Practice Final Exam for AC 225 Managerial AccountingAnswers will be released on FRIDAY.NOTE: These questions will give you practice on answering questions in the format of the final exam, which has 60 to 70 multiple choice questions. You should not depend on reviewing these specific questions alone to review all of the topics on the Final Exam Review also posted in D2L.Chapter 11. Managerial Accounting and Financial Accounting differ in the following way:Financial Accounting emphasizes forecasts of future performance.Financial Accounting summarizes information for the company as a whole.Financial Accounting is private information for company managersFinancial Accounting emphasizes timeliness over precision.Discussion: Managerial accounting emphasizes providing information about segments and products within a company, rather than the company as a whole. Financial accounting creates financial statements that must present all components under common control. 2. Common users of managerial accounting reports include the following:Operations manager and loan officerChief financial officer and public shareholderPublic shareholder and loan officerChief financial officer and operations managerDiscussion: Managerial accounting is used by company insiders. Loan officers work for a bank. Shareholders are the external owners of a business. 3. The management function of controlling is carried out through the use of A performance report that compares budgeted to actual results.A reconciliation of the beginning and ending retained earnings balances.A schedule of cash collections and cash paymentsA forecast of next period’s production.Discussion: The control function is evaluating the results of company actions. Only A involves both measuring results and comparison to determine whether the results are favorable or unfavorable. 4. Management accounting is used byHuman resource employees who need to plan hiringMarketing employees who make decisions on profit achievable through an advertising campaignAccounting employees who make budget recommendations.All of the above.5. The CMA certification requiresA rigorous professional exam onlyExperience in Financial management only.A rigorous professional exam and experience in financial management only.An accounting degree and a rigorous professional exam and experience in financial management.Discussion: Individuals with any college major can become Certified Management Accountants.6. Guidelines for ethical behavior for management accountants requireManagement accountants maintain professional competence.Management accountants disclose confidential information to competitors.Management accountants eliminate all potential limitations before communicating recommendations.Management accountants ignore conflicts of interest.Discussion: Competence is one ethical value in the Institute of Management Accountants ethical standards. Management accountants maintain confidentiality unless disclosure is required by law. Full disclosure of limitations is required, but no one can eliminate all limitations on recommendations. Management accountants disclose conflicts of interest.7. Institute of Management Accountants supports ethical practices by Staffing an ethics hotline for its membersRepresenting its members in legal casesInvestigating corporate ethical lapsesRequiring members to report unethical conduct to their supervisors.Discussion: The Institute of Management Accountants has an ethical hotline to provide an objective consultation to members.Chapter 21. The wages of factory maintenance personnel would usually be considered to be aDirect labor costManufacturing overhead costAdministrative costSelling costDiscussion: Maintenance is an indirect labor cost, which is a part of manufacturing overhead. 2. Conversion costs includeManufacturing overhead costsDirect material costsSales commission costsAdvertising costsDiscussion: Conversion costs include the product costs of direct labor and manufacturing overhead. 3. Which of the following costs is an example of a period rather than a product cost?Depreciation on production equipmentSalaries of salespersonsWages of production machine operatorsInsurance on production equipmentDiscussion: A, C, and D are product costs; salaries within selling & administrative costs are period costs.4. Last month 10,000 units of a product were manufactured, and the total cost per unit was $60. At this level of production the variable cost is $30 per unit and the fixed cost is $30 per unit. If 10,500 units are manufactured the next month, and the costs remain within the same relevant range,Total variable cost will remain unchanged.Fixed costs will increase in totalVariable cost per unit will increaseTotal cost per unit will decreaseDiscussion: Numerically the unchanging fixed cost is $30 * 10,000 = $300,000. The cost for 10,500 units = 10,500 units * $30 variable cost + fixed cost of $300,000 = $315,000 + $300,000 = $615,000. The total cost per unit is $615,000 / 10,500 units = $58.57. Alternatively, when production increases, fixed costs PER UNIT decrease because the same fixed cost is spread over more units, so total cost per unit will decrease.5. The following costs were incurred in September: Direct materials$39,000Direct labor 23,000Manufacturing overhead 17,000Selling expenses 14,000Administrative expenses 27,000Prime costs during the month totaled$79,000$120,000$62,000$40,000Discussion: Prime costs ae direct labor and direct material costs.6. ABC Corporation sells its product for $195.70 per unit. In 2015 the company had total sales in units of 6,000. The total costs were the following:Variable cost of sales $457,800Fixed cost of sales100,000Variable selling & administrative costs 108,500Fixed selling & administrative costs512,400What is the best estimate of the total contribution margin?$4,600$507,800$607,900$616,400Discussion: Total Contribution Margin = Total Sales – Total Variable Costs; Total Sales = 195.70 * 6000 = 1174200. Total Variable Costs = 457,800 + 108,500 = 566,300. Contribution Margin = 1171200-566300 = 607,9007. Supply costs at ABC Corporation's chain of gyms are listed below: Management believes that supply cost is a mixed cost that depends on client-visits. Using the high-low method to estimate the variable and fixed components of this cost, those estimates would be closest to:?$2.44 per client-visit; $28,623 per month$1.33 per client-visit; $12,768 per month$0.79 per client-visit; $19,321 per month$0.75 per client-visit; $19,826 per monthDiscussion: Client VisitSupply CostHigh: June12,088 visits$28,892Low: August11,193 visits$28,221Difference895 visits$671Variable cost per client visit = 671/895 = $.75per client visitFixed Cost for supplies per month = 28,892-12,088 *.75 = 198268.?Buckeye Company has provided the following data for maintenance cost:20142015Machine hours12,50015,000Maintenance cost$27,000$31,000The best estimate of the cost formula for maintenance would be:?$21,625 per year plus $0.625 per machine hour$7,000 per year plus $0.625 per machine hour$7,000 per year plus $1.60 per machine hour$27,000 per year plus $1.60 per machine hourDiscussion: Difference in Machine hours = 2,500; Difference in Maintenance: $4,000; Maintenance cost per machine hour = $4,000 / 2,500 = 1.60 per machine hour; Fixed Cost of maintenance = 27000 – 1.60*12,500=7,000Use the following information for questions 9 and 10.Chaffee Corporation staffs a helpline to answer questions from customers. The costs of operating the helpline are variable with respect to the number of calls in a month. At a volume of 33,000 calls in a month, the costs of operating the helpline total $742,500. 9. ?To the nearest whole dollar, what should be the total cost of operating the helpline costs at a volume of 34,800 calls in a month? (Assume that this call volume is within the relevant range.)?$742,500$783,000$704,095$762,750Discussion: From the initial data, the cost per call is $742,500/33,000 = $22.48; Therefore the cost at 34,800 calls would be $22.48*34,800=78472?10.?To the nearest whole cent, what should be the average cost of operating the helpline per call at a volume of 36,100 calls in a month? (Assume that this call volume is within the relevant range.)?$21.54$20.57$21.34$22.50Discussion: See above.Chapter 31. In computing its predetermined overhead rate, Marple Company inadvertently left its indirect labor costs out of the computation. This oversight will cause:?Manufacturing Overhead to be overapplied.The Cost of Goods Manufactured to be understated.The debits to the Manufacturing Overhead account to be understated.The ending balance in Work in Process to be overstated.Discussion: If indirect labor is omitted from the predetermined overhead rate, then the predetermined overhead rate is too low. (C) is correct because Cost of Goods Manufactured is increased by the amount of overhead applied. So if overhead applied is too low, then Cost of Goods Manufactured would be too low. (A) would be true if the predetermined overhead rate were too high. (D) could be true if predetermined overhead rate were too high. (C) refers to the increases in Manufacturing Overhead when overhead is incurred. It decreases as it is applied to jobs based on the predetermined overhead rate, so it is the credits to Manufacturing Overhead that could be effected by this error. 