Document Summary

We discussed how costs flow through organizations for financial accounting purposes. First, we observed that financial accounting systems classify costs according to business function. Costs related to getting a product or service ready for sale are product costs. Product (cid:272)osts appear (cid:862)a(cid:271)o(cid:448)e the li(cid:374)e(cid:863) i(cid:374) (cid:272)o(cid:373)puti(cid:374)g gross (cid:373)argi(cid:374) (cid:894)i. e. , su(cid:271)tra(cid:272)t produ(cid:272)t (cid:272)osts fro(cid:373) re(cid:448)e(cid:374)ues (cid:449)he(cid:374) (cid:272)o(cid:373)puti(cid:374)g gross (cid:373)argi(cid:374)s(cid:895). Period (cid:272)osts appear (cid:862)(cid:271)elo(cid:449) the li(cid:374)e(cid:863) after (cid:272)o(cid:373)puti(cid:374)g the gross margin. We then discussed how costs flow through three different types of organizations. First, service organizations offer products that are neither tangible nor storable. Thus, they do not maintain inventories and, therefore, all product-related costs are expensed immediately. Second, merchandising organizations sell substantially the same product they purchase from their supplier. Most merchandising organizations maintain an inventory of goods that they buy and sell. The presence of inventory means that costs on purchases often do not equal the expense related to cost of goods sold during the period.
