d.      Rp.15.067

e.       Rp. 12.600

 

4.      For Cushy product calculating unit cost with traditional costing is more beneficial compared to using activity-based costing. This statement is:

a.       True, because traditional costing provides lower unit cost.

b.      True, because traditional costing is the correct way to calculate unit cost.

c.       False, because activity-based costing is the only way to calculate unit cost.

d.      False, because activity-based costing provides lower and more accurate unit cost.

e.       Either true or false, because both traditional and activity-based costing are not commonly used in cost accounting.

5.      Calculate the total cost for Fluffy product for the year with the traditional costing using direct labour hour to apply overhead cost:

a.       Rp. 237.600.000

b.      Rp. 151.200.000

c.       Rp. 135.692.800

d.      Rp.241.073.200

6.      Calculate total cost for Fluffy product for the year with activity-based costing.

a.       Rp. 237.600.000

b.      Rp. 151.200.000

c.       Rp. 135.692.800

d.      Rp.241.073.200

e.       Rp. 212.090.400

7.      Which product, Cushy or Fluffy has higher profit per unit?

a.       Cushy by Rp. 1692 when using activity-based costing

b.      Cushy by Rp. 1692 when using traditional costing

c.       Fluffy by Rp. 1692 when using activity-based costing

d.      Fluffy by Rp. 1692 when using traditional costing

e.       None of the options is correct.

8.      The total prime cost of Cushy product are as follows, except:

a.       Rp. 171.600.000

b.      Its direct material plus its direct labour costs.

c.       Its total production cost minus its overhead costs

d.      (Rp. 1.200 + Rp. 14.800) X 13.000.

e.       Higher than the total prime cost of Fluffy product.

9.      Why activity-based costing?

a.       Using plantwide or departmental overhead rate may not result in accurate costing.

b.      Production is about activity

c.       Not every activity will result in cost

d.      Costing is so unpredictable

e.       Costing is an impossible activity to measure.

10.  Ways to apply overhead cost to production cost:

a.       Using plantwide rate, departmental rate and activity-based rate

b.      nnnbudgeted OH, plantwide rate and activity-based rate

c.       Using budgeted OH, direct labour rate and machine hour rate

d.      Using plantwide rate and departmental rate

e.       None of the options are correct.
