Cost Accounting: Cost Accounting is the branch of accounting which works on the cost activities
of the organizations to find out what is the actual cost of an activity, what should be the cost of
an activity, how to improve performance so that cost can be minimized and overall cost
management of the organization. (Hansen, Mowen, and Guan, 2007)
Managerial Accounting: Management accounting is the branch of accounting which identifies,
analyzes and communicates information with the management to take decisions that help to
achieve organization’s goal. (Hansen, Mowen, and Guan, 2007) Cost accounting is a part of
managerial accounting. Sometimes cost accounting is named as managerial accounting.
Financial Accounting: Financial Accounting works on past transactions of an organization to
find out the impact of these transactions on the organization’s overall condition at the end of
certain time period. Financial accounting calculates the profit or loss from the financial activities
of the organization and shows the overall asset, liability and ownership condition of an
organization. (Hansen, Mowen, and Guan, 2007)
There are subtle differences among these three types of the accounting process. Financial
accounting is the necessary part of the accounting process that each and every organization has
to follow. Using financial accounting process organizations communicates its overall financial
position and the result of economic activities of a financial year to its stakeholders. (Weetman
and IVONNE, 2013) On the other hand, cost accounting and managerial accounting are not
mandatory to be followed by the organizations. Organizations usually use these accounting
procedures for management purpose, and they don’t usually dispose of these accounts. Besides,
the financial accounting procedures are based on past transactions, but management accounting
and cost accounting are generally futuristic analysis. Organizations use cost and managerial
accounting processes to develop the operating performance of the organization.
Cost accounting and managerial accounting are vastly related to one another. Cost accounting
usually works on identifying, analyzing, and communicating cost related information to the
management whereas managerial accounting works on all types of accounts to provide insights
into the overall condition and development aspects to the management.
Task: 2
Costs can be classified in many ways. Different classification of costs shows various aspects of
costs. (Lanen, Anderson, and Maher, 2013) Product cost and period cost are two major
classifications.
Product costs are those expenses that are directly related to the production of product or services.
These costs can be directly attributed to each product produced. Direct material, Direct labor,
Manufacturing overhead etc. are the product costs.
Period costs are costs that are not directly attributable to the products produced. These are the
costs that cannot be traced to a particular product or service. Period costs include marketing cost
and administrative cost.
Other classification of costs includes – variable cost, fixed cost and semi-variable cost.
Variable costs include those costs that change due to changes in overall output level. As the
production increases, the cost also increases and vice versa. Example: Direct material, direct
labor etc.
Fixed costs are the costs that do not change due to changes in the output quantity. Whether the
output level increases or decreases the cost level doesn’t change. Example: Marketing costs and
administrative expenses.
Semi-variable costs include those costs which remain fixed for a given level of output. After the
level of output is crossed the cost increases at a particular rate for per unit of additional output.
Example: utility bill. (Lanen, Anderson, and Maher, 2013)
Task: 3
Ending Inventory Calculation – FIFO method
Total inventory available for sales = (450+150+150+250) = 1000 units
Total sales = ( 75+115+175+200+200 ) = 865 units
Ending inventory = (1000-865) units = 135 units
As FIFO method is to be used to determine the value of the ending inventory the remaining
inventory units are from the last purchase 250 units which have a per value of 5.4 and was
purchased on 25th June.
So the value of ending inventory is –
Ending Inventory Calculation FIFO

Ending Inventory Calculation – AVCO method
Average cost per unit = Total cost of available goods for sales / Total goods available for sales
= 5220/1000
= 5.22

