Assemble all the data that are relevant in developing a comprehensive sales plan 10. Digital Tech uses an accounting system that charges costs to the manager who has the authority to make decisions incurring the costs. For example, if a sales manager authorizes a rush order that results in additional manufacturing costs, these additional costs are charged to the sales manager. This type of accounting system is known as a. Functional accounting b. Responsibility accounting c. Contribution accounting d. Transfer-pricing accounting 11. An example of an internal failure cost is a. Rework b. Product recalls c. Maintenance d. Inspection 12. Carr Co. had an unfavorable materials usage variance of $900. What amounts of this variance should be charged to each department? Purchasing Warehousing Manufacturing a. $300 $300 $300 b. $900 $0 $0 c. $0 $0 $900 d. $0 $900 $0 13. In comparing the FIFO (first-in, first-out) and weighted-average methods for calculating equivalent units a. The FIFO method is better than the weighted-average method for judging the performance in a period independently from performance in preceding periods b. The FIFO method tends to smooth costs out more over time than the weightedaverage method c. The two methods will give similar results even if physical inventory levels and the production costs (material and conversion costs) fluctuate greatly from period to period d. The weighted-average method is more precise than the FIFO method because the weighted-average method is based only on the work completed in the current period 14. Presented are Valenz Company's records for the current fiscal year ended November 30: Direct materials used $300,000 Direct labor 100,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 50,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 80,000 Selling and admin. costs-variable 40,000 Selling and admin. costs-fixed 20,000 Using absorption (full) costing, inventoriable costs for Valenz are a. $590,000 b. $530,000 c. $450,000 d. $400,000 15.
