1. Sarratt Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 77% and its fixed monthly expenses are $46,000. Assume that the company's sales for May are expected to be $105,000. Required: Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.

2. In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is computed by dividing the total overhead cost in the activity cost pool by:

• the total direct labor-hours for the activity cost pool.

• the direct labor-hours required by the product.

• the machine-hours required by the product.

• the total activity for the activity cost pool.

Which of the following is correct? The break-even point occurs on the CVP graph where:

• total contribution margin equals total fixed expenses.

• total profit equals total fixed expenses.

• total profit equals total expenses.

• total variable expenses equal total contribution margin.

Crich Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 21,940 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $530,948. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,850 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $530,948. Overhead at the end of the year was:

• $2,178 overapplied

• $2,178 underapplied

• $2,228 underapplied

• $2,228 overapplied

If manufacturing overhead is underapplied, then:

• the amount of manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process is less than the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred.

• the predetermined overhead rate is too high.

• the Manufacturing Overhead account will have a credit balance at the end of the year.

• actual manufacturing overhead cost is less than estimated manufacturing overhead cost.
