Cost Concepts and Behavior
Solutions to Review Questions
2-1.
Cost is a more general term that refers to a sacrifice of resources and may be either an
opportunity cost or an outlay cost. An expense is an outlay cost charged against sales
revenue in a particular accounting period and usually pertains only to external financial
reports.
2-2.
Product costs are those costs that are attributed to units of production, while period
costs are all other costs and are attributed to time periods.
2-3.
Outlay costs are those costs that represent a past, current, or future cash outlay.
Opportunity cost is the value of what is given up by choosing a particular alternative.
2-4.
Common examples include the value forgone because of lost sales by producing low
quality products or substandard customer service. For another example, consider a firm
operating at capacity. In this case, a sale to one customer precludes a sale to another
customer.
2-5.
Yes. The costs associated with goods sold in a period are not expected to result in
future benefits. They provided sales revenue for the period in which the goods were
sold; therefore, they are expensed for financial accounting purposes.
2-6.
The costs associated with goods sold are a product cost for a manufacturing firm. They
are the costs associated with the product and recorded in an inventory account until the
product is sold.

2-7.
Both accounts represent the cost of the goods acquired from an outside supplier, which
include all costs necessary to ready the goods for sale (in merchandising) or production
(in manufacturing).
The merchandiser expenses these costs as the product is sold, as no additional costs
are incurred. The manufacturer transforms the purchased materials into finished goods
and charges these costs, along with conversion costs to production (work in process
inventory). These costs are expensed when the finished goods are sold.
2-8.
Direct materials: Materials in their raw or unconverted form, which become an integral
part of the finished product are considered direct materials. In some
cases, materials are so immaterial in amount that they are considered
part of overhead.
Direct labor:
Costs associated with labor engaged in manufacturing activities.
Sometimes this is considered as the labor that is actually responsible for
converting the materials into finished product. Assembly workers,
cutters, finishers and similar โhands onโ personnel are classified as
direct labor.
Manufacturing All other costs directly related to product manufacture. These costs
overhead:
include the indirect labor and materials, costs related to the facilities and
equipment required to carry out manufacturing operations, supervisory
costs, and all other support activities.
2-9.
Gross margin is the difference between revenue (sales) and cost of goods sold.
Contribution margin is the difference between revenue (sales) and variable cost.
2-10.
Contribution margin is likely to be more important, because it reflects better how profits
will change with decisions.
2-11.
Step costs change with volume in steps, such as when supervisors are added.
Semivariable or mixed costs have elements of both fixed and variable costs. Utilities
and maintenance are often mixed costs.
2-12.
Total variable costs change in direct proportion to a change in volume (within the
relevant range of activity). Total fixed costs do not change as volume changes (within
the relevant range of activity).

2-13.
A value income statement typically uses a contribution margin framework, because the
contribution margin framework is more useful for managerial decision-making. In
addition, it splits out value-added and non value-added costs. Therefore, it differs in two
ways from the gross margin income statement: classifying costs by behavior and
highlighting value-added and non value-added costs. It differs from the contribution
margin income statement by highlighting the value-added and non value-added costs.
2-14.
A value income statement is useful to managers, because it provides information that is
useful for them in identifying and eliminating non value-added activities.

Solutions to Critical Analysis and Discussion Questions
2-15.
The statement is not true. Materials can be direct or indirect. Indirect materials include
items such as lubricating oil, gloves, paper supplies, and so on. Similarly, indirect labor
includes plant supervision, maintenance workers, and others not directly associated
with the production of the product.
2-16.
No. Statements such as this almost always refer to the full cost per unit, which includes
fixed and variable costs. Therefore, multiplying the cost per seat-mile by the number of
miles is unlikely to give a useful estimate of flying one passenger. We should multiply
the variable cost per mile by 1,980 miles to estimate the costs of flying a passenger
from Detroit to Los Angeles.
2-17.
Marketing and administrative costs are treated as period costs and expensed for
financial accounting purposes in both manufacturing and merchandising organizations.
However, for decision making or assessing product profitability, marketing and
administrative costs that can be reasonably associated with the product (productspecific advertising, for example) are just as important as the manufacturing costs.
2-18.
There is no โcorrectโ answer to this allocation problem. Common allocation procedures
would include: (1) splitting the costs equally (25% each), (2) dividing the costs by the
miles driven and charging based on the miles each person rides, (3) charging the
incremental costs of the passengers (almost nothing), assuming you were going to drive
to Texas anyway.
2-19.
The costs will not change. Your allocation in 2-18 was not โincorrect,โ because the
purpose of the allocation is not to determine incremental costs.
2-20.
Answers will vary. The major cost categories include servers (mostly fixed), personnel
(mostly fixed), and licensing costs (mostly variable).

