Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements is true? *
A. The traditional approach to costing uses many different cost drivers.
B. Costs that are indirect to products are by definition traceable to directly to products.
C. Costs that are indirect to products are traceable to some activity.
D. All of the above statements are true.
Please explain the statement below (T/F) thoroughly with examples illustrating the answer.
"To compute a product’s profit or product margin, the product’s sales and direct costs are needed in addition to the overhead costs computed in an activity-based costing system."
Discuss the difference between cost accumulation, tracing and allocation. Since all manufacturing cost are eventually included in the unit cost of a product, what difference does it make? Discuss why the distinction matter in the calculation of CVP or other metrics.
