CH 3 Test 1 Flashcards
True / False
A company that offers customized products would use job order costing.
TRUE
Job order costing is used by companies that offer customized products or services.
True / False
Process costing is used to calculate the cost of homogenous goods or services.
TRUE
Process costing is used by companies that produce homogeneous products or services using a series of standardized processes.
True / False
A major difference between job order costing and process costing is the treatment of nonmanufacturing costs.
FALSE
In both job order costing and process costing, nonmanufacturing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
True / False
A separate Work in Process Inventory account is used in process costing for each major production process.
TRUE
In process costing, there will be a separate Work in Process Inventory account for each of the major processes.
True / False
Process costing does not use a Work in Process Inventory account.
FALSE
In process costing, there will be a separate Work in Process Inventory account for each of the major processes
True / False
Process costing often combines direct materials and direct labor into a single category called conversion costs.
FALSE
In process costing, direct labor and manufacturing overhead are often combined into a single category called conversion costs.
True / False
Conversion costs consist of direct labor as well as manufacturing overhead.
TRUE
In process costing, direct labor and manufacturing overhead are often combined into a single category called conversion costs.
True / False
The three major categories of product costs in process costing are direct materials, conversion costs, and manufacturing overhead.
FALSE
The three major categories of product costs in process costing are direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead, or direct labor and manufacturing overhead can be combined into conversion costs.
True / False
The process costing production report is used to determine how much manufacturing cost to transfer out of Finished Goods Inventory and into Cost of Goods Sold.
FALSE
The process costing report is used to determine how much manufacturing cost to transfer out of Work in Process Inventory and into the next processing department.
True / False
The process costing production report can be prepared using either the weighted-average method or the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
FALSE
The process costing production report can be prepared using either the weighted-average method or the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
True / False
The key difference between a process costing production report prepared using one of the two acceptable methods is how they deal with any units and costs that are in ending Work in Process Inventory.
FALSE
The key difference between a process costing production report prepared using one of the two acceptable methods is how they deal with any units and costs that are in beginning Work in Process Inventory.
True / False
A process costing production report prepared using the weighted-average method is more accurate but generally more costly to prepare than one prepared using the FIFO method.
FALSE
A process costing production report prepared using the weighted-average method is simpler and less costly to prepare. But, a process costing production report prepared using the FIFO method is generally more accurate
True / False
A process costing production report prepared using the weighted-average method is acceptable for external reporting purposes whereas a process costing production report prepared using the FIFO method is not acceptable for external reporting purposes.
FALSE
Either method of preparing a process costing production report is acceptable for external reporting (GAAP).
True / False
The number of beginning units in process plus the number of ending units in process should equal the number of units started plus the number of units completed.
FALSE
The number of beginning units in process plus the number of units started should equal the number of units completed plus the number of ending units in process.
True / False
If 1,800 units were started and there were 200 units in beginning inventory and 400 units in ending inventory, then the number of units completed is 1,600.
TRUE
The number of beginning units in process (200) plus the number of units started (1,800) should equal the number of units completed (1,600) plus the number of ending units in process (400).
True / False
Equivalent units for materials may differ from the equivalent units for conversion costs.
TRUE
Equivalent units may differ for the two categories since their percentage of completion may differ.
True / False
An equivalent unit is a measure used to convert costs incurred in the previous period to costs incurred in the current period
FALSE
An equivalent unit is a measure used to convert partially completed units into the equivalent of a full unit
True / False
Equivalent units are calculated by multiplying the number of physical units by their percentage of completion.
TRUE
This is how equivalent units are calculated.
True / False
Under the weighted-average method, the only partially completed units that need to be addressed are the units in beginning inventory.
FALSE
Under the weighted-average method, the only partially completed units that need to be addressed are the units in ending inventory.
True / False
Computing equivalent units is particularly important for products that take a long time to manufacture, such as airplanes.
TRUE
Computing equivalent units is particularly important for products that take a long time to manufacture, such as wine that must be aged or airplanes.
True / False
Cost per equivalent unit is calculated separately for direct materials and for conversion costs.
TRUE
Because equivalent units are different for direct materials and conversion costs, we must make a separate calculation for each category.
True / False
(Beginning inventory + Current costs)/Equivalent units is the formula to calculate the cost per equivalent unit using the weighted-average method.
TRUE
This is the correct formula for calculating cost per equivalent unit.
True / False
The total cost of Work in Process incurred in one department during the period must be split between costs transferred to the next department and costs transferred to Finished Goods.
FALSE
The total cost of Work in Process incurred during the period must be split between costs transferred to the next department and costs remaining in the current department as Work in Process Inventory.
True / False
To reconcile the total cost of Work in Process Inventory, the costs that were in Work in Process Inventory at the beginning of the period plus any costs that were added during the current period must be accounted for.
TRUE
To reconcile the total cost of Work in Process Inventory, we must account for any costs that were in Work in Process Inventory at the beginning of the period plus any costs that were added during the current period.
