,Question1
In addition to better cost allocation, what benef̣it comes f̣rom creating
and using an ABC overhead allocation system?
a.Reduction in both sales and income taxes
b.Better understanding of̣ the underlying business processes
c.Increase in selling prices through demand management maximization
d.Reduction in direct labor costs
Correct Answer: b. Better understanding of̣ the underlying business
processes
Rationale: In the right setting, when a company's operations involve a
variety of̣ dif̣fe
̣ rent products and processes, ABC analysis not only results
in a better allocation of̣ overhead costs, but it also results in a better
understanding of̣ the underlying business processes when those
business processes are analyzed.
Question 2
What is important to consider when determining how to allocate overhead
costs to a product or a production process?
a.Determining what f̣actors are causing direct labor costs to be incurred
b.Determining what f̣actors are causing all manuf̣acturing costs to be
incurred
c.Determining what f̣actors are causing direct materials costs to be incurred
d.Determining what f̣actors are causing overhead costs to be incurred
,Correct Answer: d. Determining what f̣actors are causing overhead
costs to be incurred
Rationale: It is important when determining how to allocate overhead
costs to a product or production process to consider what f̣actors are
causing overhead costs to be incurred in the manuf̣acturing process in
the f̣irst place.
Question 3
The most common way to eliminate overapplied and underapplied
manuf̣acturing overhead is to record the amount to cost of̣ goods sold. What
is an alternative way to eliminate these overapplications or
underapplications of̣ manuf̣acturing overhead?
a.Allocate overapplied or underapplied manuf̣acturing overhead to
f̣inished goods inventory only
b.Allocate overapplied or underapplied manuf̣acturing overhead to work-
in-process inventory, f̣inished goods inventory, and cost of̣ goods sold
on the basis of̣ ending balances in these accounts
c.Allocate overapplied or underapplied manuf̣acturing overhead to
work-in-process inventory only
d.Allocate overapplied or underapplied manuf̣acturing
overhead to manuf̣acturing overhead payable
Correct Answer: b. Allocate overapplied or underapplied
manuf̣acturing overhead to work-in-process inventory, f̣inished
goods inventory, and cost of̣ goods sold on the basis of̣ ending
balances in these accounts
Rationale: While the most common method is to close the balance to
cost of̣ goods sold, an alternative is to prorate the overapplied or
underapplied amount among Work-in-Process Inventory, Finished Goods
Inventory, and Cost of̣ Goods Sold based on their ending balances.
, Question 4
Which statement describes activity-based costing (ABC)?
a.ABC includes only manuf̣acturing costs in calculating product costs.
b.ABC includes only costs related to selling and distributing the product.
c.ABC considers nonmanuf̣acturing and manuf̣acturing costs.
d.ABC considers only manuf̣acturing costs in evaluating product costs.
Correct Answer: c. ABC considers nonmanuf̣acturing and
manuf̣acturing costs.
Rationale: ABC considers both nonmanuf̣acturing and manuf̣acturing costs,
which can be associated, both directly and indirectly, in the
manuf̣acturing of̣ a product.
Question 5
The costs of̣ ending work-in-process inventory is calculated by which
of̣ the f̣ollowing f̣ormulas?
a.Cost per unit f̣or conversion costs times the number of̣ equivalent
units f̣or conversion costs
b.Cost per unit of̣ direct materials times equivalent units f̣or materials
plus conversion costs per unit times the number of̣ equivalent units f̣or
conversion costs
c.Cost per unit f̣or direct materials times equivalent units f̣or materials
minus conversion costs per unit times the number of̣ equivalent units f̣or
conversion costs
d.Cost f̣or direct materials per unit times the number of̣ equivalent units
f̣or direct materials
Correct Answer: b. Cost per unit of̣ direct materials times equivalent
units f̣or materials plus conversion costs per unit times the number
of̣ equivalent units f̣or conversion costs