2. ?In a job-order costing system, the use of direct materials that have been previously purchased is recorded as a debit to:?Raw Materials inventory. Finished Goods inventory. Work in Process inventory.Manufacturing Overhead.Discussion: A debit increases an asset account. When direct materials are used Raw Materials inventory decreases and Work in Process increases.3. In a job-order costing system, indirect materials that have been previously purchased and that are used in production are recorded as a debit to:?Work in Process inventory.Manufacturing Overhead.Finished Goods inventory.Raw Materials inventory.Discussion: Indirect materials increase manufacturing overhead and decrease Raw Materials Inventory.4.Overapplied manufacturing overhead occurs when:?applied overhead exceeds actual overhead.applied overhead exceeds estimated overhead.actual overhead exceeds estimated overhead.budgeted overhead exceeds actual overheadDiscussion: While estimated overhead or budgeted overhead is used to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate, overhead is then applied based on the actual direct labor hours (or machine hours etc.). So if the overhead applied is more than the actual overhead incurred, then overhead is overapplied.5. Wert Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last year, the company's estimated manufacturing overhead was $1,200,000 and its estimated level of activity was 50,000 direct labor-hours. The company's direct labor wage rate is $12 per hour. Actual manufacturing overhead amounted to $1,240,000, with actual direct labor cost of $650,000. For the year, manufacturing overhead was:?overapplied by $60,000underapplied by $60,000overapplied by $40,000underapplied by $44,000Discussion: The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $1,200,000 in overhead over direct labor cost of 50,000 direct labor hours * $12 per hour: 1,200,000 / (12*50,000)=1200000/600,000=2.So the manufacturing overhead applied would have been 650,000*2=$1,300,000. However the actual overhead is $1,240,000. $1,300,000- $1,240,000=$60,000 overapplied6. Hayne Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. Data for the most recently completed year appear below:?? The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:?$7.89$30.95$24.52$32.41Discussion: predetermined overhead rate = estimated total overhead / estimated machine hours = $465,880 / 19,000 = 24.527. The following data have been recorded for recently completed Job 674 on its job cost sheet. Direct materials cost was $2,039. A total of 32 direct labor-hours and 175 machine-hours were worked on the job. The direct labor wage rate is $14 per labor-hour. The company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $15 per machine-hour. The total cost for the job on its job cost sheet would be:?$2,967$2,487$2,068$5,112Discussion: Total Job Cost = 2,039 + 32*14+15*175=2039+448+2625=5,1128. Hults Corporation has provided data concerning the company's Manufacturing Overhead account for the month of November. Prior to the closing of the overapplied or underapplied balance to Cost of Goods Sold, the total of the debits to the Manufacturing Overhead account was $75,000 and the total of the credits to the account was $57,000. Which of the following statements is true??Manufacturing overhead transferred from Finished Goods to Cost of Goods Sold during the month was $75,000.Actual manufacturing overhead incurred during the month was $57,000.Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process for the month was $75,000.Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $18,000.Discussion: The $75,000 is the actual amount of manufacturing incurred; $57,000 is the amount of overhead applied. The difference between these two is the amount of overhead that is UNDERapplied, since actual overhead is less than overhead applied by $75,000-$57,000=$18,000 9. Wedd Corporation had $35,000 of raw materials on hand on May 1. During the month, the company purchased an additional $68,000 of raw materials. During May, $92,000 of raw materials were requisitioned from the storeroom for use in production. These raw materials included both direct and indirect materials. The indirect materials totaled $5,000. The debits to the Work in Process account as a consequence of the raw materials transactions in May total:?$92,000$0$68,000$87,000Discussion: The decrease to Raw Materials Inventory is $92,000. This is made up of both direct materials and indirect materials. Since indirect materials are $5,000, then direct materials, which would be a debit to Work in Process, is 92,000-5,000=87,000.10. ?Lietz Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for January:??The company's Cost of Goods Sold was $369,000 prior to closing out its Manufacturing Overhead account. The company closes out its Manufacturing Overhead account to Cost of Goods Sold. Which of the following statements is true??Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $23,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $392,000Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $23,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $346,000Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $23,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $346,000Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $23,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $392,000Discussion: If Manufacturing overhead is underapplied, then Cost of Goods Sold is too low and will increase; If Manufacturing overhead is overapplied, then Cost of Goods Sold is too high and will decrease. This is a case in which manufacturing overhead is overapplied.Chapter 51. The break-even point in unit sales is found by dividing total fixed expenses by:?the contribution margin ratio.the variable expenses per unit.the sales price per unit.the contribution margin per unit.Discussion: breakeven point in units = fixed expenses/ contribution margin per unit. If one is computing breakeven point in dollars of sales = fixed expenses / contribution margin RATIO.2. The break-even point in unit sales increases when variable expenses:?increase and the selling price remains unchanged.decrease and the selling price remains unchanged.decrease and the selling price increases.remain unchanged and the selling price increases.Discussion: Since breakeven in sales = fixed expenses / contribution margin ratio breakeven in sales increases when the contribution margin gets smaller. Contribution margin gets smaller when variable expenses increase and the selling price is the same or smaller. Selections B, C, and D increase the contribution margin ratio.3. The amount by which a company's sales can decline before losses are incurred is called the:?contribution margin.degree of operating leverage.margin of safety.contribution margin ratio.Discussion: Definition.4. ?The degree of operating leverage can be calculated as:?contribution margin divided by sales.gross margin divided by net operating operating income divided by sales.contribution margin divided by net operating income.Discussion: Definition5. Mancuso Corporation has provided its contribution format income statement for January. The company produces and sells a single product.?? If the company sells 3,100 units, its total contribution margin should be closest to:?$27,045$181,000$162,400$173,600Discussion: Contribution Margin per unit = 162,400/2900 = 56. So if there are 3100 units sold, then contribution margin = 3100 * 56=173,6006.?Rothe Company manufactures and sells a single product that it sells for $90 per unit and has a contribution margin ratio of 35%. The company's fixed expenses are $46,800. If Rothe desires a monthly target net operating income equal to 15% of sales, the amount of sales in units will have to be (rounded):?1,486 units3,467 units1,040 units2,600 unitsDiscussion: The equations set up from this problem are the following: Net Operating income = contribution margin – fixed expensesNet Operating Income = 35%*90*sales in units – Operating Income = 15% * 90* sales in unitsSo setting these equal and solving35%*90*sales in units -46800=15%*90*sales in units31.5 sales in units – 46800=13.5*sales in units18 sales in units = 46800Sales in units = 26007.Darth Company sells three products. Sales and contribution margin ratios for the three products follow:??Given these data, the contribution margin ratio for the company as a whole would be:?25%75%33.3%it is impossible to determine from the data given.Discussion: Contribution margin for company as a whole = Total Contribution Margin / Total SalesTotal Contribution Margin = .45 * 20000 + .4 * 40000 + .15 * 100000 = 9000+16000+15000=40000Total Sales = 20000+40000+100000=160000Overall contribution margin ratio = 40000/160000=25%8.?Pool Company's variable expenses are 36% of sales. Pool is contemplating an advertising campaign that will cost $20,000. If sales increase by $80,000, the company's net operating income should increase by:?$28,800$64,000$8,800$31,200Discussion: Incremental income= incremental contribution margin-incremental fixed expensesIncremental contribution margin = (1-.36) * 80000=.64*80000= 51200Incremental fixed cost = 20,000Incremental income = 51200-20000=312009. Olis Corporation sells a product for $130 per unit. The product's current sales are 28,900 units and its break-even sales are 25,721 units. What is the margin of safety in dollars??$413,270$3,343,730$2,504,667$3,757,000Discussion: Margin of Safety (in dollars) = sales above breakeven = (28,900-25,721)*$130=$413,27010. Balbuena Corporation produces and sells two products. Data concerning those products for the most recent month appear below:?? The fixed expenses of the entire company were $15,630. If the sales mix were to shift toward Product K87W with total sales dollars remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company:?would not change.would increase.would decrease.could increase or decreaseDiscussion:Which product is more profitable? Product K87W has a contribution margin ratio of (17000-7650)/17000= 55%; Product I57P has a contribution margin ration of (19000-9270)/19000=49%. So if the company has a sales mix shift toward K87W it is toward the higher profit margin product and the company will have a lower breakeven point.Chapter 61. Routsong Company had the