Questions


1-1 The three major types of product b6 b6 b6 b6 b6
income statement as an expense in the
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


period in which it is incurred.
costs in a manufacturing company are
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


direct materials, direct labor, and
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


manufacturing overhead.
b6 b6




1-2
a. Direct materials are an integral part b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


of a finished product and their costs can
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


be conveniently traced to it.
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

b. Indirect materials are generally small b6 b6 b6 b6


items of material such as glue and nails.
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


They may be an integral part of a finished
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

product but their costs can be traced to
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


the product only at great cost or
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


inconvenience.
b6


c. Direct labor consists of labor costs b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


that can be easily traced to particular
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


products.
b6

Direct labor is also called ―touch labor.‖
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


d. Indirect labor consists of the labor b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


costs of janitors, supervisors, materials
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


handlers, and other factory workers that
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


cannot be conveniently traced to particular
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


products. These labor costs are incurred to
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


support production, but the workers
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


involved do not directly work on the
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


product.
b6


e. Manufacturing overhead includes all b6 b6 b6

manufacturing costs except direct materials
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


and direct labor. Consequently,
b6 b6 b6 b6


manufacturing overhead includes indirect
b6 b6 b6 b6

materials and indirect labor as well as other
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


manufacturing costs.
b6 b6




1-3 A product cost is any cost involved
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


in purchasing or manufacturing goods. In
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


the case of manufactured goods, these
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


costs consist of direct materials, direct labor,
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


and manufacturing overhead. A period cost
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


is a cost that is taken directly to the
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

, 1-4
a. Variable cost: The variable cost per
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


unit is constant, but total variable
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


cost changes in direct proportion to
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


changes in volume.
b6 b6 b6

b. Fixed cost: The total fixed cost is
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

constant within the relevant range. The
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


average fixed cost per unit varies
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

inversely with changes in volume.
b6 b6 b6 b 6 b6


c. Mixed cost: A mixed cost contains
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

both variable and fixed cost
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

elements.
b6




1-5
a. Unit fixed costs decrease as the activity
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


level increases.
b6 b6

b. Unit variable costs remain constant as
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

the activity level increases.
b6 b6 b6 b6


c. Total fixed costs remain constant as
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


the activity level increases.
b6 b6 b6 b6


d. Total variable costs increase as the
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

activity level increases.
b6 b6 b6




1-6
a. Cost behavior: Cost behavior refers to
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


the way in which costs change in
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


response to changes in a measure of
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


activity such as sales volume,
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


production volume, or orders
b6 b6 b6 b6


processed.
b6


b. Relevant range: The relevant range is
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

the range of activity within which
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6

assumptions about variable and fixed
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


cost behavior are valid.
b6 b6 b6 b6




1-7 An activity base is a measure
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


of whatever causes the incurrence of a
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


variable cost. Examples of activity bases
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


include units produced, units sold,
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


letters typed, beds in a hospital, meals
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


served in a cafe, service calls made,
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


etc.
b6




1-8 The linear assumption is reasonably
b6 b6 b6 b6


valid providing that the cost formula is
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6


used only within the relevant range.
