The report began with a brief overview of the purpose and reason behind preparing it. We
have chosen an organization submitted by you named Modern Dyeing and Screen
Printing Ltd for reporting purpose. The company is primarily driven with a view of
creating opportunities and pursuing market niches. The report mainly deals with
Application of Managerial Accounting. It covers almost all necessary information of the
respective topic.
We have selected some chapters of our Managerial accounting Textbook. And from the
selected chapters we have showed the application of such types of accounting methods in real
life situations and we have applied this by collecting the data from Modern Dyeing and
Screen Printing Ltd.
The introductory part ended with the scopes & confinements of the assigned subject. The next
segment of the report started with an elaborate overview and applications of managerial
accounting methods. We have shown cost concepts and cost behaviours in the organization.
We have also shown that how fixed, variable and mixed costs are allocated in the
organizations management. In cost-volume-profit analysis we have calculated their break-
even sales and also what could their targeted be evaluated. We have also proved that we use
contribution format income statement for getting tax exemption. By Activity based costing
method we have known that how we could make the cost pools. We have shown that how
they prepared different types of budgets like- sales budget, cash budget, direct material
budget, manufacturing overhead budget etc. For finding out the defaults they make flexible
performance report and operating performance measurement report by contrasting actual
results with the budgeted ones. At last we have shown the segmented report of Modern
Dyeing and Screen Printing Ltd by showing different segmented income statement.

1.0 Cost Classification:
Manufacturing companies convert raw materials into a product. The company then sells that
product either to other companies or, less commonly, directly to individuals. Manufacturing
includes restaurants, movie studios, and other service-type companies as well as the more
obvious examples of manufacturing such as automobile and clothing production.
Merchandising companies, by contrast, buy finished products and resell the products to
customers. Valuing inventories and determining cost of goods sold is simple in a
merchandising company, but is difficult in a manufacturing company.
These costs are incurred to make a product. Manufacturing costs are usually grouped into
three main categories: direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
a. Direct materials. Direct materials consist of those raw material inputs that become an
integral part of a finished product and can be easily traced into it. Examples include
the aircraft engines on a Boeing 777, the Intel processing chip in a personal computer,
and the blank video cassette in a pre-recorded video.
b. Direct Labor. Direct labor consists of that portion of labor cost that can be easily
traced to a product. Direct labor is sometimes referred to as touch labor since it
consists of the costs of workers who touch the product as it is being made.
c. Manufacturing Overhead. Manufacturing overhead consists of all manufacturing
costs other than direct materials and direct labor. These costs cannot be easily and
conveniently traced to products. Examples include supervisors, janitors, and factory
facility charges.
d. Prime versus Conversion Costs. Prime cost consists of direct materials plus direct
labor. Conversion cost consists of direct labor plus manufacturing overhead.
Non-manufacturing costs.
A manufacturing company incurs many other costs in addition to manufacturing costs. For
financial reporting purposes most of these other costs are typically classified as selling
Page 7 of 108
(marketing) costs and administrative costs. Marketing and administrative costs are incurred in
both manufacturing and merchandising firms.
a. Marketing Costs. These costs include the costs of making sales, taking customer orders,
and delivering the product to customers. These costs are also referred to as order-getting and
order-filling costs.
b. Administrative Costs. These costs include all executive, organizational, and clerical costs
that are not classified as production or marketing costs.
a. Period Costs. Period costs are expensed in the time period in which they are incurred.
All selling and administrative costs are typically considered to be period costs. For
example, administrative salary costs are incurred when they are earned and not
necessarily when they are paid to employees.
b. Product Costs. Product costs are added to units of product (i.e., inventoried) as
they are incurred and are not treated as expenses until the units are sold. This can
result in a delay of one or more periods between the time in which the cost is incurred
and when it appears as an expense on the income statement. Product costs are also
known as inventorial costs.
a. Fixed Costs:
Fixed costs are those which do not change with the level of activity within the relevant range.
These costs will incur even if no units are produced. For example rent expense, straight-line
depreciation expense, etc.
b. Variable Costs:
Page 8 of 108
Variable costs change in direct proportion to the level of production. This means that total
variable cost increase when more units are produced and decreases when less units are
produced. Although variable in total, these costs are constant per unit.
c. Mixed Costs:
Mixed costs or semi-variable costs have properties of both fixed and variable costs due to
presence of both variable and fixed components in them. An example of mixed cost is
telephone expense because it usually consists of a fixed component such as line rent and
fixed subscription charges as well as variable cost charged per minute cost. Another example
of mixed cost is delivery cost which has a fixed component of depreciation cost of trucks and
a variable component of fuel expense.
Every decision involves choosing from among at least two alternatives. Only those costs and
benefits that differ between alternatives are relevant in making the selection.
1. Differential Costs. A differential cost is a cost that differs between alternatives. The cost
may exist in only one of the alternatives or the total amount of the cost may differ between
the alternatives. In the latter case, the differential cost would be the difference between the
cost under one alternative and the cost under the other. Differential costs are also called
incremental costs.
3. Sunk Cost. A sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and that cannot be changed
by any decision made now or in the future. Since sunk costs cannot be changed and therefore
cannot be differential costs, they should be ignored in decision making.

