Description

COST ACCOUNTING REVIEWER PRELIM TRUE-FALSE STATEMENTS 1.

Full costing is equivalent to absorption costing.

2.

In full or absorption costing, all manufacturing costs are charged to the product.

3.

Variable costing is the approach used for external reporting under generally accepted accounting principles.

4.

Fixed manufacturing costs are not charged to the product under variable costing.

5.

The difference between absorption costing and variable costing is the treatment of fixed manufacturing overhead.

6.

Fixed manufacturing overhead is a period cost under absorption costing.

7.

Selling and administrative costs are period costs under both absorption and variable costing.

8.

Manufacturing cost per unit will be higher under variable costing than under absorption costing.

9.

Some fixed manufacturing costs of the current period are deferred to future periods through ending inventory under variable costing.

10.

When units produced exceed units sold, income under absorption costing is higher than income under variable costing.

11.Manufacturing costs that cannot be classified as direct material or direct labor are classified as operating expenses. 12.

Raw materials are equal to direct materials.

13.

Raw materials that cannot be conveniently and directly associated with a finished product, but are used in production, are called indirect materials.

14.

The total cost of a finished product generally contains equal amounts of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs.

15.

Direct material costs and direct labor costs are prime costs.

16.

An assumption of CVP analysis is that all costs can be classified as either variable or fixed.

17.

In CVP analysis, the term ‘cost’ includes only manufacturing costs.

18.

Contribution margin is the amount of profit remaining after deducting cost of goods sold.

19.

The contribution margin per unit is the amount that each unit sold contributes towards covering fixed and variable costs.

20.

The contribution margin ratio is calculated by dividing the unit contribution margin by the unit sales price.

MULTIPLE CHOICE:

1.

How is cost of goods manufactured calculated? a. Beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor manufacturing overhead + ending WIP b. Direct materials used + direct labor + manufacturing overhead beginning WIP + ending WIP c. Beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor manufacturing overhead – ending WIP d.
