Costs are allocated to cost objects in many ways and for many reasons. Which one of the following is a purpose of cost allocation?

  1. Evaluating revenue center performance.
  2. Measuring income and assets for external reporting.
  3. Budgeting cash and controlling expenditures.
  4. Aiding in variable costing for internal reporting.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Cost allocation is the process of assigning and reassigning costs to cost objects. It is used for those costs that cannot be directly associated with a specific cost object. Cost allocation is often used for purposes of measuring income and assets for external reporting purposes. Cost allocation is less meaningful for internal purposes because responsibility accounting systems emphasize controllability', a process often ignored in cost allocation.

When a firm prepares financial reports by using absorption costing,

  1. Profits will always increase with increases in sales.
  2. Profits will always decrease with decreases in sales.
  3. Profits may decrease with increased sales even if there is no change in selling prices and costs.
  4. Decreased output and constant sales result in increased profits.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In an absorption costing system, fixed overhead costs are included in inventory When sales exceed production, more overhead is expensed under absorption costing due to fixed overhead carried over from the prior inventory. If sales increase over production, more than one period's overhead is recognized as expense. Accordingly, if the increase in overhead expensed is greater than the contribution margin of the increased units sold, profit may be lower with an increased level of sales.

The study package is helpful in passing your exam since the practice questions are copied from real exam. But in order to learn the modules in details you need books.
