.
- Identify and assign specific tasks critical for goal fulfillment.
- Ensure coordination among various organizational activities to enhance efficiency.
Management Control Environment
- Influenced by rules, guidelines, and procedures.
- Organizational culture shaped by:
- Tradition, which establishes norms and practices.
- Internal influences such as company values and employee behaviors.
- External influences including market conditions and regulatory frameworks.
- Attitudes of senior management and the Board of Directors (BOD) play a significant role in shaping culture.
Influence of Senior Management
- The attitudes of senior management directly impact the overall organizational environment and employee behavior, creating a trickle-down effect.
Key to Control
- The essential process of determining organizational programs and allocating corresponding resources for effective management.
Budget Creation Information
- Data required includes historical spending, revenue projections, and resource allocation needs to inform financial planning.
Basic Functions of Performance Evaluation
- Provide constructive feedback to individuals regarding their performance.
- Serve as a foundation for behavior modification and the improvement of working habits.
- Supply managerial data for future job assignments, promotions, and compensation decisions.
Decentralisation vs. Centralisation
- Centralised organisations make decisions that are handed down from top management to lower levels of staff.
- In decentralised organisations, decision-making is delegated to divisional and departmental levels, allowing subordinates to carry out their responsibilities.
Decision Making Delegation
- Decision-making authority is pushed down from top management to encourage quicker responses at lower levels of the organization.
Controllable and Noncontrollable Fixed Costs
- Controllable Fixed Costs: Can be influenced by profit center managers within a year, includes expenses like advertising and data processing.
- Noncontrollable Fixed Costs: Cannot be influenced within a year's time, includes costs such as depreciation and taxes.
Variable Costing vs. Full Costing
- Variable Costing: Uses a contribution income statement that separates variable and fixed costs.
- Full Costing (or Absorption Costing): Includes fixed manufacturing costs as part of product cost and is required for financial reporting and tax purposes.
- Full costing adheres to the matching principle, while variable costing supports management control objectives.
Absorption Costing
- Accounts for both fixed and variable production costs as product costs.
Variable Costing
- Assigns only the variable costs of production to products.
Reconciling Income Under Absorption and Variable Costing
- Fixed manufacturing overhead is assessed at 150,000,translatingto150,000, translating to 150,000,translatingto6.00 per unit for 25,000 units produced.
Evaluation of Variable Costing
- Variable costing is straightforward and aligns with Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis.
- It emphasizes the contribution margin for short-term pricing decisions and shows the impact of fixed costs on profitability.
Evaluation of Absorption Costing
- Treats fixed manufacturing overhead as a product cost along with direct materials and labor.
- Suitability for long-run pricing decisions and complies with external reporting requirements and tax law standards.
Upcoming Topic
- Next week will cover Relevant Costing principles.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the decision-making process and the management accountant's role.
- Identify and evaluate relevant information for decision-making, including sunk and opportunity costs.
- Prepare income statements under absorption and variable costing.
- Analyze manufacturing decisions involving joint products and limited resources.
- Acknowledge the impact of information overload on decision efficacy.
Unique vs. Repetitive Decisions
- Unique Decisions: Infrequent occurrences requiring both internal and external relevant information.
- Repetitive Decisions: Regular or irregular intervals using readily available historical data.
Relevant Costs and Benefits
- Sunk Costs: Costs already incurred that cannot be recovered.
- Opportunity Costs: Benefits lost when choosing one alternative over another.
- Out-of-Pocket Costs: Cash expenses that will occur.
- Incremental Revenue: Additional income expected from a decision.
- Avoidable Costs: Costs that can be eliminated if a decision is made.
- Unavoidable Costs: Costs that cannot be eliminated regardless of the decision taken.
Special Order Decisions
- Decisions regarding one-off customer orders.
- Use of idle capacity allows for meeting special order without affecting regular production.
- Relevant costs focus on incremental costs. Fixed costs are often excluded from the analysis.
- If incremental revenues exceed costs, the order should be accepted.
Special Order Example
- Andre, Incorporated has excess capacity and a special order for 4,200 units at $17 each.
- Cost of Goods Sold per unit calculated at 13,yieldinga13, yielding a 13,yieldinga4 margin per unit.
- Total margin of $16,800 from the special order suggests acceptance.
Make or Buy Decisions
- Organizations decide whether to produce a product or purchase from an external supplier.
- Analysis includes evaluating avoidable and unavoidable costs, with opportunity costs considered.
Joint Products
- An example involves cocoa processing where cocoa butter is sold as a joint product.
- Further processing costs may be incurred, impacting the decision to produce additional products.
- If additional revenue from further processing surpasses costs, it is beneficial to proceed.
Decisions Involving Limited Resources
- Organizations often face constraints such as limited raw materials, labor, or machinery.
- Fixed costs typically persist regardless of production choices; maximizing contribution margin is vital.
- Bottlenecks may occur in production, requiring strategic focus on using limited resources effectively.
Example of Limited Resources
- Martin, Inc. faces a situation with a lathe as a bottleneck, operating at maximum capacity.
- Decisions must prioritize production of Webs or Highs to optimize resource utilization.
Manufacturing Costs
- Direct Materials: Raw materials used in production, easily traceable to the finished product.
- Direct Labor: Salaries, wages, and benefits for personnel directly involved in manufacturing.
- Manufacturing Overheads: Indirect costs including materials (e.g., lubricants), labor (e.g., maintenance staff), depreciation, and taxes.
- Product Cost: Total cost assigned to a product calculated as Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead.
