Differences Between Managerial and Financial Accounting
(slide 4 of 4)
• Unlike the financial statements prepared in financial
accounting, managerial accounting reports do not always
have to be:
1.
Prepared according to generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).
▪ Only the company’s management uses the information.
▪ In many cases, GAAP are not relevant to the specific decisionmaking needs of management.
2.
Prepared at fixed intervals (monthly, quarterly, yearly).
▪ Although some management reports are prepared at fixed intervals,
most reports are prepared as management needs the information.
3.
Prepared for the business as a whole.
▪ Most management reports are prepared for products, projects, sales
territories, or other segments of the company.

Managerial Accounting in the Organization
(slide 1 of 2)
• Most large companies are organized in terms of
“verticals” and “horizontals.”
o Verticals are sometimes referred to as business
units, because they are often structured as separate
businesses within the parent company.
▪ Verticals develop products that are sold directly co
customers.
o Horizontals are departments within the company that
are not responsible for developing products.
▪ Horizontals provide services to the various verticals and
other horizontals.

The Management Process
(slide 2 of 2)

Planning
• Management uses planning in developing the
company’s objectives (goals) and translating
these objectives into courses of action.
• Planning may be classified as follows:
1.
Strategic planning, which is developing long-term
actions to achieve the company’s objectives.
▪ These long-term courses of action are called strategies,
which often involve periods of 5 to 10 years.
2.
Operational planning, which develops short-term
actions for managing the day-to-day operations of
the company.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Directing
• The process by which managers run day-to-day
operations is called directing.
o For example, directing is a production supervisor’s
efforts to keep the production line moving without
interruption (downtime).
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Controlling
• Monitoring operating results and comparing
actual results with the expected results is
controlling.
1.
This feedback allows management to isolate areas
for further investigation and possible remedial
action.
• The philosophy of controlling by comparing
actual and expected results is called
management by exception.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Improving
• Continuous process improvement is the
philosophy of continually improving employees,
business processes, and products.
1.
The objective of continuous process improvement is
to eliminate the source of problems in a process.
▪ In this way, the right products (or services) are delivered in
the right quantities at the right time.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Decision Making
• Inherent in each of the preceding management
processes is decision making.
1.
In managing a company, management must
continually decide among alternative actions.

Uses of Managerial Accounting Information
• Managerial accounting provides information and reports
for managers to use in operating the business.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The cost of manufacturing a product could be used to determine
its selling price.
Comparing the costs of manufacturing products over time and
can be used to monitor and control costs.
Performance reports could be used to identify any large amounts
of scrap or employee downtime.
A report could analyze the potential efficiencies and savings of
purchasing a new computerized equipment to speed up the
production process.
A report could analyze how many units need to be sold to cover
operating costs and expenses. Such information could be used
to set monthly selling targets and bonuses for sales personnel.

Manufacturing Operations
• The operations of a business can be classified
as service, retail, or manufacturing.
1.
Most of the managerial accounting concepts that
apply to manufacturing businesses also apply to
service and merchandising businesses.
▪ The manufacturing operations for a guitar manufacturer,
Legend Guitars, is illustrated on the following slide.

Direct and Indirect Costs
(slide 1 of 2)
• A cost is a sacrifice made to obtain some
benefit.
1.
In managerial accounting, costs are often classified
according to the decision-making needs of
management.
▪ For example, costs are often classified by their relationship
to a segment of operations, called a cost object.
– A cost object may be a product, a sales territory, a department,
or an activity, such as research and development.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Direct and Indirect Costs
(slide 2 of 2)
• Costs identified with cost objects are either
direct costs or indirect costs.
1.
Direct costs are identified with and can be traced
to a cost object.
▪ For example, the cost of wood used to make guitars is a
direct cost.
2.
Indirect costs cannot be identified with or traced
to a cost object.
▪ For example, the salaries of production supervisors are
indirect costs of producing a guitar because their salaries
cannot be identified with or traced to any individual guitar.

Classifying Direct and Indirect Costs
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Manufacturing Costs
• The cost of a manufactured product includes the
cost of materials used in making the product.
• In addition, the cost of a manufactured product
includes the cost of converting the materials into
a finished product.
• Thus, the cost of a finished product includes:
1.
Direct materials cost
2.
Direct labor cost
3.
Factory overhead cost

