Processing Departments
Any unit in an organization where materials, labor,
or overhead are added to the product.
The activities performed in a processing
department are performed uniformly on all
units of production. Furthermore, the output of
a processing department must be homogeneous.
Products in a process costing environment
typically flow in a sequence from one department
to another.

Equivalent Units of Production
Equivalent units are the
product of the number
of partially completed
units and the
percentage completion
of those units.
These partially completed units complicate the
determination of a department’s output for a given
period and the unit cost that should be assigned to
that output.
4-10
Equivalent Units – The Basic Idea
Two half-completed products are
equivalent to one complete product.
+
=
1
So, 10,000 units 70% complete
are equivalent to 7,000 complete units.
4-11
Equivalent Units of Production
Weighted-Average Method
The weighted-average method . . .
1. Makes no distinction between work done in prior
or current periods.
2. Blends together units and costs from prior and
current periods.
3. Determines equivalent units of production for a
department by adding together the number of
units transferred out plus the equivalent units in
ending Work in Process Inventory.

FIFO vs. Weighted-Average Method
The FIFO method (generally considered more
accurate than the weighted-average method) differs
from the weighted-average method in two ways:
1. The computation of equivalent units.
2. The way in which the costs of beginning
inventory are treated.
4-16
Cost per Equivalent Unit – FIFO
The formula for computing the cost per
equivalent unit under FIFO method is:
Cost per
equivalent =
unit
Cost added during the period
Equivalent units of production
4-17
A Comparison of Costing Methods
In a lean production environment, FIFO and
weighted-average methods yield similar
unit costs.
When considering cost control, FIFO is
superior to weighted-average because it
does not mix costs of the current period with
costs of the prior period.

Basics of Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
The contribution income statement is helpful to managers
in judging the impact on profits of changes in selling price,
cost, or volume. The emphasis is on cost behavior.

Contribution Margin Ratio (CM Ratio)
If Racing Bicycle increases sales from 400 to 500 bikes ($50,000),
contribution margin will increase by $20,000 ($50,000 × 40%).

A $50,000 increase in sales revenue results in a $20,000
increase in CM ($50,000 × 40% = $20,000).

Break-Even in Unit Sales:
Equation Method
Profits = Unit CM × Q – Fixed expenses
Suppose RBC wants to know how many
bikes must be sold to break-even
(earn a target profit of $0).
$0 = $200 × Q + $80,000
Profits are zero at the break-even point.

Break-Even in Dollar Sales:
Equation Method
Suppose Racing Bicycle wants to compute
the sales dollars required to break-even (earn
a target profit of $0). Let’s use the equation
method to solve this problem.
Profit = CM ratio × Sales – Fixed expenses
Solve for the unknown “Sales.”

The Margin of Safety in Dollars
The margin of safety in dollars is the excess
of budgeted (or actual) sales over the
break-even volume of sales.
Margin of safety in dollars = Total sales – Break-even sales
Let’s look at Racing Bicycle Company and
determine the margin of safety.
5-13
The Margin of Safety in Dollars
If we assume that RBC has actual sales of
$250,000, given that we have already determined
the break-even sales to be $200,000, the margin
of safety is $50,000 as shown.

