7. Comparison among three managerial accounting method (4/4)
These graphs show difference between total costs of three types of costing
system for each component. The right graph shows the observation of the ratios
of “Direct labor” and “Machine hours”.
A difference between three systems depends on the balance of direct labor and
machine hours ratio. So when the direct labors ratio is less than machine hours
ratio, Consultant’s method shows the increment of the total cost.

Consultant’s method is most accurate.
<Reasons>
Existing method does not reflect actual cost, which give a negative impact to
appropriate price setting.
Considering more demand for automation of the testing, the depreciation cost
should be properly incorporated in the cost of goods sold.
8

9. Accounting method for new machine
 Introduction of one more new machine will
increase the depreciation cost. So
if a burden is only calculated based on a
direct labor dollar, the cost of goods sold will not be
properly incorporated.
 Therefore, unless a burden with machine hours ratio
is introduced as cost standard, wrong cost of goods
sold will be set which will lead to wrong price setting
and result in a negative impact to the company’s
profit.
9

10. Total costs simulation for new machine
Considering the increase of machine hours and $500,000 annual
depreciation, total costs for each component by installing new
machine are greater than current system. However future total
costs will decline following by the increase of machine hours
since year 4 .
10

11. Labor costs saving simulation for new machine
A benefit of installing new machine is definitely the reduction of
labor costs by making testing more automated. It is the sensitive
simulation for clarifying how labor costs reduction affects to total
costs. As discussed before, new costing system tends to show
both of increase and decrease, but installing new machine can
contribute from the viewpoint of entire of labor costs reduction.
