1. The use of a predetermined overhead rate in a job-order cost system makes it possible to compute the total cost of a job before production is begun. FALSE 2. If direct labor-hours is used as the allocation base in a job-order costing system, but overhead costs are not caused by direct-labor hours, then jobs with high direct labor requirements will tend to be undercosted relative to jobs with low direct labor requirements. FALSE 3. The formula for computing the predetermined overhead r...

99. Karma Corporation has total assets of $190,000 and total liabilities of $90,000. The corporation's debt-to-equity ratio is closest to: A. 0.4 7 B. 0.9 0 C. 0.5 3 D. 0.3 2 Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Stockholders' equity = $90,000 ÷ $100,000* = 0.90 *Stockholders' equity = Total assets - Total liabilities = $190,000 - $90,000 = $100,000 AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Measurement Blooms: Apply Difficulty: 1 Easy Learning Objective: ...

1. Comparing a static planning budget to actual costs is a good way to assess whether variable costs are under control. FALSE 2. Directly comparing a static planning budget to actual costs helps to distinguish between differences in costs that are due to changes in activity and differences that are due to how well costs were controlled. FALSE 3. Fixed costs should be ignored when evaluating how well a manager has controlled costs. FALSE 4. Fixed costs should be included in a flexible b...

hapter 07 -- Master Budgeting – Study Guide 1. The cash budget is usually prepared after the budgeted income statement. FALSE 2. The manufacturing overhead budget is typically prepared before the production budget. FALSE 3. Self-imposed budgets prepared by lower-level managers should be scrutinized by higher levels of management. TRUE 4. The basic idea underlying responsibility accounting is that each manager should be held responsible for the overall profit of the company to ensure t...

1. When materials are purchased in a process costing system, a materials account is debited with the cost of the materials. TRUE 2. Costs are accumulated by department in a process costing system. TRUE 3. The following journal entry would be made in a processing costing system when units that have been completed with respect to the work done in Processing Department Z are transferred from Processing Department Z to Processing Department Y: Work in Process, Department Z XX X Work in ...

1. Batch-level activities are performed each time a batch of goods is processed. The cost of a batch-level activity is proportional to the number of units in the batch. FALSE 2. Activity-based costing involves a two-stage allocation process in which overhead costs are first assigned to departments and then allocated to products using activity measures. FALSE 3. In the second-stage allocation in activity-based costing, overhead costs are allocated from activity cost pools to products. TRU...

Chapter 06 -- Variable Costing and Segment Reporting: Tools for Management – Study Guide 1. Under variable costing, variable production costs are not treated as product costs. FALSE 2. Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead cost is not treated as a product cost. TRUE 3. Under variable costing, product costs consist of direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead. TRUE 4. The costs assigned to units in inventory are typically lower under variable c...

1. Land held for possible plant expansion would not be included as an operating asset when computing return on investment (ROI). TRUE 2. When used in return on investment (ROI) calculations, operating assets do not include investments in land held for future use and investments in other companies. TRUE 3. A disadvantage of using ROI to evaluate performance is that it encourages the manager to reduce the investment in operating assets as well as increase net operating income. FALSE 4. Op...
