The following costs relate to management accounting information for Kite Co for April 20X8:
Cost $
Employee time spent filling in purchase requisitions 600
Use of barcodes and scanners to record inventory 200
Storage of sales information no longer needed 400
Time taken by staff to input data into production
system
900
What were the total direct data capture costs for Kite Co for April 20X8?
Now the answer says 200
But why not employee filling of 600 and last one 900 not taken into account Sir ?
Because they are not direct data capture.
Direct data capture is where data is input automatically into the computer system rather that someone having to type it in.
