When determining the cost of a manufactured good under an operation-costing system, a company would: Atrace direct-material cost and actual conversion cost to each product produced. B. trace direct-material cost to each product produced and use a predetermined application rate for conversion cost. C trace actual conversion cost to each product produced and use a predetermined application rate for direct material. D. use a predetermined application rate for both direct-material cost and conversion cost. E. often switch to a job-costing system to simplify recordkeeping procedures.

A) To allocate indirect costs to products based on a predetermined formula.B) To determine the actual overhead costs incurred during a specific production period.C) To calculate variable costs associated with each unit of production.D) To assess fixed costs that remain constant regardless of production levels.
Which of the following statements is true? Direct costs are allocated to cost objects using a predetermined overhead rate. Period costs are allocated to inventory in order to determine the amount to be reported on the balance sheet. Indirect costs are allocated to cost objects using a predetermined overhead rate. Indirect costs are traced to costs objects based on the cost object identified on the purchase and requisition orders.
Which of the following statements is true? Select one: a. The most complex of the cost estimation methods is the high-low method. b. In approximating the cost function, the account analysis classifies costs based upon an industrial engineer's evaluation of production methods, and material, labor, and overhead requirements. c. The high-low method is used to derive an estimated line of cost behavior by graphically connecting the two cost amounts identified with the highest and lowest volume levels. d. Engineering approach approximates cost function by classifying each account as either variable or fixed based on the analyst's knowledge of how the account behaves. e.

Cost assignment and cost allocation are used to support and explain the relationship between cost drivers and cost objects in assigning product costs. The relationship of direct materials, direct labor, product, and period cost type are of direct importance. Discuss and provide an example of how cost assignments and cost allocation pertain to one of the costing types. Support your rationale.