Summary of Key Insights
6-11
Explaining Changes in Net Operating
Income
Variable costing income is only affected by
changes in unit sales. It is not affected by
the number of units produced. As a general
rule, when sales go up, net operating
income goes up, and vice versa.
Absorption costing income is influenced by
changes in unit sales and units of
production. Net operating income can be
increased simply by producing more units
even if those units are not sold.
6-12
Keys to Segmented Income
Statements
There are two keys to building
segmented income statements:
A contribution format should be used
because it separates fixed from variable
costs and it enables the calculation of a
contribution margin.
Traceable fixed costs should be separated
from common fixed costs to enable the
calculation of a segment margin.
6-13
Identifying Traceable Fixed Costs
Traceable fixed costs arise because of the existence of
a particular segment and would disappear over time if
the segment itself disappeared.
No computer
division means . . .
No computer
division manager.
6-14
Identifying Common Fixed Costs
Common fixed costs arise because of the
overall operation of the company and would
not disappear if any particular segment were
eliminated.
No computer
division but . . .
We still have a
company president.
6-15
Traceable Costs Can Become
Common Costs
It is important to realize that the traceable
fixed costs of one segment may be a
common fixed cost of another segment.
For example, the landing fee
paid to land an airplane at an
airport is traceable to the
particular flight, but it is not
traceable to first-class,
business-class, and
economy-class passengers.
6-16
Segment Margin
Profits
The segment margin, which is computed by subtracting the
traceable fixed costs of a segment from its contribution
margin, is the best gauge of the long-run profitability of a
segment.
Time
6-17
Common Costs and Segments
Common costs should not be arbitrarily allocated to segments
based on the rationale that “someone has to cover the
common costs” for two reasons:
1. This practice may make a profitable business segment appear
to be unprofitable.
2. Allocating common fixed costs forces managers to be held
accountable for costs they cannot control.

The Basic Framework of Budgeting
A budget is a detailed quantitative plan for
acquiring and using financial and other resources
over a specified forthcoming time period.
1. The act of preparing a budget is called
budgeting.
2. The use of budgets to control an
organization’s activities is known
as budgetary control.
7-2
Planning and Control
Planning –
Control –
involves developing
objectives and
preparing various
budgets to achieve
those objectives.
involves the steps taken by
management to increase
the likelihood that the
objectives set down while
planning are attained and
that all parts of the
organization are working
together toward that goal.

Choosing the Budget Period
Operating Budget
2011
2012
Operating budgets ordinarily
cover a one-year period
corresponding to a company’s
fiscal year. Many companies
divide their annual budget
into four quarters.

A continuous budget is a
12-month budget that rolls

as the current month (or quarter)
is completed.

A self-imposed budget or participative budget is a budget that is
prepared with the full cooperation and participation of managers
at all levels.
7-7
Advantages of Self-Imposed Budgets
1. Individuals at all levels of the organization are viewed as
members of the team whose judgments are valued by top
management.
2. Budget estimates prepared by front-line managers are
often more accurate than estimates prepared by top
managers.
3. Motivation is generally higher when individuals participate
in setting their own goals than when the goals are
imposed from above.
4. A manager who is not able to meet a budget imposed
from above can claim that it was unrealistic. Self-imposed
budgets eliminate this excuse.
7-8
Self-Imposed Budgets
Self-imposed budgets should be reviewed
by higher levels of management to
prevent “budgetary slack.”
Most companies issue broad guidelines in
terms of overall profits or sales. Lowerlevel managers are directed to prepare
budgets that meet those targets.
7-9
Human Factors in Budgeting
The success of a budget program depends on three
important factors:
1.Top management must be enthusiastic and
committed to the budget process.
2.Top management must not use the budget to
pressure employees or blame them when
something goes wrong.
3.Highly achievable budget targets are usually
preferred when managers are rewarded based on
meeting budget targets.

regardless of the hours worked.
• For the next three months, the direct labor workforce will be
paid for a minimum of 1,500 hours per month.

Selling and Administrative Expense
Budget
• At Royal, the selling and administrative expense budget is
divided into variable and fixed components.
• The variable selling and administrative expenses are $0.50
per unit sold.
• Fixed selling and administrative expenses are $70,000 per
month.
• The fixed selling and administrative expenses include $10,000
in costs – primarily depreciation – that are not cash outflows
of the current month.
Let’s prepare the company’s selling and administrative
expense budget.

