1. That statement is true

The main goal of process costing is to  assign the cost of production to a group of homogeneous product rather than putting it individually. This costing process is very effective for similar products on large quantity, but very inefficient if the company produce different variety of products.

2. That statement is true

The cost of production tend to be unique for different product variation. Since we intend to apply costs to similar products that are mass-produced in a continuous fashion, using process cost accounting to products that are not  indistinguishable from another could create a huge error in predicting the total cost of production.

3.  That statement is false

Like stated above, product cost accounting is only effective for companies that produce  indistinguishable products.  Soft drinks, movies, and computer chips are products that are completely different from one another. Using product cost accounting  for these products would be inefficient.

4. That statement is false

In a process cost system, costs are tracked as a whole. For example, let's say you mass produces 708.000 bottles of root beer in a month.  (the amount is too much to be counted individually)

Rather than counting the cost to manufacture the physical bottle individually, process cost systems just use the cost of manufacturing the bottles as a whole.

5. That statement is False

When we manufacture a product, it consists of several elements that make up the whole product.

For example, when producing a bottle of beer, the cost made up of several elements such as the bottle, the fluid, the labels and the cap,

process costing only track cost for one single element. (such as the cost to produce only the bottle)

6. That statement is True

The different between the two of them only on the elements that they are tracking. Job order costing counts all elements of the product. Job order costing on the other hand only count one single element of the product.

7. That statement is true

Regardless of your choice to use either job order costing or process cost system, the materials that used for the productions are completely the same. This mean that that cost would flow through the accounts in the same basic way.

8. That statement is false

You would use several works in process account. But, you need to distinguish the cost of producing each elements of the products separately. Separating such cost would help the management teams to identify the elements that cause the most burden for the company. They need this information so they can find source of materials that can cut down the cost.

9. That statement is false

The job cost sheet consist of several different factors that influence the cost of production, such as  salaries and factory overhead. Process cost system only want to know the cost for one single element of the product, It does not need other information.

10. That statement is true

After adding up all the cost for each elements of the product, this system require you to divde it all to the total units that produced during the period. This would provide the management team with the information regarding the estimated cost of producing one single product. It would help them determining the selling price.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

voluntary contribution  $97150

Explanation:

data provided:

tax rate: 2.3%

reserve ratio- 8-10%

average payroll = $971,500

Assume voluntary contribution ="X "

From the information given in the question we have

\frac{X}{971500} = 10%

here we have taken max reserve ratio  i.e. 10%

"X" = 971500*0.10

       = $97150

we know that, from the question present contribution minus benefit is equal to $93,500

hence, extra contribution = 97150 - 93500 = $3650

extra contribution = $3650

Ugo [173]

Answer:

A. ​doesn't lose any sales when it raises its price

Explanation:

  • As monopoly is ruled by one set of prices and they are price makers thus even f the prices rise the price will be set above the marginal cost to maximize the profits. Thus a monopoly does not lose its market share as it acts as a single dominating factor in the supply and trade of the goods and services. And it stipulates the financial dealing through a single seller.