1.2. Cost Behavior:
The idea of cost behavior is one of the most important concepts in managerial accounting.
Determining how a cost will behave is critical to planning, decision making and controlling.
Two types of costs are discussed in this post: variable costs and fixed costs. These types of
costs get their names because of how they behave when we look at the costs in total.
Variable Costs:
Variable costs are costs that increase incrementally as a driver increases. A driver is an
activity or event that causes a cost to increase. All variable costs must have a driver. Two of
the most common drivers used in managerial accounting are units and hours, but there are
lots of different drivers that could be used like customers or miles. If you can determine that a
cost is driven by a particular activity, you can use that driver to calculate a variable cost.
A variable cost must have a rate. The rate is expressed as a cost per unit of the driver. For
example, direct labor costs are expressed as dollars per direct labor hour. To calculate the
total variable cost, multiply the rate by the units of activity.
In our planning and decision making calculations, we assume that the variable rate stays the
same. Only the driver increases or decreases. Because the rate stays the same, the cost will
increase by the amount of the rate for each additional unit of activity. All variable costs will
be zero if there is no activity.
Example: Direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead, and variable selling
costs.
Page 11 of 108
Fixed Costs:
Fixed costs are costs that do not change as activity levels increase. Fixed costs do not have a
driver. Most fixed costs are expressed in terms of time, like per month or per year. No matter
what happens during that time, the cost stays the same. If the company pays $12,000 per
month for rent, it does not matter if the company produces no units or is at maximum
capacity. The rent is the same.
Sometimes, fixed costs are expressed as per unit cost or a per hour cost for a certain level of
activity. These lead people to believe that these are actually variable costs. It is possible to
express a fixed cost on a per unit basis but remember that the total cost is not driven by that
activity. The total cost is still the same no matter how many units of activity occur.
The high-low method is a simple technique for computing the variable cost rate and the total
amount of fixed costs that are part of mixed cost. Mixed costs are costs that are partially
variable and partially fixed. Example: The cost of electricity used in a factory is likely to be a
mixed cost since some of the electricity will vary with the number of machine hours, while
some of the cost will not vary with machine hours. Perhaps this second part of the electricity
cost is associated with circulating and chilling the air in the factory and from the public utility
billing its large customers with a significant fixed monthly charge not directly tied to the
kilowatt hours of electricity used.
1) The total dollars of the mixed costs occurring at the highest volume of activity, and
2) The total dollars of the mixed costs occurring at the lowest volume of activity.
It is assumed that at both points of activity the total amount of fixed costs is the same.
Therefore, the change in the total costs is assumed to be the variable cost rate times the
change in the number of units of activity. Prior to using the high-low method, it is important
to plot or graph all of the data available to be certain that the two sets of numbers being used
are indeed representative.
Page 12 of 108
2. Scatter Graph Method
Scatter graph method is a graphical technique of separating fixed and variable components of
mixed cost by plotting activity level along x-axis and corresponding total cost (mixed cost)
along y-axis. A regression line is then drawn on the graph by visual inspection. The line thus
drawn is used to estimate the total fixed cost and variable cost per unit. The point where the
line intercepts y-axis is the estimated fixed cost and the slope of the line is the average
variable cost per unit. Since the visual inspection does not involve any mathematical testing
therefore this method should be applied with great care.
Procedure:
Plot the data on scatter graph. Plot activity level (i.e. number of units, labor hours etc.) along
x-axis and total mixed cost along y-axis.
Draw a regression line over the scatter graph by visual inspection and try to minimize the
total vertical distance between the line and all the points. Extend the line towards y-axis.
Total fixed is given by the y-intercept of the line. Y-intercept is the point at which the line
cuts y-axis.
Variable cost per unit is equal to the slope of the line. Take two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on
the line and calculate variable cost using the following formula:
Page 13 of 108
Page 14 of 108
1.3. CVP
A critical part of CVP analysis is the point where total revenues equal total costs (both fixed
and variable costs). At this break-even point, a company will experience no income or loss.
This break-even point can be an initial examination that precedes more detailed CVP
analysis.
CVP analysis employs the same basic assumptions as in breakeven analysis. The assumptions
underlying CVP analysis are:
The behavior of both costs and revenues are linear throughout the relevant range of
activity. (This assumption precludes the concept of volume discounts on either purchased
materials or sales.)
All units produced are sold (there is no ending finished goods inventory).
When a company sells more than one type of product, the product mix (the ratio of
each product to total sales) will remain constant.
Page 15 of 108
1.5. Components:
Formula:
The basic formula used in CVP Analysis is derived from profit equation:
px = vx + FC + Profit
In the above formula,
p is price per unit;
v is variable cost per unit;
x are total number of units produced and sold; and
FC is total fixed cost
Besides the above formula, CVP analysis also makes use of following concepts:
Page 16 of 108
Contribution Margin Ratio (CM Ratio)
Contribution Margin Ratio is calculated by dividing contribution margin by total sales or unit
CM by price per unit.
We learned that, at break-even point, the CVP analysis equation is reduced to:
px = vx + FC
Where p is the price per unit, x is the number of units, v is variable cost per unit and FC is
total fixed cost.
Since unit contribution margin (Unit CM) is equal to unit sale price (p) less unit variable cost
(v), so,
Unit CM = p v
Therefore,
Example:
Calculate the break-even point in units and in sales dollars when sales price per unit is $35,
variable cost per unit is $28 and total fixed cost is $7,000.
Solution:
Page 17 of 108
Contribution Margin per Unit = ( $35 $28 ) = $7
To calculate the margin of safety, subtract the current breakeven point from sales, and divide by sales.
The formula is:
For example, a software company has substantial fixed costs in the form of developer
salaries, but has almost no variable costs associated with each incremental software sale; this
Page 18 of 108
firm has high operating leverage. Conversely, a consulting firm bills its clients by the hour,
and incurs variable costs in the form of consultant wages. This firm has low operating
leverage.
To calculate operating leverage, divide an entitys contribution margin by its net operating
income. The contribution margin is sales minus variable expenses.
CM
Operating Leverage = Net operating income

