ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS1.(a)Disagree. Managerial accounting is a field of accounting that provides economic and financialinformation for managers and other internal users.(b)Joeis incorrect. Managerial accounting applies to all types of businesses—service, merchandising,and manufacturing.2.(a)Financial accounting is concerned primarily with external users such as stockholders, creditors,and regulators. In contrast, managerial accounting is concerned primarily with internal users suchas officers and managers.(b)Financial statements are the end product of financial accounting. The statements arepreparedquarterly and annually. In managerial accounting, internal reports may be prepared as frequentlyas needed
.(c)The purpose of financial accounting is to providegeneral-purpose information for all users.The purpose of managerial accounting is to provide special-purpose information forspecificdecisions.3.Differences in the content of the reports are as follows:FinancialManagerialPertains to business as a whole and is highlyaggregated.Limited to double-entry accounting and costdata.Generally accepted accounting principles.
Pertains tosubunits of the business andmay be very detailed.Extends beyond double-entry accountingsystem to any relevant data.Standard is relevance to decisions.In financial accounting, financial statements are verified annually through an independent auditby certified public accountants. There are no independent audits of internal reports issued bymanagerial accountants.4.Budgets are prepared by companies to provide future direction. Because the budget is also usedas an evaluation tool, some managers try to game the budgeting process by underestimatingtheir divisionʼs predicted performance so that it will be easier tomeet their performance targets.On the other hand, if the budget is set at unattainable levels, managers sometimes take unethicalactions to meet targets to receive higher compensation or in some cases to keep their jobs.5.Linda should know that the ma
nagement of an organization performs three broad functions:(1)Planningrequires management to look ahead and to establish objectives.(2)Directinginvolves coordinating the diverse activities and human resources of a company toproduce a smooth-running operation.(3)Controllingis the process of keeping the companyʼs activities on track.6.Disagree. Decision making is not a separate management function. Rather, decision making involvesthe exercise of good judgment in performing the three management functions explained in theanswer to question five above.7.Employees with line positions are directly involved in the companyʼs primary revenue generatingoperating activities. Examples would include plant managers and supervisors, and the vice presidentof operations. In contrast, employees with staff positions are not directly involved inrevenue-generating operating activities, but rather serve in a support capacity to line employees. Examplesin
clude employees in finance, legal, and human resources.
dingmerchandise inventory = cost of goods sold.10.The difference in balance sheets pertains to the presentation of inventories in the current assetsection. In a merchandising company, only merchandise inventory is shown. In a manufacturingcompany, three inventory accounts are shown: finished goods, work in process, and raw materials.11.Manufacturing costs are classified as either direct materials, direct labor, or manufacturing overhead.12.No, Mel is not correct. The distinction between direct and indirect materials is based on two criteria:(1) physical association and (2) the convenience of making the physical association. Materials whichcannot be easily associated with the finished product are considered indirect materials.13.Product costs, or inventoriable costs, are costs that are a necessary and integral part of producing
the finished product. Period costs are costs that are identified with a specific time period ratherthan with a salable product. These costs relate to nonmanufacturing costs and therefore are notinventoriable costs.14.A merchandising company has beginning merchandise inventory, cost of goods purchased, andending merchandise inventory. A manufacturing company has beginning finished goods inventory,cost of goods manufactured, and ending finished goods inventory.15.(a)X = total cost of work in process.(b)X = cost of goods manufactured.16.Raw materials inventory, beginning.......................................................................$12,000Raw materials purchases.......................................................................................170,000

