SUMMARY LECTURE
COSTS AND COST CONCEPTS
1. If a firm's net income does not change as its volume changes, the firm('s)
a. must be in the service industry. c. sales price must equal P0.
b. must have no fixed costs.
d. sales price must equal its variable costs.
ITEMS 2 AND 3 ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:
Castelo, Villasin and Barrera is a large, local accounting firm located in Cebu. Belle Castelo, one
of the Firm’s founders, appreciates the success her firm has enjoyed and wants to give
something back to her community. She believes that an inexpensive accounting services clinic
could provide basic accounting services for small businesses located in the province. She wants
to price the services at cost.
Since the clinic is brand new, it has no experience to go on. Belle decided to operate the clinic
for two months before determining how much to charge per hour on an ongoing basis. As a
temporary measure, the clinic adopted an hourly charge of P50, half the amount charged by
Castelo, Villasin and Barrera 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 level of
activity usage are as follows:
Professional hours
Salaries:
Senior accountant
Office assistant
Internet and software subscriptions
Consulting by senior partner
Depreciation (equipment)
Supplies
Administration
Rent (offices)

Balat Leather Works, which manufactures saddles and other leather goods, has three
departments. The Assembly Department manufactures various leather products, such as
belts, purses, and saddle bags, using automated production process.
The Saddle
Department produces handmade saddles and uses very little machinery. The Tanning
Department produces leather. The tanning process requires little in the way of labor or
machinery, but it does require space and process time. Due to the different production
processes in the three departments, the company uses three different cost drivers for the
application of manufacturing overhead. The cost drivers and overhead rates are as follows:
Cost Driver
Predetermined Overhead Rate
Tanning Department
Square-feet of leather
P3 per square-foot
Assembly Department
Machine time
P9 per machine hour
Saddle Department
Direct-labor time
P4 per direct labor hour
The company’s deluxe saddle and accessory set consists of handmade saddle, two
saddlebags, a belt, and a vest, all coordinated to match. The entire set uses 100 squarefeet of leather from the Tanning Department, 3 machine hours in the Assembly
Department, and 40 direct-labor hours in the Saddle Department. The company is
processing Job No. 20 consisting of 20 deluxe saddle and accessory sets.
How much is the applied manufacturing overhead in the Assembly Department for Job
No. 20?
a. P3,200
c. P6,000
b. P 540 ->9x3x20
d. P3,000
Assembly department = P9/machine hour x 3 machine hours x 20 sets = P540
8. If activity-based costing is implemented in an organization without any other changes
being effected, total overhead costs will
a. be reduced because of the elimination of non-value-added activities.
b. be reduced because organizational costs will not be assigned to products or services.
c. be increased because of the need for additional people to gather information on cost
drivers and cost pools.
d. remain constant and simply be spread over products differently.

management.
d. Because period costs will occur whether production occurs, it is improper
to allocate these costs to production and defer a current cost of doing
business.

c. Using variable costing, this firm will deduct no more than P16,000 for
fixed production costs.
d. If this firm produced substantially more units than it sold in the current year,
variable costing will probably yield a lower income than absorption costing.

a. treatment of fixed manufacturing overhead.
b. treatment of variable production costs.
c. acceptability for external reporting.
d. arrangement of the income statement

Clever Company, owner and operator of a chain of hotels, asked Schundel Hair Care Company
to submit a bid for 500 boxes of Shamcon. Each box will contain 24 bottles. Per Clever’s
specifications, its order should be different in chemical composition from the regular Shamcon.
According to Schundel Company’s production manager, Clever’s specifications can be met if an
additional chemical, Chem 4 would be used. Schundel Company has 60,000 ml of this
chemical. Chem 4 was used by the company in one of its brands that it decided to eliminate.
The remaining inventory of Chem 4 was not sold or discarded because it does not deteriorate
and the company has adequate space for its storage. Schundel Company can sell Chem 4 at
the prevailing market price of P0.40 per ml less P0.10/ml selling and handling costs. Clever’s
order would require 5 ml of Chem 4 per bottle.
The company has a stock of Chem 5. This was used by Schundel Hair Care for its manufacture
of another product that is no longer being produced. Chem. 5, which cannot be used in
Shamcon, can be substituted for Chem 1 on a one-for-one basis without affecting the quality of
the Clever order. There is no problem about the supply of Chem 1. At present, the company
has 20,000 ml of Chem 5 in its inventory, which has a salvage value of P6,000.
The production of the Clever’s order would require the same direct labor hours per bottle as in
the regular Shamcon. However, at present, the company has only 20,000 direct labor hours
available. The Clever order can be produced if the workers would work overtime, although an
overtime premium of 30% of the regular rate should be paid.
Schundel Hair Care Company’s policy is to price new products at 130% of full manufacturing
cost.

ITEMS 48 and 49 ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
Jane Corporation produces wood glue that is used by furniture manufacturers. The
company normally produces and sells 10,000 gallons of the glue each month. White Glue is
sold for P280 per gallon, variable costs is P168 per gallon, fixed factory overhead cost totals
P460,000 per month, and the fixed selling costs totals P620,000 per month.
Labor strikes in the furniture manufacturers that buy the bulk of White Glue have caused
the monthly sales of Jane Corporation to temporarily decrease to only 15% of its normal
monthly volume. Jane Corporation’s management expects that the strikes will last for
about 2 months, after which, sales of White Glue should return to normal. However, due
to the dramatic drop in the sales level, Jane Corporation’s management is considering to
close down its plant during the two-moth period that the strikes are on.
If Jane Corporation will temporarily shut down its operations, it is expected that the fixed
factory overhead costs can be reduced to P340,000 per month and that the fixed selling
costs can be reduced by P62,000 per month. Start-up costs at the end of the shut-down
period would total P56,000. Jane Corporation uses the JIT system, so no inventories are
on hand.
48. The shut down point in units is
a. 2,750.00. ->308,000/112
b. 9,642.86.
c. 3,250.00.
d. 1,100.00.
49. At the sales level of only 30% of the normal volume, should the company continue
operating or shut down temporarily for two months?
a. Continue, because the expected sales is above the shutdown point.
b. Shut down, because the expected sales is above the shutdown point.
c. Continue, so that the shutdown costs may be avoided.
d. Shut down, because the shutdown costs is less than the contribution margin under
continued operations.

The selling prices are P30 for Pat and P50 for Chin.
Spikey company can increase the sales of Pat with increased advertising. The extra
advertising would cost an additional P245,000, and some of the potential purchasers of Chin
would switch to Pat. In total, sales of Pat would increase by 25,000 units, and sales of Chin
would decrease by 5,000 units. This strategy would
a. increase Spikey’s total sales by P750,000.
b. decrease Spikey’s total contribution margin by P300,000.
c. increase Spikey’s total income by P55,000.
d. not affect Spikey’s total fixed costs.
