- Stan is opening a coffee shop next to Big State University. He knows that controlling his costs will be important to the success of the shop. He will not be able to work all the hours the shop is open, so the employees will need some guidelines to perform their jobs correctly. After talking to an accounting professor, he decides he needs a standard cost system for his shop. Describe the process Stan should follow in setting his standards for materials and labor.You are trying to decide whether to take a job after you graduate or go onto graduate school. Consider the following questions as you make your decision. A. Which of these costs, for the most part, would be relevant (R), and which would be irrelevant (IR)? Cost of your Undergraduate education Salary with an undergraduate degree Salary with both an undergraduate degree and a graduate degree Rent Car Insurance Graduate school tuition and fees Food costs Moving expenses B. Which of these costs could have a differential amount that is relevant/irrelevant, depending upon the location and or policies of your new job?Cost Behavior, High-Low Method, Pricing Decision Fonseca, Ruiz, and Dunn is a large, local accounting firm located in a southwestern city. Carlos Ruiz, one of the firms founders, appreciates the success his firm has enjoyed and wants to give something back to his community. He believes that an inexpensive accounting services clinic could provide basic accounting services for small businesses located in the barrio. He wants to price the services at cost. Since the clinic is brand new, it has no experience to go on. Carlos decided to operate the clinic for 2 months before determining how much to charge per hour on an ongoing basis. As a temporary measure, the clinic adopted an hourly charge of 25, half the amount charged by Fonseca, Ruiz, and Dunn for professional services. The accounting services clinic opened on January 1. During January, the clinic had 120 hours of professional service. During February, the activity was 150 hours. Costs for these two levels of activity usage are as follows: Required: 1. Classify each cost as fixed, variable, or mixed, using hours of professional service as the activity driver. 2. Use the high-low method to separate the mixed costs into their fixed and variable components. (Note: Round variable rates to two decimal places and fixed amounts to the nearest dollar.) 3. Luz Mondragon, the chief paraprofessional of the clinic, has estimated that the clinic will average 140 professional hours per month. If the clinic is to be operated as a nonprofit organization, how much will it need to charge per professional hour ? How much of this charge is variable? How much is fixed? (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.) 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose the accounting center averages 170 professional hours per month. How much would need to be charged per hour for the center to cover its costs ? Explain why the per-hour charge decreased as the activity output increased. (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.)
- Cost Information and Ethical Behavior, Service Organization Jean Erickson, manager and owner of an advertising company in Charlotte, North Carolina, arranged a meeting with Leroy Gee, the chief accountant of a large, local competitor. The two are lifelong friends. They grew up together in a small town and attended the same university. Leroy is a competent, successful accountant but is having some personal financial difficulties after some of his investments turned sour, leaving him with a 15,000 personal loan to pay offjust when his oldest son is starting college. Jean, on the other hand, is struggling to establish a successful advertising business. She had recently acquired the rights to open a branch office of a large regional advertising firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. During her first 2 years, she was able to build a small, profitable practice. However, the chance to gain a significant foothold in Charlotte hinged on the success of winning a bid to represent the state of North Carolina in a major campaign to attract new industry and tourism. The meeting she had scheduled with Leroy concerned the bid she planned to submit. Jean: Leroy, Im at a critical point in my business venture. If I can win the bid for the states advertising dollars, Ill be set. Winning the bid will bring 600,000 to 700,000 of revenues into the firm. On top of that, I estimate that the publicity will bring another 200,000 to 300,000 of new business. Leroy: I understand. My boss is anxious to win that business as well. It would mean a huge increase in profits for my firm. Its a competitive business, though. As new as you are, I doubt that youll have much chance of winning. Jean: Youre forgetting two very important considerations. First, I have the backing of all the resources and talent of a regional firm. Second, I have some political connections. Last year, I was hired to run the publicity side of the governors campaign. He was impressed with my work and would like me to have this business. I am confident that the proposals I submit will be very competitive. My only concern is to submit a bid that beats your firm. If I come in with a lower bid and good proposals, the governor can see to it that I get the work. Leroy: Sounds promising. If you do win, however, there will be a lot of upset people. After all, they are going to claim that the business should have been given to local advertisers, not to some out-of-state firm. Given the size of your office, youll have to get support from Atlanta. You could take a lot of heat. Jean: True. But I am the owner of the branch office. That fact alone should blunt most of the criticism. Who can argue that Im not a local? Listen, with your help, I think I can win this bid. Furthermore, if I do win it, you can reap some direct benefits. With that kind of business, I can afford to hire an accountant, and Ill make it worthwhile for you to transfer jobs. I can offer you an up-front bonus of 15,000. On top of that, Ill increase your annual salary by 20%. That should solve most of your financial difficulties. After all, we have been friends since day oneand what are friends for? Leroy: Jean, my wife would be ecstatic if I were able to improve our financial position as quickly as this opportunity affords. I certainly hope that you win the bid. What kind of help can I provide? Jean: Simple. To win, all I have to do is beat the bid of your firm. Before I submit my bid, I would like you to review it. With the financial skills you have, it should be easy for you to spot any excessive costs that I may have included. Or perhaps I included the wrong kind of costs. By cutting excessive costs and eliminating costs that may not be directly related to the project, my bid should be competitive enough to meet or beat your firms bid. Required: 1. What would you do if you were Leroy? Fully explain the reasons for your choice. What do you suppose the code of conduct for Leroys company would say about this situation? 