1.10.Variable Costing
1. Theoretical aspects:
1) Absorption costing: Absorption costing means that all of the manufacturing costs are
absorbed by the units produced. In other words, the cost of a finished unit in inventory will
include direct materials, direct labor, and both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead.
2) Variable costing: A variable costing is a cost that varies in relation to changes in the
volume of activity. The variable cost concept can be used to model the future financial
performance of a business, as well as to set minimum price points. The most common
variable costs are:- Direct materials, Commissions.
Income reported under variable costing and absorption costing is different. It is only the
different value of inventory under the two costing income statements that changes the amount
of the net income. Except the value of inventory, we do not find any other differences. As the
size of inventory increases or decreases during the year, the reported income differs under
variable and absorption costing. This results from the fixed overheads that are included in the
inventory valuation under absorption costing but are expended immediately under variable
costing. Under absorption costing this period's factory overheads are postponed to the next
year whereas under variable costing it is expended during
Difference in net income= (Change in the size of inventory units) x (Difference in product
cost per unit)
The difference in net income is the same as the difference in the size of inventory value. So
with a change in the size of inventory, profits also change.
Page 21 of 108
1. Absorption costing recognizes fixed costs in product cost. As it is suitable for determining
price of the product, the pricing based on absorption costing ensures that all costs are
covered.
2. Absorption costing will show correct profit calculation than variable costing in a situation
where production is done to have sales in future ( eg. seasonal production and seasonal sales).
3. Absorption costing conforms with accrual and matching accounting concepts which
requires matching costs with revenue for a particular accounting period.
1. Absorption costing is not useful for decision making. It considers fixed manufacturing
overhead as product cost which increase the cost of output. As a result, it does not help in
accepting specially offered price for the product. Various types of managerial problems
relating to decision making can be solved only with the help of variable costing system.
2. Absorption costing is not helpful in control of cost and planning and control functions. It is
not useful in fixing the responsibility for incurrence of costs. It is not practical to hold a
manager accountable for costs over which he/she has not control.
3. Some current product costs can be remove from the income statement by producing for
inventory. As such, managers who are evaluated on the basis of operating income can
temporarily improve profitability by increasing production.
1. Variable costing provides a better understanding of the effect of fixed costs on the net profits
because total fixed cost for the period is shown on the income statement.
2. Various methods of controlling costs such as standard costing system and flexible budgets
have close relation with the variable costing system. Understanding variable costing system
makes the use of those methods easy.
3. Companies using variable costing system prepare income statement in contribution
margin format that provides necessary information for cost volume profit (CVP) analysis.
Page 22 of 108
This data cannot be directly obtained from a traditional income statement prepared under
absorption costing system.
Disadvantages
4. Financial statements prepared under variable costing method do not conform to generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The auditors may refuse to accept them.
5. Tax laws of various countries require the use of absorption costing.
6. Variable costing does not assign fixed cost to units of products. So the production costs
cannot be truly matched with revenues.
Absorption costing is usually the base for evaluating top executives efficiency.
Page 23 of 108
1.14. Activity-based costing (ABC)
A technique for allocating costs to a product, service, customer, etc. The premise is that
activities cause an organization to incur costs. Once the costs of the activities have been
identified and each activity's cost has been determined, the cost of the activities is then
allocated to the product, service, customer, etc. that required the activity. This technique is
more logical for allocating overhead than simply allocating costs based on machine hours or
direct labor hours.
Advantages:
1. Product cost determination under activity-based costing is more accurate and reliable
because it focuses on the cause and effect linkage of costs and activities in the context of
producing goods.
2. Fixation of selling price for multi-products under activity-based costing is fair and correct
because overheads are allocated on the basis of relevant cost drivers.
3. Control of overheads consisting of fixed and variable becomes possible by controlling and
monitoring activities. Linkage between cost and activities are clearly identified in activity-
based costing and thus provides opportunities to control overhead costs.
4. Sufficient information can be obtained to make decisions about the profitability of different
product lines.
5. Fair allocation of overheads occupy a considerable portion in the total cost components.
Page 24 of 108
Disadvantages:
1. Substantial resources are required since the implementation of this methodology is
considered as a major project. This system seems to have been costly if being implemented
because there are numerous measures that need to be undertaken to ensure that the company
will be ripping the maximum benefit derived from its use.
2. The use of activity based costing produces product margins which are considered odd to
the numbers that is being produced by the traditional costing system.
3. The datas which are being gathered with the use of ABC could have been misinterpreted.
This problem would only be prevented to occur if the input of data or figures is being done
with precision and care. The datas are the one that serves as the basis for the decisions that is
to be done by the managers.

