Which of the following is a true statement about activity-based supplier costing?
Suppliers can affect many internal activities of a firm and significantly increase the cost of purchasing.
Common Fixed Expenses;
Fixed expenses that are jointly caused by two or more segments. These expenses exist even if one of the segments is eliminated.
Suppose that a company is spending $60,000 per year for inspecting, $30,000 for purchasing, and $40,000 for reworking products. A good estimate of nonvalue-added costs would be
$100,000
Assume that the moving activity has an expected cost of $80,000 . Expected direct labor hours are 20,000 , and expected number of moves is 40,000 . The best activity rate for moving is
$2 per move
The receiving department employs one worker, who spends 25% of his time on the receiving activity and 75% of his time on inspecting products. His salary is $40,000 . The amount of cost assigned to the receiving activity is
$30,000
This year, Lambert Company will ship 1,500,000 pounds of goods to customer at a cos of $1200,000. If a customer orders 10,000 pounds and produces $200,000 of revenue (total revenue is $20 millions), the amount of shipping cost assigned to the customer by using ABC would be
$8000, ($0.80per pound shipped).
Refer to the information above. The consumption ratios for the inspection activity for each product are
.5 and .5
Which of the following are nonvalue-added activities?
1, Moving goods 2, Storing goods 3, Inspecting finished goods 4, Reworking a defective product
Interview questions are asked to determine
1,what activities are being performed., 2,who performs the activities., 3,the relative amount of time spent on each activity by individual workers., 4, possible activity drivers for assigning costs to products,
Chapter 5 1, Applies overhead costs to products produced, 2, Uses one plantwide overhead rate or departmental overhead rates on the basis of a unit-level cost driver, 3, Assumes overhead costs are directly related to units produced,
Chapter 7 1, Applies overhead costs to products produced 2, Uses multiple activity overhead rates on the basis of a non-unit-level cost driver 3, Assumes overhead costs are related to activity consumption for units produced
Which of the following is a true statement about activity-based customer costing?
Customer diversity requires multiple drivers to trace costs accurately to customers.
Lead time:
Days required to receive EOQ once order is placed
The optimal number of units that should be ordered at one time to minimize total inventory costs
EOQ= the square root of: 2x Cost of placing one order x annual units/Cost of carrying one unit in inventory
Variable Costing
Thus, under absorption costing, fixed overhead is viewed as a period cost.
Absorption Costing
Thus, under absorption costing, fixed overhead is viewed as a product cost, not a period cost.
The ending balance of which of the following accounts is calculated by summing the totals of the open (unfinished) job-order cost sheets?
Work in proces
A batch-level driver is consumed by a product each and every time that
a batch of product is produced.
1, Identify activities and
activity cost driver.
The second stage of ABC entails the assignment of
activity costs to products or customers.
The cost of inspecting incoming parts is most likely to be reduced by
activity elimination.
A forklift and its driver used for moving materials are examples of
activity inputs.
In a normal costing system, the cost of a job includes
actual direct materials, actual direct labor, and estimated (applied) overhead
The overhead variance is overapplied if
actual overhead is less than applied overhead.
When a job is completed, the total cost of the job is
added to the finished goods account.
Applied overhead is
an important part of normal costing.
Variable and selling expense
common selling and administrative expense
An example of an environmental internal failure cost is
cost of operating scrubbers
An example of an environmental prevention cost is
developing environmental management systems.
An example of a societal cost is
medical care due to polluted air.
The first stage of ABC entails the assignment of
resource costs to individual activities.

Lambert Company has two suppliers: Deming and Leming. The cost of warranty work due to defective components is $2,000,000. The total units repaired under warranty average 100,000 , of which 90,000 have components from Deming and 10,000 have components from Leming. Select the items below that represent true statements.
1, Components purchased from Leming cost $200,000 more than their purchase price. 2, Components purchased from Deming cost $1,800,000 more than their purchase price. 3, Components from Leming appear to be of higher quality.
Job-Order, and Process costing
1. Job-order costing is used only in manufacturing firms, 2, Process costing is used only for services, 3, job- order costing is simpler to use that process costing because the record keeping requirements are less. 4, The job cost sheet is subsidiary to the work-in-process account.
Wilson Company has a predetermined overhead rate of $5 per direct labor hour. The job-order cost sheet for Job 145 shows 500 direct labor hours costing $10,000 and materials requisitions totaling $17,500 Job 145 had 1000 completed and transferred to Finished Goods. What is the cost per unit for Job 145?
