Using Cost HierarchiesL.O. 2 Use the hierarchy of costs to manage costs.

Managing the Costs of Customersand Suppliers
L.O. 3 Describe how the actions of customersand suppliers affect a firm’s costs.
• Information on customer profitability isimportant for managers, so they can makedecisions that will improve firm performance.
10 - 4
Using ABC Costing:Customers and Suppliers
L.O. 4 Use activity-based costing methodsto assess customer and supplier costs.
Step 1: Identify the activities that consume resources.
Step 2: Identify the cost driver associated with each activity.
Step 3: Compute a cost rate per cost driver for each unitor transaction.
Step 4: Assign costs to customers by multiplying the cost driverrate by the volume of cost driver units consumed by theactivity or transaction that occurred.
• Use the same four-step ABC product costingprocess to assess customers and suppliers.

Using and Supplying Resources
L.O. 5 Distinguish between resources usedand resources supplied.
• Resources used:Cost driver rate multiplied bythe cost driver volume
• Resources supplies:Expenditures or the amountsspent on a specific activity
• Unused capacity:Difference between resourcesused and resources supplied
10 - 11
Computing the Cost of Unused Capacity
L.O. 6 Design cost management systems to assign capacity costs.
• Actual activity:Actual volume for the period
• Theoretical capacity:Amount of production possible under idealconditions with no time for maintenance,breakdowns, or absenteeism.
10 - 12
Computing the Cost of Unused CapacityLO6
• Practical capacity:Amount of production possible assuming only theexpected downtime for scheduled maintenanceand normal breaks and vacations.
• Normal activity:Long-run expected volume
10 - 13
Managing the Cost of Quality
L.O. 7 Describe how activities that influencequality affect costs and profitability.
• Quality as defined by the customer
• Organization is managed to excel on all dimensions
10 - 14
Cost of QualityL.O. 8 Compare the costs of quality control
to the costs of failing to control quality.
• Prevention: Costs incurred to prevent defects in theproducts or services being produced– Materials inspection– Process control– Quality training– Machine inspection– Product design
• Appraisal: Costs incurred to detect individual units ofproducts that do not conform to specifications– End-of-process sampling– Field testing
10 - 15
Cost of QualityLO8
• Internal failure: Costs incurred when nonconforming productsand services are detected before beingdelivered to customers.– Scrap– Rework– Reinspection/Retesting
• External failure: Costs incurred when nonconforming productsand services are detected after being deliveredto customers.– Warranty repairs– Product liability– Marketing costs– Lost sales
