Transcript: Non Value Added Activites Activity Possible Activity Drivers Not willing to pay Moving Materials Inspecting Components Value Added Activites Number of defective units - An incentive is created for workers to increase efficiency and reduce waste. - This behavior is beneficial to the company as it helps to reduce their costs in buying materials for the product. Warranty hours - An incentive is created where workers are given a limited time to fix the defective parts and if they exceed the time limit, action will be taken. - This behavior is beneficial as workers will focus on their work and reduce waste, thus reduce the expenses of the business. Activity Value Justification Following are the 5 activities with possible activity drivers:- For setting up equipment Root Causes and Improvements Combining processes, locating work places closer. Defect-free Materials from Suppliers or Improved Employee Training. Activity Possible Activity Drivers Setting up equipment Setup time, Number of setups Performing warranty work Warranty hours, Number of defective parts Welding subassemblies Welding hours, Subassemblies welded Moving materials Number of moves, Distance moved Inspecting components Hours of inspection, Number of defective components Long set up time required. Defect Materials or Improper Employee Training. Long time for welding completion. For inspecting components For moving materials Problem 12-18 Joseph Fox Describe the behavior that each activity driver will encourage, and evaluate the suitability of that behavior for the company's objective of becoming more competitive In charge of a project to install an activity-based cost management system Assessing Value Content Inefficient Process Design. Inability to produce a good quality product Value Added Non Value Added Value Added Non Value Added Non Value Added For each activity, assess the value content and classify each activity as value-added or non-value-added (justify the classification). Identify some possible root causes of each activity, and describe how this knowledge can be used to improve activity performance. For purposes of discussion, assume that the value-added activities are not performed with perfect efficiency. 4 Manufacturing Process (Change of state). Possible to prevent warranty if production was done properly. Manufacturing Process (Change of state). Waste of time and resources for moving of materials. Only checks state of product (Change of state) Barizah Mustapa & Chua Cze Jia And also under the conditions:- setup time - An incentive is created for workers to reduce setup time up to zero. - Beneficial to the company as it reduces their costs in terms of paying the workers' overtime payments. Number of setups - An incentive is created where each worker will have a fixed number of setups. - Beneficial to the company as it improves efficiency and in a way, motivates the employees in terms of giving trust and responsibility. 1 Value or Non Value Added Activity Setting Up Equipment Performing Warranty Work Welding Subassemblies 3 Number of defective components - An incentive is created such as giving rewards so that the workers will try to work efficiently. - This will reduce the number of defective products to be produced. Hence, this beneficial behavior will reduce the costs in terms of inspecting the products. Hours of inspection - An incentive is created where there will be a limit for the number of hours for inspection for each month. - This will reduce the business' expenses in terms of paying workers to do the inspection. Number of moves - An incentive is created where the managers can plan a schedule of moving the products to the same and near-by place. - This will reduce the transportation cost in terms of fuel and at the same time, improve the efficiency of the company, thus, this behavior is beneficial to the company Distance moved - An incentive is created where the company will limit the number of kilometers drive for each month. - This will also reduce the transportation costs in terms of fuel, hence, this is beneficial to the company. Thank you for listening Change of state Change of state not possible with previous activities Enable other activity to be preformed Activity Root Causes Improvements What is the difference between an activity driver and a cost driver? In answering the question, describe the purpose of each type of driver For welding subassemblies Joseph and project committee are focusing on 3 additional implementation issues:- Identifying activity drivers Assessing value content Identifying cost drivers (root causes) 5 Welding hours - An incentive is created where workers will try to reduce the welding hours up to zero. - This behavior is beneficial to the company as it also reduces their costs in terms of paying the workers' overtime payments. Subassemblies welded - An incentive is created where there will only be a selected amount of product to be welded. - Beneficial to the company as it saves time and reduce