2. What is the likely outcome if Leroy agrees to review the bid? Is there much risk to him personally if he reviews the bid? Should the degree of risk have any bearing on his decision?Identifying Fixed, Variable, Mixed, and Step Costs Consider each of the following independent situations: a. A computer service agreement in which a company pays 150 per month and 15 per hour of technical time b. Fuel cost of the companys fleet of motor vehicles c. The cost of beer for a bar d. The cost of computer printers and copiers at your college e. Rent for a dental office f. The salary of a receptionist in a law firm g. The wages of counter help in a fast-food restaurant h. The salaries of dental hygienists in a three-dentist office. One hygienist can take care of 120 cleanings per month. i. Electricity cost which includes a 15 per month billing charge and an additional amount depending on the number of kilowatt-hours used Required: 1. For each situation, describe the cost as one of the following: fixed cost, variable cost, mixed cost, or step cost. (Hint: First, consider what the driver or output measure is. If additional assumptions are necessary to support your cost type decision, be sure to write them down.) Example: Raw materials used in productionVariable cost 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Change your assumption(s) for each situation so that the cost type changes to a different cost type. List the new cost type and the changed assumption(s) that gave rise to it. Example: Raw materials used in production. Changed assumptionthe materials are difficult to obtain, and a years worth must be contracted for in advance. Now, this is a fixed cost. (This is the case with diamond sales by DeBeers Inc. to its sightholders. See the following website for information: www.keyguide.net/sightholders/.)Ethics in Action Danielle Hastings was recently hired as a cost analyst by CareNet Medical Supplies Inc. One of Danielles first assignments was to perform a net present value analysis for a new warehouse. Danielle performed the analysis and determined a present value index of 0.75. The plant manager, Jerrod Moore, is very intent on purchasing the warehouse because he believes that more storage space is needed. Jerrod asks Danielle into his office and the following conversation takes place: Jerrod: Danielle, youre new here, arent you? Danielle: Yes, I am. Jerrod: Well, Danielle, Im not at all pleased with the capital investment analysis that you performed on this new warehouse. I need that warehouse for my production. If I dont get it, where am I going to place our output? Danielle: Well, we need to get product into our customers hands. Jerrod: I agree, and we need a warehouse to do that. Danielle: My analysis does not support constructing a new warehouse. The numbers dont lie; the warehouse does not meet our investment return targets. In fact, it seems to me that purchasing a warehouse does not add much value to the business. We need to be producing product to satisfy customer orders, not to fill a warehouse. Jerrod: The headquarters people will not allow me to build the warehouse if the numbers dont add up. You know as well as I that many assumptions go into your net present value analysis. Why dont you relax some of your assumptions so that the financial savings will offset the cost? Danielle: Im willing to discuss my assumptions with you. Maybe I overlooked something. Jerrod: Good. Heres what I want you to do. I see in your analysis that you dont project greater sales as a result of the warehouse. It seems to me that if we can store more goods, then we will have more to sell. Thus, logically, a larger warehouse translates into more sales. If you incorporate this into your analysis, I think youll see that the numbers will work out. Why dont you work it through and come back with a new analysis. Im really counting on you on this one. Lets get off to a good start together and see if we can get this project accepted. What is your advice to Danielle?

If the manager allocates common costs on any objective basis discussed in this chapter, the drinks are profitable, but the pastries are not. The manager is concerned that the supervisor at corporate headquarters will drop the pastries. The manager is concerned because a relative, who is struggling to make a go of a new business, supplies pastries to the coffee shop. The manager, therefore, decides to allocate all common costs to the drinks because “Drinks can afford to absorb these costs until we get the pastries line on its feet.” After assigning all common costs to drinks, both the drinks and pastries product lines appear to be marginally profitable. Consequently, corporate headquarters decides to continue the pastries line. Required How would you recommend the manager allocate the common costs between drinks and pastries?

What can we do to boost pastry sales?David Kelley is considering the implementation of an incentive wage plan to increase productivity in his small manufacturing plant. The plant is nonunion, and employees have been compensated with only an hourly-rate plan. Julie Phelps, Vice President–Manufacturing, is concerned that the move to an incentive compensation plan will cause direct laborers to speed up production and, thus, compromise quality. Step 1 - With that information in mind, discuss the following questions. Your posting should be at least 500 words* in length. This means you should elaborate on your answers, not simply answer each question with one or two words. You should also reference information already learned in our studies. How might Kelley accomplish his goals while alleviating Phelps’ concerns? Does the compensation have to be all hourly rate or all incentives? Can incentive compensation also apply to service businesses?Cost Behavior, High-Low Method, Pricing Decision Fonseca, Ruiz, and Dunn is a large, local accounting firm located in a southwestern city.
