• Manufacturing company’s functional areas
generally include manufacturing, marketing, and
general administration. One individual, such as a
vice president of manufacturing or a vice
president of marketing, has primary responsibility
for a specific functional area. To evaluate the
effectiveness of the functional area and the
individual in charge of it, costs also must be
grouped by functional area as follows.

A. Manufacturing Costs - include costs from the acquisition of raw
materials through production, until the product is turned over to the
marketing division to be sold. Manufacturing costs include the cost of
the raw materials, payroll costs for people working on the product,
and incidental costs such as taxes, power, depreciation, and repairs
associated with manufacturing the product.
B. Selling Costs - are all costs associated with marketing and selling a
product. They include all costs incurred by the marketing division
from the time the manufacturing process is complete until the product
is delivered to the customer. These costs include advertising,
promotional offers, freight to deliver the product, and warehouse costs
while the product is waiting to be sold.
C. Administrative Costs are all costs associated with the management of
the company and include expenditures for accounting, legal, and
administrative activities. Interest costs are also included among

5. Cost Behavior
• Cost behavior describes how a cost changes with
time or with changes in volume.
A. Variable costs are costs that vary proportionately
in total as the volume of production or sales
changes.
Fixed cost remains constant in amount as volume of
production or sales changes.
6. Decision Significance
• A decision involves making choices among
alternative courses of action.
i. Relevant cost is future costs that differ with the
various decision alternatives. They are costs that
make a difference in a decision-making process.
ii. Irrelevant Costs do not relate to any of the
decision alternatives, are historical in nature or are
the same under all decision alternatives. Irrelevant
costs are generally excluded from the analysis.
7. Managerial Influence
• Managerial influence refers to the ability of a manager to
control a particular cost.
• Remember that all costs are controlled by some one at some
level in the organization if the time period is long enough.
• However, when we see for a particular manager at a
particular level in the organization and for a short period of
time, there are some costs that can be influenced and some
that cannot.
A. Controllable costs are subject to significant influence by a
particular manager within the time period under
consideration.
B. Uncontrollable costs are those costs over which a given
manager does not have a significant influence.

• The equivalent unit of work done on the 175
physical unit started and completed equals 175
units times 100% for both direct material and
conversion cost, because all works on these units is
done in the current period.
• The equivalent units of work done on the 100 units
of ending work in process equals 100 physical

direct materials for these units are added in the

because only 50% of conversion cost work on
these units is done in the current period.

alternatives.

order?
• Could the special order affect Hawassa’s
regular business? Solution:
a). The correct analysis to the above problem
employs the contribution approach to income
statement, not the absorption or financial
approach that treats fixed costs, i.e., fixed
manufacturing costs as if it were variable.

2. Cost-plus pricing
• Accounting information may be used in pricing
decisions, particularly where the firm is a market
leader or price-maker.
• In these cases, firms may adopt cost-plus pricing,
in which a margin is added to the total
product/service cost in order to determine the
selling price.
• In many organizations, however, prices are set by
market leaders and competition requires that prices
follow the market (i.e. the firms are price-takers).
