uunit 2 : Unit 2: Introduction to Job Costing, Activity Based Costing, Process Costing and Customer Profitability Analysis. – Quiz1.Volume-based cost accounting systems often do a poor job of product costing because they: (Points : 2) Use only volume-based cost drivers. Fail to recognize the impact of overhead in product cost. Often do not reflect changes in major cost categories caused by plant automation. Too often use an allocation base that does not have a cause-effect relationship to resource usage.2.ABC Company listed the following data for 2010:Budgeted Factory Overhead$1,044,000Budgeted Direct Labor Hours 72,000Budgeted Machine Hours24,000Actual Factory Overhead1,037,400Actual Direct Labor Hours72,000Actual Machine Hours 23,000Round calculations to two significant digits.

Completed units. Equivalent units. Produced units. Units to account for.13.The major limitation of volume-based costing systems is the use of volume-based: (Points : 2) Criteria. Standards. Rates. Variances. Restrictions.14.Multistage ABC is used when: (Points : 2) There are many departments in the organization. Management wants a higher level of accuracy from the ABC calculations. There are complex relationships among the activities. To simplify the ABC calculations. There is no such thing as Multistage ABC.15.With the increase in competition over the past several years, traditional cost accounting systems have become less common in product costing because (Points : 2) They use volume-based cost drivers. They use structural cost drivers. They use executional cost drivers. They use indirect cost drivers.16.A Production Cost Report summarizes all except: (Points : 2) The physical units of a department. The equivalent units of a department. The costs incurred during the period. The costs assigned to both units completed and ending work-in-process inventories. The budgeted labor and overhead application rates.17.In a process costing system, the cost of abnormal spoilage should be: (Points : 2) Prorated between units transferred out and ending inventory. Included in the cost of units transferred out. Treated as a loss in the period incurred. Ignored in the period incurred.18.For job costing in service industries, overhead costs are usually applied to jobs based on: (Points : 2) Factory overhead. Indirect labor. Indirect materials.

Direct materials.19.Roussey Co. had the following information for the month of June:Work-in-Progress Inventory – 6/12,000 UnitsUnits Transferred In10,000 UnitsWork-in-Progress Inventory – 6/303,000 UnitsBeginning work-in-process inventory is 30 percent complete as to conversion. Ending work-in-process inventory is 40 percent complete as to conversion. Materials are added at the end of the process.The equivalent units for materials under the weighted-average method are calculated to be: (Points : 2) 12,000. 10,000. 9,600. 9,000. 7,000.20.Under conventional job costing, factory overhead costs are assigned to products or services using labor or machine hours which are: (Points : 2) Multiple cost pools.
