Cost Accounting -direct - overhead Horngreen, Datar, Foster Operating Budget Example Hawaii Diving expects 1,100 units to be sold during the month of August 2004. Selling price is expected to be $240 per unit. How much are budgeted revenues for the month? 1,100 × $240 = $264,000 Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Operating Budget Example Two pounds of direct materials are budgeted per unit at a cost of $2.00 per pound, $4.00 per unit. Three direct labor-hours are budgeted per unit at $7.00 per hour, $21.00 per unit. Variable overhead is budgeted at $8.00 per direct laborhour, $24.00 per unit. Fixed overhead is budgeted at $5,400 per month. Variable nonmanufacturing costs are expected to be $0.14 per revenue dollar. Fixed nonmanufacturing costs are $7,800 per month.

Lubriderm Corporation has the following budgeted sales for the next six-month period: Month June July August September October November Unit Sales 90,000 120,000 210,000 150,000 180,000 120,000 There were 30,000 units of finished goods in inventory at the beginning of June. Plans are to have an inventory of finished products that equal 20% of the unit sales for the next month. Five pounds of materials are required for each unit produced. Each pound of material costs $8. Inventory levels for materials are equal to 30% of the needs for the next month. Materials inventory on June 1 was 15,000 pounds Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster What is Kaizen? The Japanese use the term “kaizen” for continuous improvement. Kaizen budgeting is an approach that explicitly incorporates continuous improvement during the budget period into the budget numbers. Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Kaizen Budgeting A kaizen budgeting approach would incorporate future improvements.

Activity-based budgeting (ABB) focuses on the budgeted cost of activities necessary to produce and sell products and services.

Total budgeted labor-hours are: Product A: 880 × 3 Product B: 200 × 3 Total What is the allocation rate per labor-hour? 2,640 600 3,240 • $25,920 ÷ 3,240 = $8.00 Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Activity-Based Budgeting Total cost allocated to each product line: Product A: $8.00 × 2,640 = $21,120 Product B: $8.00 × 600 = $ 4,800 Under ABB, the number of setups is the cost driver. $25,920 budgeted machine setup cost ÷ 10 budgeted machine setup-hours = $2,592 allocation rate per machine setup-hour. How much machine setup related costs are allocated to each product line? Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Activity-Based Budgeting Product A $12,960 $2,592 × 5 Product B $12,960 $2,592 × 5 Setup-related cost per unit: Product A: $12,960 ÷ 880 $14.73 Product B: $12,960 ÷ 200 $64.80 Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster What is a Responsibility Center? It is any part, segment, or subunit of a business that needs control. – production – service Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Types of Responsibility Centers Cost Center Profit Center Investment Center Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster What is Controllability? It is the degree of influence that a specific manager has over costs, revenues, or other items in question. A controllable cost is any cost that is primarily subject to the influence of a given responsibility center manager for a given time period. Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Controllability Responsibility accounting focuses on information and knowledge, not control. A responsibility accounting system could exclude all uncontrollable costs from a manager’s performance report. In practice, controllability is difficult to pinpoint. Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Human aspects of Budgeting Budgeting should not be considered as a „mechanical tool“ Quality of the budget depends on the information that is fed into the process There are incentives for dishonest reports • Budgetary slack • Empire building Management aims to ensure honest reporting by lower level management • Via appropriate performance measures • Monitoring Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster True or False ??? A budget that covers the financial aspects is a qualitative expression of a proposed plan of action by management for a specified period. The master budget reflects the impact of only operating decisions. Feedback in the budgeting process may cause a firm to alter its strategies and plans. Statistical analysis should be the only input used to forecast sales. Sensitivity analysis allows managers to see how results will change if predicted data are not achieved or an underlying assumption changes. Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Pick your Choice I: When a budget is administered wisely, it will • discourage strategic planning. • provide a framework for performance evaluation. • discourage managers and employees. • eliminate coordination and communication between subunits. If a firm is using activity-based budgeting, the firm would use this in place of which of the following budgets? • • • • Direct materials budget Revenue budget Direct labor budget Manufacturing overhead budget Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Pick your Choice II: BDH Corporation, which makes only one product, Kisty, has the following information available for the coming year. BDH expects sales to be 30,000 units at $50 per unit. The current inventory of Kisty is 3,000 units. BDH wants an ending inventory of 3,500 units. Each unit of Kisty takes two units of component L. Component L is budgeted to cost $12 per unit. Current inventory of L is 4,000 units. BDH wants 6,000 units of L on hand at the end of the next year. How much will the direct materials budget show as the cost of materials to be purchased? • $330,000 • $390,000 • $684,000 • $756,000 Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster Who Gets the Money? New York Post, April 29, 2001 In the above-cited article, ABC and its parent company, Walt Disney Company, say that the show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," is the most profitable television show ever - generating almost $1 billion in revenue in a little less than two years on the air. Each individual show costs about $700,000 to produce, including prize money and host Regis Philbin's salary. Each show earns $2 million in advertising revenue. The rights to air Millionaire are also sold to Canada for $250,000 per episode. The Millionaire show also sells a CD-ROM game for $20. About 4 million of these games have been sold. There is also an on-line version of the game that Millionaire fans can play. Users of the game don't pay, but each "hit" is noted when advertising space is sold for the site. The article also points out that Disney also sells hats and t-shirts of the game, and markets a special version of "Millionaire" to corporations that can be played at conventions by employees and clients. Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster “Who Gets the Money?“ - Questions 1. The Millionaire show itself generates about $1.3 million per episode in net income ($2 million in revenue, $700,000 in expenses.) Give a reason why this should be considered a profit center for evaluating a manager's performance. 2. Do you think that one manager has responsibility for the Millionaire show, as a profit center, or is it divided as a cost center and as a revenue center? 3. Should the ancillaries of the show (the t-shirts, CD-ROM, etc.) be evaluated as a profit center, cost center or revenue center? Why? Cost Accounting Horngreen, Datar, Foster