2-21.
Answers will vary. The major cost categories include servers (mostly fixed), personnel
(mostly fixed), and legal costs (mostly fixed). There are only small variable costs for
Uber or Lyft. For the drivers, the costs of the vehicle and technology are mostly fixed.
Vehicle operating expenses (fuel and maintenance) are mostly variable.
2-22.
Direct material costs include the cost of supplies and medicine. One possible direct
labor cost would be nursing staff assigned to the unit. Indirect costs include the costs of
hospital administration, depreciation on the building, security costs, and so on.
2-23.
Answers will vary. Common suggestions are number of students in each program,
usage (cafeteria: meals; library: study rooms reserved; or career placement: interviews,
for example), assuming usage is measured, or revenue (tuition dollars).
2-24.
No, R&D costs are relevant for many decisions. For example, should a program of
research be continued? Was a previous R&D project profitable? Should we change our
process of approving R&D projects? R&D costs are expensed (currently) for financial
reporting, but for managerial decision-making the accounting treatment is not relevant.
2-25.
This question can create a good discussion of the different roles of financial and
managerial accounting. An important issue is identifying the activities that are non
value-added. These are almost certainly better known to the managers of the firm than
to outsiders. These costs are also difficult to measure, meaning there are many different
โreasonableโ numbers that might be reported. Because managers have an interest in
reporting favorable numbers (however favorable is defined), there is a potential for
managerial bias in the reports.
A second reason is that most firms would be concerned about revealing potentially
valuable competitive information.

False. The statement refers to an expense. For example, R&D costs are incurred
in expectation of future benefits.
False. Variable costs can be direct (direct materials) or indirect (lubricating oil for
machines that produce multiple products.)
True. Each unit of a product has the same amount of direct material (same cost
per unit), but producing more units requires more material (and more cost).

2-33. (15 min.) Cost AllocationโEthical Issues
This problem is based on the experience of the authorsโ research at several companies.
a. Answers will vary as there are several defensible bases on which to allocate the
product development costs. As an example, many government-purchasing contracts
are based on the cost of the product or service. In this case, using expected sales
(units or revenue) leads to a potential circularity. Price depends on cost, which
depends on sales, which depends on price.
b. The company has an incentive to allocate as much cost as possible to government
sales. This cost will be reimbursed (and the government may be less pricesensitive). Of course, the government recognizes this and has detailed allocation
guidelines in place and an agency (the Defense Contract Audit Agency) that
monitors contracts and the allocation of costs.
2-34. (15 min.) Cost AllocationโEthical Issues
This problem is based on the experience of the authorsโ research at several companies.
a. Answers will vary as there are several defensible bases on which to allocate the
common costs. One possibility is relative sales revenue. (We ignore here whether
we should allocate these costs, something we discuss in chapter 4.)
b. You should explain to Star that you cannot agree with the allocation basis, especially
given the reason for selecting the basis. If this fails to persuade Star, you should
disclose to Starโs boss your disagreement with the analysis and the relation between
Star and the vendor.

a. Given
b. $120,000 = 20% x $600,000.
c. To find the cost of services sold plus marketing and administrative costs, start with
the operating profit (b). Then cost of services plus marketing and administrative costs is
$480,000 (= $600,000 โ $120,000). But, marketing and administrative costs equal 25%
of cost of services sold, so,
Cost of services sold + marketing and administrative costs = $480,000 and
Marketing and adminstrative costs = .25 x Cost of services sold.
Combining these equations yields,
1.25 x Cost of services sold = $480,000
or cost of services sold = $384,000 (= $480,000 รท 1.25).
d. $216,000 = $600,000 โ $384,000.

customers. Ralph can take steps to ensure that food is used prior to the expiration
date, either by changing scheduling or purchasing procedures. He can also spend
time training staff to take orders more carefully. Preparing a Year 3 statement helps
Ralph see whether the company is improving in reducing nonvalue-added activities.

b. As the number of units increases (reflected in the denominator), fixed manufacturing
cost per unit (and the total cost per unit) decreases. The numerator (i.e., total fixed
costs) remains the same. However, that does not mean Columbia should produce
more units. That decision should be based on the total profits (revenues minus
costs), not on unit profits.

c. Answers will vary. This problem illustrates that cost allocation can have an important
effect on decisions when the allocated costs are used as if they are actual costs. In
the current example, the proposed allocation approach allows the company to
compete with other haulers for business customers because they maintain a
monopoly on the household business.

Note: This problem is challenging, because there is no indication of how to begin or the
order in which to solve for the unknowns.
We begin by computing the following unit costs:
Manufacturing cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $5.00 + $6.25 + $15.75 = $27.00
Full cost per unit = Manufacturing cost per unit + Selling, general & administrative
= $27.00 + $12.00 = $39.00
a. Direct material inventory (pounds) = Direct material inventory (cost) รท Cost per pound

= Sales revenue โ Full costs
$55,200 = $414,000 โ Full costs
Full costs = $414,000 โ $55,200 = $358,800
Full costs = Units sold x Full cost per unit
$358,800 = Units sold x $39.00
Units sold = $358,800 รท $39.00
= 9,200 units sold
d. Sales revenue = Selling price per unit x Units sold
$414,000 = Selling price per unit x 9,200 units sold
Selling price per unit = $414,000 รท 9,200
= $45.00
e. Finished goods ending (units) = Finished goods beginning (units) + Units produced
โ Units sold
400 = 0 + Units produced โ 9,200
Units produced = 9,200 + 400 = 9,600
f. Direct labor cost incurred = Direct-labor hours worked x Wage rate per hour
Direct labor cost incurred = Units produced x Direct labor cost per unit
= 9,600 x $6.25 = $60,000
$60,000 = Direct-labor hours worked x $20.00
