Determining the basis for applying manufacturing overhead costs involves OA. primarily the accumulation of direct labor hours since virtually all overhead costs are driven by direct labor hours. B. primarily the maintaining of accurate records of production volume since virtually all overhead costs are driven by the number of units proc OC. the determination of a measure of activity that is a causal factor in the incurrence of overhead cost. D. actual rather than budgeted levels of activity.

f) ‘Process costing is a term used in cost accounting to describe one method for collecting and assigning manufacturing costs to the units produced.’ There are some statements about the process costing: An abnormal loss occurs when expected output exceeds actual output. The scrap value of an abnormal loss is credited to the process account. The allocated cost of an abnormal gain is credited to the process account. The inputs to a process less the normal loss is the expected output. The normal loss in a process is allocated a cost in order to reconcile the costs of inputs and outputs. The FIFO method assumes opening WIP is the first group of units to be completed. Therefore, opening WIP is charged separately to completed production and CPU is based on current period costs. Required: Please identify which of the above statements are false and explain the reasons.
1.The overhead absorption rate used to allocate manufacturing overhead is calculated by: Select one: a.dividing the total estimated manufacturing overhead costs by the total estimated quantity of the allocation base b.dividing the total estimated manufacturing overhead by the total actual quantity of the cost driver c.dividing the total actual manufacturing overhead costs by the total estimated quantity of the cost driver d.dividing the total estimated quantity of the cost driver by the total estimated manufacturing overhead costs
Which of the following is correct with respect to closing out underapplied manufacturing overhead to Cost of Goods Sold versus closing it out to Work -in-Process Inventory , Finished Goods Inventory , and Cost of Goods Sold? a . The balance in the Work-in - Process account after allocation will be the same under either method . b . The balance in the Work-inProcess account after allocation will be higher if the underapplied overhead is closed out by allocating it to all appropriate accounts . c. None of given answer is correct . d. Operating income will be higher if all of the underapplied overhead is closed out to Cost of Goods Sold . e. Cost of Goods Sold will be higher if the underapplied overhead is closed out by allocating it to the inventory accounts as well as to Cost of Goods Sold
Manufacturing costs that cannot be dassifled as either direct materials or direct labor are known as O nonmanufacturing costs. O selling and administrative expenses. O manufacturing overhead. O period costs.
