When unit sales are constant, but the number of units produced fluctuates and everything else remains the same, net operating income under variable costing will:
remain constant.
A $2.00 increase in a product's variable expense per unit accompanied by a $2.00 increase in its selling price per unit will:
have no effect on the break-even volume.
A reason why absorption costing income statements are sometimes difficult to interpret is that:
they shift portions of fixed manufacturing overhead from period to period according to changing levels of inventories.
An activity-based costing system that is designed for internal decision-making will not conform to generally accepted accounting principles because:
under activity-based costing some manufacturing costs (i.e., the costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs) will not be assigned to products.
The costing method that treats all fixed costs as period costs is:
variable costing.
Net operating income computed using absorption costing will always be less than net operating income computed using variable costing.
False
The break-even point can be determined by simply adding together all of the expenses from the income statement.
False
The salary paid to a store manager is not a traceable fixed expense of the store.
False
The smaller the contribution margin ratio, the smaller the amount of sales required to cover a given amount of fixed expenses.
False
Under absorption costing, a portion of fixed manufacturing overhead cost is released from inventory when production volume exceeds sales volume.
False
Wedd Corporation uses activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools as follows: Processing, $50,500; Supervising, $28,600; and Other, $24,700. Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below: Product O6 10,900 1,420 Product D7 890 510 Total 11,7901, 930 The activity rate for the Processing activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to:

Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 16% and its fixed monthly expenses are $47,000. If the company's sales for a month are $305,000, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income? Assume that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.
Profit = (CM ratio × Sales) - Fixed expenses = (0.16 × $305,000) - $47,000 = $1,800****

Schister Systems uses the following data in its Cost-Volume-Profit analyses: - Sales $400,000 - Variable expenses 220,000 - Contribution margin 180,000 - Fixed expenses 1 20,000 - Net operating income $60,000 What is total contribution margin if sales volume increases by 30%?
1) CM ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales = $180,000 ÷ $400,000 = 0.45 -------------------------------------- 2) Contribution margin = 0.45 × (1.3 × $400,000) = $234,000
A manufacturing company that produces a single product has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $131 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 3,320 Units sold 2,890 Units in ending inventory 430 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $45 Direct labor $15 Variable manufacturing overhead $7 Variable selling and administrative expense $19 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $92,960 Fixed selling and administrative expense $28,900 The total gross margin for the month under absorption costing is:
1) Direct materials$45 Direct labor $15 Variable manufacturing overhead $7 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost ($92,960 ÷ 3,320 units produced) $28 -------------------------------------- Absorption costing unit product cost $95 -------------------------------------- 2) Sales (2,890 units sold × $131 per unit) $378,590 Cost of goods sold (2,890 units sold × $95 per unit) 274,550 -------------------------------------- Gross margin$104,040*****
Rovinsky Corporation, a company that produces and sells a single product, has provided its contribution format income statement for November. - Sales (5,700 units) $319,200 - Variable expenses 188,100 - Contribution margin 131,100 - Fixed expenses 106,500 - Net operating income $24,600 If the company sells 5,300 units, its net operating income should be closest to:
1) Selling price per unit = Sales ÷ Quantity sold = $319,200 ÷ 5,700 units = $56 per unit ---------------------------------------------- 2) Variable expenses per unit = Variable expenses ÷ Quantity sold = $188,100 ÷ 5,700 units = $33 per unit ----------------------------------------------- 3) Unit CM = Selling price per unit - Variable expenses per unit = $56 per unit - $33 per unit = $23 per unit ----------------------------------------------- 4) Profit = (Unit CM × Q) - Fixed expenses ($23 per unit × 5,300 units) - $106,500 = $15,400****
A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $12.20 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $3.20 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $38,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $42,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,200 units and sales of 3,700 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
1) Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced − Units sold 0 units + 4,200 units − 3,700 units = 500 units -------------------------------------- 2) Value of ending inventory under variable costing = Units in ending inventory × Variable production cost 500 units × $12.20 per unit = $6,100***

Allocating common fixed costs to segments on segmented income statements increases the usefulness of such statements.
False
Departmental overhead rates will correctly assign overhead costs in situations where a company has a range of products that differ in volume, lot size, or complexity of production.
False
Direct labor costs are usually included in the costs that are allocated to activity cost pools in an activity-based costing system.
False
First-stage allocations in an ABC system should not be based on the opinions of employees about how costs should be distributed among activity cost pools.
False
In activity-based costing, as in traditional costing systems, manufacturing costs are not assigned to products.
False
When switching from a traditional costing system to an activity-based costing system that contains some batch-level costs:
the unit product costs of high volume products typically decrease and the unit product costs of low volume products typically increase.
