Chapter 1
An Introduction to Managerial
Accounting


Solutions to Questions



1-1 Managerial accounting is concerned with providing information primarily to
managers for their use internally in the organization for the purposes of
strategy, planning, implementation and control. Financial accounting is
concerned with providing information primarily to investors, creditors, and
others outside of the organization.
1-2 Essentially, the manager carries out three major activities in an
organization: planning, implementation, and control. All three activities
involve decision-making and use managerial accounting information. This
is depicted in Exhibit 1-1.
1-3 The Planning, Implementation and Control Cycle involves the following
steps: (1) formulating plans which often includes preparing budgets, (2)
overseeing day-to-day activities which includes organizing, directing and
motivating people, resource allocation and decision making, and (3)
controlling which includes providing feedback via performance reports.

1-4 In contrast to financial accounting, managerial accounting: (1) focuses on
the needs of the manager; (2) places more emphasis on the future; (3)
emphasizes relevance and timeliness, rather than verifiability and
precision; (4) emphasizes the segments of an organization; (5) is not
governed by IFRS or ASPE; and (6) is not mandatory.
1-5 The lean business model focuses on continuous improvement by
eliminating waste in the organization. Companies that adopt the lean
business model usually implement one or more of the following
management practices.

 Just-in-time (JIT): A production and inventory control system in
which materials are purchased

, needed to meet actual customer demand.
 Total quality management (TQM): An approach to continuous
improvement that focuses on serving customers and uses teams of
front-line workers to systematically identify and solve problems.
 Process re-engineering: An approach to improvement that
involves completely redesigning business processes in order to
eliminate unnecessary steps, reduce errors, and reduce costs.
 Theory of constraints (TOC): A management approach that
emphasizes the importance of managing constraints.

1-6 Pros
 Funds tied up in maintaining inventory can be used elsewhere
 Areas previously used to store inventories are made available for
other more productive uses
 The time required to fill an order is reduced, resulting in quicker
response to customers and consequentially greater potential sales
 Defect rates are reduced resulting in less waste and greater
customer satisfaction
 More effective operations

Cons
 Increased number of purchase orders to buy raw materials and/or
other components used in manufacturing products
 There is little room for errors and defects in products because this
could throw the production facility off schedule
 There is a high reliance and dependence on suppliers to meet
delivery deadlines as well as supply products that have no defects
and require minimal inspection

1-7 Agree. Ethical behaviour is the foundation of a successful market
economy. If we cannot trust people to act ethically in their business
dealings with us, we will be inclined to invest less, scrutinize more and
waste money and time (scarce resources) trying to protect ourselves.
Ethical standards and Codes of Conduct aid the smooth running of the
economy. In addition, the lack of regulatory requirements (IFRS, ASPE)
regarding managerial accounting makes ethical behaviour even more
critical.

f) Documenting the savings X

resulting from the adoption
of a just-in-time inventory
system



Problem 1-1 (LO3 CC5)

a) This has ethical implications because the code of ethics mandates that all
professional accountants will abide by the fundamental principles. There
are two possible issues here – confidentiality and integrity. By sending
the reports to the analyst Cleo will be violating the principle of
confidentiality, she cannot ―…disclose any such information to third parties
without proper and specific authority, unless there is a legal or
professional right or duty to disclose, nor use the information for the
personal advantage of the professional accountant or third parties.‖ One
might argue that there is also an issue of personal integrity here; as a
professional accountant she is required ―to be straightforward and honest
in all professional and business relationships.‖
