Chapter 8 – Flexible Budgets, Standard Costs, and Variance Analysis Study Guide 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 mana...

Chapter 03 -- Activity-Based Costing - Study Guide 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 a...

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...

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...

Chapter 04 -- Process Costing – Study Guide 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: ...

Chapter 05 -- Cost-Volume-Profit Relationships – Study Guide 1. Incremental analysis is generally the most complicated and least direct approach to decision making. TRUE 2. One assumption in CVP analysis is that the number of units produced and sold does not change. FALSE 3. Reynold Enterprises sells a single product for $25. The variable expense per unit is $15 and the fixed expense per unit is $5 at the current level of sales. The company's net operating income will increase by $10...
