Document Summary
The amount of cash or cash equivalent sacrificed for goods and or services that are expected to bring a current or future benefit to the organization. Accumulating costs: the way that costs are measured and recorded. Assigning costs: the way that a cost is linked to some cost object, tells us why the money was spent. Cost object: an item such as a product, service, customer, department, project, geographic region, plant, and so on for which costs are measured and assigned. Opportunity cost: a benefit given up or sacrificed when one alternative is chosen over another. Costs are classified according to the decision making needs of management. Cost objects: direct costs: are those costs that can be easily and accurately traced to a cost object. The relationship between the cost and the object can be physically observed and is easy to track: indirect costs: cannot be easily, accurately, or economically traced to a cost object, cannot be physically observed.

| 17 | Corporate taxes are due in four estimated quarterly payments on April 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. | ||||||||
| However, for the purposes of this ABC illustration, we will assume that estimates are not paid, and that the tax is paid in full | |||||||||
| on the return's March 15, 2015 due date. | |||||||||
| ABC's income tax rate is 40%. The entire year's income tax expense was estimated at the beginning of 2014 to be $69,600, | |||||||||
| so January through November income tax expense recognized amounts to $63,800 (11/12 months). | |||||||||
| Since we are assuming estimates are not made during the year, the balance in Income taxes payable represents | |||||||||
| tax accrued for January through November. Assume no deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. | |||||||||
| Based on the income before income taxes figure from the income statement, record December's income tax expense | |||||||||
| so that the entire year's total tax expense is correct. | |||||||||
