Question
8. In a contribution income statement,
a. costs are classified as to function.
b. fixed and variable manufacturing costs are combined as one level item.
c. fixed costs are shown separately from variable costs.
d. fixed manufacturing costs are shown separately from variable manufacturing costs, but fixed and variable
operating costs are combined as one line item.
9. Sensitivity analysis, when used in cost-volume-profit analysis,
a.is done through various possible scenarios and computes the impact on profit of various predictions of future
events.
b. is done through various possible scenarios and determines the effect of the cost accounting systems used in
each scenario.
c. allows the decision-maker to introduce probabilities in the evaluation of decision alternatives.
d. allows managers to study how total fixed costs vary with
cost drivers.
10. The assumptions under which CVP analysis operates primarily hinge on certainty. However, when uncertainty
enters the situation, the results may not be so clear. In this case, the MAS consultant should
a. use a sample from the entire population of data to generate a decision model and make the decision for
management.
b. do nothing. It is not the MAS consultant's responsibility to be concerned with the uncertainty of the results
and/or assumptions.
c. ascertain the probabilities of various outcomes and work with management on understanding
those probabilities in reference to the CVP decision.
d. refer the case to another consultant who is an expert in making accurate predictions.
11. Which of the following statements concerning standard costs is false?
a. If properly used, standards can'help motivate employees.
b. All variances, whether favorable or unfavorable, should be investigated.
c. Standard costs should be attainable under conditions of efficient operation.
d. A standard cost system may be used with a process costing system or a job order costing system.
12. Variance analysis should be used
a. as the only source of information for performance evaluation.
b. to understand why variances arise.
c. to encourage employees to focus on meeting standards.
d. to administer appropriate disciplinary action to employees that do not meet standards.
13. Standard costing systems may be used with
a. just-in-time systems.
b. computer-integrated manufacturing systems.
c. total quality management
d. all of the above.
14. Standard costing is used to isolate the variances between standard costs and actual costs. It
allows management to measure performance and correct inefficiencies, thereby helping to
a. allocate costs accurately.
b. determine the break-even point.
c. control costs
d. eliminate management's need for subjective decisions.
