About 'cost accounting vs managerial accounting'|Common Mistakes








Cost               analysis               and               understanding               the               nature               of               cost               behavior               are               extremely               important               for               a               management               accountant.

These               factors               allow               us               to               estimate               potential               costs               and               levels               of               production               as               we               monitor               current               costs               and               productions.

Costs               are               a               major               factor               towards               decision               making               within               any               business.

How               can               we               reduce               costs               and               still               boost               revenue?

Are               we               able               to               cut               prices               to               boost               worth               for               the               consumer?

All               our               decisions               about               cost               are               aimed               towards               maximizing               our               profit               and               getting               the               most               out               of               our               business               (Atkinson,               Kaplan,               Matsumura,               &               Young,               2007).

Fixed               costs               are               expenses               which               are               required               to               be               paid               no               matter               what               the               flow               of               business.

Some               of               our               fixed               costs               include               rent,               utilities,               and               insurance.

While               the               amount               due               may               fluctuate               each               month,               their               fixed               status               comes               from               the               fact               that               they               will               be               due               each               month.

In               comparison,               variable               costs               are               costs               which               fluctuate               based               on               production               levels.

These               kinds               of               costs               are               relative               to               inventory               or               in               Claire's               Antiques               case,               the               purchase               of               flexible               resources               such               as               wood,               brackets               and               clock               mechanisms.

If               the               product               is               not               being               made,               the               product               would               not               be               purchased               and               thus,               money               not               spent               (Atkinson,               Kaplan,               Matsumura,               &               Young,               2007).
               The               advantages               of               fixed               costs               include               a               reliable               accounting               structure.

Our               books               will               be               neat               and               clean               concerning               cost               and               expense               for               the               month.

It               would               be               easy               to               determine               how               much               we               need               to               sell               to               break-even               or               make               a               profit.

However,               should               an               unexpected               increase               in               demand               for               one               or               more               of               our               products               occur,               it               could               cause               a               shift               in               this               perfectly               balanced               equilibrium.

Dictated               by               fixed               costs,               we               would               be               unable               to               create               more               of               the               product               needed               in               an               appropriate               time               period.

In               the               adverse               situation               where               sales               decline               for               a               number               of               weeks,               Claire's               Antiques               would               be               left               holding               the               bag               with               the               additional               merchandise               produced               and               left               unsold.

To               make               up               for               the               decrease               in               sales,               our               amount               needed               to               be               sold               to               make               a               profit               would               be               larger               than               the               last               term               (Atkinson,               Kaplan,               Matsumura,               &               Young,               2007).
               This               is               where               we               see               the               advantages               of               having               variable               costs               as               well.

In               keeping               our               cost               of               raw               materials               variable,               we               are               able               to               produce               only               what               is               needed.

Of               course,               this               doesn't               allow               for               ends               to               be               tied               up               as               neat               and               easy               as               fixed               costs               would.

However,               variable               costs               would               allow               us               to               measure               success               and               short-comings,               as               well               as               test               new               products               more               easily               (CTU,               2007).
               As               you               can               see,               there               are               pros               and               cons               to               each               type               of               cost               and               monthly               expense.

Assuming               that               all               expenses               are               variable               would               underestimate               costs               since               it               will               not               report               for               the               cost               of               unused               or               unsold               product.

Assuming               all               costs               are               fixed               will               overestimate               costs               since               it               will               not               account               for               the               flexible               resources               that               the               organization               will               need.

It               is               my               position               that               Claire's               Antiques               continue               with               its'               current               mixed               cost               analysis               to               continue               with               successful               business               (Atkinson,               Kaplan,               Matsumura,               &               Young,               pg               33,               2007).
