Topic 1: Cost Concepts and Cost Behavior COGS Merchandising Company

The document discusses cost concepts and cost behavior for merchandising and manufacturing companies. It provides examples of calculations for cost of goods sold for both types of companies. It also discusses activity based costing and the differences between variable and absorption costing methods. Specifically, it explains how product costs per unit and net income are calculated differently under variable versus absorption costing. Variable costing focuses on contribution margin and tracks variable costs, while absorption costing fully applies overhead to inventory and cost of goods sold.

Total Units Produced Unit Cost


Direct Materials P 40,000 1,000 P 40
Direct Labor 20,000 1,000 20
Factory Overhead 17,000 1,000 17
P77,000 P 77

Manufacturing Cost P 77.00


Gross Profit (40%) 30.80
Selling Price P107.80
HIGH-LOW METHOD
a. Choosing the highest and lowest activity level within the relevant range y = a + bx
Y2-Y1 Where,
b. Slope of the line (variable cost/unit): b= y = total costs
X2-X1 a = fixed costs
where: x=activity level
b = variable cost per unit
Y2 = cost associated with the highest activity level
Y1 = cost associated with the lowest activity level
X2 = highest activity level
X1 = lowest activity level
Variable cost = change in cost / change in activity

c. Y-intercept (fixed cost): a = y – bx


where:
a = monthly fixed cost
Y = Total Cost (fixed + variable)
b = variable cost per unit
X = activity level

LEAST SQUARE REGRESSION ANALYSIS – an averaging method that is an expansion of


the expression y= a + bx
a. Formula to get the variable cost per unit: b = n(∑xy) - (∑x)(∑y)
n(∑x2) - (∑x)2

∑y - b(∑x)
b. Formula to get the fixed cost: a = n

Topic 2: Activity Based and Variable Costing


1. Activity Based Costing:
  Total Budgeted Factory Overhead
Single plant-wide factory overhead rate =
  Total Budgeted Plant-wide Allocation Base

Activity   Budgeted Activity Cost


=
Rate   Activity Base

Activity Base x Activity Rate = Activity Cost


Summation of all Activity Costs = Total Factory Overhead Cost
Total Factory Overhead Cost / Budgeted Units of Production = Factory Overhead Cost Per Unit
2. Absorption and Variable Costing

Variable Costing Absorption Costing


Direct Materials Product Product
Direct Labor
Variable Overhead
Fixed Overhead* Period
Variable Selling and Administrative Period
Fixed Selling and Administrative

Computing Net Income:


 Variable Costing and the Contribution Format Income Statement

Variable Overhead 1.00 P6.00
Computing Net Income:
 Absorption Costing and the Functional Income Statement

Direct Materials P3.00
Direct Labor 2.00
Variable Overhead 1.00
Fixed Overhead (P2,000/1,000units) 2.00 P8.00

Production = Sales
Production is greater than Sales

Production is less than Sales:
