Tute 3 Homework – Cost Terms, Concepts and

Classifications
2.5

Different costs for different purposes refer to classifying costs based on how
managers are going to be using the information. The same cost can be classified in
different ways depending on the intended use of the cost information (i.e. behaviour,
traceability, controllability, value chain, manufacturing, timing)

2.6

Fixed Costs remain unchanged in total despite changes in the level of activity, while
Variable Costs change in direct proportion to a change in the level of activity. For
Commonwealth Bank, fixed costs would include the rent paid for its different
branches, employee wages, equipment depreciation. Variable Costs would include
interest paid to customers, raw materials, telephone and banking costs.

2.7

Level of Activity refers to the level of work performed in the organisation, such as
units produced, kilometres driven, or hours worked.

1. Advertising costs: period cost, fixed, non-manufacturing cost


2. Straight-line depreciation: product cost, fixed, manufacturing over-head
3. Wages of assembly line workers: product cost, variable (hourly basis), direct
labour
4. Delivery costs on customer shipments: period cost, variable, non-
manufacturing cost
5. Newsprint consumed: product cost, variable, manufacturing cost (direct
material)
6. Plant insurance: product cost, fixed, manufacturing cost (manufacturing over-
head)
7. Glass costs: product cost, variable, direct material
8. Tyre costs: product cost, variable, manufacturing cost (direct material)
9. Sales commissions: period cost, variable, non-manufacturing cost
10. Wood glue: product cost, variable, manufacturing cost (either direct material
or manufacturing over-head (i.e., indirect material) depending on how
significant the cost is)
11. Wages of security guards: product cost (securing the factory), variable,
(manufacturing cost) manufacturing over-head
12. Salary of financial vice president: period cost, fixed, non-manufacturing cost

Product Cost = Manufacturing Cost, for calc. purposes

1. $48,000, as there was no work in process inventory at the beginning of the


period
2. Direct Materials would increase by about 20% if production increase by 20%
as it is a variable cost. (Direct cost > only variable, MOH > fixed or variable)
3. Depreciation cost would remain the same even if production increased as it is
a fixed cost.
4. If half of the depreciation cost was related to factory machinery and the other
half was related to selling and administrative equipment, Only the $36 000 of
equipment depreciation would have been included in manufacturing over-
head on the schedule of cost of goods manufactured. The $36 000 of
depreciation related to selling and administrative equipment would have been
treated as a period cost and expensed during the year
