1. Outlier - Correct Answer: A data point that is distinctly separate or is
very different from the rest of the data points
2. Regression Method - Correct Answer: a more complex method used to
estimate important cost for decision making
3. What's included in Product Cost? - Correct Answer: Manufacturing
Costs that include Direct Materials, Direct labor, and Variable/Fixed
Overhead. Used to collect COGS and the value of unsold units in ending
inventory
4. Variable Costing - Correct Answer: A costing method that is the sum of
only variable manufacturing costs—direct materials, direct labor, and
variable manufacturing overhead—in unit product costs.
5. Absorption Costing - Correct Answer: A costing method that is the sum
of all manufacturing costs—direct materials, direct labor, and both variable
and fixed manufacturing overhead—in unit product costs. (always higher
than variable)
,6. Characteristics of Absorption Costing - Correct Answer: 1. All product
costs are attached to units
2. Acceptable for GAAP
3. Useful information for outsiders (external reporting)
7. Characteristics of Variable Costing - Correct Answer: 1. Only variable
product costs attaches to units
2. Not acceptable for GAAP
3. Useful for management decision making (internal reporting)
8. Income Statement for Absorption Costing - Correct Answer: Sales -
COGS = Gross Margin - Variable -Fixed = Operating Income
9. Amiens Company produced 20,000 units during its first year of operations
and sold 19,000 at $20 per unit. The company chose practical activity—at
20,000 units—to compute its predetermined overhead rate. Manufacturing
costs are as follows:
Direct materials$ 80,000
Direct labor $100,000
Variable overhead $15,000
Fixed overhead $54,000
What is total per unit cost under the absorption costing?
a.$10.75
, b. $9.75
c. $12.45
d.$8.45 - Correct Answer: c. $12.45
Absorption Costing takes into account fixed overhead.
Total per unit cost = Direct Materials per unit + Direct Labor per unit +
Variable Overhead per unit + Fixed Overhead per unit or
Total cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Units
Total Cost = $80,000 + $100,000 + $15,000 + $54,000 = $249,000
Total cost per unit = $249,000/20,000 units = $12.45/unit
Lane Company produced 50,000 units during its first year of operations and
sold 45,000 at $15 per unit. The company chose practical activity—at
50,000 units—to compute its predetermined overhead rate. Manufacturing
costs are as follows:
Direct materials $120,000
Direct labor $90,000
Variable overhead $65,000
Fixed overhead $50,000
10.What is total per unit cost under the variable costing vs absorption costing?
a. $5.50 and $6.50
, b. $6.50 and $7.50
c. $5.00 and $3.00
d. $2.40 and $3.00 - Correct Answer: a. $5.50 and $6.50
11.Variable costing does not include fixed overhead unit cost and Absorption
costing does.
Absorption:
Total per unit cost = Direct Materials per unit + Direct Labor per unit +
Variable Overhead per unit + Fixed Overhead per unit
Variable per unit cost = Direct Materials per unit + Direct Labor per unit +
Variable Overhead per unit
Total cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Units
Absorption Costing:
Total Cost = $120,000 + $90,000 + $65,000 = $275,000
Total per unit cost = $275,000/50,000 units = $5.50/unit
Variable Costing:
Total Cost = $120,000 + $90,000 + $65,000 + $50,000 = $325,000
Total per unit cost = $325,000/50,000 units = $6.50/unit
12.Income Statement for Variable Costing - Correct Answer: Sales - Variable
COGS - (other Variable activities) = Contribution Margin - (Fixed Activities) =
Operating Income

Absorption:
Total per unit cost = Direct Materials per unit + Direct Labor per unit +
Variable Overhead per unit + Fixed Overhead per unit

Variable Overhead per unit
Total cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Units

Total Cost = $120,000 + $90,000 + $65,000 = $275,000
Total per unit cost = $275,000/50,000 units = $5.50/unit
Variable Costing:
Total Cost = $120,000 + $90,000 + $65,000 + $50,000 = $325,000
Total per unit cost = $325,000/50,000 units = $6.50/unit
