1A waiter takes an order at a table, and then enters it online via one of the six terminals located in the restaurant dining room. The order is routed to a printer in the appropriate preparation area, the cold item printer if it is a salad, the hot item printer if it is a hot sandwich or the bar printer if it is a drink. A customer’s meal check-listing, bills the items ordered and the respective prices are automatically generated. This ordering system eliminates the old three-carbon-copy guest check system as well as any problems caused by a waiter’s handwriting. When the kitchen runs out of a food item, the cooks send out an ‘out of stock’ message, which will be displayed on the dining room terminals when waiters try to order that item. This gives the waiters faster feedback, enabling them to give better service to the customers. Other system features aid management in the planning and control of their restaurant business. The system provides up-to-the-minute information on the food items ordered and breaks out percentages showing sales of each item versus total sales. This helps management plan menus according to customers’ tastes. The system also compares the weekly sales totals versus food costs, allowing planning for tighter cost controls. In addition, whenever an order is invalidated, the reasons for the invalidation are keyed in. This may help later in management decisions, especially if the invalidations are consistently related to the food or the service. Acceptance of the system by the users is exceptionally high since the waiters and waitresses were involved in the selection and design process. All potential users were asked to give their impressions and ideas about the various systems available before one was chosen. a. What is the type of information system the above scenario is referring to? b. How does this system helps later in management decisions related to food or service based on the reasons for the invalidation which are stored c. How this system does helps in finding out the performance of the hotel form year to year? A a. Identifying the correct type of information b. Explaining the detail of what the system does in out of stock which helps in planning and control c. Explaining the concept of forecasting

Q6. Write the differences between absorption costing and management costing.

 

Answer : What is Absorption Costing?

 

A management cost accounting method of expensing all the costs related with the production of a particular product is known as absorption costing. Absorption costing utilizes the total overhead costs and total direct costs related with producing a product as the cost base. The GAAP need absorption costing for external reporting. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require the absorption costing for the external reporting.

 

ABSORPTION COSTING VS MARGINAL COSTING

1) Both fixed and variable cost are considered for product costing and inventory valuation. 1) Only variable cost is considered for product costing and inventory valuation.
2) The fixed cost is charged to cost of production.

Each product is to bear a reasonable share of fixed cost and profitability of product is thus influenced by subjective apportionment of fixed cost.

2) Treatment of fixed overhead is different.
Fixed cost is considered as a period cost. And profitability of different product is judged by P/V ratio.
3) Presentation of cost is on conventional pattern. Net profit of each product is determined after deducting fixed overheads. 3) Production of data is oriented to highlight the total contribution and contribution from each product.
4) The difference in the magnitude of opening stock and closing stock affects the unit cost of production due to the impact of related fixed overheads. 4) The difference in the magnitude of opening stock and closing stock does not affect the unit cost of production.

 

 

Limitations of Absorption Costing

1) In practice, this method employs highly arbitrary method of apportionment of overhead. This reduces the practical utility of cost data for control purposes.
2) Under absorption costing, fixed cost relating to closing stock is carried forward to the next year. Similarly, fixed cost relating to opening stock is charged to current year instead of previous year. Thus under this method, all the fixed cost is not charged against the revenue of the year in which they are incurred. It is an unsound practice.
3) Under the absorption costing collection of cost data is not very useful fir decision making., because the process of assigning product cost a reasonable share of fixed overhead obscures cost-volume-profit relationship.
4) Under the absorption costing, behavior pattern of cost is not highlighted and thus many s\situations which can be utilized under the marginal costing are likely to go unnoticed under the absorption costing.

