True/False Questions

1. If a manufacturing company is using activity-based costing for internal purposes only, then organization-sustaining overhead costs should not be allocated to any of the products.

2. Batch-level activities are performed each time a batch of goods is handled or processed.

3. Organization-sustaining activities are carried out regardless of how many units are made, how many batches are run, or how many different products are made.

4. Direct labor-hours or direct labor cost should not be used as a measure of activity in an activity-based costing system.

5. Activity-based costing is a costing method that is designed to provide managers with cost information for strategic and other decisions that potentially affect capacity and therefore "fixed" costs.

6. Activity-based costing is a costing method that is designed to provide managers with cost information for strategic and other decisions that potentially affect only variable costs.

7. A duration driver provides a measure of the amount of time required to perform an activity.

8. In general, transaction drivers are more accurate measures of the consumption of resources than duration drivers.

9. The costs of idle capacity should not be assigned to products in activity-based costing.

10. In traditional costing systems, all manufacturing costs are assigned to products--even manufacturing costs that are not caused by the products.

11. Activity-based costing involves a two-stage allocation in which overhead costs are first assigned to departments and then to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours.

12. In activity-based costing, some costs may be broken down and assigned to two activity cost pools. For example, part of a supervisor's salary may be classified as a product-level activity and part of it may be classified as a batch-level activity.

13. Activity rates in activity-based costing are computed by dividing costs from the first-stage allocations by the activity measure for each activity cost pool.

14. In the second-stage allocation in activity-based costing, activity rates are used to apply costs to products, customers, and other cost objects.

15. When a company shifts from a traditional cost system in which manufacturing overhead is applied based on direct labor-hours to an activity-based costing system in which there are batch-level and product-level costs, the unit product costs of high volume products typically decrease whereas the unit product costs of low volume products typically increase.
