ABC Worksheet

There are four steps in the two-stage cost allocation process using ABC. Which of the following not one of those steps? Select a cost driver for each activity cost pool. O Identify and classify activities. Identify the volume-based cost driver. O Form activity cost pools and assign indirect costs to each pool.

In a two-stage activity-based costing model, stage one involves Select one: O O A. assigning activity costs to cost objects. B. assigning indirect resource costs to activity pools. C. measuring the various indirect resource costs and determining resource drivers. D. assigning direct costs to cost objects.

ABC costing attempts to: O A. classify as many costs as indirect costs as is feasible. OB. identify the activities involved in a process. create as many cost pools as possible. O C. O D. seek a lesser level of detail.

In an activity-based costing system, the first step in assigning costs is to • A. separate nonvalue-adding activities from value-adding activities. B. identify the appropriate activities for each function. • C. analyze all nonvalue-adding activities to determine if they are necessary support areas. D. accumulate costs for each activity.

2. The internal cost analysis process involves the following in what order? (A) Identify the links between the process and check for opportunities to lower costs, (B) Identify the value creating processes and the cost of each, (C) Identify the cost driver for each process and the cost per activity level.   a. A, B, Cb. C, A, Bc. B, A, Cd. B, C, A

1.An activity that has a direct cause-effect relationship with the resources consumed is a(n) Group of answer choices cost driver overhead rate cost pool product activity

In developing an ABC system, what is the last step? Identify the primary activities and estimate a total cost pool for each. Select an allocation base for each activity. Allocate the costs to the cost object using the activity cost allocation rates. Calculate an activity cost allocation rate for each activity.

The allocation of indirect costs in an activity-based costing system a. may require other costs to be allocated to activities before the costs of the activities can be allocated to the products. b. is simplified because more costs are identified as direct costs. c. requires the use of heterogeneous cost pools. d. is simplified because a limited number of activities are identified as cost objects.

Distinguish between the single-rate and the dual-rate methods. The single-rate (cost-allocation) method makes costs in each cost pool to cost objects using distinction between fixed costs and variable costs in the cost pool. It allocates rate per unit of the single allocation base.

(Management Accounting) When assigning indirect costs to a cost object, an ideal cost-allocation base measures ________. A) the proportion of indirect costs to direct costs B) the extent a particular cost is caused by a cost object C) multiple cost drivers D) the proportion of direct costs to indirect costs