Following is the balance sheet for the period ending 31st March 2006 and 2007. If the current year’s net loss is Rs.38,000, calculate the cash flow from operating activities. 31st MARCH 2006 2007 Short-term loan to employees 15,000 18,000 Creditors 30,000 8,000 Provision for doubtful debts 1,200 – Bills payable 18,000 20,000 Stock in trade 15,000 13,000 Bills receivable 10,000 22,000 Prepaid expenses 800 600 Outstanding expenses 300 500 Hint: Net cash lost in operating activities (69800)

September 06, 2013 By: Meliza Category: 1st SEM

Answer : In financial accounting, operating cash flow (OCF), cash flow provided by operations or cash flow from operating activities (CFO), refers to the amount of cash a company generates from the revenues it brings in, excluding costs associated with long-term investment on capital items or investment in securities. The International Financial Reporting Standards defines operating cash flow as cash generated from operations less taxation and interest paid, investment income received and less dividends paid gives rise to operating cash flows. To calculate cash generated from operations, one must calculate cash generated from customers and cash paid to suppliers. The difference between the two reflects cash generated from operations.

CFO = -38,000 – 8,000 -1,200 – 22,000 – 600 = -69,800

So, we get net cash lost in operating activities of -69,800.

 

 

Draw the Balance Sheet for the following information provided by Sarawath Ltd.. a. Current Ratio : 2.50 b. Liquidity Ratio : 1.50 c. Net Working Capital : Rs.300000 d. Stock Turnover Ratio : 6 times e. Ratio of Gross Profit to Sales : 20% f. Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio : 2 times g. Average Debt collection period : 2 months h. Fixed Assets to Net Worth : 0.80 i. Reserve and Surplus to Capital : 0.50

September 06, 2013 By: Meliza Category: 1st SEM

Answer :

 

Here we can see the table with some formulas.

 

Current Ratio                           current assets/current liabilities                            2,5

(current assets – inventory)/current

Liquidity Ratio                         Liabilities                                                              1,5

Net Working Capital                 current assets – current liabilities                             300000

Stock Turnover Ratio                net sales/inventory                                               6

Ratio of Gross Profit to Sales   (revenue – cost of goods)/net sales                         0,2

Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio

Average                                      net sales/fixed assets                                              2

Debt collection period                (Average Debtors / Credit Sales) x 365                2

Fixed Assets to Net Worth          fixed assets/(total assets – total

Liabilities)                                                0,8

Reserve and Surplus to             Capital Reserve and Surplus to Capital               0,5

 

 

B/S                              Balance                                                           1100000

 

Using these formulas we can calculate:

 

Current assets           500000

Inventory                  200000

Current liabilities      200000

Net sales                   1200000

Gross profit              240000

Fixed assets              600000

 

So, we can build the balance sheet.

                                                           Balance

 

Fixed assets                                  600000

Current assets and inventory        500000

Total Assets:                              1100000

Current liabilities                         200000

Capital                                          480000

Long-term liabilities and other     420000

Total Liabilities:                          1100000

 

An accountant finds that the trial balance of his client did not tally and it showed an excess credit of Rs. 69.74. He transferred it to a suspense account and later discovered the following errors. a) b) A purchase of Rs. 145.50 has been posted as Rs. 154.50 to the purchases account. c) An expenditure of Rs. 158 on repairs has been debited to the buildings account. d) Rs. 80 was allowed by B as discount which has not been entered in the books. e) A sum of Rs. 125.05 realised on the sale of old furniture has been posted to the sales account. Give journal entries to rectify the errors and show the suspense account as it would appear after adjustments Hint: Total of suspense a/c = 78.74

September 06, 2013 By: Meliza Category: 1st SEM

When an error is discovered in the accounting records, it should be corrected immediately to prevent wrong data which will result to unreliable financial statements. This is done through a correcting entry.
A correcting entry is a journal entry whose purpose is to rectify the effect of an incorrect entry previously made.
The correcting entries will be:
a) Accounts Payable               10
Cash                        10
b) Accounts Payable                9
c) Buildings                            158
Repairs                   158
d) Accounts Payable     80
Purchases                           80
e) Sales                               125.05
f)  Cash                       125.05
Total of suspense a/c = 78.74
