True False Explanation: Question 5    Department B had 3,000 units in Work in Process that were 25% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 13,700 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 1,700 units were 95% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450, and factory overhead was $18,710. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was 16,700 12,000 1,700 13,700 Explanation: Question 6    If the costs of direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead were $522,200, $82,700, and $45,300, respectively, for 16,000 equivalent units of production, the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $8.00.

True False Explanation: Question 14    All of the following are characteristics of a process cost system except the system may use several work in process inventory accounts manufacturing costs are grouped by department rather than by jobs the system accumulates costs per job the system emphasizes time periods rather than the time it takes to complete a job Explanation: Question 15    Match the following terms (a-e) with their definitions.

Question 1 
 
In a process costing system, each process will have a work in process inventory account.
    
    True
    
    False
Explanation: Process Costing accumulates costs by departments. Hence Process costs have separate WIP Inventory account for each process. In the same way, Job Costing has one WIP Inventory account for each job.
Question 2 
 

Johnson's Plumbing's fixed costs are $700,000 and the unit contribution margin is $17. What amount of units must be sold in order to realize an operating income of $100,000?
    
      5,000
    
    41,176
    
    47,059
    
    58,882
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the Break-Even Point is as under:
(Fixed Costs + Operating Income) / Contribution Margin
= (700000 + 100000) / 17
= 47059 units
Question 3 
 
Edna’s Chocolates had planned to sell chocolate-covered strawberries for $3.00 each. Due to various factors, the actual price was $2.75. Edna’s was able to sell 1,000 more strawberries than the anticipated 4,000. What is (1) the quantity factor and (2) the price factor for sales?
    
    (1) $3,000, (2) $(1,250)
    
    (1) $3,000, (2) $(3,000)
    
    (1) $1,250, (2) $3,000
    
    (1) $(4,000) (2) $(3,000)
Explanation:
Quantity Factor: The formula is as under:
(Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) x Standard Price
= (5000 - 4000) x 3
= $3000
Price Factor:
(AP - SP) x AQ
= (2.75 - 3) x 5000
= $(1250)
Hence the correct option is A.
Question 4 
 
The contribution margin ratio is the same as the profit-volume ratio.
    
    True
    
    False
Explanation: The formula for both the contribution margin and the profit-volume ratio is same. Both of these ratios is used to calculate the ratio of contribution to sales.
Question 5 
 
Department B had 3,000 units in Work in Process that were 25% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 13,700 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 1,700 units were 95% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450, and factory overhead was $18,710.
The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was
    
    16,700
    
    12,000
    
    1,700
    
    13,700
Explanation: Equivalent units = units completed + ending WIP – Opening Inventory
= 15000 + 1700 – 3000
= 13700 units
Question 6 
 
If the costs of direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead were $522,200, $82,700, and $45,300, respectively, for 16,000 equivalent units of production, the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $8.00.
    
    True
    
    False
Explanation: Conversion cost of goods is equal to the sum of direct labor and the factory overhead.
(82700 + 45300) / 16000
= $8.
Question 7 
 
The contribution margin ratio is computed as:
    
    sales divided by contribution margin
    
    contribution margin divided by sales
    
    contribution margin divided by cost of sales
    
    contribution margin divided by variable cost of sales
Explanation: This ratio calculates the percentage of contribution earned by the company for every one dollar of sales generated by the company.
Question 8 
 
Match each business that follows to the type of costing system (a or b) it would typically use.
        
    Home construction
    
    Flour mill
    
    Movie studio
    
    Paper manufacturer
    2
    Gasoline refinery
    
        1.
    Job order costing
    2.
    Process costing