According to the previous calculation the ending inventory is 135 units.
So, the value of ending inventory is –
Ending Inventory Calculation AVCO method
Date
Quantity Per unit price (average)
Value
Ending Inventory
135
5.22 704.7
According to the two methods used to calculate the value of ending inventory, the value is
different from each method. The reason behind is that the per unit price is different in each
method. Though the quantity available in the inventory after the month of June is same in each
method, the value of ending inventory is different due to the per unit price attributed to the
product under each method. Under FIFO method per unit price of 5.4 is used as the inventory is
assumed to be available from the last purchase units which were 5.4 per unit and all previous
inventory from beginning inventory and from other previous purchases are sold out. Under
AVCO method an average price of all the quantity available to be sold is calculated and used to
find out the cost of ending inventory. (Weetman and IVONNE, 2013)
The above sample also shows that when the price is rising the FIFO method gives more value to
the ending inventory than the average method. This means that the firm is allocating less value or
cost to the cost of goods sold. As the cost of goods sold is lower in the FIFO method, the net
income will be higher. This process violates the conservatism principle of the method. So to
determine which method of inventory valuation to use organizations usually follow industry
practice. Besides, in the case of rising prices FIFO method is not appropriate to use.
Task: 4
Responsibility accounting: Responsibility accounting provides information to the different
responsibility centers that help to take a decision regarding each responsibility centers and
contributes to develop the performance of the responsibility centers. Here responsibility centers
are those for which a manager has authority and responsibility. Usually responsibility centers are
defined as the departments of an organization.
The management of cost center has authority over costs. They don’t have control over revenue or
investment activities. Departments such as accounting, finance, legal, and personnel are common
cost centers. (Brewer et al., 2009)
The management of cost center has authority over both costs and revenues but doesn’t have any
control over investment fund. For example: the manager of an amusement park.
From the given scenario the employment of an assistant is related to activities of the cost center.
The decision to purchase new dryers and washing equipment is the activity of investment center.
The decision to take a loan for this purpose is related to the business of both cost center and
investment center.
The performance of cost center can be evaluated comparing the actual cost with the standard cost
for a particular level of output. All the variances analysis of the previous task can be mentioned
here. The performance of profit center can be evaluated comparing actual benefit with budgeted
profit and performance of investment center can be evaluated comparing the ROI of the
organization. (Brewer et al., 2009)
Task: 5
Variable cost is the cost that changes due to changes of product produced. Per unit variable cost
is usually fixed at a specific level. On the other hand, fixed cost doesn’t change due to changes in
the level of output. Fixed cost is not usually calculated per unit basis. (Horngren, Datar, and
Rajan, 2014) We can use high-low method to find out variable cost and fixed cost from the total
cost.
Variable cost per unit:
At first find out the highest activity and the lowest activity.
Activity
High
Low
Unit
Total Cost
9400
55660
5500
39320
Variable cost per unit =
=
= 4.19
Fixed cost = Total cost – Total variable cost
= 55660 – (4.19*9400)
= 55660 – 39383.60
= 16276.40
In this method we assumed a linear relationship between variable cost and total cost. We also
assumed that in these activity levels (5500-9400) the total fixed cost has not changed. The
variable cost per unit is fixed at 4.19 per unit. It means that to increase one unit of output the
total cost will increase by 4.19 and there will be no change in the level of fixed cost. This method
is also developed by assuming a linear regression equation between total cost with variable cost
per unit and total fixed cost. (Horngren, Datar, and Rajan, 2014)
Total cost = Variable cost per unit * no of output + total fixed cost

The above two table shows standard cost card under absorption costing method and marginal
costing method. Under absorption costing method per unit standard cost is 99 but under marginal
costing method per unit standard cost is 84. The difference of 15 is due to the allocation of fixed
overhead under absorption costing method. Under marginal costing method fixed overhead is not
allocated to the per unit cost. As the fixed overhead doesn’t change with accordance to the
increase or decrease in the level or output, it is not included in the cost card under marginal
costing method. Marginal cost card includes those costs that change due to one unit change in the
level of output. As fixed overhead doesn’t follow these criteria, fixed overhead per unit is not
included under marginal costing method.

According to the given data material price variance is not favorable. Per unit price is higher than
the standard price. The reason behind is that the management is not capable of bargaining a good
price for the materials from the suppliers.
The material quantity variable is favorable to some extent. The total material required to produce
42800 output is lower than the standard level of materials required. That is why the material
quantity variance is favorable.
But the total variable is unfavorable as material price variance is much higher than material
quantity variance. The reason behind that may be the quality of material has improved and so
suppliers are charging a higher price for the materials. This logic seems appropriate as the
material required per unit output has reduced from the previous standard level and it is possible if
the quality of material is improved. (Brewer et al., 2009)

According to the given data the direct labor rate variance is unfavorable. The per hour direct
labor rate is higher than the standard labor rate. This may result in due to overtime work for this
output level. Overtime hour rate is higher than normal hour rate.
The direct labor efficiency variance is also unfavorable as actual hour used is higher than
standard hour for this level of output. The reason behind unfavorable efficiency variance can be
attributed to poorly trained workers, demotivated workers, poor quality materials, faulty
equipment etc.

Variable overhead is related to direct labor hour. We used direct labor hour as a base to allocate
overhead cost per unit. The actual rate for variable overhead per hour is lower than the standard
rate. So the variable overhead rate variance is favorable for the firm. On the other hand the direct
labor hour is higher than the standard level of labor hour for 42800 unit of output. That is why
the variable overhead efficiency variance is unfavorable. But the total variance of variable
overhead is favorable for the firm.

We used direct labor hour as a base to allocate fixed overhead cost per unit. The fixed overhead
spending variance is favorable as the actual rate is much lower than the standard rate. On the
other hand, fixed overhead volume variance is unfavorable. This is related to direct labor hour.
As the actual direct labor hour is higher than the standard direct labor hour the variance is
unfavorable. The total fixed overhead variance is favorable as the spending variance is higher
than volume variance. (Brewer et al., 2009)
Sales variance:
Sales volume variance = (Actual unit sold – budgeted unit sold) * Standard contribution per unit
= (40000-30000) * 49
= 490000 F
Sales price variance = (Actual price – Budgeted price) x Actual unit sales
= (70-70) * 40000
=0
Total sales variance = 490000+0
= 490000
The sales volume variance is favorable as the actual unit sold is higher than the budgeted sales
unit. But the sales price variance is zero as the budgeted sales price and actual sales price was
equal at $70.