Manufacturing Costs of Legend Guitars
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Direct Materials Cost
• Manufactured products begin with raw materials that are
converted into finished products.
• To be classified as a direct materials cost, the cost
must be both of the following:
1.
An integral part of the finished product
2.
A significant portion of the total cost of the product
• Examples of direct materials costs include the following:
1.
The cost of the wood used in producing a guitar
2.
The cost of electronic components for a television
3.
Silicon wafers for microcomputer chips
4.
Tires for an automobile
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Direct Labor Cost
• Most manufacturing processes use employees to convert
materials into finished products.
• The cost of employee wages that is an integral part of the
finished product is classified as direct labor cost.
• A direct labor cost must meet both of the following criteria:
1.
An integral part of the finished product
2.
A significant portion of the total cost of the product
• Examples of direct labor costs include the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The wages of employees who cut guitars out of raw lumber and
assemble them
Mechanics’ wages for repairing an automobile
Machine operators’ wages for manufacturing tools
Assemblers’ wages for assembling a laptop computer
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Factory Overhead Cost
(slide 1 of 2)
• Costs other than direct materials cost and direct labor that
are incurred in the manufacturing process are combined
and classified as factory overhead cost (sometimes
called manufacturing overhead or factory burden).
• All factory overhead costs are indirect costs of the product.
• Some factory overhead costs include the following:
1.
Heating and lighting the factory
2.
Repairing and maintaining factory equipment
3.
Property taxes on factory buildings and land
4.
Insurance on factory buildings
5.
Depreciation of factory plant and equipment

Prime Costs and Conversion Costs
(slide 1 of 2)
• Direct materials, direct labor, and factory
overhead costs may be grouped together for
analysis and reporting.
1.
Two such common groupings are as follows:
▪ Prime costs, which consist of direct materials and direct
labor costs
▪ Conversion costs, which consist of direct labor and
factory overhead costs
– Conversion costs are the costs of converting the materials
into a finished product.
• Direct labor is both a prime cost and a
conversion cost.

Product Costs and Period Costs
(slide 2 of 2)
• As product costs are incurred, they are recorded
and reported on the balance sheet as inventory.
When the inventory is sold, the cost of the
manufactured product sold is reported as cost of
goods sold on the income statement.
• Period costs are reported as expenses on the
income statement in the period in which they are
incurred, and, thus, they never appear on the
balance sheet.

Financial Statements for a Manufacturing Business
• The statement of stockholders’ equity and
statement of cash flows for a manufacturing
business are similar to those for service and retail
businesses.
• However, the balance sheet and income statement
for a manufacturing business are more complex.
1.
This is because a manufacturer makes the products
that it sells and, thus, must record and report product
costs.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Balance Sheet for a Manufacturing Business
• A manufacturing business reports three types of inventory
on its balance sheet as follows:
1.
Materials inventory (sometimes called raw materials inventory)
consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have
not yet entered the manufacturing process.
2.
Work in process inventory consists of the direct materials, direct
labor, and factory overhead costs for products that have entered
the manufacturing process, but are not yet completed (in process).
3.
Finished goods inventory consists of completed (or finished)
products that have not been sold.

Income Statement for a Manufacturing Business
(slide 2 of 7)
• A retail business determines its cost of good sold
by first adding its net purchases for the period to its
beginning inventory.
o This determines inventory available for sale during the
period. The ending inventory is then subtracted to
determine the cost of good sold.
• A manufacturing business makes the products it
sells, using direct materials, direct labor, and
factory overhead.
o Manufacturing business must determine its cost of
goods manufactured during the period.

Managerial Accounting Differences Between
Manufacturing and Service Companies
Manufacturing
Services
Users materials, work in process, and
finished goods inventory.
Inventory is often limited to supplies.
Uses both product and period costs.
Uses only period costs.
Uses costs of good sold on the income
statement.
May use cost of services on the income statement.
Manufacturing requires a physical
production site.
Many services require a network that connects service to the
customer. Examples include telecommunications, banking,
power distribution, distributed entertainment, and
transportation.
Manufacturing overhead is an indirect cost
in manufacturing products.
Overhead is an indirect cost incurred in serving customers.
Labor is a direct cost to products.
Labor is not a direct cost to products, but may be direct cos
to customers. Examples are accountants in accounting firm
or doctors in a medical practice.
Materials are a direct cost to products.
Materials are often an indirect cost, but may be significant,
such as fuel for transportation or utilities. In other cases,
materials are not significant, such as financial, leisure,
information, or education services.

Utilization Rates (slides 1 of 3)
• A utilization rate measures the use of a fixed
asset in serving customers relative to the asset’s
capacity.
o A higher utilization rate is considered favorable, while
a lower utilization rate is considered unfavorable.
• Different service industries will have different
names and computations used for measuring
utilization rates.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Utilization Rates (slides 2 of 3)
• In the hotel industry, for example, utilization is
measured by the occupancy rate, which is
computed as:
Occupancy rate =
Guest nights
Available room nights
o Where,
▪ Guest nights = Number of guests × Number of nights per visit
(per time period)
▪ Available room nights = Number of available rooms ×
Number of nights per time period
o The number of guests is determined under single
room occupancy, so that the number of guests is
equal to the number of occupied rooms.

