 Multiplying the actual total quantity of the cost allocation base by actual total indirect costs.

Question 10

 O'Reilly Enterprises manufactures digital video equipment. For each unit $2,950 of direct material is used and there is $2,000 of direct manufacturing labor at $20 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at $35 per direct manufacturing labor hour. Calculate the cost of each unit.



 

 

 

A.        $4,950, B. $9,950, C. $8,450, D. $11,950

 

 

Question 11

 Joni's Kitty Supplies applies manufacturing overhead costs to products at a budgeted indirect-cost rate of $60 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. A retail outlet has requested a bid on a special order of the Toy Mouse product. Estimates for this order include: Direct materials $40,000; 500 direct manufacturing labor-hours at $20 per hour; and a 20% markup rate on total manufacturing costs.Manufacturing overhead cost estimates for this special order total:

 

 $10,000

 $30,000

 $36,000

 None of these answers is correct.

Question 13

 ABC systems create:

 

 One large cost pool

 Homogenous activity-related cost pools

 Activity-cost pools with a broad focus

 activity-cost pools containing many direct costs

Question 16

 Activity-based costing systems provide better product costs when they: 



 Employ more activity-cost drivers

 Employ fewer activity-cost drivers

 Identify and cost more indirect cost differences among products

 Always yield more accurate product costs than traditional systems

Question 17

 Quality management provides an important competitive edge because it: 



 Reduces costs

 Increases customer satisfaction

 Often results in substantial savings and higher revenues in the short run

 All of these answers are correct.

Question 18

 An example of a nonfinancial measure for customer satisfaction is: 



 Average manufacturing time for key products

 Contribution margin

 Percentage of products that fail soon after delivery

 Number of employees trained on managing bottleneck operations

Question 19

 A tool which indicates how frequently each type of defect occurs is a: 



 Control chart

 Pareto diagram

 Cause-and-effect diagram

 Fishbone diagrams

Question 20

 An important difference between financial measures of quality and nonfinancial measures of quality is that:

 

 Financial measures of quality tend to be useful indicators of future long-term performance, while nonfinancial measures have more of a short-term focus

 Nonfinancial measures of quality tend to be useful indicators of future long-term performance, while financial measures of quality have more of a short-term focus

 

 Nonfinancial measures are generally too subjective to have any long-term value

 

 None of these answers is correct.

 

 

 

Question 12

 Bauer Manufacturing uses departmental cost driver rates to allocate manufacturing overhead costs to products. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated on the basis of machine-hours in the Machining Department and on the basis of direct labor-hours in the Assembly Department. At the beginning of 20X3, the following estimates were provided for the coming year:

 Machining Assembly

 Direct labor-hours 30,000 60,000 60,000

 Machine-hours 80,000 20,000 20,000

 Direct labor cost $500,000 $900,000 $900,000

 Manufacturing overhead costs $420,000 $240,000 $240,000

 The accounting records of the company show the following data for Job #316:

 Machining Assembly

 Direct labor-hours 120 70 70

 Machine-hours 60 5 5

 Direct material cost $300 $200 $200

 Direct labor cost $100 $400 $400

 For Bauer Manufacturing, what is the annual manufacturing overhead cost-allocation rate for the Machining Department?



 $4.00

 $4.20

 A. $4.00, B.$4.20

 C. $4.67

 D. $5.25 $4.67

 $5.25

Question 15

 Velshi Printers has contracts to complete weekly supplements required by forty-six customers.

 For the year 2010, manufacturing overhead cost estimates total $840,000 for an annual production capacity of 12 million pages.For 2010 Velshi Printers has decided to evaluate the use of additional cost pools.

 After analyzing manufacturing overhead costs, it was determined that number of design changes, setups, and inspections are the primary manufacturing overhead cost drivers.The following information was gathered during the

 

 

 

            analysis:

            Cost Pool Manufacturing Overhead Costs Activity Level Activity Level

            Design changes $120,000 300 design changes 300 design changes

            Setups $640,000 5,000 setups 5,000 setups

            Inspections $80,000 5,000 setups 8,000 inspections

            Total manufacturing overhead costs $840,000

 

 

 During 2010, two customers, Money Managers and Hospital Systems, are expected to use the following printing services:

 ActivityMoneyManagersHospital Systems

 Pages 60,000 76,000

 Design changes 10 0

 Setups 20 10

 Inspections 30 38

 

What is the cost driver rate if manufacturing overhead costs are considered one large cost pool and are assigned based on 12 million pages of production capacity?



 

A.        $0.10 per page

B.        $0.07 per page

C.        $0.70 per page