1.16 . Budget
A budget is an itemized summary of future income and expenses for a given period. It
provides a model of the potential financial performance of a business, given that specific
strategies and plans are followed. It helps to identify wasteful expenditures and helps to
achieve financial goals by adapting quickly when financial situation changes.
1. Benefits of Budget
There are some benefits of budgeting which is very important for a business company. A
manager should follow budgeting for some distinct reasons.
A budget can help an organization decipher how to get from here to there, while outlining the
resources required for the company. Furthermore, the budgeting process (i.e., allocating funds
to functions) can serve as a powerful planning tool for top management.
A master budget is the central planning tool that consists a number of separate but
interdependent budgets that formally lay out companys activities as well as judge the
performance of its various responsibility centres. It is a set of interconnected budgets of sales,
Page 26 of 108
production costs, purchases, incomes, etc. and it also includes pro forma financial statements.
A budget is a plan of future financial transactions whereas a master budget serves as planning
and control tool to the management since they can plan the business activities during the
period on the basis of master budget. At the end of each period, actual results can be
compared with the master budget and necessary control actions can be taken. It is typically
presented in either a monthly or quarterly format, or usually covers a company's entire fiscal
year.

5. Budgeted Balance Sheet
Sales Budget
Sales budget is the first and basic component of Master Budget. It shows the expected
number of sales units of a period and the expected price per unit. It also shows total sales
which are simply the product of expected sales units and expected price per unit.
The sales budget is prepared by multiplying the expected unit sales volume for each product
by its anticipated unit selling price. Each of the other budgets such as production budget,
direct material budget, direct labor budget, manufacturing overhead budget & Selling and
administration budget depends on the sales budget. It is derived from the sales forecast. It
represents managements best estimate of sales revenue for the budget period.
Production Budget
A production budget is a financial plan that lists the number of units to be manufactured
during a period. In other words, this is a report that estimates the number of units that a
company will produce from period to period. Managers use the production budget to estimate
how many units they will need to produce in future periods based on the future estimated
sales numbers.
Page 28 of 108
The direct materials budget calculates the materials that must be purchased within the time
period in order to fulfil the requirements of the production budget and to provide adequate
inventories.
The direct labour budget is used to calculate the number of labour hours that will be needed
to produce the units itemized in the production budget.
The manufacturing overhead budget contains all manufacturing costs other than the costs of
direct materials and direct labour which are itemized separately in the direct materials budget
and the direct labour budget.
After preparing sales budget, production budget, direct materials budget, direct labor budget,
and manufacturing overhead budget the management has all the data needed to calculate unit
product cost. This calculation is needed for two reasons: first, to determine cost of goods sold
on the budgeted income statement; and second, to know what amount to put on the balance
sheet inventory account for unsold units. The carrying cost of unsold units is calculated on
Page 29 of 108
the ending inventory finished goods budget. It calculates the cost of the finished goods
inventory at the end of each budget period. It also includes the unit quantity of finished goods
at the end of each budget period, but the real source of that information is the production
budget.
Selling and administrative expense budget is a schedule of planned operating expenses other
than manufacturing costs. It is comprised of the budgets of all non-manufacturing
departments, such as the sales, marketing, accounting, engineering, and facilities
departments.

