LET’S DEFINE ALL OF THE COSTS MENTIONED IN THE CASE.
WHO CAN GIVE ME ONE COST MENTIONED IN THE CASE?
Aussie Pies’ Costs
Ingredients Utilities for cooking Utilities for lighting the store Pie boxes Rent on store Rent on cooking equipment Rent on fixtures Chefs salaries Sales assistant salary
Let’s start by looking at these costs from an external reporting perspective.

What are the profit implications of treating a cost such as utilities for
cooking as a period cost rather than a product cost?

Does a restaurant have work in process or finished goods

A Matching Perspective
Why not include the rental cost of cooking equipment in COGS?
A Matching Perspective
Why not include the rental cost of cooking equipment in COGS? A manufacturer treats manufacturing
equipment depreciation as a product cost because some units may be produced in the current period but not sold until a later period.

A software developer incurs costs to develop products that will be sold in a later period. So in these two instances there is a need to
match costs with revenues.

A software developer incurs costs to develop products that will be sold in a later period. So in these two instances there is a need to match
costs with revenues. There is no such matching concern with a
restaurant. Furthermore, cost of goods sold is more useful if not confounded with various non-food costs.
From an external reporting perspective, what would be Aussie Pie’s unit product cost?

Let’s look at the topic of assigning costs to cost objects.
Direct vs. Indirect Costs
If Aussie Pies eventually opened a second store and hired two additional chefs for that store, then what would be the direct and indirect costs with respect to a specific store?

Let’s look at the topic of cost classifications for decision making.
Relevant vs. Irrelevant Costs Assume the Aussie Pies’ owners
claimed that the cost per Aussie Pie (at a volume of 30,000 units sold) is $2.25 per pie.
Relevant vs. Irrelevant Costs Assume the Aussie Pies’ owners
claimed that the cost per Aussie Pie (at a volume of 30,000 units sold) is $2.25 per pie.
Assume that Aussie Pies turned down a corporate client that wanted to buy 1,000 pies at $2.00 each because the price was below $2.25 per pie.
Comment on the wisdom of this decision.

Comment on the wisdom of this decision. Does the concept of “opportunity cost” affect
your answer?
Relevant vs. Irrelevant Costs If Aussie Pies is considering staying
open 2 additional hours everyday, what costs on the next slide would be potentially relevant to this decision?

Let’s take a closer look at the value of understanding cost behavior.
HOW MANY AUSSIE PIES HAVE TO BE SOLD TO BREAKEVEN?
Equation Method
(P)(Q) ̶ (V)(Q) ̶ F = Profit
Equation Method
($3.25)(Q ) ̶ ($1.25)(Q) ̶ $30,000 = 0
2Q = $30,000
Q = 15,000 pies
What is the breakeven point in sales dollars?
Equation Method
($3.25)(Q ) ̶ ($1.25)(Q) ̶ $30,000 = 0
2Q = $30,000
Q = 15,000 pies
15,000 pies × $3.25 = $48,750
HOW MANY AUSSIE PIES HAVE TO BE SOLD TO EARN A 20% RETURN ON SALES?
Equation Method
($3.25)(Q) ̶ ($1.25)(Q) ̶ $30,000 = ($0.65)Q
1.35Q = $30,000
Q = 22,223 pies
WHAT PROFIT WOULD AUSSIE PIES EARN IF IT RAISED INGREDIENTS COST BY $0.50, INVESTED $5,000 IN A MONTHLY ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AND WAS ABLE TO SELL 25,000 UNITS AT $3.25 PER UNIT?
Equation Method
($3.25)(25,000) ̶ ($1.75)(25,000) ̶ $35,000 = Profit
Profit = $2,500
AUSSIE BELIEVES IT CAN SELL 20,000 PIES AT A PRICE OF $3.25. HOWEVER, BASED ON MARKET RESEARCH IT BELIEVES FOR EACH $0.25 SHIFT IN PRICE, DEMAND WILL SHIFT BY 1,500 PIES. WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL PRICE?

Assume that Aussie Pies decides to pay its sales assistant a
commission of $0.06 per pie sold instead of a salary and each chef is paid a salary of $1,000 plus a
commission of $0.04 per pie sold. If Aussie Pies sells 22,000 units, how would it prepare an income statement for external reporting
purposes?
