CHAPTER 6 QUIZ AND ASSIGNMENT

An example of a process where all of the materials would be added at the beginning of the
process

 A baker where the wet ingredients for a cake are added one-at-a-time after the dry
ingredients have been thoroughly blended.
 None is correct.
 A bakery where the ingredients for bread are combined and left to rise.
 The second process of a snack factory where snack chips coming from the frying
process are cooled and dried for an hour, then bagged.

In a process cost system, the cost attributable to abnormal losses that occur due to
unexpected circumstances such as machine operator error should be assigned to:

 Cost of goods manufactured and ending work in process inventory in the ratio of units
worked on during the period to units remaining in work in process inventory.
 A separate loss account in order to highlight production inefficiencies
 Ending work in process inventory.
 Cost of good manufactured (transferred out)

What losses should not affect the recorded cost of inventories?

Standard losses
Abnormal losses
Normal losses
Seasonal losses

Which of the following is not an acceptable method for accounting for by-products in a joint
manufacturing process?

The value of by-products is included in an account called “By-products Inventory."


Costs before the split-off point are allocated to by-products.
In some instances, the revenue from selling by-products may be treated as “other income”
on the income statement.
The estimated sales value of the by-product reduces the cost of the main product.

If the amount of loss in a manufacturing process is normal, it should be classified as a:

Joint cost.
Period cost.
Product cost.
Deferred charge.
In a process cost system, how is the unit cost affected in a production cost report when
materials are added in a department subsequent to the first department and the added
materials result in additional units?

It causes a decrease in the preceding department's unit cost that necessitates an


adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost.
It causes an increase in the preceding department's unit cost that necessitates an
adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost.
It causes a decrease in the preceding department's unit cost but does not necessitate an
adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost.
It causes an increase in the preceding department's unit cost but does not necessitate an
adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost.

Normal losses that occur in the manufacturing process are properly classified as:

Product costs.
Period costs.
Deferred charges.
Extraordinary items.

Joint costs are commonly allocated based upon relative:

Prime costs.
Conversion costs.
Marketing costs.
Sales value.

Which of the following is most likely to be accounted for as a by-product?

Cream resulting from processing raw milk at a dairy.


Sawdust resulting from processing lumber at a lumber mill.
Heating oil resulting from processing crude oil at a refinery.
Ground beef resulting from processing beef at a meat packer.

In order to compute equivalent units of production using the FIFO method of process costing,
work for the period must be broken down to units:

Processed during the period and units completed during the period.
Completed from beginning inventory, started and completed during the month, and units
in ending inventory.
Completed during the period and units in ending inventory.
Started during the period and units transferred out during the period

Budde Chemicals produces two industrial chemical compounds, X15 and Z24, from the same
process, which last year cost $600,000. Budde produced 10,000 gallons of X15, which sells
for $40 per gallon and 40,000 gallons of Z24, which sells for $20 per gallon. Using the
relative sales method, how much of the joint cost should be allocated to X15?
$200,000
$150,000
$120,000
$400,000
SOLUTION
product Sales Sales per ULTIMATE PERCENT Assignment of

Assignment of joint costs


X15-> $600,000 X 400,000/ 1,200,000 = 200,000

During June, Birch Bay Company's Department B equivalent unit product costs computed
under the FIFO method were as follows:

Materials $2

CPG Company manufactures chemicals. Chemical agent PL62 is refined in the Refining
department and, after it is transferred to the Mixing department, a reactive agent is added
to it. In January, 6,000 gallons of PL62 having a cost of $30,000 were transferred from the
refining to the Mixing department where 4,000 gallons of the reactive agent were added.

Regina Manufacturing uses the FIFO method of process costing. The production report for
the Curing Department, where the materials are added at the beginning of the period, for
September was as follows:

In process, beginning of the period 3,000 units

Stage of completion 30 %

Transferred to stockroom during period 12,000 units

In process, end of the period 6,000 units

Stage of completion 40 %

The number of units started and completed during the period was:

6,000

Allen Company’s master budget called for 50,000 units of production. Budgeted direct material costs
at this level were $450,000 or $9 per unit. Allen actually produced 54,000 units and incurred direct
material costs of $496,000.

