1) the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance and the fixed manufacturing
overhead volume variance taken together explain the difference between the actual
fixed manufacturing overhead cost incurred and the fixed manufacturing overhead cost
applied to production.
2) the present value of a cash flow decreases as it moves further into the future.
3) a favorable materials quantity variance would appear as a debit in a journal entry.
4) efforts designed to increase the rate of output should generally be applied to
non-constraint work stations.
5) if the denominator activity used to compute the predetermined overhead rate is equal
to the standard activity allowed for the actual output of the period, then there is no
volume variance.
6) for performance evaluation purposes, actual service department costs instead of
budgeted service department costs should be allocated to operating departments.
7) the beginning cash balance is not included on the cash budget because the cash
budget deals exclusively with cash flows rather than with balance sheet amounts.
8) in a process costing system, overhead is allocated to departments before being
applied to units of product.
9) in a manufacturing firm, all costs are product costs.
10) an action analysis report reconciles activity-based costing product costs with
traditional product costs based on direct labor.
11) net operating income is not affected by changes in production when absorption
costing is used.
12) when completed goods are sold, the transaction is recorded as a debit to cost of
goods sold and a credit to work in process.
13) the step-down method requires that an order of allocation is established before
service department costs can be allocated to operating departments.
14) unit-level production activities are performed each time a unit is made.
15) lorello manufacturing corporation has a traditional costing system in which it
applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate

the company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $1,248,600 and
the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 30,000.

unit product costs for external reports. data for this proposed activity-based costing
system appear below:
required:
a. determine the manufacturing overhead cost per unit of each of the company's two
products under the traditional costing system.
b. determine the manufacturing overhead cost per unit of each of the company's two
products under activity-based costing system.