following sales and production data for the past four years:??Selling price per unit, variable cost per unit, and total fixed cost are the same in each year. Which of the following statements is not correct??A.?Under variable costing, net operating income for Year 1 and Year 2 would be the same.B.?Because of the changes in production levels, under variable costing the unit product cost will change each year.C.?The total net operating income for all four years combined would be the same under variable and absorption costing.D.?Under absorption costing, net operating income in Year 4 would be less than the net operating income in Year 2.Discussion: (A) is true because there will be the same contribution margin due to the same amount of sales and variable costing includes the fixed costs incurred during the year, which is assumed to be the same in this question. (B) is false because variable costs per unit don’t change with the amount of production. (C) is true because over the four year period the number of units sold is equal to the number of units produced, so there is no deferred manufacturing overhead costs in ending inventory to differentiate variable and absorption costing income values. (D) is true because even though there are fewer sales in year 2 than in year 4, in year 2 there is much more production and 1/3 of the fixed manufacturing overhead would be deferred. This deferred overhead would be recognized in part in Year 3 and in part in Year 4, making Year 4 income lower.2.?Fixed manufacturing overhead is included in product costs under:A.?Both Absorption costing and Variable costingB Only Absorption costingC.?Only Variable costingD.?Neither Absorption costing nor variable costingDiscussion: Only Absorption costing includes fixed manufacturing overhead as a product cost., meaning that it is part of the value of inventory. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing costs are deducted as a period cost in the period in which it is incurred.3.?Net operating income reported under absorption costing will exceed net operating income reported under variable costing for a given period if:?A.?production equals sales for that period.B.?production exceeds sales for that period.C.?sales exceed production for that period.D.?the variable manufacturing overhead exceeds the fixed manufacturing overhead.Discussion: When production is higher than sales, there is an increase in inventory and some of the fixed manufacturing is in the value of that inventory. Thus a variable costing income will have more expenses than absorption costing will have.4.?In an income statement segmented by product line, a fixed expense that cannot be allocated among product lines on a cause-and-effect basis should be:A.?classified as a traceable fixed expense and not allocated.B.?allocated to the product lines on the basis of sales dollars.C.?allocated to the product lines on the basis of segment margin.D.?classified as a common fixed expense and not allocated.Discussion: Fixed Expenses are classified as either traceable to a segment or common to the company as a whole. Traceable fixed expenses are deducted from segment revenues and variable expenses to calculate segment margin. Common fixed expenses are not allocated, but deducted from company income as a whole.5.?All other things equal, if a division's traceable fixed expenses decrease:?A.?the division's segment margin will increase.B.?the overall company net operating income will decrease.C.?the division's contribution margin will increase.D.?the division's sales volume will increase.Discussion: Traceable fixed expenses are deducted from segment Revenues less Variable expenses. When fixed expenses are smaller, then there is more leftover in segment margin. It does not affect sales. It is deducted after contribution margin is calculated. It affects only the segment, and there are other factors that may affect the overall company.6.?Olds Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operations:??There were no beginning or ending inventories. The absorption costing unit product cost was:?A.?$97B.?$130C.?$99D.?$207Discussion: The absorption cost includes both the variable product costs of $99 from the direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead as well as the allocation of fixed manufacturing overhead of 31000/1000 = $31 per unit for a total of $130.7.?Cockriel Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operations:??There were no beginning or ending inventories. The variable costing unit product cost was:A.?$42B.?$43C.?$37D.?