119) Things are not going well for the widget industry this year. The well-known cyclical
nature of
widget
sales is
in a
downtur
n and
your
plant has
been
ordered
to cut
costs by
its
America
n parent
corporati
on. The
plant
manager
explains that he has shown the lead by negotiating a $1.50 hourly wage decrease
with the production workers, based on a formula that pegs a $1.50 per hour wage
increase/decrease to sales volume, and since sales are down this year, so are hourly
wage costs. In the quarterly management meeting, the sales manager complained
that sales could have been higher, but that somehow costs had increased, at least
that’s what the reports out of your office in management accounting, indicated. The
Purchasing manager assured everyone that she was able to obtain raw materials at
the same price as last year, and unfortunately, you as the management accountant,
were not in attendance at the meeting. Your assistant, a new employee attended in
your place, and promised at the meeting to redo the reports and find the errors.
Your assistant has come to you as he cannot find any errors in the reports.
Consequently, the plant manager wants you to redo the reports, find the error
reports produced by your department for the last quarter and to explain to your
boss, the plant manager, why average costs have increased.
Required:
Assuming there are no errors in the cost reports, explain to the plant manager how
direct labour costs could be decreased and direct materials costs could be the same
as last year, and yet the selling price cannot be lowered without sacrificing net
income for the plant.
120) Why is it possible that a raw material such as glue might be considered as an
indirect material for one
furniture manufacturer and as a direct material for another furniture manufacture?
121) A new employee in the accounting department is having difficulty understanding
two sets of accounting termsvariable and fixed costs as opposed to period and
product costs. He understands that variable costs change during an accounting
period while fixed costs do not. However, he explains that a period cost implies that
it is for a period of time and is, therefore, also fixed. Does his assumption imply that
all product costs are then variable?
Required:
As part of your responsibility to train new staff, explain the difference between these
terms.
122) The vice president of production has just completed the January meeting with all
production department heads. Everyone is upset that the production variances for
the month were unfavourable. They do not understand why everything was
unfavourable. January is typically the company’s lowest production month of the
year.
The company uses annual average unit costs for production evaluation purposes.
The average costs are based on the prior year’s actual performance with adjustments
for any predicted changes in the coming year. Both production and economic items
are considered in setting the averages for each new year.
Required:
Explain the problems with using average costs in evaluating production.
123) Explain the difference between an inventoriable cost and a period cost. What
pot
ent
ial
problems does an
inaccurate classification of product and period costs cause?
124) A manufacturing company contracts with the labour union to guarantee full
employment for all employees with at least 10 years seniority. The Company
expects to be working at capacity for the next 2 years (the life of the contract), so this

an employee earns $30 per hour, including benefits. The work force consists of 800
employees, with seniority ranging from 1 year to 18 years.

107) a. Unit costs for January were:
($9,000,000 + $3,000,000 + $8,500,000) / 40,000 = $512.50 per unit
b. Unit costs should be higher in February if only 30,000 units are to be produced.
Indirect manufacturing costs most likely include both fixed and variable
components. Since fewer units are expected to be produced in February, total
fixed costs will be spread over fewer units. This will result in an increase in
total cost per unit since variable costs per unit will most likely not change with
the decreased production.

Recommendation: Accept the leasing proposal as it raises OI by $13 per unit or $520,000.
110) A cost driver is any factor that affects total costs. When a new engineering change has to be
implemented, obviously there will be down time for staff to learn the new work processes,
and for any physical changes required on the assembly line that may result in rearranging
the workload tasks (such as material handling changes). These costs would have to be
balanced against the expected savings by being able to utilize the production worker’s time
more efficiently. The costs of the engineer’s time would not be relevant.
A second cost driver would be the units of production. As the workers time utilization
becomes more efficient, production should increase, so total variable costs will increase.
Total fixed costs will not increase assuming no problems with the relevant range.The direct
manufacturing labour costs would increase in total, but as indicated above, we expect
decreased variable direct manufacturing labour cost per unit.
Another possible cost driver is the number of setups. To the extent that the number of
setups is increased by the engineering changes, then total costs will increase, and these
costs would have to be considered when contemplating the engineering changes. In this
situation, it appears that production must be increased, and that the plant manager is most
concerned with achieving this through reducing the direct labour required per unit, rather
than by reducing labour costs per unit. Therefore, the most likely cost driver in this
situation would be the number of units produced.

119) The key to the problem lies in recognizing the difference between variable and fixed costs,
and understanding the implication that declining volume has on average costs. Part of the
solution may be due to indirect materials, but one would assume this is a minor factor. The
major factor is that there are fewer units of widgets to absorb the fixed costs. On a per
widget basis, the plant is saving say, $1.50 per hour in labour costs, but each widget has to
absorb more of the fixed costs. If the $1.50 per hour component is not a significant part of
the cost, compared to the fixed cost per unit at that level of production, for example, if the
direct labour per widget is only 6 minutes, then the savings in variable cost per widget is
only $0.15. This isn’t much in savings when the fixed costs per unit have to increase. The
next point is that setting the sales price perhaps should not consider actual fixed cost
burden, but the plant could consider using a budgeted amount, and lower the sales price
some what in hopes that this would increase sales.
120) It is possible for a raw material such as glue to be considered as an indirect material
by one furniture manufacturer and as a direct material by another furniture
manufacturer. The decision is largely a choice by the manufacturer and depends on
a number of factors including the materiality of the cost in question, the cost of
gathering the information, and the design of the manufacturing process. If the
product in question has an insignificant cost, it might not be worth the trouble to
trace the cost of the glue to each piece of furniture, and the glue would be considered
indirect. If the cost of tracing the cost of the glue is high in relation to the benefits
received from tracing it, the glue would likely be considered as indirect material. If
the design of the manufacturing process easily permits all the glue to be traced to a
single type of furniture, then it would be easy for a company to consider that
material to be direct. Overall, the direct/indirect classification is decided on a
cost/benefit basis.
121) First, you should explain that all costs should be first classified as either variable or fixed.
This concept deals with cost behaviour and not with what the costs are associated in the
organization. Many decisions are made about costs because of the type of behaviour they
exhibit.
Second, a cost can be assigned to “why you are in business” activities (product costs) of the
organization or to “support” activities (period costs) of the organization. For a
manufacturing firm period costs are all costs which have no direct relationship to the
manufacturing process.
Period costs are always expenses during the accounting period while product costs are
inventoriable because they can be assigned to the products being produced.
122) One of the problems with average unit costs is that actual costs may never be average. The
probable shortcoming with the situation presented is that the costs included a fixed cost
element and with the production low the fixed costs were averaged using a denominator
that was smaller than the year’s average which caused the unit averages to increase.
123) Inventoriable costs are all costs of a product that are considered as assets in the
balance sheet when they are incurred and which become cost of goods sold only
when the product is sold. Period costs are treated as expenses of the accounting
period in which they are incurred. An inaccurate classification of inventoriable and
period costs could lead to violations of the matching principle, which states that costs
used in producing revenue should be matched on the income statement when the
revenue is recognized. In extreme cases, net income for a given period might be
significantly misstated if proper matching does not occur.
124)
Usually, we think of direct labour as a variable cost, since it increases in proportion to the increases in
output. However in this case, the manufacturer has converted a portion of the direct labour cost into a
fixed cost, since the union contract appears to require the company to pay full wages to all employees
with at least 10 years seniority, regardless of the level of production. The direct labour costs in excess of
this amount would still be a variable cost. The relevant range would be the number of employees with at
least 10 years seniority, times the wage for a regular work week. This will be the case until the contract
expires.