Cost Terminology
- Direct Costs: Easily traced to a product or department.
- Indirect Costs: Costs allocated to products or departments rather than easily traced.
- Opportunity Cost: Potential benefit lost when choosing one alternative over another.
- Sunk Cost: Past costs that cannot be altered by any current or future decisions.
- Controllable Cost: Costs that a manager can significantly influence.
Cost Behavior
- Represents how costs react to changes in business activity levels.
Contribution Margin
- Calculated as Total Revenues minus Total Variable Costs.
Introduction to Management Control Systems
- Refers to processes by which managers guide organization members to implement strategies efficiently and effectively, based on existing goals.
Goal Congruence
- Aligns individual participant goals with organizational objectives to promote a unified direction.
Management Control Environment
- Comprises four main facets:
- Nature of Organizations: Defines cooperative group dynamics.
- Rules and Procedures: Established guidelines governing member actions.
- Organizational Culture: The collective values and norms within the organization.
- External Environment: Influences from outside the organization impacting control systems.
Phases of Management Control
- Strategic Planning: Establishing goals and directions.
- Budgeting: Allocating resources based on strategic objectives.
- Evaluation: Assessing outcomes against strategies and budgets.
- Measurement and Reporting: Collecting and analyzing data for informed decision-making.
- Adjustments: Modifying operations based on feedback and evaluation results.
Decentralization
- Decentralization involves decision-making spread across different levels of management rather than concentrated at the top.
- Higher echelons in a centralized organization make decisions that subordinates carry out.
- Decentralization is typically seen as organizations expand, empowering lower-level management to make decisions.
Decision-Making Delegation
- Top management pushes decision-making down to middle management and supervisors.
- This delegation allows for quicker responses to opportunities and problems.
Benefits of Decentralized Organizations
- Delegating responsibilities provides time relief for managers.
- Empowers employees by leveraging their knowledge and expertise.
- Timely decision-making enhances responsiveness to market changes.
- Autonomy in decision-making promotes managerial training and professional growth.
- Increased decision-making authority boosts employee motivation.
Costs of Decentralized Organizations
- May result in a lack of a cohesive big-picture view among departments.
- Potential for poor coordination due to isolated decision-making.
- Narrow focus may hinder overall organizational effectiveness.
- Challenges in transferring knowledge between different management levels.
Contribution Income Statement
- A method for evaluating profit centers' performance by examining the contribution margin.
- Details vary based on the management's needs, focusing on costs controllable by individual profit centers.
- Measures all traceable costs and excludes non-controllable costs.
Role of Contribution Income Statement in Performance Evaluation
- Distinguishes between controllable and non-controllable costs.
- Avoids potential distortions associated with the "inventory effect" of full costing.
Absorption Costing
- An accounting method that includes both fixed and variable production costs as product costs.
- Allocates all costs associated with the production of goods to the units produced.
Variable Costing
- A cost accounting system that assigns only variable production costs to products.
- Fixed costs are treated separately as period expenses.
Unit Cost Determination
- Unit product costs are calculated while treating selling and administrative expenses as period expenses, deducted from total revenue.
Absorption Costing Income Statements (Mellon Co. Example)
- Mellon Co. produced 25,000 units with no beginning inventory.
- Sold 20,000 units at a selling price of $30 each.
- Absorption costing helps determine profitability by including all production costs in the cost of goods sold.
Relevant Costs for Special Orders
- Incremental costs are significant when assessing special orders, especially with spare capacity.
- Accept special orders if incremental revenues exceed incremental costs.
- In cases without spare capacity, consider opportunity costs as well.
Special Order Example
- Andre, Incorporated received a special order for 4,200 units at $17 per unit.
- Current production anticipated at 12,000 units, with a sales price of $240,000 and a COGS of $186,000, leading to a gross margin of $54,000.
- COGS per unit calculated to be $13.00 ([COGS $186,000 - Fixed Costs $30,000] ÷ 12,000 units).
- Margin from the special order is $4.00 per unit, totaling an increase in income of $16,800.
Make or Buy Decisions
- Organizations must evaluate whether to produce internally or purchase from suppliers, focusing on avoidable costs.
- Opportunity costs often play a crucial role in decision-making.
Make or Buy Considerations
- Careful treatment of fixed costs is essential.
- Strategic considerations include quality, delivery, and supplier reliability.
Outsourcing Decisions
- Involve contracting parts of manufacturing or other functions to external businesses.
- Typically represent long-term commitments and are challenging to reverse.
Adding or Deleting Products
- Examine changes in costs and benefits before making production decisions.
- Decisions can have long-term consequences; traditional accounting must be interpreted cautiously.
Add or Delete Example
- Desk Company selling a product for $40 considers adding a feature for $55, which will cost $32,000 to implement.
- Expected 1,900 units could reduce operating income by $3,500 (incremental revenue of $28,500 minus $32,000 cost).
Joint Products: Sell or Process Further
- Joint products are multiple outputs from a single manufacturing process.
- At the split-off point, products become identifiable separately, and joint costs are allocated based on relative sales value.
Joint Products Example
- Cocoa beans yield cocoa butter and cocoa powder, which can be sold directly or further processed into instant cocoa mix.
Decisions Involving Limited Resources
- Organizations often face constraints on resources such as floor space or manufacturing time.
- The goal is to maximize contribution margins while recognizing ongoing fixed costs.
Limited Resources Example
- Martin, Inc. has a lathe working at 100% capacity, serving as a bottleneck.
- Determine strategic focus between two products (Webs or Highs) based on lathe capacity and contribution margin analysis.