1.19. Flexible Budget:
A flexible budget is an estimate of what revenues and cost should have been , given the
actual level of activity for the period. It adjusts or flexes for changes in the volume of
activity. Planning budget is valid for only a particular level of activity and it is inappropriate
for evaluating how the costs are controlled. So the flexible budget is prepared when the
activity level differs from the planned level of activity. Then the actual costs are compared to
what the costs should have been for the actual level of activity
Flight Cafe
Flexible Budget
Page 32 of 108
2. Flexible Budget Activity Variances:
After preparing the flexible budget we compare it with the planning budget and find out the
activity variance.
Flight Cafe
Activity variance
Here are some discrepancies between the budgeted profit and actual profit as the actual level
of activity was less than expected. The planning budget shows what should have happened at
the budgeted level of activity whereas the flexible budget shows what should have happened
at the actual level of activity. Therefore, the differences between the planning budget and the
flexible budget show what should have happened solely because the actual level of activity
differed from what had been expected.
For example, the budget based on 1,800 orders show revenue of Tk 29700. The flexible
budget based on 1,700 orders shows revenue of 28050.Because the cafe had 100 order less
than anticipated in the budget, actual revenue should have been lower than budgeted revenue
by Tk 1650. This activity variance is shown on the report as unfavorable. Similarly, the
budget based on 1,000 orders shows utilities of Tk 11250. The flexible budget based on 1,100
orders shows utilities of 10625. Because the cafe had 100 orders less than anticipated in the
Page 33 of 108
budget, actual utilities should have been lower than budgeted costs by 60. The activity
variance for utilities is shown on the report as Tk 60F (favorable). Here other two costs are
also favourable as they are less than expected. But this cost reduction cannot cover the loss in
the revenue. So the net operating income is Tk 925 less than the budgeted. So it is
unfavorable. So we found the impact of the change in activity have on our revenues, costs,
and profit.
Now will see how well we controlled our revenues, our costs, and our profit. So that we have
prepared revenue and spending variance. When we compare this flexible budget to actual
results, we compare what should have happened to what actually happened. Then we find
revenue and spending variance.
Flight Cafe
Page 34 of 108
Focusing first on revenue, the flexible budget indicates that, given the actual level of activity,
revenue should have been Tk28050. However, actual revenue totaled Tk 27920.
Consequently, revenue was Tk 130 less than it should have been, given the actual number of
orders for the month. This discrepancy is labeled as a Tk 130U (unfavorable) variance and is
called a revenue variance.
Focusing next on costs, the flexible budget indicates that utility costs should have been Tk
10625 for the 1,700 client-visits. However, the actual electricity cost was Tk11110. Because
the cost was Tk 285 less than we would have expected for the actual level of activity during
the period, it is labelled as a favorable variance, Tk285 F. This is an example of a spending
variance. Note that the overall net operating income variance is Tk 565 U (unfavorable). This
means that given the actual level of activity for the period, the net operating income was 565
U lower than it should have been. There are a number of reasons for this. The most prominent
is the unfavorable revenue variance of Tk 130. Next in line is the tk 285 unfavorable variance
for utilities. So we want to investigate it further.
Here we prepared a performance report that combines the activity variances with the revenue
and spending variances. The report brings together information from those two earlier tables
in a way that makes it easier to interpret what happened during the period. The format of this
report is a bit different from the format of the previous reports in that the variances appear
between the amounts being compared rather than after them. For example, the activity
variances appear between the planning budget amounts and the flexible budget amounts. In
the performance report, the activity variances appeared after the planning budget and the
flexible budget.
Flight Cafe
Page 35 of 108
spending
variance
Note two numbers in particular in the performance reportthe activity variance for net
operating income of Tk925U (unfavorable) and the overall revenue and spending variance for
net operating income of Tk 565 U (unfavorable). It is worth repeating what those two
numbers mean. The Tk925U (unfavourable) activity variance occurred because actual activity
(1,700 orders) was less than the budgeted level of activity (1,800 Orders). The Tk 565
unfavorable overall revenue and spending variance occurred because the profit was not as
large as it should have been for the actual level of activity for the period. These two different
variances mean very different things and call for different types of actions. To generate a
favorable activity variance for net operating income, managers must take actions to increase
orders. To generate a favorable overall revenue and spending variance, managers must take
actions to protect selling prices, increase operating efficiency, and reduce the prices of inputs.
The performance report provides much more useful information to managers than the simple
comparison of budgeted to actual results. Here the effects of changes in activity were jumbled
together with the effects of how well prices were controlled and operations were managed.
The performance report clearly separates these effects, allowing managers to take a much
more focused approach in evaluating operations.
Page 36 of 108
All costs are fixed
So far we tried to understand the difference between what was expected to happen
formalized by the planning budgetand what actually happened. To meet this need, we
developed a flexible budget that allowed us to isolate activity variances and revenue and
spending variances. But this approach is not always followed in practiceresulting in
misleading and difficult-to- interpret reports. The most common errors in preparing
performance reports are to implicitly assume that all costs are fixed or to implicitly assume
that all costs are variable. These erroneous assumptions lead to inaccurate standard and
incorrect variances. We have already discussed one of these errorsassuming that all costs
are fixed. This is the error that is made when static planning budget costs are compared to
actual costs without any adjustment for the actual level of activity. Such a comparison is
shown here:
Flight Cafe
Looking at that table, note that the budgeted cost of utilities of Tk 11250 is directly compared
to the actual cost of Tk. 11110, resulting in an favorable variance Tk 140. But this comparison
only makes sense if the cost of utilities is fixed. If it isnt fixed one would expect the cost to
go up because of the increase in activity over the budget. Comparing static planning budget
Page 37 of 108
costs to actual costs only makes sense if the cost is fixed. If the cost isnt fixed, it needs to be
adjusted for any change in activity that occurs during the period.
The other common error when comparing budgets to actual results is to assume that all costs
are variable. A report that makes this error is given below.
Flight Cafe
The variances in this report are computed by comparing actual results to the amounts in the
second column where all of the budget items have been adjusted by the percentage by which
activity increased. This is a perfectly valid adjustment to make if an item is strictly variable
like sales and supplies. It is not a valid adjustment if the item contains any fixed element. For
example, rent cannot be adjusted for the change in the activity level.
Page 38 of 108
Therefore, the amount shown in the second column of $31,350 is incorrect, which leads to
the erroneous favorable variance of Tk 2078. In fact, the actual rent paid was exactly equal to
the budgeted rent, so there should be no variance at all on a valid report.

