Deck 6: Fundamentals of Product and Service Costing

Question 1

It is important that cost management systems are designed using the cost-benefit principle so that the costs of gathering additional information are balanced against the benefits of that information.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

Individual product costs are relevant for managerial decision-making but irrelevant for preparing the financial statements.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Operation costing is a hybrid system used in manufacturing goods that have some common characteristics and some individual characteristics.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

Process costing systems do not separate and record direct material and direct labor costs for each individual unit of product.

Question 5

The basic cost flow model applies only to physical units and not to costs.

Question 6

In general, indirect costs are allocated, while direct costs are assigned.

Question 7

The only purpose of cost information is to determine the individual product cost on a per unit basis in order to value inventory.

Question 8

Regression analysis can be used to estimate the strength of the relationship between a cost and potential allocation bases for that cost.

Question 9

If a company has three cost pools, it should have three different cost allocation bases.

Question 10

Overestimating a period's allocation base will understate the predetermined overhead rate.

Question 11

The term "product" often refers to an organization's output and includes both tangible items (e.g., chair, desk, etc.) and intangible items (e.g., services provided).

Question 12

"Beginning Balance (BB) plus Transfers Out (TO) equals Ending Balance (EB) plus Transfers In (TI)".

Question 13

The predetermined overhead rate is calculated by dividing the prior period's overhead cost by the prior period's allocation base (i.e., activity level).

Question 14

The selection of an appropriate cost allocation base is more important for single-stage cost allocation systems than for two-stage cost allocation systems.

Question 15

Hospitals are more likely to use a process costing system than a job costing system.

Question 16

One of the most common decisions facing managers is determining the price at which to sell one of their products or to provide their services.

Question 17

The Transfers In (TI) costs in the basic cost flow model of a manufacturing firm are direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.

Question 18

Cost management systems should be designed to report the same costs to each decision-maker.

Question 19

If the Beginning Balance (BB) equals the Ending Balance (EB), then the Transfers In (TI) equal the Transfers Out (TO).

Question 20

The two-stage cost allocation process allocates costs to multiple cost pools and then to individual cost objects using different allocation bases.
