Answer: TRUE

2. Inventory Methods can be changed at will to control reported net income. (cost of goods sold)

Answer: FALSE

3. An overstated ending inventory leads to understated net income. (understated);

(overstated)

Answer: FALSE

*When an ending inventory overstatement occurs, the cost of goods sold is stated too low,
which means that net income before taxes is overstated by the amount of the inventory
overstatement; vice versa.

4. An error in determining the cost of the ending inventory of a period generally results in misstated
net income for two periods.

Answer: TRUE

5. The net realizable value of an inventory item can never be greater than its expected selling price

Answer: TRUE

6. An advantage of using lifo yields the greatest Cost of Goods Sold.

Answer: TRUE

7. Spoiled goods may be sold at an amount higher than the regular sales price. (lower)

Answer: FALSE

*Spoiled goods are goods that do not meet production standards and are either sold for their
salvage value or discarded. When spoiled units are discovered, they are taken out of production and
no further work is performed on them.

8. If spoilage in a job results is due to the exacting specifications of the job, the loss resulting from
the spoiled goods should be shared by all units manufactured during the period. (the specific job)

Answer: FALSE

*If the reason for the spoilage is the job itself, because it requires exacting specifications, or a
difficult, intricate or complicated manufacturing process.

9. The closing entries necessary under the perpetual and periodic inventory systems do not differ
because all expenses and revenues must be close. (differ)

Answer: FALSE

*Perpetual inventory systems record cost of goods sold and keep inventory at its current
balance throughout the year. Therefore, there is no need to do a year-end inventory adjustment
unless the perpetual records disagree with the inventory count. In addition, a separate cost of goods
sold calculation is unnecessary since cost of goods sold is recorded whenever inventory is sold.

*The inventory account in a periodic inventory system keeps its beginning balance until the
end of period adjustment to the physical inventory count. Therefore, a separate cost of goods sold
calculation is necessary.

10. When a company changes from one inventory costing method to another, the change must be
fully disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements explaining the reasons for the change.

Answer: TRUE

11. Graphically, the economic order quality (EOQ) is the point where the carrying cost line intersect
the ordering cost line.

Answer: TRUE

12. The primary goal of inventory management activity is to minimize the risks of a stockout while
maximizing the return on inventory. (inventory related costs)

Answer: FALSE

13. When computing the economic production run size, the costs to set up a production run are
analogous to carrying costs in the basic economic order quantity model. (order costs)

Answer: FALSE

14. The purchase price per unit of inventory is irrelevant in lathe economic order quantity (EOQ)
model.

Answer: TRUE

15. The accounting for spoiled units and defective units is the same. (different)

Answer: FALSE

*When spoiled units are discovered, they are taken out of production and no further work is
performed on them. While defective units do not meet production standards and must be processed
further in order to be salable as good units or as irregulars.

Multiple Choice - Problems

1. According to the net method, which of the following items should be included in the cost of
inventory?
Freight-cost Purchase discounts not taken
a. Yes No
b. Yes Yes
c. No Yes
d. No No

Answer: A

Explanation:

The cost of inventory should include all expenditures (direct and indirect) incurred to
bring an item to its existing condition and location. Freight charges are thus appropriately
included in inventory costs. Under the net purchase method, purchase discounts not taken are
recorded in a Purchase Discount Lost Account. When this method is used, purchase discounts
lost are considered a financial expense and are thus excluded from the cost of inventory.

2. The weighted average for the year inventory cost flow method is applicable to which of the
following inventory system?
Periodic Perpetual
a. Yes Yes
b. Yes No
c. No Yes
d. No No
Answer: B

Explanation:

Weighted average for the year inventory cost flow method is applicable only to
periodic inventory system because in perpetual inventory system, moving average
method is the one being used.

3. During June, Delta Co. experienced scrap, normal spoilage, and abnormal spoilage in its
manufacturing process. The cost of units produced includes

a. Scrap, but not spoilage

b. Normal spoilage, but neither scrap nor abnormal spoilage
c. Scrap and normal spoilage, but not abnormal spoilage
d. None of the items mentioned

Answer: C

Downloaded by John David Martinez ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|9676746

Explanation:

The cost of units produced includes scrap and normal spoilage but does not include
abnormal spoilage. Abnormal spoilage is recognized as a loss when it is discovered, therefore
it is not included in the cost of units produced.

