Question
Conversion costs must be incurred uniformly throughout the production process to calculate equivalent units.
Question
Equivalent units are calculated for work in process and finished goods inventory.
Question
In a process costing system, normal spoilage is allocated to good units produced.
Question
In FIFO costing, the costs of units in beginning work in process are merged with current period costs to calculate the cost per equivalent unit.
Question
Conversion costs refer to the cost of direct labor and production overhead.
Question
In calculating the cost per equivalent unit using FIFO costing, the appropriate formula is current period costs / equivalent units for work performed this period.
Question
Process costing is simplified when a company uses just-in-time inventory methods.
Question
Spoilage costs from an unusual natural disaster would be allocated to good units produced in a process costing system.
Question
Managers can calculate costs per equivalent unit using the weighted average or the FIFO method.
Question
When using the weighted average method to calculate cost per equivalent unit, the cost is calculated as current period costs / equivalent units for total work.
Question
Equivalent units measure the resources used in partially completed units relative to the resources needed to complete the units.
Question
Conversion costs may be separated into direct labor and overhead when it is relatively easy to track direct labor and the use of labor occurs in a different pattern than the use of overhead resources.
Question
Managers can only use FIFO process costing if it is reflected in the physical flow of units.
Question
In a process costing system with multiple production departments, costs from the first department's ending work in process are transferred to the second department's finished goods before going into the second department's work in process.
Question
In the weighted average method, cost per equivalent unit is often calculated separately for materials costs and conversion costs.
Question
All spoilage in a process costing system is considered abnormal spoilage.
Question
Process costing information is useful for measuring and monitoring production processes.
Question
In the weighted average method, costs from beginning work in process are averaged with costs incurred during the current period and then allocated to units completed and ending work in process.
Question
In a process costing system, direct materials are added during every production process.
