Assume you are a managerial accountant in a small and medium-sized perfume production company in Doha, which was established five years ago. In the current economic situation, the company is facing some financial challenges. The company's CEO held a meeting with you to discuss ways out of that crisis so that the company could survive and even compete under the current circumstances.

Based on the foregoing, each student is required to submit a coordinated and detailed report to address the following points, demonstrating their presentation and communication skills:

1.Discuss the various activities that the managerial accountant may be assigned to in the company in order to help the CEO make rational decisions under the current circumstances?

2.One of the company's perfumers has created a new fragrance and the company is studying the production and marketing of this innovation on a large scale. The company will rent a factory for 10,000 riyals per month for production purposes. This manufacturer has already taken an advanced course in perfume composition to help him create fragrances. The course cost was 15,000 riyals. The company will pay a bill for renting and insuring the production equipment at a monthly cost of 8,000 riyals. The company has estimated the following costs: direct materials per unit will be 25 riyals and direct labor will be 20 riyals per unit. Time to be spent in promoting the perfume will cost 12,000 riyals per month. In addition, 20,000 riyals of the salary of the existing sales manager will be allocated to the fragrance.

You are required to classify the costs related to producing this fragrance by completing the table below by placing "X" in a box that matches a cost item to the appropriate cost classifications. A cost item may be classified under more than one classification and in that case, you may place more than one "X" for those cost items. Similar, cost classifications may include more than one cost item, in which case those cost classifications may have more than one "X". For example, cost may be a sunk cost and at the same time amanufacturing overhead cost, and so there will be an "X" placed under each of these classification against the cost.