Utilization Rates (slides 3 of 3)
• Assume EasyRest Hotel is a single hotel with
150 rooms. During the month of June, the hotel
had 3,600 guests, each staying for a single
night. The occupancy rate would be determined
as follows:
Guest nights
Available room nights
3,600 guest nights
=
= 80%
150 rooms × 30days
Occupancy rate =
o The hotel was occupied to 80% of capacity, which
would be considered favorable.

Preface
Roadmap for Success
Warren/Tayler Managerial Accounting, 15e, provides a sound pedagogy for giving s­ tudents a solid
foundation in managerial accounting. Warren/Tayler covers the fundamentals AND ­motivates students to learn by showing how accounting is important to businesses.
Warren/Tayler is successful because it reaches students with a combination of new and tried-andtested pedagogy.
This revision includes a range of new and existing features that help Warren/Tayler provide
­students with the context to see how accounting is valuable to business. These include:
▪▪ New! Make a Decision section
▪▪ New! Pathways Challenge
▪▪ New! Certified Management Accountant (CMA®) Examination Questions
Warren/Tayler also includes a thorough grounding in the fundamentals that any business student
will need to be successful. These key features include:
▪▪ Presentation style designed around the way students learn
▪▪ Updated schema
▪▪ At the start of each chapter, a schema, or roadmap, shows students what they are going to
learn and how it is connected to the larger picture. The schema illustrates how the chapter
content lays the foundation with managerial concepts and principles. Then it moves students
through developing the information and ultimately into evaluating and analyzing information
in order to make decisions.

accountan increase in production from 20,000 units to 25,000 units means that the
fixed manufacturing
cost per unit decreases from $20 ($400,000 ÷ 20,000 units) to $16 ($400,000 ÷ 25,000 units). Thus,
ing is used in the real world by real companies.
the cost of goods sold when 25,000 units are manufactured is $4 per unit less, or $80,000 less in
total (20,000 units sold × $4). Since the cost of goods sold is less, operating income is $80,000
more when 25,000 units rather than 20,000 units are manufactured.
Managers should be careful in analyzing operating income under absorption costing when finished goods inventory changes. Increases in operating income may be created by simply increasing finished goods inventory. Thus, managers could misinterpret such increases (or decreases) in
operating income as due to changes in sales volume, prices, or costs.
Adobe Systems Inc.
A
ssume that you have three different options for a summer job.
How would you evaluate these options? Naturally there are
many things to consider, including how much you could earn from
each job.
Determining how much you could earn from each job may
not be as simple as comparing the wage rate per hour. For example, a job as an office clerk at a local company pays $8 per hour. A
job delivering pizza pays $10 per hour (including estimated tips),
although you must use your own transportation. Another job working in a beach resort over 500 miles away from your home pays $8
per hour. All three jobs offer 40 hours per week for the whole summer. If these options were ranked according to their pay per hour,
the pizza delivery job would be the most attractive. However, the
costs associated with each job must also be evaluated. For example, the office job may require that you pay for downtown parking and purchase office clothes. The pizza delivery job will require
you to pay for gas and maintenance for your car. The resort job will
require you to move to the resort city and incur additional living
costs. Only by considering the costs for each job will you be able to
determine which job will provide you with the most income.
Just as you should evaluate the relative income of various
choices, a business also evaluates the income earned from its
choices. Important choices include the products offered and the
geographical regions to be served.
A company will often evaluate the profitability of products
and regions. For example, Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE),
one of the largest software companies in the world, determines
the income earned from its various product lines, such as Acrobat®,
Photoshop®, Premiere®, and Dreamweaver® software. Adobe uses
this information to establish product line pricing, as well as sales,
support, and development effort. Likewise, Adobe evaluates the
income earned in the geographic regions it serves, such as the
United States, Europe, and Asia. Again, such information aids management in managing revenue and expenses within the regions.
In this chapter, how businesses measure profitability using
absorption costing and variable costing is discussed. After illustrating and comparing these concepts, how businesses use them for
controlling costs, pricing products, planning production, analyzing
market segments, and analyzing contribution margins is described
and illustrated.

