Managers often use a(n) utilitarian approach when making organizational decisions - using financial performance such as profit as the best definition of what constitutes an ethical choice for the company.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When decisions are taken by taking benefits and the costs that are associated with stakeholders into consideration is an utilitarian approach. The main thing that is considered in this approach for taking any decision is consideration of the outcome and net result of the action that is to be taken.
It aims in taking an action that has greater good for many number of people and less harm for lesser number of people. It considers both the people who gets benefits and those people who suffer from the decision. It mainly focus on choosing an alternate that is more ethical and produces a good balancing of benefits than harm.
Answer:
1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized.
2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized.
3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This should be expensed.
5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized.
4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed.
Explanation:
1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized. This is because repainting is a repair that will restore the physical structure of the office building and significantly improve it. Since it is a capital improvement cost, it should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets.
2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets since it is a capital expenditure that significantly added to the structure of the office building.
3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This falls under repair and should be expensed.
4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed. Cost of locks and keys are ordinary expenses that do not improve the physical structure of the production building.
5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized. It is a tangible improvement to the fleets of cars and this kind of costs fall under capital expenditures.

Answer and Explanation:
Respected Sir,
Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions
As per your requirement please find the explanation below:
Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.
Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.
Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.
The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.
