ABC is felt to give a more useful product cost than classic absorption costing (with overheads absorbed on labour hours) if which of the following two apply? 

A

Labour costs are a relatively minor proportion of total costs 

B

Overheads vary with many different measures of activity 

C

Overheads are difficult to predict 

D

Cost drivers are difficult to identify 

Chapter2aActivitybasedcosting

The correct answers are: 

 Labour costs are a relatively minor proportion of total costs 

 Overheads vary with many different measures of activity 

That overheads are difficult to predict and cost drivers difficult to identify are not reasons to prefer ABC.

Which of the following statements about target costing is not true? 

A

Target costing is better suited to assembly orientated industries than service industries that have a large fixed cost base.  

B

Costs may be reduced in target costing by removing product features that do not add value. 

C

 A target cost gap is the difference between the target cost for a product and its projected cost.

A

Set-up costs 

B

Raw material handling costs 

C

Which two of the following statements about activity based costing are true? 

A

Implementation of ABC is unlikely to be cost effective when variable production costs are a low proportion of total production costs.  

B

 In a system of ABC, for costs that vary with production levels, the most suitable cost driver is likely to be direct labour hours or machine hours. 

C

 Activity based costs are the same as relevant costs for the purpose of short-run decision making. 

D

 Activity based costing is a form of absorption costing.