4. Marsh Company had 150 units of product on hand at January 1, costing P21.00 each. Purchases
of product A during the month of January were as follows:

Units Unit Cost

January 10 200 22.00
18 250 23.00
28 100 24.00

Physical count on January 31 shows 250 units of product A on hand. The cost of inventory at
January 31, under the FIFO method is:

a. P 5, 850
b. P 5, 550
c. P 5, 350
d. P 5, 250

Answer: A
Solution:

150 units x 23 (Unit Cost) = 3,450

100 units x 24 (Unit Cost) = 2,400
250 units 5,850

Explanation:
Under the Fifo method, remaining units are those purchased at the later date. Thus the
units on hand on January 31 are those remaining from January 18 and 28.

9. Factory overhead would include:

a. Wages of office clerk.

b. Sales manager’s salary.
c. Supervisor’s salary.

d. Tax accountant’s salary.

ANS: C

The supervisor’s salary is considered indirect labor because the supervisor is required
for the

manufacturing process, but does not work directly on the units being
manufactured. Indirect labor is

included in factory overhead. The office clerk’s wages, sales manager’s salary and
tax accountant’s
salary are marketing or administrative costs.

Assuming Stanley does not use indirect materials, the cost of materials purchased during the
year
amounted to:
a. 455.
b. 450.
c. 365.

d. 360.
ANS: D

Materials purchased added to Materials inventory at the beginning of the month results
in the materials available for use. During the year, the materials are used or they remain
in the Materials inventory at the end of the year, so the total of materials used and
ending Materials inventory is also the total of the amount of materials available.
Therefore, the equation can be rearranged to compute the materials purchases as
follows:

Direct materials used 365

Add ending inventory of materials 85
Materials available during the year 450
Less beginning inventory of materials 90

19. Which of the following production operations would be most likely to employ a job order
system of cost accounting?
a. Candy manufacturing
b. Crude oil refining
c. Printing text books

d. Flour Milling

ANS: C

Printing would be most likely to employ a job order system of cost accounting due to
the number of custom jobs involved. The manufacture of candy, the vulcanizing of
rubber, and the refining of crude oil would normally be a continuous process of
producing like goods and would be accounted for under the process cost system.

20. An accounting firm wanting to track the costs of serving different clients may use a:

a. process cost system.

b. job order cost system.

c. cost control system.

d. standard cost system.

22. An industry that would most likely use process costing procedures is:
a. Beverage.

b. Home Construction.
c. Printing.
d. Shipbuilding.
ANS: A

Beverage production usually consists of continuous output of homogeneous products

for which process costing is used. The other three industries would utilize job order
costing because each product or group of products is made to order.

23. In job order costing, the basic document for accumulating the cost of each job is the:

a. Job cost sheet.

b. Requisition sheet.
c. Purchase order.
d. Invoice.
ANS: A

In job order costing, the basic document to accumulate the cost of each job is the job
cost sheet.

24. Under a job order system of cost accounting, the dollar amount of the entry to transfer
inventory from Work in Process to Finished Goods is the sum of the costs charged to all jobs:

a. In process during the period.

b. Completed and sold during the period.
c. Completed during the period.

d. Started in process during the period.

ANS: C

When jobs are completed during the period, Finished Goods is debited and Work in
Process is credited for the cost of the completed jobs.

25. Under a job order system of cost accounting, Cost of Goods Sold is debited and Finished
Goods is
credited for a:
a. Transfer of materials to the factory.
b. Shipment of completed goods to the customer.

c. Transfer of completed production to the finished goods storeroom.

d. Purchase of goods on account.
ANS: B

When completed goods are shipped to customers, Cost of Goods Sold is debited and
Finished Goods is credited.

26. An effective cost control system should include:

a. An established plan of objectives and goals to be achieved.
b. Regular reports showing the difference between goals and actual performance.
c. Specific assignment of duties and responsibilities.
d. All of these are correct.
ANS: D

An effective cost control system should include an established plan of goals and
objectives, reports comparing budgeted goals to actual performance, and
assignment of specific duties and responsibilities to operating personnel.

27. To effectively control materials, a business must maintain:

a. Limited access.

b. Combination of duties.
c. Safety stock.
d. None of these are correct.
ANS: A

To control materials a business must maintain limited access, segregation of duties,

and accuracy in recording.

28. Tenaj is the purchasing agent at Frameco Manufacturing. Her duties include vendor

 lOMoARcPSD|9676746

receiving reports after comparing the goods received to the purchase order. This is an example
of:
a. unlimited access to materials.
b. independence of assigned functions.

c. misappropriation of assets.
d. a lack of segregation of duties.
ANS: D

Because tenaj’s job as a purchasing agent involves preparing the purchase orders and
she is also comparing items received to the purchase orders, there is a lack of
segregation of duties. This increases the potential for the misappropriation of assets, but
there is not enough information given to determine that a misappropriation has indeed
occurred.

