choice D

Which of the following segment performance measures will decrease if there is an increase in the interest expense for that segment? Return on Investment Residual Income A)Yes Yes B)No Yes C)Yes No D)No No

false

false

false

false

One disadvantage of budgeting is that budgeting makes it more difficult to coordinate the plans and activities of departmental managers.

false

One of the weaknesses of budgets is that they are of little value in uncovering potential bottlenecks.

false

When preparing a direct materials budget, the required purchases of raw materials in units equals:

raw materials needed to meet the production schedule + desired ending inventory of raw materials − beginning inventory of raw materials.

The usual starting point for a master budget is:

the sales forecast or sales budget.

A benefit from budgeting is that it forces managers to think about and plan for the future.

true

All other things the same, an increase in unit sales will normally result in an increase in the return on investment.

true

Cash collections in a schedule of cash collections typically consist of collections on sales made to customers in prior periods plus collections on sales made in the current budget period.

true

Comparing a static planning budget to actual costs is not a good way to assess whether variable costs are under control.

true

In a flexible budget, when the activity declines, the total variable cost also declines.

true

The budgeted income statement is typically prepared before the budgeted balance sheet.

true

The main difference between a flexible budget and a static budget is that the static budget is not adjusted for changes in the level of activity.

true

true

The number of units to be produced in a period can be determined by adding the expected sales to the desired ending inventory and then deducting the beginning inventory.

true

The use of return on investment (ROI) as a performance measure may lead managers to reject a project that would be favorable for the company as a whole.

true

To help assess how well a manager has controlled costs, actual costs should be compared to what the costs should have been for the actual level of activity.
