Target Costing on Mercedez – Benz Mercedes-Benz (MB) is one of the world ’s most successful car manufacturers since its establishment in 1886. They used target costing in the design and production of one of its products‚ the M-Class‚ which is a new sports utility vehicle model‚ in response to their first time suffering loss in 1993 because of cost inefficiency and problems with material purchasing and adapting to market changes. MB started developing a range of new products such as the C-Class

There are many systems for classifying types of motorcycles‚ describing how the motorcycles are put to use‚ or the designer’s intent‚ or some combination of the two. There are five main categories: cruiser‚ sport‚ touring‚ standard‚ and dual-purpose. Cruisers are styled after American machines from the 1930s to the early 1960s. Their engines are tuned for low-end torque‚ making them less demanding to ride because it is not necessary to shift as frequently to accelerate or maintain control. Sport

A process costing system is a costing system in which the cost of a product or service is obtained by assigning costs to masses of like or similar units. Unit costs are then calculated on an average basis. Process costing systems are used in industries that produce like or similar units which are often mass produced. In these industries‚ products are manufactured in a very similar way. The companies usually use the same amount of direct materials‚ direct manufacturing labor costs and manufacturing

Product costing assignment 1. (a) Split into fixed costs and variable costs‚ which are both allocated based on machine hours‚ but using separate rates. Also‚ make a distinction between the costs that are more directly related to the machines (e.g.‚ depreciation‚ electricity) and those that have been allocated to the machines from other cost centers. (b) Split total machine-related costs into three types: costs related to setup‚ production‚ and maintenance of the machines. For each type of

BACKFLUSH COSTING Definition of Backflush Costing : A streamlined cost accounting method that speeds up‚ simplifies‚ and reduces accounting effort in an environment that minimizes inventory balances‚ requires few allocations‚ uses standard costs‚ and has minimal variances from standard Product costing approach‚ used in a just - intime (jit) operating environment‚ in which costing is delayed until goods are finished. Standard costs are then flushed backward through the system to assign