Format of the Cash Budget
The cash budget is divided into four sections:
1. Cash receipts section lists all cash inflows excluding cash
received from financing;
2. Cash disbursements section consists of all cash payments
excluding repayments of principal and interest;
3. Cash excess or deficiency section determines if the
company will need to borrow money or if it will be able to
repay funds previously borrowed; and
4. Financing section details the borrowings and repayments
projected to take place during the budget period.
7-51
The Cash Budget
Assume the following information for Royal:
➢Maintains a 16% open line of credit for $75,000
➢Maintains a minimum cash balance of $30,000
➢Borrows on the first day of the month and repays
loans on the last day of the month
➢Pays a cash dividend of $49,000 in April
➢Purchases $143,700 of equipment in May and
$48,300 in June (both purchases paid in cash)
➢Has an April 1 cash balance of $40,000

Characteristics of Flexible Budgets
Planning budgets
are prepared for
a single, planned
level of activity.
Hmm! Comparing
static planning budgets
with actual costs
is like comparing
apples and oranges.
Performance
evaluation is difficult
when actual activity
differs from the planned
level of activity.
8-3
Characteristics of Flexible Budgets
May be prepared for any activity
level in the relevant range.
Show costs that should have been
incurred at the actual level of
activity, enabling “apples to apples”
cost comparisons.
Help managers control costs.
Improve performance evaluation.
Let’s look at Larry’s Lawn Service.
8-4
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
Larry’s Lawn Service provides lawn care in a planned
community where all lawns are approximately the same size.
At the end of May, Larry prepared his June budget based on
mowing 500 lawns. Since all of the lawns are similar in size,
Larry felt that the number of lawns mowed in a month would
be the best way to measure overall activity for his business.

F = Favorable variance that occurs when actual
revenue is greater than budgeted revenue.
U = Unfavorable variance that occurs when
actual costs are greater than budgeted costs.
F = Favorable variance that occurs when
actual costs are less than budgeted costs.
8-9
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
Larry’s Actual Results Compared with the Planning Budget
Since these variances are unfavorable, has
Larry done a poor job controlling costs?
Since these variances are favorable, has
Larry done a good job controlling costs?
8-10
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
I don’t think I
can answer the
questions using
a static budget.
Actual activity is above
planned activity.
So, shouldn’t the variable
costs be higher if actual
activity is higher?
8-11
Deficiencies of the Static Planning Budget
▪ The relevant question is . . .
“How much of the cost variances are
due to higher activity and how much
are due to cost control?”
▪ To answer the question,
we must
the budget to the
actual level of activity.
8-12
How a Flexible Budget Works
To
a budget, we need to know that:
• Total variable costs change
in direct proportion to
changes in activity.
• Total fixed costs remain
unchanged within the
relevant range.

Flexible Budgets with Multiple Cost
Drivers
More than one cost
driver may be needed to
adequately explain all of
the costs in an organization.
The cost formulas used
to prepare a flexible
budget can be adjusted
to recognize multiple
cost drivers.
8-20
Flexible Budgets with Multiple Cost
Drivers
Because of the large unfavorable wages and salaries spending
variance, Larry decided to add an additional cost driver for
wages and salaries. The variance is due primarily to the number
of hours required for the additional edging and trimming. So
Larry estimates the additional hours and builds those hours into
both his revenue and expense budget formulas.

Standard Costs
Standards are benchmarks or “norms” for
measuring performance. In managerial accounting,
two types of standards are commonly used.
Quantity standards
specify how much of an
input should be used to
make a product or
provide a service.
Price standards
specify how much
should be paid for
each unit of the
input.
Examples: Firestone, Sears, McDonald’s, hospitals,
construction, and manufacturing companies.

Using Standards in Flexible Budgets
Standard costs per unit for direct materials, direct
labor, and variable manufacturing overhead can be
used to compute activity and spending variances.
Spending variances become more
useful by breaking them down into
quantity and price variances.

Quantity and Price Standards
Quantity and price standards are
determined separately for two reasons:
 The purchasing manager is responsible for raw
material purchase prices and the production manager
is responsible for the quantity of raw material used.
 The buying and using activities occur at different times.
Raw material purchases may be held in inventory for a
period of time before being used in production.

