1) In a company's standard costing system direct labor-hours are used as the base for applying variable manufacturing overhead costs. The standard direct labor rate is twice the variable overhead rate. Last period the labor efficiency variance was unfavorable. From this information one can conclude that last period the variable overhead efficiency variance was: A) favorable and twice the labor efficiency variance. B) unfavorable and twice the labor efficiency variance. C) favorable and half the labor efficiency variance. D) unfavorable and half the labor efficiency variance.

Write “True” if the statement is true and write “False” if the statement is false. 1. Manufacturing overhead combined with direct materials is known as conversion cost.2. A variable cost will change in total in proportion to changes in the level of activity.3. A fixed cost is constant per unit of product.4. Cost accumulation, cost allocation, and cost objects are interrelated.5. A variable cost remains constant per unit, though in total increases as activity levels increase.6. If volume increases, both total variables and total fixed costs will increase.7. Decrease in the level of activity will cause total variable and total fixed costs to decrease.8. When graphed, total variable costs and total fixed costs are both assumed to be linear withinthe relevant range.9. Fixed cost is constant in total amount regardless of changes in activity level within the relevantrange.10. Cost function is an express that mathematically links costs, their behavior, and their cost driver.11. As volume…