Page 40 of 108
Performance measures serve a critical role in attaining goals. A standard is a benchmark or
norm for measuring performance. Standards are found everywhere. Standards are widely
used in managerial accounting where they relate to the quantity and cost of inputs used in
manufacturing goods or providing services.
Quantity and price standards are set for each major input such as raw materials and labor
time. Quantity standards specify how much of an input should be used to make a product or
provide a service. Price standards specify how much should be paid for each unit of input.
Actual quantities and actual costs of inputs are compared to these standards. If either the
quantity or the cost of inputs departs significantly from the standards, managers investigate
the discrepancy to find the cause of the problem and eliminate it. This process is called
management by exception.
There is a basic approach to identifying and solving problems is the essence of the variance
analysis cycle. The cycle begins with the preparation of standard cost performance reports in
the accounting department. These reports highlight the variances, which are the difference
between actual results and should have occurred according to standards. The significant
variances are investigated to discover their root causes. The cycle begins with the preparation
of a new standard cost performance report for the latest period. The emphases should be on
highlighting the problems, finding their root causes and taking corrective action. The goal id
to improve operations.

Manufacturing companies often have highly developed standard costing systems in which
standards for direct materials, direct labor and overhead are created for each product. A
standard cost card shows the standard quantities and costs of the inputs required to produce a
unit of a specific product.
A price variance is the difference between the actual price of an input and its standard price
multiplied by the actual input purchased.
A quantity Variance is the difference between how much of and input was actually used and
how much should have been used and is stated in dollar terms using the standard price of the
input.
First, A price variance and a quantity variance can be computed for each of the three variable
cost elements- direct materials, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead,
Page 42 of 108
Second, the price variance is computed in exactly the same way, regardless of whether one is
dealing with direct materials, direct labor or variable manufacturing overhead.
Third, the input is the actual quantity of direct materials, direct labor and variable
manufacturing overhead or used, the output is the good production of the period, expressed in
terms of the standard quantity allowed for the actual output.
Labor Rate Variance The price variance for direct labor is commonly called the
labor variance. This variance measures any deviation from standard in the average
hourly paid rate paid to direct labor workers.
Labor Efficiency Variance The labor efficiency variance attempts to measure the
productivity of direct labor.