Glacier Peak Outfitters has the following direct
materials standard for the fiberfill in its mountain
parka.
0.1 kg. of fiberfill per parka at $5.00 per kg.
Last month 210 kgs. of fiberfill were purchased at a
cost of $1,029. Glacier used 200 kgs. to make

AQ × AP = $1,029
AQ × SP = $1,050
SQ × SP = $1,000
MPV = $21 F
MQV = $50 U
AH × AR = $26,250
AH × SR = $25,000
SH × SR = $24,000
LRV = $1,250 U
LEV = $1,000 U

Cost Flows in a Standard Cost System
Inventories are recorded at standard cost.
Variances are recorded as follows:
 Favorable variances are credits, representing
savings in production costs.
 Unfavorable variances are debits, representing
excess production costs.
Standard cost variances are usually closed out
to cost of goods sold.
 Unfavorable variances increase cost of goods sold.
 Favorable variances decrease cost of goods sold.

Decentralization in Organizations
Benefits of
Decentralization
Top management
freed to concentrate
on strategy.
Lower-level decisions
often based on
better information. Lower-level managers
can respond quickly to
customers.
Lower-level managers
gain experience in
Decision making.
Decision-making
authority leads to
job satisfaction.
9-2
Decentralization in Organizations
May be a lack of
coordination among
autonomous
managers.
Lower-level manager’s
objectives may not
be those of the
organization.
Lower-level managers
may make decisions
without seeing the
“big picture.”
Disadvantages of
Decentralization
May be difficult to
spread innovative ideas
in the organization.

Operating expenses
$ 200,000
$ 500,000
$ 470,000
What is Regal Company’s ROI?

Investing in Operating Assets to Increase
Sales
Assume that Regal’s manager invests in a $30,000
piece of equipment that increases sales by
$35,000, while increasing operating expenses
by $15,000.
Regal Company reports the following:
Net operating income
Average operating assets
Sales
Operating expenses
$ 50,000
$ 230,000
$ 535,000
$ 485,000
Let’s calculate the new ROI.

× Average operating assets
$535,000
×
$230,000
ROI = 9.35%  2.33 = 21.8%
ROI increased from 15% to 21.8%.
9-14
Criticisms of ROI
In the absence of the balanced
scorecard, management may
not know how to increase ROI.
Managers often inherit many
committed costs over which
they have no control.
Managers evaluated on ROI
may reject profitable
investment opportunities.
9-15
Residual Income – Another Measure of
Performance
Net operating income
above some minimum
return on operating
assets
9-16
Calculating Residual Income
Residual
=
income
Net
operating income
(
Average
operating
assets

Minimum
required rate of
return
)
This computation differs from ROI.
ROI measures net operating income earned relative
to the investment in average operating assets.
Residual income measures net operating income
earned less the minimum required return on average
operating assets.
9-17
Residual Income – An Example
•The Retail Division of Zephyr, Inc., has
average operating assets of $100,000 and is
required to earn a return of 20% on these
assets.
•In the current period, the division earns
$30,000.
Let’s calculate residual income.
9-18
Residual Income – An Example
Operating assets
$ 100,000
Required rate of return ×
20%
Minimum required return $ 20,000
Actual income
$ 30,000
Minimum required return (20,000)
Residual income
$ 10,000
9-19
Motivation and Residual Income
Residual income encourages managers to
make profitable investments that would
be rejected by managers using ROI.
9-20
Divisional Comparisons and Residual
Income
The residual
income approach
has one major
disadvantage.
It cannot be used
to compare the
performance of
divisions of
different sizes.

9-22
Zephyr, Inc. – Continued
The residual income numbers suggest that the Wholesale Division outperformed
the Retail Division because its residual income is $10,000 higher. However, the
Retail Division earned an ROI of 30% compared to an ROI of 22% for the
Wholesale Division. The Wholesale Division’s residual income is larger than the
Retail Division simply because it is a bigger division.

