Answer to Question No. 1:
Cost Classification used in CTC’s Income Statement:
Behavior wise costs can be classified broadly into two parts, variable costs and fixed
costs, and nature wise it can be classified into direct and indirect costs. Direct materials,
direct labor and any other direct chargeable expenses are included in the prime cost of the
product. All the indirect materials, indirect labor and any other indirect expenses are included
in the Overhead. Overhead costs again can be classified into Manufacturing Overhead,
Administrative Overhead and Selling & Distribution Overhead.
Colonial Tap Company is a tap and plumbing materials manufacturer. They use cost
plus 50% markup for pricing their products. From the income statement of CTC, it can be
observed that, they do not classify their costs into direct and indirect or variable and fixed
costs. They take all the expenses together to calculate total expenses of the company, then
profit or loss is calculated by comparing the total sales revenue and total expenses. Their
policy is to add 50% markup on direct materials and direct labor costs.
Classification of costs in the income statement helps in better cost management,
which is lacking in the income statement of Colonial Tap Company.