29. Barley Company hired a consultant to help improve its operations. The
consultant’s report stated that Barley’s inventory levels are excessive and cited several
negative consequences to Marley as a result.
Which of the following was not cited in the report?
a. Possible other uses for working capital now tied up in inventory
b. Production stoppages due to parts not being available

c. Higher property taxes and insurance costs

d. Large quantities of obsolete materials
ANS: B

It is important to maintain inventories of sufficient size and variety to meet production

needs. However, if Barley’s inventories are excessive, it is likely that parts are available
for production, but the excess inventory is resulting in higher costs related to holding
those items such as property taxes and insurance and potential losses from
obsolescence or deterioration. Funds invested in inventories could be used for other
purposes.

30. Sully Company uses 3,000 yards of canvas each day to make tents. It usually
takes ten days from the time Sully orders the material to when it is received. If

31. What is the objective of the economic order quantity (EOQ) model for inventory? a. To
minimize order costs or carrying costs, whichever are higher

b. To minimize order costs or carrying costs and maximize the rate of inventory turnover

c. To minimize the total order costs and carrying costs over a period of time

d. To order sufficient quantity to economically meet the next period's demand

ANS: C

If the demand for the product can be determined because it is predictable, the essence
of any EOQ model for inventory is to minimize the total order costs and also minimize
the total carrying costs.

32. Expected annual usage of a particular raw material is 1,200,000 units, and standard order
size is 10,000 units. The invoice cost of each unit is 145, and the

36. The inventory method which results in the most recent costs being assigned to inventory
on hand at the end of the period is:
a. First-in, first-out.

b. Last-in, first-out.
c. Last-in, last-out.
d. Moving average.
ANS: A

First-in, first-out (FIFO) results in the most recent costs being assigned to ending
inventory because
the oldest costs are assigned to issues first.

37. The inventory method which results in the prices paid for the earliest purchases being
assigned to
inventory on hand at the end of the period is:
a. First-in, first-out.
b. Last-in, first-out.

c. Last-in, last-out.
d. Moving average.
ANS: B

Last-in, first-out (LIFO) results in the oldest costs being assigned to ending
inventory because the most recent costs are assigned to issues first.

38. In a period of rising prices, the use of which of the following cost flow methods would

lowest tax liability?
a. FIFO
b. LIFO

c. Weighted average cost

d. Moving average cost

Downloaded by John David Martinez ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|9676746

ANS: B
Under the LIFO method, the most recent purchases, which were the most expensive,
would be

considered to be the goods sold. This would result in higher cost of goods sold, thus
lower gross
margins which in turn would result in lower income taxes.

39. Inventory levels for firms using JIT inventory systems compared to firms not using JIT
will be:
a. Higher for both work in process and finished goods.
b. Higher for work in process and finished goods but lower for raw materials.
c. Lower for raw materials, work in process, and finished goods.

d. Higher for finished goods but lower for raw materials and work in process.
ANS: C

Manufacturers using just-in-time inventory systems will maintain lower inventory levels
for all three types of inventories. Materials are delivered in time to be placed in
production. Work in Process inventories are minimized by eliminating inventory buffers
between work cells and Finished Goods inventories are eliminated because items are
produced as customers order them.

40. Just-in-time production techniques:

a. Require inventory buffers between work centers.
b. Were first utilized by U.S. manufacturers and later exported to Japan.

c. Produce goods for inventory with the hope that demand for these goods will then be
created.

d. Require a high degree of cooperation and coordination between supplier

and manufacturer.
ANS: D

A just-in-time inventory system is a “pull” inventory system ultimately driven by

customer demand so

goods are not produced in the hope of selling them. In addition, inventory buffers are
minimized as

production on units in one manufacturing cell is started only when the subsequent
operation requests

 lOMoARcPSD|9676746

them. For a just-in-time inventory system to be effective, suppliers must be in close

proximity to

customers to enable the delivery of raw materials to coincide with

production's need for them.

41. The accounting system used with JIT manufacturing is called:

a. Backflush costing.

b. The push system.

c. Perpetual inventory costing.
d. First-in, first-out.
ANS: A
The accounting system used with JIT is called backflush costing.

42. At a plant where car doors were manufactured, all of the following would be classified
as direct labor except:
a. Machinists.
b. Assembly workers.
c. Maintenance personnel.

d. Painters.
ANS: C

Maintenance workers, while integral to the manufacturing process as they keep the
machinery maintained, are not direct laborers because they do not actually add value to
the product. Machinists, assembly workers and painters would all add value to the
manufacture of a car door.

