Which of the following is the primary purpose of managerial accounting? A) To provide information to external investors B) To provide information for internal decision-making and planning C) To prepare tax returns for government agencies D) To ensure compliance with GAAP standards Correct Answer: B Rationale: Managerial accounting is designed to provide financial and non-financial information to managers within an organization for planning, controlling, and decision-making purposes.

A factory supervisor's salary would be classified as which type of cost with respect to a unit of product? A) Direct material B) Direct labor C) Manufacturing overhead D) Period cost Correct Answer: C Rationale: A factory supervisor supports production but does not directly work on the product units.

Which of the following statements about direct and indirect costs is true? A) A cost can be direct or indirect; the classification can change if the cost object changes B) Direct costs cannot be traced to a cost object C) Indirect costs are always fixed costs D) Direct costs are always variable costs Correct Answer: A Rationale: The classification of a cost as direct or indirect depends entirely on the cost object being considered. A cost that is direct for one cost object (e.g., the salary of a department manager for that department) may be indirect for another (e.g., that same salary when allocating costs to individual products within the department) .
