MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTINGBASICS Definition of Managerial Accounting A field of accounting that provides economic and financial information for managers and other internal users Also called Management Accounting
MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING BASICSDistinguishing Features • Applies to all types of businesses – service, merchandising, and manufacturing • Applies to all forms of businesses – proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations • Applies to not-for-profit and profit-oriented companies
COMPARING MANAGERIAL AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTINGStudy Objective 1Similarities • Both deal with economic events of a business. • Both require that economic events be quantified and communicated to interested parties.
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONSStudy Objective 2 Management’s activities and responsibilities can be classified into the following three broad functions: Planning Directing Controlling
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS Planning • Look ahead • Establish objectives such as • Maximize short-term profit • Commit to environmental protection • Key Objective: Add value to the business • Value measured by trading price of stock and by potential selling price of the company
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS Directing • Coordinate diverse activities and human resources • Implement planned objectives • Provide incentives to motivate employees • Hire and train employees including executives, managers, and supervisors

MANAGERIAL COST CONCEPTSManufacturing CostsStudy Objective 3 • Manufacturing consists of activities to convert raw materials into finished goods. • In contrast, a merchandising firm sells goods in the form in which they were bought. Typical Classification of Manufacturing Costs
MANAGERIAL COST CONCEPTSManufacturing Costs - Materials • Direct Materials • Raw materials - basic materials used in manufacturing. • Raw materials that can be physically and directly associated with the finished product are called direct materials. • Examples include Flour in the baking of bread Syrup in the bottling of soft drinks Steel used in making automobiles
MANAGERIAL COST CONCEPTSManufacturing Costs- Materials • Indirect Materials • Raw materials that cannot be easily associated with the finished product are called indirect materials. • Indirect materials do not physically become part of the finished product or represent too small a part of the finished product in terms of cost • Considered part of manufacturing overhead
MANAGERIAL COST CONCEPTSManufacturing Costs - Labor • Direct Labor • Work of factory employees that can be physically and directly associated with converting raw materials into finished goods • Examples include Bottlers at Coca-Cola Bakers at Sara Lee Typesetters at a newspaper
MANAGERIAL COST CONCEPTSManufacturing Costs - Labor • Indirect Labor • Work of factory workers that have no physical association with the finished product or for which it is impractical to trace to the goods produced • Examples include Wages of maintenance workers Supervisors
MANAGERIAL COST CONCEPTSManufacturing Costs – Manufacturing Overhead • Costs that are indirectly associated with manufacturing the product • Examples include Indirect materials Indirect labor Depreciation on factory buildings Insurance, taxes, maintenance on factory facilities • Basically manufacturing overhead includes all manufacturing costs exceptdirect materials and direct labor.
PRODUCT VERSUS PERIOD COSTSStudy Objective 4Product Costs • Consist of the direct material cost, the direct labor cost, and the manufacturing overhead cost • A necessary and integral part of producing the product • Recorded as inventory when incurred • Do not become expenses until the finished goods inventory is sold
PRODUCT VERSUS PERIOD COSTS Period Costs • Matched with revenue of a specific time period and charged to expense as incurred. • Non-manufacturing costs • Deducted from revenues in period incurred to determine net income • Include all • Selling expenses • General and Administrative expenses FOR RENT
MANUFACTURING COSTS INFINANCIAL STATEMENTSStudy Objective 5 Income Statement The income statement for a manufacturer is similar to that of a merchandiser except for the cost of goods sold section. CGS
MANUFACTURING COSTS INFINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cost of Goods Sold ComponentsMerchandiser versus Manufacturer
MANUFACTURING COSTS INFINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cost of Goods Sold Section of the Income Statement
DETERMINING THE COST OF GOODS MANUFACTUREDStudy Objective 6 Work in Process – partially completed units of product Total Manufacturing Costs – sum of direct material costs, direct labor costs, and manufacturing overhead; all incurred in the current year
Merchandising Company One category of inventory: Merchandise Inventory Manufacturing Company May have three inventory accounts: Raw Materials Work in Process Finished Goods BALANCE SHEET - InventoriesStudy Objective 7
MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING TODAYStudy Objective 8Service Industry Trends • U.S economy in general has shifted toward an emphasis on providing services • Today over 50 percent of U.S. workers are employed by service companies • Trend is expected to continue in future • Most of the techniques learned for manufacturing firms are applicable to service companies
MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING TODAYManagerial Accounting Practices • Value Chain • Refers to all activities associated with providing a product or service. • For a manufacturing firm, these include the following:
MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING TODAYManagerial Accounting Practices • Technological Change • Computerization and automation • Enterprise resource planning (ERP) - software systems that manage the value chain In large companies an ERP system might replace as many as 200 individual software packages • Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) - make products untouched by human hands • Internet and business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce
MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING TODAYManagerial Accounting Practices • Just-In-Time (JIT) Inventory Methods • Inventory system in which goods are manufactured or purchased just in time for use • Quality • Increased emphasis on product quality because goods are produced only as needed Total Quality Management (TQM) - a philosophy of zero defects • Activity-Based Costing (ABC) • Allocates overhead based on use of specific activities or functions of the company (number of orders or number of machine set ups) • Results in more accurate product costing and scrutiny of all activities in the value chain
MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING TODAYManagerial Accounting Practices • Theory of Constraints • Used to identify and manage constraints or “bottlenecks” • Helps achieve overall goals of the company, particularly profits • Balanced Scorecard • A performance-measurement approach to evaluate operations in an integrated fashion Uses both financial and non-financial measures • Links performance measures to overall company objectives