9-27
The Balanced Scorecard:
Non-financial Measures
The balanced scorecard relies on nonfinancial measures
in addition to financial measures for two reasons:
 Financial measures are lag indicators that summarize
the results of past actions. Nonfinancial measures are
leading indicators of future financial performance.
 Top managers are ordinarily responsible for financial
performance measures, not lower-level managers.
Nonfinancial measures are more likely to be
understood and controlled by lower-level managers.
9-28
The Balanced Scorecard for Individuals
The entire organization
should have an overall
balanced scorecard.
Each individual should
have a personal
balanced scorecard.
A personal balanced scorecard should contain measures that can be
influenced by the individual being evaluated and that
support the measures in the overall balanced scorecard.

Relevant Costs and Benefits
A relevant cost is a cost that differs
between alternatives.
A relevant benefit is a benefit that
differs between alternatives.
10-2
Identifying Relevant Costs
An avoidable cost is a cost that can be
eliminated, in whole or in part, by choosing
one alternative over another. Avoidable costs
are relevant costs. Unavoidable costs are
irrelevant costs.
Two broad categories of costs are never relevant in
any decision. They include:
Sunk costs.
A future cost that does not differ between the
alternatives.
10-3
Keys to Successful Decision-Making
1. Focus only on relevant costs (also called avoidable
costs, differential costs, or incremental costs) and
relevant benefits (also called differential benefits or
incremental benefits).
2. Ignore everything else including sunk costs and
future costs and benefits that do not differ between
the alternatives.
10-4
Different Costs for Different Purposes
Costs that are
relevant in one
decision situation
may not be relevant
in another context.
Thus, in each
decision situation,
the manager must
examine the data at
hand and isolate the
relevant costs.
10-5
Total and Differential Cost Approaches
Using the differential cost approach is
desirable for two reasons:
1. Only rarely will enough information be
available to prepare detailed income
statements for both alternatives.
2. Mingling irrelevant costs with relevant costs
may cause confusion and distract attention
away from the information that is really
critical.
10-6
Adding/Dropping Segments
One of the most important
decisions managers make
is whether to add or drop a
business segment.
Ultimately, a decision to
drop an old segment or add
a new one is going to hinge
primarily on the impact the
decision will have on net
operating income.
To assess this
impact, it is
necessary to
carefully analyze
the costs.
10-7
A Contribution Margin Approach
DECISION RULE
Lovell should drop the digital watch
segment only if its profit would
increase.
Lovell will compare the contribution
margin that would be lost to the costs
that would be avoided if the line was to
be dropped.
10-8
The Make or Buy Analysis
When a company is involved in more than
one activity in the entire value chain, it is
vertically integrated. A decision to carry
out one of the activities in the value chain
internally, rather than to buy externally
from a supplier is called a “make or buy”
decision.
10-9
Key Terms and Concepts
A special order is a one-time
order that is not considered
part of the company’s normal
ongoing business.
When analyzing a special
order, only the incremental
costs and benefits are
relevant.
Since the existing fixed
manufacturing overhead costs
would not be affected by the
order, they are not relevant.
10-10
Key Terms and Concepts
When a limited resource of
some type restricts the
company’s ability to satisfy
demand, the company is
said to have a constraint.
The machine or
process that is
limiting overall output
is called the
bottleneck – it is the
constraint.
10-11
Utilization of a Constrained Resource
• Fixed costs are usually unaffected in these situations,
so the product mix that maximizes the company’s
total contribution margin should ordinarily be
selected.
• A company should not necessarily promote those
products that have the highest unit contribution
margins.
• Rather, total contribution margin will be maximized by
promoting those products or accepting those orders
that provide the highest contribution margin in
relation to the constraining resource.
10-12
Managing Constraints
It is often possible for a manager to increase the capacity of a
bottleneck, which is called relaxing (or elevating) the constraint,
in numerous ways such as:
1. Working overtime on the bottleneck.
2. Subcontracting some of the processing that would be done
at the bottleneck.
3. Investing in additional machines at the bottleneck.
4. Shifting workers from non-bottleneck processes to the
bottleneck.
5. Focusing business process improvement efforts on the
bottleneck.
6. Reducing defective units processed through the bottleneck.
These methods and ideas are all consistent with the Theory
of Constraints, which was introduced in Chapter 1.

