In the manufacturing section, we are most interested in production costs, and for the remainder of this post we will ignore the others. A possible reason for the lack of reported benefits associated with ABC is that the AIS are not integrated with the manufacturing systems. With a clear understanding of the concepts, you are then ready to experience the second section–Accounting Applications. If you are busy or if you are already working, then it is highly advisable that you choose an accounting school that will give you the greatest flexibility.

Figure 1-8: The Excel Help system window. This means that you can update GL balances straight from the invoice entry (or any other transaction entry) window. This means we treat carriage on purchases as though we were just buying more stock at that price. Buying raw materials is perhaps the simplest transaction to deal with. This section assumes that you know that the “Raw Materials Stock” account represents direct materials. Note that carriage on purchases is probably going to appear in every test and exam that covers this section! Raw Materials Stock — now with carriage on purchases paid from Petty Cash. We consider Direct Labour and Direct Materials Cost to be the only two direct costs. This means that variable costs will be zero if no goods are produced, and would be bigger if 100 units were produced, and even bigger if 1000 units were produced. It means that only mistakes in nominal accounts and goods account will effect the net profit. When we buy indirect raw materials, we usually put them into the expense account Consumable Stores, which we treat like Stationery or any of the other consumable stores accounts that we have dealt with. • The turn-around time can be quick due to the difference in the time zone between nations like USA and India.

This is where the fall in value of a non-current asset is due to wear and tear as a result of its constant use. However, when we started producing, our machines would use more electricity and so we would have costs that rose as we produced more. Note that this does not mean that fixed costs have to stay the same every month — it just means that fixed costs have nothing to do with the number of units produced. This means that fixed costs would be the same regardless of whether we produced zero, 100, or 1000 units. If we produced no goods at all, the cost wouldn’t be zero, because we’d still have to pay for lighting, electric fences, security cameras and so on. Direct Costs are costs that are directly applicable to the goods being produced. Because all these costs make up the historic cost, we add costs like carriage on purchases directly to the asset account.

Any reporting currency or secondary ledger associated with the selected primary ledger is also processed; i.e. entries are generated for the selected primary as well as reporting currencies and non-valuation method secondaries. This program is run for primary ledgers or valuation method enabled secondary ledgers. For example, depreciation is a fixed cost — it does not depend on the number of units produced, even though it may be different from one period to the next if we calculate it using the diminishing balance method. Using signs that are easy to see and understand is an excellent and simple solution for that.
