Decision-making is an integral part of the planning, directing, and controlling functions.

Manufacturing costs that cannot be classified as direct materials or direct labor are classified as manufacturing overhead.

Both direct labor cost and indirect labor cost are product costs.

Raw materials are equal to direct materials minus indirect materials.

In calculating gross profit for a manufacturing company, the cost of goods manufactured is deducted from net sales.

When the physical association of raw materials with the finished product is too small to trace in terms of cost, they are usually classified as indirect materials.

Many companies have significantly lowered inventory levels and costs using just-in-time inventory methods.

The inventory accounts that show the cost of completed goods on hand and the costs applicable to production that is only partially completed are, respectively

Many companies now focus on reducing defects in finished products with the goal of zero defects. This is called

Given the following data for Harder Company, compute cost of goods manufactured:

Direct materials used $120,000      Beginning work in process $20,000

Manufacturing overhead 180,000   Beginning finished goods 25,000

Operating expenses 175,000          Ending finished goods 15,000

Wood Company has beginning work in process inventory of $138,000 and total manufacturing costs of $477,000. If cost of goods manufactured is $480,000, what is the cost of the ending work in process inventory?

Under a job order system, the company assigns costs to each job, or each batch of goods, to fill a specific customer order or replenish inventory.

Manufacturing costs incurred in a job order system are accumulated by debits to Purchases, Factory Labor, and Manufacturing Overhead.

Each debit to Work in Process Inventory must be accompanied by a corresponding posting to one or more job cost sheets.

Manufacturing overhead costs cannot be traced directly to a specific job

The requisition of factory supplies to production requires a debit to the Manufacturing Overhead account.

Actual overhead costs are debited to the Manufacturing Overhead account.

The entry to record the cost of goods sold includes a debit to Finished Goods Inventory.

A debit balance in the Manufacturing Overhead Account at the end of the period indicates that overhead has been overapplied.

In preparing the costs of goods manufactured schedule in job order costing, manufacturing costs include direct materials used, direct labor used, and manufacturing overhead applied.

A job cost sheet is a form used to record the costs chargeable to a specific job and to determine the total and unit cost of the completed job.

A job order cost sheet includes

companies assign raw materials costs to jobs

in a job order cost system, debits to Work In Process Inventory originate from all of the following except

The predetermined overhead rate is computed by dividing estimated

If annual overhead costs are expected to be $1,000,000 and 200,000 total labor hours are anticipated (80% direct, 20% indirect), the overhead rate based on direct labor hours is