Adobe Systems
Under variable costing, operating income is $200,000, regardless of whether 20,000 units or
25,000 units are manufactured. This is because no fixed manufacturing costs are allocated to the
units manufactured. Instead, all fixed manufacturing costs are treated as a period expense.
To illustrate, Exhibit 8 shows the variable costing income statements for Frand for the
production of 20,000 units, 25,000 units, and 30,000 units. In each case, the operating income
is $200,000.

from international segments. Given the revenue segmentation,
this suggests that the international profit margins must be higher
than the North American profit margin. Indeed this is the case, as

Nonmanufacturing Staffing Budgets
The budgeting illustrated in this chapter is similar to budgeting used for nonmanufacturing
businesses. However, many nonmanufacturing businesses often do not have direct materials
purchases budgets, direct labor cost budgets, or factory overhead cost budgets. Thus, the budgeted income statement is simplified in many nonmanufacturing settings.
A primary budget in nonmanufacturing businesses is the labor, or staffing, budget. This budget, which is highly flexible to service demands, is used to manage staffing levels. For example,
a theme park will have greater staffing in the summer vacation months than in the fall months.
Likewise, a retailer will have greater staffing during the holidays than on typical weekdays.
To illustrate, Concord Hotel operates a hotel in a business district. The hotel has 150 rooms
that average 120 guests per night during the weekdays and 50 guests per night during the weekend. The housekeeping staff is able to clean 10 rooms per employee. The number of housekeepers required for an average weekday and weekend is determined as follows:
Weekday
Weekend
120
÷ 10
12
50
÷ 10
5
Number of guests per day
Rooms per housekeeper
Number of housekeepers per day
If each housekeeper is paid $15 per hour for an eight-hour shift per day, the annual budget
for the staff is as follows:
Weekday
Number of housekeepers per day
Hours per shift
Days per year
Number of hours per year
Rate per hour
Housekeeping staff annual budget

The budget can be used to plan and manage the staffing of the hotel. For example,
if a wedding were booked for the weekend, the budgeted increase in staffing could be
compared with the increased revenue from the wedding to verify the profit plan.

Preface
Help Students Go Beyond Memorization to True
Understanding
Students often struggle to understand how concepts relate to one another. For most students, an
introductory accounting course is their first exposure to both business transactions and the accounting system. While these concepts are already difficult to master individually, their combination
and interdependency in the introductory accounting course often pose a challenge for students.
▪▪ Mastery Problems. Mastery Problems enable you to assign problems and activities designed to
test students’ comprehension and mastery of difficult concepts.

Gibson Guitars
G
ibson guitars have been used by musical legends over the
years, including B.B. King, Chet Atkins, Brian Wilson (Beach
Boys), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Jackson Browne, John Fogerty,
Jose F­ eliciano, Miranda Lambert, Sheryl Crow, and ­Wynonna Judd.
For example, Sheryl Crow has used her 1964 Gibson Country Western guitar in all of her recordings.
Known for its quality, Gibson Guitars ­celebrated its 120th
anniversary in 2014. Staying in business for over 120 years requires
a thorough understanding of how to manufacture high-quality
­guitars.1 In addition, it requires knowledge of how to account for
the costs of making guitars. For example, Gibson needs cost information to answer the following questions:
This chapter introduces managerial accounting concepts that are
useful in addressing these questions. This chapter begins by ­describing
managerial accounting and its relationship to financial accounting.
Following this overview, the management process is described along
with the role of managerial accounting. Finally, characteristics of managerial accounting reports, managerial ­accounting terms, and uses of
managerial accounting information are described and illustrated.

▪ What should be the selling price of its guitars?
▪ How many guitars does it have to sell in a year to cover its
costs and earn a profit?
▪ How many employees should the company have working on
each stage of the manufacturing process?

In May 2016, Gibson Guitars filed for bankruptcy. Gibson blamed its financial woes on the debt it had incurred by acquiring companies that produced headphones, turntables,
and speakers. After satisfying its creditors and reorganizing, Gibson plans to focus its future operations on its core competency—the manufacture of guitars.

Managerial Accounting
Managers make numerous decisions during the day-to-day operations of a business and in planning
for the future. Managerial accounting provides much of the information used for these decisions.

described and illustrated follow:
▪▪ Classifying manufacturing and other costs and reporting them in the financial statements
(Chapter 1)
▪▪ Determining the cost of manufacturing a product or providing a service (Chapters 2, 3, 4,
and 5)
▪▪ Evaluating the impact of cost allocation and activity-based costing (Chapters 4, 5)
▪▪ Estimating the behavior of costs for various levels of activity and assessing cost-volume-profit
relationships (Chapter 6)
▪▪ Evaluating operating performance using cost behavior relationships (Chapter 7)
▪▪ Planning for the future by preparing budgets (Chapter 8)
▪▪ Evaluating manufacturing costs by comparing actual with expected results (Chapter 9)
▪▪ Evaluating decentralized operations by comparing actual and budgeted costs as well as computing various measures of profitability (Chapter 10)
▪▪ Evaluating special decision-making situations by comparing differential revenues and costs,
pricing products, and managing bottlenecks (Chapter 11)
▪▪ Evaluating alternative proposals for long-term investments in fixed assets (Chapter 12)
▪▪ Planning operations using principles of lean manufacturing and activity analysis (Chapter 13)
▪▪ Evaluating company performance using the balanced scorecard and corporate responsibility
metrics (Chapter 14)