Standard costing and the related variances is a valuable management tool. If a variance arises,
management becomes aware that manufacturing costs have differed from the standard
(planned, expected) costs.
If actual costs are greater than standard costs the variance is unfavorable. An
unfavorable variance tells management that if everything else stays constant the
company's actual profit will be less than planned.
If actual costs are less than standard costs the variance is favorable. A favorable
variance tells management that if everything else stays constant the actual profit will
likely exceed the planned profit.
Page 44 of 108
Under the standard costing system, cost centers are established and responsibility is
assigned to the concerned departments and persons and thus it helps to increase the
effective delegation of authority.
A properly developed standard costing system with full participation and involvement
creates a positive, cost effective attitude through all levels of management.
The standard system encourages reappraisals of methods, materials and techniques
that help to reduce the unfavorable variances.
The standard costing system helps to draw management's attention towards those
items which are not proceeding according to plan.
Standard costing system makes the whole organization cost-conscious as it gives the
focus to the standard cost and variance analysis.
Standard costing system provides a basis for the incentive scheme to workers and
supervisors.
Standard costing system simplifies the cost control procedures.
Standard costing acts as an effective tool for business planning, budgeting, marginal
costing ,inventory valuation etc.
Standard costing system may be tedious, expensive and time consuming to install and
keep up to date.
The standard costing system controls the operating part of an organization only as it
ignores the other items like quality, lead-time, service,customer satisfaction and so on.
The standard costing system will become less useful in modern factories where the
just in time principles are adopted.
The standard costing system may not be applicable in case of small firms as it
requires high degree of skill.
The standard costing may not be very effective in those organizations where non-
standardized products are manufactured and services are rendered.

1.23. Decentralization:
In a decentralized organization, decision making authority is spread throughout the
organization rather than being confined to a few top executives. In strongly decentralized
organizations, the lowest-level managers are empowered to make as many decisions as
possible.
1. By delegating day to day problem solving to lower level managers, top management
can concentrate on bigger issues such as overall strategy.
2. Empowering lower level managers to make decisions put the decision making
authority in the hand of those who tend to have the most detailed and up to date
1. Lower level managers may make decisions without fully understanding the big
picture.
2. If lower level managers make their own decisions, coordination may be lacking.
3. Lower level managers may have objectives that clash with the objective of the whole
organization.
4. Spreading innovative ideas may be difficult in a decentralized organization.
Page 47 of 108
Responsibility Accounting:
Decentralized organizations need responsibility accounting system that link lower level
managers decision making authority with accountability for the outcomes with those
decisions. The term responsibility centre is used for any part of an organization whose
manager has control over and is accountable for cost, profit or investment. The three primary
types of responsibility centres are cost centres, profit centres and investment centres. Only the
manager of an investment centres has control over all the three element cost, revenue and
investments in operating assets.
Segment Report:
To prepare a segmented income statement, variable expenses are deducted from sales to yield
the contribution margin for the segment. Contribution margin tells us what happens to profit
as volume changes-holding a segments capacity and fixed costs constant. The contribution
margin is especially useful in decisions involving temporary uses of capacity such as special
orders.
A traceable fixed cost of a segment is a fixed cost that is incurred because of the existence of
the segment-if the segment had never existed, the fixed cost would not have been incurred,
and if the segment were eliminated, the fixed cost would disappear.
A common fixed cost is a fixed cost that supports the operations of more than one segment,
but is not traceable in whole or in part to any one segment. Even if a segment were entirely
eliminated, there would be no change in a true common fixed cost.
Page 48 of 108
The general guideline is to treat as traceable costs only those costs that would disappear over
time if the segment itself disappeared. Any allocation of common costs to segment reduces
the value of the segment margin as a measure of long-run segment profitability and segment
performance.
Costs must be properly assigned to the segments. Unfortunately companies often make
mistakes when assigning costs to segments like-
1. Omission of costs
2. Failure to trace costs directly
3. Inappropriate allocation base
4. Arbitrarily dividing common costs among segments
Net operating income is the income before interest and taxes and is sometimes referred to as
EBIT that means earnings before interest and taxes. Operating assets include cash, accounting
receivable, inventory, plant and equipment and all other assets help for operating purposes.
And companies use the net book value (acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation) of
depreciable assets to calculate average operating assets.
Page 49 of 108
Net Operatingcome
Where, Margin = Sales
Sales
And, Turnover = Average Operating Assets
1. Increased sales
2. Reduced operating expenses
3. Reduced operating assets
Criticism of ROI:
1. Just telling managers to increase ROI may not be enough. And it is best used as a part
of a balanced scorecard.
2. Committed costs may be relevant in assessing the performance of the business
segment as an investment but they make it difficult to fairly assess the performance of
the manager.
3. A manager who is evaluated based on ROI may reject investment opportunities that
are profitable for the whole company but that would have a negative impact on the
managers performance evaluation.
Residual Income:
Residual Income = Net operating income (Average operating assets Minimum required
rate of return).
The residual income approach encourages managers to make investments that are profitable
for the entire company but that would be rejected by managers who are evaluated using the
ROI formula. Its major disadvantage is larger divisions often have more residual income than
Page 50 of 108
smaller divisions, not necessarily because they are better managed but simply they are
because they are bigger.