43. All of the following are characteristics of hourly wage plans except:
a. They provide no extra recognition for doing more than the minimum required.
b. They are easy to apply.
c. They establish a definite rate per hour for each employee.

d. They encourage employees to sacrifice quality in order to maximize earnings.

ANS: D

Downloaded by John David Martinez ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|9676746

Hourly wage plans pay a fixed rate per hour, so they are easy to apply, but they do not
provide any incentive to do more than what is required, nor do they encourage
employees to work so fast as to sacrifice quality.

44. Which of the following costs would be included in factory overhead in the
manufacture of a student’s desk?

a. The wages of the operator of the machine that bends the metal legs of the desk into shape.

b. The wages of the forklift operator who moves finished desks to the finished
goods warehouse.

c. The cost of the plastic used to form the writing surface.

d. The wages of the worker who assembles the components.
ANS: B

The plastic used to form the writing surface of the desk is a direct material as it can be
traced directly to the finished product. The wages of the machine operator and the
assembly worker are direct labor costs as they add value to the product. The wages of
the forklift operator would be classified as indirect labor as s/he does not actually work
on the products themselves. Indirect labor is included in factory overhead.

45. Consider the following costs:

I. The cost of electricity which is used to power machinery and light the plant.
II. Depreciation on the building which houses both the factory and the sales
office.
Which of the following statements is true?
a. Only statement I is an example of a semivariable cost.

b. Only statement II is an example of a semivariable cost.

c. Both statements I and I are examples of semivariable costs.
d. Neither statement I nor II is an example of a semivariable cost.

ANS: A

The electricity cost has both fixed and variable components, making it a semivariable
cost. The building depreciation is a fixed cost which has both manufacturing and selling
cost components.

46. The method of analyzing the behavior of semivariable costs that relies heavily on the ability
of an observer to detect a pattern of cost behavior by reviewing past cost and volume data is
the:
a. High-low method.
b. Method of least squares.
c. Scattergraph method.
d. Observation method.
ANS: D

The observation method, also called the account analysis method, is the method of
analyzing the behavior of semivariable costs that relies heavily on the ability of an
observer to detect a pattern of cost behavior by reviewing past cost and volume data.

47.

Victoria is a budget analyst at Young Industries. She used the least squares regression
method to separate the plant’s monthly utilities cost into its fixed and variable components.
The results were as follows:
Y = 3,250 + .054 X
X = the number of units produced
R² = .892
How should Victoria interpret the R² of .892?

a. The equation is a better predictor of fixed costs than of variable costs 89.2% of the time.

b. The equation will accurately predict utility costs 89.2% of the time.
c. Fixed costs make up 89.2% of the total semi-variable cost in any given month.

d. The number of units produced explains 89.2% of the variation in the plant utilities
cost.
ANS: D
R²

2 refers to how much of the variability in the dependent variable, in this case the
utilities cost, is explained by changes in the dependent variable, which is the number of
units produced.

calculation rates.

52. The Yowens Company uses the machine hour method of applying factory overhead to
production. The budgeted factory overhead last year was 200,000, and there were 40,000
machine hours budgeted. Actual machine hours incurred during the period were 38,000, and
actual factory overhead was 215,000. What was the amount of under- or overapplied factory
overhead?
a. 10,000 underapplied
b. 15,000 underapplied
c. 25,000 underapplied

d. 10,000 overapplied
ANS: C
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted factory overhead
Budgeted machine hours
$200,000/ 40,000 hours = 5/ machine hour
Applied factory overhead = 38,000 x 5 190,000
Actual factory overhead incurred 215,000
Underapplied factory overhead (25,000)

53. Process costing techniques should be used in assigning costs to products:

d. The costs of prior production departments.
ANS: B
Marketing and distribution costs are not product costs.

55. The average cost method of process costing differs from the FIFO method of process
costing in that the average cost method:

a. Requires that ending work in process inventory be stated in terms of equivalent units of
production.
b. Can be used under any cost-flow assumption.

c. Does not consider the degree of completion of beginning work in process

inventory when computing equivalent units of production.

d. Considers the ending work in process inventory only partially complete.

ANS: C

The average cost method of process costing does not consider the degree of
completion of beginning work in process inventory when computing equivalent units of
production, while the FIFO method does.

