CHAPTER 10
ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS FOR
MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
CLASS DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Managerial accounting differs from financial
accounting in the following ways:
(1) Financial accounting records and re-
ports transactions and events using
generally accepted accounting princi–
ples (GAAP), while managerial account-
ing is not restricted by specific rules.
That is, managerial accounting records
and reports whatever information is use–
ful to management for decision making.
pany or its segments.
2. For a company that produces desktop com-
puters, memory chips would be considered
a direct materials cost. For a cost to be con-
sidered a direct materials cost, the cost must
be an integral part of the finished product
and a significant portion of the total cost of
the product.
3. Product cost information is used by manag-
ers to (1) establish product prices, (2) con-
trol operations, and (3) develop financial
statements.
c. Process cost systems accumulate costs
for each department or process within a
factory.
5. Job order costing is used by firms that sell
custom goods and services to customers.
6. Materials should not be issued by the store-
keeper without a properly authorized materi-
als requisition. Both the storekeeper and the
recipient of the materials should initial the
materials requisition when the materials are
9. The use of a predetermined factory over-
head rate in job order cost accounting
assists management in pricing jobs. By
estimating the cost of direct materials and
direct labor based on past experience and
by applying the factory overhead rate, the
cost of a job can be estimated. The prede-
termined rate also permits the determination
of the cost of a job shortly after it is finished,
which enables management to adjust future
pricing policies to achieve the best combina-

12. The simplest satisfactory procedure for
disposing of a relatively minor balance in the
factory overhead account is to transfer it to
Cost of Goods Sold.
13. Product costs are composed of three
elements of manufacturing costs: direct
materials cost, direct labor cost, and factory
overhead cost. These costs are treated as
assets until the product is sold. Product

15. a. The objective of JIT processing is to
produce products with high quality, low
cost, and instant availability.
b. JIT processing combines traditional
manufacturing functions into work cen-
ters where workers are cross-trained to
complete several functions. Also, ser-
vice activities such as repair and

The CEO must not have been listening very closely at the conference. Just-in-
time is not primarily an inventory reduction method. Just-in-time is a process
improvement philosophy that focuses on reducing time, cost, poor quality, and
uncertainty from a process. Large inventories are merely a symptom of poorly
designed processes. Thus, the CEO’s statement is naive. The company must first

This is an actual situation facing the U.S. apparel industry. Warren Featherbone
and other U.S.-based apparel manufacturers are discovering the strategic power
of just-in-time. Rather than competing with the offshore manufacturers on price,
these companies are providing smaller quantities with much faster delivery. The
retailer is able to order and receive goods in smaller, more frequent batch sizes.
As a result, the retailer is able to move with fashion trends more quickly. If, for
example, a particular style is proving popular, the domestic manufacturer can
E10–23
Piecework compensation is a characteristic of a traditional manufacturing philos-
ophy that is inconsistent with just-in-time. Under just-in-time, workers are viewed
not just as laborers but as valuable assets of the company. The company wants
workers to also bring their minds to the job. Thus, workers should be compen-
sated for contributing to process improvements, for training themselves to work
other jobs in the cell, and for managing themselves. This might involve an hourly

way they consume administrative activities. For example, the Homeowners