Joint Costs
• In some industries, a number of end
products are produced from a single raw
material input.
• Two or more products produced from a
common input are called joint products.
• The point in the manufacturing process
where each joint product can be
recognized as a separate product is called
the split-off point.
10-14
Sell or Process Further
Joint costs are irrelevant in decisions regarding
what to do with a product from the split-off point
forward. Therefore, these costs should not be
allocated to end products for decision-making
purposes.
With respect to sell or process further decisions, it is
profitable to continue processing a joint product
after the split-off point so long as the incremental
revenue from such processing exceeds the
incremental processing costs incurred after the
split-off point.

Lease or buy
Cost reduction
11-2
Typical Capital Budgeting Decisions
Capital budgeting tends to fall into two broad
categories.
1. Screening decisions. Does a proposed
project meet some preset standard of
acceptance?
2. Preference decisions. Selecting from
among several competing courses of action.
11-3
Time Value of Money
A dollar today is worth
more than a dollar a
year from now.
Therefore, projects that
promise earlier returns
are preferable to those
that promise later
returns.
11-4
Time Value of Money
The capital
budgeting
techniques that best
recognize the time
value of money are
those that involve
discounted cash
flows.
11-5
The Net Present Value Method
To determine net present value we . . .
• Calculate the present value of cash
inflows,
• Calculate the present value of cash
outflows,
• Subtract the present value of the outflows
from the present value of the inflows.
11-6
The Net Present Value Method
If the Net Present
Value is . . .
Then the Project is . . .
Positive . . .
Acceptable because it promises
a return greater than the
required rate of return.
Zero . . .
Acceptable because it promises
a return equal to the required
rate of return.
Negative . . .
Not acceptable because it
promises a return less than the
required rate of return.
11-7
The Net Present Value Method
Net present value analysis
emphasizes cash flows and not
accounting net income.
The reason is that
accounting net income is
based on accruals that
ignore the timing of cash
flows into and out of an
organization.
11-8
Choosing a Discount Rate
• The firm’s cost of capital is usually
regarded as the minimum required rate of
return.
• The cost of capital is the average rate of
return the company must pay to its longterm creditors and stockholders for the use
of their funds.
• The cost of capital is usually regarded as
the minimum required rate of return. When
the cost of capital is used as the discount
rate, it serves as a screening device in net
present value analysis.
11-9
Preference Decision – The Ranking of Investment
Projects
Screening Decisions
Preference Decisions
Pertain to whether or
not some proposed
investment is
acceptable; these
decisions come first.
Attempt to rank
acceptable
alternatives from the
most to least
appealing.
11-10
Net Present Value Method
The net present value of one project cannot
be directly compared to the net present
value of another project unless the
investments are equal.
11-11
The Payback Method
The payback period is the length of time that it
takes for a project to recover its initial cost out
of the cash receipts that it generates.
When the annual net cash inflow is the same
each year, this formula can be used to compute
the payback period:
Payback period =
Investment required
Annual net cash inflow
11-12
Simple Rate of Return Method
Does not focus on cash flows – rather, it focuses on
accounting net operating income.
The following formula is used to calculate the simple
rate of return:
Simple rate Annual incremental net operating income
=
of return
Initial investment*
*Should be reduced by any salvage from the sale of the old equipment
11-13
Postaudit of Investment Projects
A postaudit is a follow-up after the project
has been completed to see whether or not
expected results were actually realized.

Statement of
Cash Flows
The statement of cash flows highlights the major activities
that impact cash flows and ,hence, affect the overall cash
balance.

Purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows
Are cash flows
sufficient to
support ongoing
operations?
Will the company
have to borrow
money to make
needed
investments?
Can we pay

Why is there a
difference
between net

A Fundamental Principle
 Cash Balance =  Noncash Balance Sheet Accounts
This principle ensures that properly
analyzing the changes in all noncash
balance sheet accounts always
quantifies the cash inflows and
outflows that explain the change in the
cash balance.

Free cash flow measures a company’s ability to
fund its capital expenditures and dividends from
its net cash provided by operating activities.
Net Cash Provided by

12-13
Earnings Quality
Managers generally perceive that
earnings are of higher quality
when the earnings:
1. are not unduly influenced by
inflation,
2. are computed using
conservative accounting
principles and estimates, and
3. are correlated with net cash
provided by operating
activities.
12-14
Computing Net Cash Provided by
Operating Activities
The direct method computes
net cash provided by operating
activities by reconstructing the
income statement on a cash
basis from top to bottom.
Net cash provided by operating
activities under the direct method will
always agree with the amount
computed using the indirect method.

Focus on the
Future Manager
with Noreen/ Brewer/Garrison
In Managerial Accounting for Managers, the authors have
crafted a streamlined managerial accounting book that is perfect for nonaccounting majors who intend to move into managerial positions. Topics
such as process costing, the statement of cash flows, and financial statement analysis have been dropped to enable instructors to focus their
attention on the bedrocks of managerial accounting—planning,
control, and decision making. Noreen/Brewer/Garrison focuses on the
fundamentals, allowing students to develop the conceptual framework
managers need to succeed.
In its second edition, Managerial Accounting for Managers continues
to adhere to three core standards:
FOCUS. Noreen/Brewer/Garrison pinpoints the key managerial
concepts students will need in their future careers. With no journal
entries or financial accounting topics to worry about, students can focus
on the fundamental principles of managerial accounting.
RELEVANCE. With its insightful Business Focus features
to begin each chapter, current In Business examples throughout the text,
and tried-and-true end-of-chapter material, a student will always see the
real-world applicability of Noreen/Brewer/Garrison.
BALANCE. There is more than one type of business, and so
Noreen/Brewer/Garrison covers a variety of business models, including
nonprofit, retail, service, wholesale, and manufacturing organizations.
Service company examples are highlighted with icons in the margins of
the text.

Managing Materials and Labor
Schneider Electric’s Oxford, Ohio,
plant manufactures busways that
transport electricity from its point
of entry into a building to remote
locations throughout the building.
The plant’s managers pay close
attention to direct material costs
because they are more than half
of the plant’s total manufacturing
costs. To help control scrap rates
for direct materials such as
copper, steel, and aluminum, the
accounting department prepares direct materials quantity variances. These variances
compare the standard quantity of direct materials that should have been used to make
a product (according to computations by the plant’s engineers) to the amount of direct
materials that were actually used. Keeping a close eye on these differences helps to
identify and deal with the causes of excessive scrap, such as an inadequately trained
machine operator, poor quality raw material inputs, or a malfunctioning machine.
Because direct labor is also a significant component of the plant’s total manufacturing costs, the management team daily monitors the direct labor efficiency variance.
This variance compares the standard amount of labor time allowed to make a product
to the actual amount of labor time used. When idle workers cause an unfavorable labor
efficiency variance, managers temporarily move workers from departments with slack
to departments with a backlog of work to be done. ■
Each chapter opens with a Business Focus
feature that provides a real-world example
for students, allowing them to see how
the chapter’s information and insights apply
to the world outside the classroom.
Learning Objectives alert students to
what they should expect as they progress
through the chapter.
“Many concepts in accounting are
rather abstract if not given some type
of context to understand them in. The
business focus features help to provide
this context and can lead to discussions
in class if the instructor wishes.”

