Fundamentals of Cost Accounting, 6e (Lanen) Chapter 1 Cost Accounting: Information for Decision Making 1) The value chain comprises activities from research and development through the production process but does not include activities related to the distribution of products or services. 2) Administrative functions are not included as part of the value chain because they are implicitly included in every business function. 3) Under the value chain concept, value-added activities are those that firms perform and that customers perceive as adding utility to the goods they purchase. 4) The value chain is comprised of the activities that take place only during the production process. 5) If a poor facility layout exists and work-in-process inventory must be moved during the production process, the company is likely to be performing value-added activities. 6) Cost information itself is a product with its own customers. 7) Financial accounting information is sufficient for making operational decisions. 8) Cost accounting information is commonly used in developing financial accounting information. 9) Financial accounting information is designed for decision-makers who are directly involved in the daily management of the firm. 10) It is more important for financial accounting information to be comparable between firms than to be useful for managerial decision-making. 11) Cost accounting information developed for managers to use in making decisions must comply with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). 12) A cost driver is a factor that causes costs. 13) A cost can be considered a differential cost for one particular course of action but not for another course of action. 14) A responsibility center can be a department, division, or segment, but not a subsidiary of the parent company. 15) It is important that the manager assigned to lead a responsibility center be held accountable for its operations. 2 Copyright © 2020 McGraw-Hill Education.
