True or False: Before implementing ABC, a company does not need to weigh the benefits against the cost

False

Estimated MOH= 500.000 Estimated DL= 250.000 Actual MOH= 720.000 Actual DL= 300.000 What is the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor dollar

Using the activity proportion method, determine how much cost should be allocated to each product

773160 to Model XLT and 44840 to Model TXT

False: This in itself is not a good reason to implement ABC. The real benefit is the information it provides managers to pursue cost management

True or False: The support of upper management is required for successful ABC implementation

True

True or False: When computing unit costs, the direct materials and direct labor costs are the same, regardless of whether ABC or a volume-based costing system is used

True