4.1. Cost Behavior analysis on Modern Dyeing and Screen Printing Co
Scatter Graph
Example: Modern Dyeing and Screen Printing Co. decides to use scatter graph method to
split its factory overhead (FOH) into variable and fixed components. Following is the data
which is provided for the analysis.
Page 60 of 108
Fixed Cost = y-intercept = 100000
To calculate slop we will take two points on line: (0,100000) and (600000,700000)
It is a mathematical procedure for finding the best-fitting curve to a given set of points by
minimizing the sum of the squares of the offsets ("the residuals") of the points from the
curve. The sum of the squares of the offsets is used instead of the offset absolute values
because this allows the residuals to be treated as a continuous differentiable quantity.
However, because squares of the offsets are used, outlying points can have a disproportionate
effect on the fit, a property which may or may not be desirable depending on the problem at
hand.
Least-squares linear regression is a statistical technique that may be used to estimate the total
cost at the given level of activity (units, labor/machine hours etc.) based on past cost data. It
mathematically fits a straight cost line over a scatter-chart of a number of activity and total-
cost pairs in such a way that the sum of squares of the vertical distances between the scattered
points and the cost line is minimized. The term least-squares regression implies that the ideal
fitting of the regression line is achieved by minimizing the sum of squares of the distances
between the straight line and all the points on the graph.
Assuming that the cost varies along y-axis and activity levels along x-axis, the required cost
line may be represented in the form of following equation:
y = a + bx
Page 61 of 108
In the above equation, a is the y-intercept of the line and it equals the approximate fixed cost
at any level of activity. Whereas b is the slope of the line and it equals the average variable
cost per unit of activity.

4.3. Application of CVP concepts in Modern Dyeing
In 2015, Modern dying Limited companys contribution format income statement is given
below-
Modern Dyeings CM ratio of 44.63% means that for each increase of taka in sells , total
contribution margin will increase by. 4463 taka.
Variable expense 2 . 27
2) Variable expense ratio = Selling price = 4 .1 = 55.37%
Modern Dyeings variable expense ratio of 55.37% means that for every increase in taka of
sales variable expense will be computed to .5537 taka.
0 = 1.83 Q 870000
Here, by break even analysis, at sales of 475409 units, target profit will be zero.
Page 64 of 108
Targeted profit = Unit CM Q Fixed expense
Q = 1568306
After Break Even Point, by selling 1568306 profit will reach to 2000000.
= 14350000 - 1949180
= 12400820
Modern Dyeings margin of safety 12.5% means that at the current level of sales and with the
companys current prices and cost structure, a reduction in sales of 12.5% would result in just
breaking even.
Because the degree of operating leverage for Modern Dyeing is 1.15, the companys net
operating income grows 1.15 times as fast as its sales.

The flexible budget of Modern Dyeing and Screen Printing for the Year 2010-11 is calculated
below
Page 86 of 108
Here the activity revenue variance is Tk 3750. It is due to reduction in the unit sales. It also
causes reduction in the cost also. The increased cost is telephone bill. It is so insignificant that
the managers donot need to concerned about it. Now overall activity variance is Tk 20060.
The overall spending variance is Tk 220295. Here some increase in the cost is covered by the
increase in the revenue. The packing and miscellaneous costs are quite large , so these cost
need to be investigated.

In this year the actual unit sales is higher than the planned. this results in increase in the costs.
Here all the cost has increased. But these donot need require much importance. Because the
increase in the sales is so high that these cost become offset.
Though in the revenue and spending is positive there is a large increase in the salary and
wages that is amounted tk 82895 unfavorable. It is need to be contolled.

In this year the actual unit sales is lower than the estimated. It results in total activity variance
of Tk. 89520 unfavorable. This results from a large reduction in the activity level for which
the revenue drops dramatically.
Page 89 of 108
Here the change in the activity level results in the unfavorable revenue and spending
variance. here the salary contributes much. So we can say the company cannot control its
salary and wage expenses.
