UNIT 3 & 4: Cost classification and cost behavior


 Production overhead = indirect cost
 Controllable cost: cost for which the behavior pattern can be easily analyzed to facilitate
budgetary control comparisons
 Period cost: cost that is directly deducted as expenses for the period, NOT included in
inventory valuation (COGS)
 Prime cost = total direct cost
 Conversion cost = labor cost + manufacturing cost = labor cost + (prime cost + overheads)

6.5−2.5
Variable cost/unit = =0 ,04
225−125

Fixed cost = 6.5 – 225.0,04= -2,5

 Ad. Ex.= R.0,04 – 2,5  R = 62500 + 25. (Ad. Ex.)


A rather easy to understand approach:

4000 = VCPU.1000 + FC

10000 = VCPU.3000 + FC + 500

Solve equation: VCPU = 2.75; FC = 1250

39400 = VCPU.8000 + FC

68000 = VCPU.15000 + 5000.(VCPU-1) + FC

Solve equation:

VCPU = 2.8
UNIT 6: Accounting for material
Reorder level = maxium usage x maxium lead time

When inventories reach this level, orders shoud be placed to replenish inventories. otherwise,
stockouts are possible in case of maximum usage and maxium lead time.

Minimum level = reorder level – (average usage x average lead time)

When inventories reach this level, stockouts are possible anytime  IMMEDIATE measures
need to be taken

Maxium level = reorder level + reorder quantity – (minimum usage x minimum lead time)

When inventories reach this level, management needs to take measure to minimize
inventories.

Average inventory = safety inventory/buffer inventory/minimum level + ½ reorder quantity

supplier’s inventories + physical inventories = free inventories + customers’s inventories

IMPORTANT EQUATION
Holding cost = CH (Cost of holding one unit for the period) x Average inventory

 Holding cost = CH (Cost of holding one unit for the period) x ½ Reorder quantity

Ordering cost = Co (Cost of placing one order) x number of order

Demand duringthe period( D)


 Ordering cost = Co (Cost of placing one order) x
Reorder quantity

When inventory cost is optimized: Holding cost = Ordering cost


 EOQ =
√ 2 CoD

Ans.: A

Ans.: B

Note:

 Moving weigthted: calculate average cost after an purchase, using the carrying unit value after
an issue.

 Monthly weighted: unit cost is equal for a period unit cost =


∑ unit x cost
total unit
UNIT 7: ACCOUNTING FOR LABOUR

An increase in production without an increase in productivity will not change unit cost.

An increase in prodcutivity wil reduce unit cost.

Efficiency ratio x capacity ratio = production volume ratio

¿ Actual hours worked output measured∈expected of standard hours


Expected hours ¿ make output x =
Actual hours taken Hours budgeted hours budgeted
idle time
idle time ratio= x 100 %
total hours
Replacements
labour turnover rate= x 100 %
average number of employees∈ period

17 rejected products  only 193 products counted

 Earning = 100*0.20 + 93*0.30 = 47.9

NOT: 193.0.30 = 57.9


Machine breakdown  idle time  indirect

Overtime to complete constumer’s request  direct

 Direct earning = basic pay + premium pay = 36*3.6 + 2.5.4 = 140.4

UNIT 8 & 9: Overhead and Marginal costing


Fixed absortion rate = Budgeted production overhead /( budgeted production/budgeted time/...)

Absorbed overhead = actual production/budgeted time/.... x fixed absortion rate

TASKS NEEDED TO REVISE: 1, 11, 13, 24, 28, 29, 44


Packing department = 8960 + 8400 x (3/21) = 10160

Remember: 4 indirect employees in Canteen are not included in the apportion of service cost.
Therefore, 3/21 not 3/25

Absortion rate = 360000/8000 = 45

 Fixed production overhead = Absortion rate x actual production = 405.000


Absorbed overhead = 4500 * 8 = 36,000

Over-absorbed by 6000  actual overhead = 36,000 – 6,000 = 30,000

11) C

12) Absorbed overhead = 3.5 x 30,000 = 105,000 < actual overhead by 108,875 – 105,000 = 3,875
 Under – absorbed

X first  total allocated of Y = [30,000 + 46,000.(20/100)].[1/1-(200/10000)]=40,000  Total


allocated for X = 46,000 + 40,000 . 10/100 = 50,000

 Overhead for P = 95,000 + 40,000. 40/100 + (50,000 + 40,000.(10/100)). 30/100 = 126,000
