Questions
1-1 The three major types of product costs in n n n n n n n 1-4
a manufacturing company are direct materials,
n n n n n n a. Variable cost: The variable cost per unit is n n n n n n n
direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
n n n n n constant, but total variable cost changes in
n n n n n n n
direct proportion to changes in volume.
n n n n n n
1-2 b. Fixed cost: The total fixed cost is constant
n n n n n n n
a. Direct materials are an integral part of a n n n n n n n within the relevant range. The averagefixed
n n n n n n n
finished product and their costs can be
n n n n n n n cost per unit varies inversely with changes in
n n n n n n n n
conveniently traced to it.
n n n n volume.

b. Indirect materials are generally small items n n n n n c. Mixed cost: A mixed cost contains both
n n n n n n
of material such as glue and nails. They may be an
n n n n n n n n n n n variable and fixed cost elements.
n n n n n
integral part of a finished product but their costs
n n n n n n n n n
can be traced to the product only at great cost or
n n n n n n n n n n n 1-5
inconvenience.
n a. Unit fixed costs decrease as the activity level
n n n n n n n
c. Direct labor consists of labor costs that n n n n n n increases.

can be easily traced to particular products.
n n n n n n n b. Unit variable costs remain constant as the

Direct labor is also called ―touch labor.‖
n n n n n n activity level increases.
n n n
d. Indirect labor consists of the labor costs of n n n n n n n c. Total fixed costs remain constant as the
n n n n n n
janitors, supervisors, materials handlers, and
n n n n n activity level increases.
n n n
other factory workers that cannot be
n n n n n n d. Total variable costs increase as the activity
n n n n n n
conveniently traced to particular products.
n n n n n level increases.
n n
These labor costs are incurred to support
n n n n n n n
production, but the workers involved do not
n n n n n n n 1-6
directly work on the product.
n n n n n a. Cost behavior: Cost behavior refers to the
n n n n n n
e. Manufacturing overhead includes all n n n way in which costs change in response to
n n n n n n n n
manufacturing costs except direct materials and
n n n n n n changes in a measure of activity such as
n n n n n n n n
direct labor. Consequently, manufacturing
n n n n sales volume, production volume, or orders
n n n n n n
overhead includes indirect materials and indirect
n n n n n n processed.

labor as well as other manufacturing costs.
n n n n n n n b. Relevant range: The relevant range is the n n n n n n
range of activity within which assumptions
n n n n n n
1-3 A product cost is any cost involved in n n n n n n n about variable and fixed cost behavior are
n n n n n n n
purchasing or manufacturing goods. In the case of
n n n n n n n n valid.
n
manufactured goods, these costs consist of direct
n n n n n n n
materials, direct labor, and manufacturing
n n n n n 1-7 An activity base is a measure of n n n n n n
overhead. A period cost is a cost that is taken
n n n n n n n n n n whatever causes the incurrence of a variable
n n n n n n n
directly to the income statement as an expense in
n n n n n n n n n cost. Examples of activity bases include units
n n n n n n n
the period in which it is incurred.
n n n n n n n produced, units sold, letters typed, beds in a
n n n n n n n n
hospital, meals served in a cafe, service calls
n n n n n n n n
made, etc.

1-8 The linear assumption is reasonably valid

, providing that the cost formula is used only within
n n n n n n n n n
the relevant range.