Transcript: By: Laura Sofia Ruiz Gonzalez Leidy Johana Palacios Ospina Cost accounting systems ACCOUNTING COST ACCOUNTING COSTS BRANCH OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING WHICH IS RELATED TO THE ACCUMULATION AND THE ANALYSIS OF COST INFORMATION FOR INTERNAL USE IN THE VALUATION OF INVENTORIES. PLANNING, CONTROL AND DECISION MAKING SYNTHESIZES AND REGISTER THE COSTS OF A COMPANY SO THAT THEY CAN BE ME ASURED AND CONTROL. THE RESULTS OF EACH ONE OF THEM THROUGH THE OBTAINING OF TOTAL AND UNIT COSTS. MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING Is the information system designed to meet the internal needs of the company. Facilitates decision making and measurement of actions of the elements of the organization in relation to the plans and budgets established by it. HISTORY OF COST The emergence of cost accounting can be found before the Industrial Revolution. This cost system was used by some European industries between the years 1485 and 1509. In 1778, auxiliary books began to be used in all the items related to the cost of the products, such as wages, work materials and delivery dates. HISTORY OF COST DEVELOPMENT Approximately between the years 1890 and 1915, cost accounting managed to consolidate an important development, since it designed its basic structure, integrated the cost records into the accounts in countries such as England and the United States, and opted concepts such as: establishments of procedures for the distribution of indirect manufacturing costs, adaptation of reports and records for internal and external users, valuation of inventories, and estimation of costs of materials and labor. ACCOUNTING AS A TOOL The accounting began to be understood as a planning and control tool, which demanded the need to create new ways to anticipate the simple historical economic facts. Some reasons that show it are: The development of the railways. The value of the fixed assets used by the companies that made appear the need to control the indirect costs. The size and complexity of companies in addition to the difficulties administrative problems they faced. The need to have a reliable tool that allowed them to set sale prices. CLASSIFICATION OF COST CLASSIFICATION OF COST ACCORDING TO THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE CONSUMEN PRODUCTION COSTS DISTRIBUTION COSTS ADMINISTRATION COSTS FINANCING COSTS ACCORDING TO YOUR IDENTIFICATION DIRECT INDIRECT ACCORDING TO THE MOMENT IN WHICH IT IS CALCULATED HISTORICAL PREDETERMINED ACCORDING TO THE MOMENT IN WHICH THE RESULTS ARE REFLECTED PERIOD COSTS PRODUCT COSTS ACCORDING TO THE CONTROL YOU HAVE OVER YOUR CONSUMED CONTROLLABLE COSTS UNCONTROLLABLE COSTS ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF PAYMENT IN WHICH IT INCURS DISBURSABLE COSTS OPORTUNITY COSTS ACCORDING TO YOUR BEHAVIOR FIXED COSTS VARIABLE COSTS SEMI-VARIABLE COSTS MIXED COSTS STAGGERED Cost accounting system: JOB ORDER COSTING IS A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM THAT ACCUMULATES MANUFACTURING COSTS SEPARATELY FOR EACH JOB. IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR FIRMS THAT ARE ENGAGED IN PRODUCTION OF UNIQUE PRODUCTS AND SPECIAL ORDERS. FOR EXAMPLE, IT IS THE COSTING ACCOUNTING SYSTEM MOST APPROPRIATE FOR AN EVENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY, A FURNITURE PRODUCER, A PRODUCER OF VERY HIGH COST AIR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, ETC. FEATURES OF JOB COSTING A) IT IS A SPECIFIC ORDER COSTING. B) THE JOB IS CARRIED OUT OR A PRODUCT IS PRODUCED TO MEET THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF THE ORDER. IT MAY BE RELATED TO SINGLE UNIT OR A BATCH OF SIMILAR UNITS. C) IT IS CONCERNED WITH THE COST OF AN INDIVIDUAL JOB OR BATCH REGARDLESS OF THE TIME TAKEN TO PRODUCE IT, BUT NORMALLY SHORT DURATION JOBS. D) COSTS ARE COLLECTED TO EACH JOB AT THE END OF ITS COMPLETION. THE END OF THE ACCOUNTING PERIOD. E) THE COSTS OF EACH JOB ARE ASCERTAINED BY ADDING MATERIALS, LABOR AND OVERHEADS. F) ONLY PRIME COST ELEMENTS ARE TRACEABLE, AND THE OVERHEADS ARE APPORTIONED TO EACH JOB ON SOME APPROPRIATE BASIS AND SOMETIMES IT IS DIFFICULT TO SELECT A SUITABLE METHOD OF ABSORPTION OF OVERHEADS TO INDIVIDUAL JOBS. G) STANDARDIZATION OF CONTROLS IS COMPARATIVELY DIFFICULT AS EACH JOB DIFFERS, AND MORE DETAILED SUPERVISION AND CONTROL IS NECESSARY. H) WORK-IN-PROGRESS MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST AT THE END OF THE ACCOUNTING PERIOD. * JOB ORDER COSTING OFFERS A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE COSTS OF MATERIALS, LABOR COST AND OVERHEADS BY FUNCTIONS AND NATURE. * JOB ORDER COSTING MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO APPRAISE THE PROFITABILITY OF A JOB. * JOB ORDER COSTING FACILITATES THE ESTIMATION OF THE COST OF A SIMILAR JOB. * JOB ORDER COSTING ALLOCATES OVERHEADS ON THE BASIS OF A PREDETERMINED RATE. * JOB ORDER COSTING MAKES EASY TO IDENTIFY SPOILAGE AND DEFECTS TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. * JOB ORDER COSTING EVALUATES EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF JOBS WITH COST RECORDS BY USING STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES. ADVANTAGES OF JOB ORDER COSTING * JOB ORDER COSTING NEEDS A GREAT DEAL OF CLERICAL WORK IN RECORDING MATERIAL ISSUE, WAGE COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT AND OVERHEAD CHARGES. * ASCERTAINMENT OF OVERHEAD RATE NEEDS ALLOCATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF THE OVERHEADS
