Question 23

Benefits of Traditional Costing

Answer 23

1. Allocates overhead using a predetermined rate
2. Adopts direct labor hours as the relevant activity base

Question 24

Limitations of Traditional Costing

Answer 24

1. Decrease of Direct Labor usage
2. Complex manufacturing processes may require multiple allocation bases
3. Tremendous change in manufacturing and service industries

Question 25

Benefits of ABC

Answer 25

1. Employs more cost pools, which results in more accurate product costing
2. Better control over overhead costs
3. Allows better management decisions

Are performed each time a company
produces another batch of product

Answer 28

Batch Level Activities

Question 29

Are performed every time a company produces a
new type of product

Answer 29

Product Level Activities

Question 30

Activities performed to sustain or maintain an
entire production process. The costs do not vary as a function of the
number of units, batches or products

Answer 30

Facility Level Activities

Question 31

Direct Labor Hours/Cost

Answer 31

Traditional Costing

Question 32

Are operations that increase perceived value of a company’s
product or service to customers (ex. assembling and machining)

Answer 32

Value Added Activity

Question 33

Only adds cost to a product or service. IF ELIMINATED, they
do not reduce the value of a company’s product or device. (ex. Inspection and Inventory)

Answer 33

Non-Value Added Activity

Question 34

Steps of ABC

Answer 34

1. Identify activity cost pools and allocate cost to pools
2. Identify cost drivers and estimate total usage
3. Compute activity-based overhead rate
4. Assign overhead costs to products based on use of cost drivers

Question 35

Three Important Elements of JIT Processing

Answer 35

1. Dependable Suppliers
2. Multi-skilled Work Force
3. Total Quality Control System

Question 36

Limitations of ABC

Answer 36

1. More expensive than traditional systems
2. More complex than traditional systems
3. Costs may still be allocated
   with incorrect cost drivers,
   where inputs used may
   change over time, or later
   be identified as the
   incorrect inputs

Question 37

A Company has the right
amount of materials, parts, or
products just as they are
needed. The goal is a smooth,