What is Allen’s direct material variance using flexible budgeting?

$10,000 U
$36,000 U
$46,000 U

A summary of Jacob Company’s flexible budget of manufacturing costs follows:

20,000 Units

Direct materials $ 60,000

Direct labor 70,000

Variable factory overhead 30,000

Fixed factory overhead 32,000

Total $192,000

What would the flexible budget of manufacturing costs be at a production volume of 14,000 units?

$144,000
$172,800
$176,000
$192,000

SOLUTION
*FIXED COST IS STILL THE SAME
UNIT VARIABLE COST = [$ 60,000 +70,000 +30,000] / 20,000 UNITS
=160,000/ 20,000 UNITS = $8 VARIABLE UNIT COST

@ 14,000 UNITS
Variable cost = $8 VARIABLE UNIT COST x 14,000 UNITS
= 112,000 + 32,000fixed cost = $144,000

Question 15

Shaw Corporation has developed the following flexible budget formula for annual indirect labor cost:
Total costs = $9,600 + $0.50 per machine hour
Operating budgets for the current month are based upon 30,000 hours of planned machine time.
Indirect labor costs included in this planning budget are:

$15,000.
$2,460.
$24,600.
$15,800.

Solution
Total cost $9,600 / 12 mos 800

Bialy Company had the following information:

Total Sales $120,000

Operating income 12,000

What is the break-even sales revenue?

$72,000
$108,000
$60,000
$100,000
Solution:
Total Sales $120,000

Total variable costs 48,000


Contribution margin 72,000

Operating income 12,000


Fixed cost 60,000

Breakeven sales= 60,000/ [72,000/120,000] = 100,000

Consider the following information for the Dehning Company:

Sales price per unit $ 130

Variable cost per unit 80

Total fixed costs 840,000

What are Dehning's variable costs at the break-even point?

$490,000
$840,000
$588,000
$1,344,000
Solution:
Breakeven units= 840,000/[130-80]=16,800
Variable cost= 16,800 [breakeven units] x $80[variable cost] = $1,344,000
The Blue Saints Band is holding a concert in Toronto. Fixed costs relating to staging a concert are
$350,000. Variable costs per patron are $10.00. The selling price for a tickets $30.00. The Blue Saints

How many tickets does the Blue Saints Band need to sell to break even?

14,000
20,000

Breakeven units= $350,000 / [ $30.00 - $30.00] = 17,500

A company has fixed costs of $700,000. The selling price and variable cost per unit are $50.00, and
$10.00, respectively.

How many units does the company need to sell to achieve net income of $100,000 after income tax,
assuming the income tax rate is 50%?

17,500
2,500
25,000
22,500

Solution
Before Tax= $100,000 after income tax / [ 1- 50% tax rate ] = 200,000
Units of Target Income = [ $700,000 fixed costs + 200,000 Before Tax ] / [$50 - $10] = 22,500

Franklin Company is a medium-sized manufacturer of bicycles. During the year a new line called
"Radical" was made available to Franklin's customers. The break-even point for sales of Radical is
$200,000 with a contribution margin ratio of 40 percent. Assuming that the profit for the Radical line
during the year amounted to $80,000, total sales during the year would have amounted to:

$400,000.
$420,000
$450,000.
$475,000.

Solution:
Breakeven sales= Fixed / CM ratio
$200,000 = fixed / 40%
Fixed =$200,000 x 40%
Fixed = 80,000

Profit $80,000

SOLUTION
MARGIN OF SAFETY RATIO = SALES - BREAKEVEN SALES / SALES
= [ $500,000 -* 266,667 ] / $500,000= 47%

* BREAKEVEN SALES= FIXED / CM RATIO
