18. Purchasing costs are allocated based on parts used, and I.T. costs are allocated based on the number of transactions. Total IT costs to be allocated is expressed by which of the following equations:
a) IT = 212,000 + 2/9 P
b) IT = 212,000 + 9/59 P
c) IT = 212,000 + 4/67 P
d) IT = 212,000 + 9/50 P
j) None of the above
19.
The total service department costs allocated to the manufacturing departments will be:
a)
Higher using the direct method of allocation
b)
Higher using the step down method of allocation
c)
Higher
Furthermore, according to the 2016 Annual Report, Woolworths’ cost of inventories is determined on a weighted average basis. The weighted average method is perceived to assume that items are of similar nature (Carlon et al. 2016). This method would lead to identical goods being allocated to the same price using the weighted average unit cost, which can then be applied to calculate the cost of ending inventory (Carlon et al. 2016). For this particular case, Woolworths Limited, as a commercial entity, regards the cost of inventory to be difficult to measure due to the high turnover rates and accessibility costs of different products.
14. If 11,000 units are produced, what are the total amounts of direct and indirect manufacturing costs incurred to support this level of production?
In April of 1979, a U.S. court finds the Beatle 's former manager _________ guilty of tax evasion and he is sentenced to serve two months of a two-year sentence in prison.
The lowest amount the firm should accept for the contract is $2,585,000. This is the total of all of the relevant costs for the project.
3. Briefly describe how the current production cost assignment system works. What are the consumption ratios (activity percentages) for assigning manufacturing overhead to each product at present?
Under an ABC system, the allocation of costs to products is achieved through at least four analytical steps. Firstly, costs are grouped into activity levels. Secondly, cost drivers are
| General Manufacturing expects to have 40,000 pounds of raw materials inventory on hand on June 30, the end of the current year. The company has budgeted the following production for the first four months of the coming year:
B ) A theory is an integrated explanation of numerous hypotheses, each supported by a large body of observations and experiments.
uses budgeted fleet hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company 's manufacturing overhead data:
b. Use your answer to part A to determine the total annual indirect cost assigned to:
12. Using the average cost method of process costing, the computation of manufacturing cost per equivalent
10. Data concerning three of the activity cost pools of Bramhall LLC, a legal firm, have been provided below:

Accounting to determine which items or jobs are generating the most net income can be extremely important to financial managers in today’s economy. Managers must determine which products are making performing the best so that they can capitalize on profits. This also helps to know when it should cut its losses. There are three very useful methods of identifying costs associated to a particular item which are job order costing, activity based costing (ABC), process costing. Job order costing isolates costs to a particular job. ABC compares multiple items which are manufactured. Process costing assesses items which are massed produced and provides analysis to the cost through the various stages from beginning to completion. This essay will explain each of these methods and then provide examples for each of them.
Procedure costing is the main sensible methodology to deciding item costs in numerous commercial enterprises. It utilizes the greater part of the same diary entrances found in an occupation costing environment, so there is no compelling reason to rebuild the diagram of records to any huge degree.