$48Discussion: Variable costing of the product includes only the Direct materials, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead costs of $14 + $22 + $1 = $37. Selling and administrative expenses are not product costs. Fixed costs are not considered product costs in Variable Costing.8.?Craft Company produces a single product. Last year, the company had a net operating income of $80,000 using absorption costing and $74,500 using variable costing. The fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $5 per unit. There were no beginning inventories. If 21,500 units were produced last year, then sales last year were:A.?16,000 unitsB.?20,400 unitsC.?22,600 unitsD.?27,000 unitsDiscussion: The difference in the income between absorption and variable costing = $80,000-$74,500 = $5,500. This $5,500 is the deferred fixed manufacturing overhead that is deducted in variable costing, but not in fixed costing. If fixed manufacturing overhead is $5 per unit, then the $5,500 represents $5,500/$5 = 1,100 units in ending inventory. If 21,500 were produced and 1,100 are in ending inventory and there was no beginning inventory, then sales are 21,500+0-1100=20,400 units.9.?Moore Company produces a single product. During last year, Moore's variable production costs totaled $10,000 and its fixed manufacturing overhead costs totaled $6,800. The company produced 5,000 units during the year and sold 4,600 units. There were no units in the beginning inventory. Which of the following statements is true?A.?The net operating income under absorption costing for the year will be $800 higher than net operating income under variable costing.B.?The net operating income under absorption costing for the year will be $544 higher than net operating income under variable costing.C.?The net operating income under absorption costing for the year will be $544 lower than net operating income under variable costing.D.?The net operating income under absorption costing for the year will be $800 lower than net operating income under variable costing.Discussion: The difference in income is the amount of deferred fixed manufacturing overhead. The ending inventory of 5,000-4,600=400 units were allocated fixed overhead of 6800/5000 = 1.36 for a total of 400 * 1.36=544. This amount is still part of ending inventory and is not deducted in an absorption costing income statement. So net operating income under absorption is lower under variable costing than under absorption costing when production is greater than sales.10.?Sugiki Corporation has two divisions: the Alpha Division and the Delta Division. The Alpha Division has sales of $820,000, variable expenses of $369,000, and traceable fixed expenses of $347,300. The Delta Division has sales of $460,000, variable expenses of $294,400, and traceable fixed expenses of $134,100. The total amount of common fixed expenses not traceable to the individual divisions is $97,300. What is the company's net operating income?A.?$135,200B.?$37,900C.?$616,600D.?$519,300Discussion: Net Operating income is calculated as the sum of all of the segment margins less common fixed expenses. The segment margin for Alpha = 820000-369000-347300=103700. The segment margin for Delta = 460000-294400-134100=31,500. Net Operating income = 103700 + 31,500-97,300=37,900.Chapter 7Which of the following activities would be classified as a batch-level activity?A. Setting up equipment.B. Designing a new product.C.?Training employees.D.?Milling a part required for the final product.Discussion: A batch level activity occurs for each time the company produces an order or a group of a particular kind of product, such as equipment set up.Which of the following is not a limitation of activity-based costing?Maintaining an activity-based costing system is more costly than maintaining a traditional direct labor-based costing system.Changing from a traditional direct labor-based costing system to an activity-based costing system changes product margins and other key performance indicators used by managers. Such changes are often resisted by managers.In practice, most managers insist on fully allocating all costs to products, customers, and other costing objects in an activity-based costing system. This results in overstated costsMore accurate product costs may result in increasing the selling prices of some products.Discussion: (D) is an advantage and not a limitation of activity-based costing. If the company has been underpricing a product and thus losing money on each sale of the product, activity-based costing may identify that product so that it can become profitable for the company.Designing a new product is an example of (an):Unit-level activityBatch-level activityProduct-level activityOrganization-sustaining activity.Discussion: Designing a new product is a product-level activity because it occurs once for each type of product.Property taxes are an example of a cost that would be considered to be:A. Unit-level.B.?Batch-level.C.?Product-level.D.?Organization-sustaining.Discussion: Property taxes are typically assessed at the level of the organization and occurs on an ongoing basis as a period cost. This describes an organization-sustaining cost.McKenrick Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools.