immediately; the product is not put into inventory. Meals at a restaurant are the best examplewhere they are consumed immediately by the customer. There could be a long lead time beforethe product is consumed in a manufacturing environment.21.Yes, product costing techniques apply equally well to manufacturers and service companies. Eachneeds to keep track of the cost of services in order to know whether it is generating a profit. Thetechniques shown in this chapter, toaccumulate manufacturing costs to determine manufacturinginventory, are equally useful for determining the cost of services.22.The value chain refers to all activities associated with providing a product or service. For a manufac-turer, these includeresearch and development, product design, acquisition of raw materials, production,sales and marketing, delivery, customer relations, and subsequent service.23.An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is an integrated software system that providesacomprehensive, centralized resource for information. Its primary benefits are that it replaces themany individual systems typically used for receivables, payables, inventory, human resources,etc. Also, it can be used to get information from, and provide information to, the companyʼs customersand suppliers.
24.In a just-in-time inventory system the company has no extra inventory stored. Consequently, ifsome units that are produced are defective, the company will not have enough units to deliver tocustomers.25.The balanced scorecard is called “balanced” because it strives to not over emphasize any oneperformance measure, but rather uses both financial and non-financial measures to evaluate allaspects of a companyʼs operations in an integratedfashion.26.Activity-based costing is an approach used to allocate overhead based on each productʼs relativeuse of activitiesin making the product. Activity-based costing is beneficial because it results inmore accurate product costing andin more careful scrutiny of all activities in the value chain.*27.
The accounting cycle for a manufacturing company is the same as for a merchandising companywhen a periodic inventory system is used.*28.The account balances carried into the cost of goods manufactured columns are beginning andending work in process and raw materials inventories, raw materials purchases, direct labor,indirect labor, factory repairs, factory utilities, factory depreciation, and factory insurance.*29.(a)The closing entry forthe two inventories is:Dec. 31Work in Process Inventory.....................................................XXRaw Materials Inventory.........................................................XXManufacturing Summary................................................XX(b)

CEOs and CFOs must now certify thatfinancial statements give a fair presentation of the companyʼs operatingresults and its financial condition. In addition, top managers must certifythat the company maintains an adequate system of internal controls tosafeguard the companyʼs assets and ensure accurate financial reports. Also,
more attention is now paid to the composition of the companyʼs board ofdirectors. In particular, the audit committee of the board of directors mustbe comprised entirely of independent members (that is, non-employees) andmust contain at least one financial expert. Finally, to increase the likelihoodof compliance with these and other new rules, the penalties for misconductwere substantially increased.BRIEF EXERCISE 14-3(a)1.Planning.(b)2.Directing.(c)3.Controlling.

BYP 14-5 (Continued)I have also modified the form of the income statement to recognize thedis-tinction between product costs (cost of goods sold) and period costs (operatingexpenses) as required by generally accepted accountingprinciples.Thanks for letting me help. If I can be of further assistance, donʼt hesitate
to call. I hope you find a replacement for your controller soon.Sincerely,
BYP 14-7ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITYStudent responses will vary. We have provided some basic examples thatmay represent common responses.(a)Individuals must often make purchase decisions which involve choosingbetween an item that has a more expensive initial purchase price, butis expected to either last longer, or provides some form of cost savings.
The question that the individual faces is whether the cost savings oradditional benefit justifies the additional initial cost. For example, moreexpensive dishwashers and refrigerators also tend to be more energyefficient. The labels on these appliances provide information regardingthe energy savings which can be used to make a break-evenevaluation.(b)In order to increase control over their financial situation and reducethe probability of financial hardship all people should prepare personalbudgets. Preparation of a personal budget requires the individual to planforthe future andto prioritize expenditures.(c)
Companies employ the balanced scorecard as a mechanism to ensurethat their financial goals are consistent with their efforts. Use of thebalanced scorecard requires clear articulation of goals, priorities, andstrategies.By employing these same techniques in their everyday life indi-viduals can be better assured that they will expend effort on those thingsthat reallymatter to them, rather than wasting efforts on less importantdistractions.(d)Capital budgeting involves financial evaluation of long-term assets. Compa-nies routinely make capital budgeting decisions, but so doindividuals.
The purchase of a home or car is a decision that has implicationsfor yourfinances for many subsequent years. Buying a house or car is averypersonal decision, influenced by many personal, nonfinancial, preferences.However, these decisions should also be subjected to a financialevaluation using capital budgeting techniques to ensure that the choicemakes good economic sense.