56. When two products are produced during a common process, what is the factor that
determines whether the products are joint products or one principal product and a by-product?

a. Potential marketability for each product

b. Amount of work expended in the production of each product
c. Management policy
d. Relative total sales value
ANS: D

Downloaded by John David Martinez ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|9676746

The relative total sales value is the determining factor in deciding whether a product is a
joint product or a by-product. Products with relatively little value are by-products.

57. If a company produces two products, A and B, from a joint process, and B requires
additional processing after the split-off in order to be salable, how is the joint cost allocated
to B determined?
a. The costs of the additional processing are ignored in allocating joint costs.

b. The costs of the additional processing are subtracted from the joint costs allocated

62. One possible explanation for a company that experiences a favorable labor efficiency
variance, but an unfavorable labor rate variance could be:
a. The company paid the workers overtime.
b. The company hired more experienced workers.

c. The company purchased materials that were hard to work with.

d. The workers “goofed around” and wasted time.
ANS: B

If a company hires works that are more experienced, the average wage rate could be
higher than the standard rate and they could complete the tasks more quickly resulting
in a favorable labor efficiency variance, but an unfavorable labor rate variance. The
overtime premium paid to workers is usually charged to overtime, so this should not
impact the labor rate variance. Situations c and d would be more likely to result in
unfavorable labor efficiency variances.

63. All of the following are features of a standard cost system except: a.
Standards change as conditions change.

b. Variances may be determined more often than monthly to allow for more timely action.

c. Standards are based on estimates.

d. The company determines the actual cost of manufacturing a unit. ANS: D

When using a standard cost system, the company will not determine the actual cost of
manufacturing a unit.

64. Examples of service businesses that would use job order costing would include all of the
following except:
a. an accounting firm that has audit clients of various sizes and complexities.
b. a “quick oil change” shop that offers only basic maintenance services.

c. an automotive body repair shop specializing in collision repair.

d. a high end salon offering hair, manicure and spa services.
ANS: B

The accounting firm, collision repair shop and the salon would have customers
(jobs) with varying complexities and sizes. Job order costing would be beneficial in
these cases. The oil change shop that offers only

basic maintenance services such as oil changes, would not have as many
complexities among its customers as the others.

65. A report that compares the budgeted costs for the job to the actual costs incurred
and indicates the variances is a:
a. Budget analysis.
b. Job cost sheet.
c. Cost analysis.
d. Cost performance report.
ANS: D

A cost performance report compares budgeted cost to actual costs incurred

for a job, and indicates the variances.

66. The practice of taking overhead costs previously in a single indirect cost pool and
separating them into a number of homogeneous cost pools with separate cost drivers for
each pool is:
a. Peanut-butter costing.
b. Process costing.
c. Activities-based costing.

d. Job costing.
ANS: C

Activities-based costing is the process of separating overhead costs into a number of

homogeneous cost pools with separate cost drivers for each pool.

67. Which of the following is a more descriptive term of the type of cost accounting often
called "direct costing"?
a. Prime costing
b. Out-of-pocket costing
c. Variable costing

d. Relevant costing
ANS: C

You have recently graduated from a university and have accepted a position with Villar
Company, the manufacturer of a popular consumer product. During your first week on the job,
the vice president has been favorably impressed with your work. She has been so impressed, in
fact, that yesterday she called you into her office and asked you to attend the executive
committee meeting this morning for the purpose of leading a discussion on the variances
reported for last period. Anxious to favorably impress the executive committee, you took the
variances and supporting data home last night to study.

On your way to work this morning, the papers were laying on the seat of your new, red
convertible. As you were crossing a bridge on the highway, a sudden gust of wind caught the
papers and blew them over the edge of the bridge and into the stream below. You managed to
retrieve only one page, which contains the following information:

You recall that manufacturing overhead cost is applied to production on the basis of direct
labor-hours and that all of the materials purchased during the period were used in production.
Since the company uses JIT to control work flows, work in process inventories are insignificant
and can be ignored.

It is now 8:30 A.M. The executive committee meeting starts in just one hour; you realize that
to avoid looking like a bungling fool you must somehow generate the necessary “backup”
data for the variances before the meeting begins. Without backup data it will be impossible
to lead the discussion or answer any questions.

Questions 75 through 78 are based on Darf Company, which applies overhead on the basis of
direct labor hours. Two direct labor hours are required for each product unit. Planned
production for the period was set at 9,000 units. Manufacturing overhead is budgeted at
P135,000 for the period, of which 20% of this cost is fixed. The 17,200 hours worked during
the period resulted in production of 8,500 units. Variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred
was P108,500 and fixed manufacturing overhead cost was P28,000. Darf Company uses a
four variance method for analyzing manufacturing overhead.
