1. Direct costing may be used for: Answer internal reporting purposes. external financial reporting purposes. income tax reporting purposes. all of the above. The
primary difference between absorption costing and direct costing is the treatment of: Answer direct material costs. variable manufacturing overhead. fixed
manufacturing overhead. direct labor costs. An excess of cost of goods manufactured over cost of goods sold for the period represents: Answer an increase in gross
profit. a decrease in work in process inventory. overapplied manufacturing overhead. an increase in finished goods inventory. Cost accounting is a subset of:
Answer financial accounting. process cost accounting. job order cost accounting. managerial accounting. Which of the following items would not be reported on the
statement of cost of goods manufactured? Answer Cost of goods sold. Purchases. Total manufacturing costs. Contribution margin. Total manufacturing costs for the
month on the statement of costs of goods manufactured equals: Answer variable costs + fixed costs + mixed costs. work in process inventory – finished goods
inventory. cost of goods sold – cost of goods manufactured. cost of raw material used + direct labor cost incurred + manufacturing overhead applied. A debit
balance in the manufacturing overhead account at the end of the period indicates that: Answer manufacturing overhead is overapplied. manufacturing overhead is
underapplied. manufacturing overhead has been accurately applied. None of the above. An activity-based costing system involves identifying the activity that causes

exactly equal income determined with direct costing. ending work in process inventory will increase. income determined with absorption costing will be lower than
income determined with direct costing. ending finished goods inventory will decrease. The shift in the amount of manufacturing overhead costs applied to the mix of
products produced that occurs when using a single cost driver rate as compared to using activity-based costing rates is known as: Answer underapplied overhead
overapplied overhead cost absorption cost distortion An example of a cost likely to have an indirect relationship with products being manufactured: Answer
production labor costs. raw material costs. electricity costs for packaging equipment. none of the above. The predetermined overhead application rate based on
direct labor hours is computed as: Answer actual total overhead costs divided by actual direct labor hours. estimated total overhead costs divided by estimated
direct labor hours. actual total overhead costs divided by estimated direct labor hours. estimated total overhead costs divided by actual direct labor hours. The
three components of product costs are: Answer direct material, supervisor salaries, selling expenses. direct labor, manufacturing overhead, indirect material.
direct material, direct labor, manufacturing overhead. manufacturing overhead, indirect material, indirect labor. Which of the following will cause income
determined with absorption costing to be higher than income determined with direct costing? Answer Units produced equal units sold. Units produced are greater than
units sold. Units produced are less than units sold. Income determined with absorption costing will always equal income determined with direct costing. Costs may
be allocated to a product or activity for many purposes, but care must be exercised when using allocated costs because: Answer direct costs identified with the
product or activity may not be accurately assigned. fixed costs will change in total if the volume of activity changes. all costs may not have been allocated to
the product or activity. arbitrarily allocated costs may not behave in the way assumed in the allocation method. Cost accounting is primarily concerned with:

above. In the T-account cost flow diagram of balance sheet inventory accounts and the income statement cost of goods sold account: Answer raw materials purchases
are debited to work in process. direct labor costs are credited to work in process. cost of goods manufactured is debited to finished goods inventory. cost of
goods sold is debited to finished goods inventory.
