False

A bill of materials is a document that lists the type and quantity of each type of direct material needed to complete a unit of product.

Conversion cost is the sum of direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead cost.

True

Depreciation on equipment a company uses in its selling and administrative activities would be classified as a period cost.

True

In activity-based costing, a separate activity rate (i.e., predetermined overhead rate) is computed for each activity cost pool by dividing the estimated overhead cost in the activity cost pool by the total expected activity for the activity cost pool.

True

In the Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured, Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process inventory - Ending work in process inventory.

True

In the Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold, Unadjusted cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured − Ending finished goods inventory.

True

The costs attached to products that have not been sold are included in ending inventory on the balance sheet.

True

The fact that one department may be labor intensive while another department is machine intensive explains in part why multiple predetermined overhead rates are often used in larger companies.

True

The three cost elements ordinarily included in product costs are direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.

True