IS THIS REALLY A JOB?
VBT Bicycling Vacations of Bristol, Vermont, offers deluxe bicycling vacations in the United States,
Canada, Europe, and other locations throughout the world. For example, the company offers a
10-day tour of the Puglia region of Italy—the “heel of the boot.” The tour price includes international
airfare, 10 nights of lodging, most meals, use of a bicycle, and ground transportation. Each tour is
led by at least two local tour leaders, one of whom rides with the guests along the tour route. The
other tour leader drives a “sag wagon” that carries extra water, snacks, and bicycle repair equipment and is available to shuttle guests back to the hotel or up a hill. The sag wagon also transports
guests’ luggage from one hotel to another.
Each specific tour can be considered a job. For example, Giuliano Astore and Debora Trippetti,
two natives of Puglia, led a VBT tour with 17 guests over 10 days in late April. At the end of the tour,
Giuliano submitted a report, a sort of job cost sheet, to VBT headquarters. This report detailed
the on the ground expenses incurred for this specific tour, including fuel and operating costs for the
van, lodging costs for the guests, the costs of meals provided to guests, the costs of snacks, the
cost of hiring additional ground transportation as needed, and the wages of the tour leaders. In
addition to these costs, some costs are paid directly by VBT in Vermont to vendors. The total cost
incurred for the tour is then compared to the total revenue collected from guests to determine the
gross profit for the tour.
These helpful boxed features offer a glimpse
into how real companies use the managerial
accounting concepts discussed within the
chapter. Each chapter contains from three to
fourteen of these current examples.

Managerial Accounting in
Action Vignettes
These vignettes depict cross-functional
teams working together in real-life
settings, working with the products and
services that students recognize from
their own lives. Students are shown
step-by-step how accounting concepts
are implemented in organizations and
how these concepts are applied to solve
everyday business problems. First, “The
Issue” is introduced through a dialogue;
the student then walks through the
implementation process; finally, “The

Victoria: How is the budgeting going?
Rick: Pretty well. I didn’t have any trouble putting together the budget for March. I also
prepared a report comparing the actual results for March to the budget, but that report
isn’t giving me what I really want to know.
Victoria: Because your actual level of activity didn’t match your budgeted activity?
Rick: Right. I know the level of activity shouldn’t affect my fixed costs, but we had
more client-visits than I had expected and that had to affect my other costs.
Victoria: So you want to know whether the higher actual costs are justified by the
higher level of activity you actually had in March?
Rick: Precisely.
Victoria: If you leave your reports and data with me, I can work on it later today, and by
tomorrow I’ll have a report to show you.
How a Flexible Budget Works
A flexible budget approach recognizes that a budget can be adjusted to show what costs
should be for the actual level of activity. To illustrate how flexible budgets work, Victoria
prepared the report in Exhibit 9–4 that shows what the revenues and costs should have
been given the actual level of activity in March. Preparing the report is straightforward.
The cost formula for each cost is used to estimate what the cost should have been for
1,100 client-visits—the actual level of activity for March. For example, using the cost
formula $1,500 ⫹ $0.10q, the cost of electricity in March should have been $1,610
(⫽ $1,500 ⫹ $0.10 ⫻ 1,100).
We can see from the flexible budget that the net operating income in March should have
been $30,510, but recall from Exhibit 9–2 that the net operating income was actually only
$21,230. The results are not as good as we thought. Why? We will answer that question shortly.
To summarize to this point, Rick had budgeted for a profit of $16,800. The actual
profit was quite a bit higher—$21,230. However, given the amount of business the salon
had in March, the profit should have been even higher—$30,510. What are the causes of
these discrepancies? Rick would certainly like to build on the positive factors, while
working to reduce the negative factors. But what are they?
Flexible Budget Variances
To answer Rick’s questions concerning the discrepancies between budgeted and actual costs,
we will need to break down the variances shown in Exhibit 9–3 into two types of variances—
activity variances and revenue and spending variances. We do that in the next two sections.
