Explanation / Answer

Answer: 6

False

The use of a predetermined overhead rate in a job-order cost system does not make it possible to compute the total cost of a job before production is begun. Predetermined overhead rate is applied according to some activity base, for example: machine hours, direct labor etc. The actual level of this activity which is used as a basis for predetermined overhead rate can be estimated only when the production is started and completed.

For example:

The predetermined overhead rate is $10 per machine hours and 500 machine hours are used in production. Machine hours is the only activity in production.

The, total cost of the job would be $10*500 = $5000

Answer:7

True.

Answer:8

False.

The cost categories that appear on a job cost sheet include direct material cost, direct labor cost and manufacturing costs.

Answer:9

False

This is not mandatory that indirect materials are charged to specific jobs, they can be related to any job.

Answer:10

In computing its predetermined overhead rate, Brady Company included its factory insurance cost twice. This error will result in the cost of goods manufactured to be overstated.Because factory insurance cost is a part of cost of goods manufactured.
