Exam 2
 
TRUE/FALSE. (2 points each) Write ‘True’ if the statement is true and ‘False’ if
 
the statement is false.
 
1) The direct labor rate variance is calculated by multiplying the standard hours that
 
should have been worked for the actual output by the difference between the standard
 
labor rate and the actual labor rate.
 
 
 
2) The sales budget must be prepared after every other component of the operating
 
budget.
 
 
 
3) Standard costs for production inputs are used to develop flexible budgets.
 
 
 
4) If the actual number of units produced is less than the number of units budgeted to
 
produced, then the fixed overhead volume variance will always be unfavorable.
 
 
 
5) Up-to-date standard costs provide a benchmark by which to evaluate actual costs and
 
operations.
 
6) For retailers and service companies without inventory, operating income is different if
 
an absorption income statement or a contribution margin income statement is
 
prepared.
 
 
 
7) If the number of units produced equals the number of units sold for a manufacturer,
 
both variable costing and absorption costing income statements will yield the same
 
gross margin.
 
 
 
8) Under absorption costing, all nonmanufacturing costs are treated as period costs.
 
 
 
9) Both the static budget and the flexible budget used for performance evaluation are
 
developed before the period of actual production.
 
 
 
10) A company’s plan to purchase property, plant, equipment, and other long-term assets

MULTIPLE CHOICE. (2 points each) Circle the one alternative that best
 
completes the statement or answers the question.
