Cost Accounting (462) - Autumn 2022 - Assignment 1

Q No. 1              a.      How cost accounting is superior over financial accounting?         (10+10)

Cost accounting is superior to financial accounting in many ways. Cost accounting provides more

detailed and comprehensive information about a company’s finances than financial accounting does. For example, cost accounting provides a clearer picture of the actual cost of producing a product or providing a service, whereas financial accounting only provides a general overview of the company’s financial performance. Additionally, cost accounting provides more detailed information about a company’s inventory and cost of goods sold, which is important for decision-making purposes. Cost accounting also provides more detailed information about fixed costs, such as overhead and depreciation, that are not reported in financial accounting. Finally, cost accounting provides detailed data about product and service costs that are not available in financial accounting, such as the cost of materials, labor, and overhead.

Describe the classification of Costs on the basis of Decision Making.

1. Controllable Costs: These costs are those that can be easily managed and controlled by a decision maker. Examples of controllable costs include wages, rent, and materials.

2. Non-Controllable Costs: These costs cannot be easily managed and controlled by a decision maker. Examples of non-controllable costs include taxes, interest, and insurance.

3. Fixed Costs: These costs do not vary with the level of activity. Examples of fixed costs include rent, insurance, and depreciation.

4. Variable Costs: These costs vary with the level of activity. Examples of variable costs include wages, materials, and utilities.

5. Direct Costs: These costs can be directly associated with the production of a product or service. Examples of direct costs include materials, labor, and overhead.

6. Indirect Costs: These costs are not directly associated with the production of a product or service. Examples of indirect costs include advertising, marketing, and research and development.

 

Q No. 2           (a) What is meant by the term cost of goods manufactured? Why does this item appears on an income statement?                                       (20)

Cost of goods manufactured (COGM) is a term used in accounting to refer to the total cost of producing a company's products or goods. It includes the direct costs of materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, as well as any other costs that are directly related to the production of the goods. COGM appears on an income statement because it is subtracted from the company's revenue to determine the gross profit for the period. This helps investors and management understand how much profit is being generated by the production and sale of goods, as well as the efficiency of the company's manufacturing operations.
