1
INCORRECT
The direct method of service department cost allocation may be described as a method of service department cost allocation in
which service department costs are allocated directly to the production departments.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 01
The direct method of service department cost allocation is a method of service department cost allocation in which
service department costs are allocated directly to the production departments.
2
INCORRECT
The dual cost allocation method of allocating service department costs is described as a method of service department cost
allocation in which service department costs are allocated first to service departments and then to production departments.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 01
The step-down method of allocation service department cost is a method of service department cost allocation in
which service department costs are allocated first to service departments and then to production departments.
3 CORRECT
The dual cost allocation method of allocating service department costs is described as an allocation approach that allocates
variable costs in proportion to short-run usage and allocates fixed costs in proportion to long-run usage.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 02
Under dual-cost allocation, variable costs are allocated on the basis of short-run usage of the service departments
output; fixed costs are allocated on the basis of long-run usage of the service departments output.
4
INCORRECT
Under dual cost allocation, the managers of using departments might tend to understate their expected long-run service needs
from the providing department(s).
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 02
This is a major behavioral problem with dual cost allocation, since typically, the estimates of the long-run service
needs are generated by the managers of the using departments.
5 CORRECT
One advantage of changing from a traditional-costing system to an activity-based-costing (ABC) system is that activity costs
are assigned to activity cost pools rather than to service departments.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 03
Such assignment of costs is an advantageABC systems provide a breakdown of costs that is much finer than a
breakdown by departments. This provides a much more accurate cost for each of the organization's products or
services.
6 CORRECT

production process.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 04
A joint production process results in two or more joint products.
7
INCORRECT
The split-off point is where the joint products become separate and identifiable products in a joint production process.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 05
The split-off point occurs when the joint products become separate, identifiable products in a joint production process.

8 CORRECT
The dairy industry's milk production can result in the production of several joint products.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 04
A joint product is the output of a joint production process. Processing milk can result in whole milk, skim milk, cream,
cheese, or other milk-based products.
9
INCORRECT
The relative-sales-value method of joint cost allocation is based on the relative sales value of each joint product at the split-off
point, but the net-realizable-value method of joint cost allocation is based, in part, on any separable costs incurred after the
split-off point.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 05
The relative-sales-value method uses the relative sales value of each joint product at the split-off point to allocate joint
costs. The net-realizable-value method requires subtracting separable costs after the split-off point from the final sales
price to determine the relative value for allocating joint costs.
10
CORRECT
The sawdust, bark, and wood chips that result from processing pine logs might be considered by-products.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback:
LO 05
While there is a market for these products (especially in light of the impact of environmental controls on burning
waste products), if their values (sales prices) are relatively low to the value of other joint products, they would be
considered by-products.
11
INCORRECT
Which of the following is a service department?
A) Human Resources Department
B) Accounting Department
C) Maintenance Department
D) Administrative Department
E) All of the above
Feedback:

departments?
A) Direct method.
B) Dual cost method.
C) Reciprocal-services method.

E) None of the above
Feedback:
LO 01
The direct method of service department cost allocation is described as a method of service department cost allocation
in which service department costs are allocated directly to production departments.
13

Use the direct method of service department cost allocation and determine the amount of the service department costs that
will be charged to the Furniture Department.
A) $ 62,150
B) $ 30,400
C) $141,250
D) $75,500
E) $ 45,100
Feedback:
LO 01
Power cost per kilowatt-hour is $3.80 (= $72,200/(5,000 + 8,000 + 6,000)). Maintenance cost per work order is $150
(= $45,000/(100 + 150 + 50)). Personnel cost per employee is $370 (= $24,050/(30 + 25 + 10)). Service department
costs allocated to the Furniture Department is $45,100 (= (5,000 x $3.80) + (100 x $150) + (30 x $370)).

INCORRECT
The method of service department cost allocation in which service department costs are allocated first to service departments
and then to production departments is called the
A) Direct method.
B) Dual cost method.
C) Reciprocal-services method.
D) Step-down method.
E) None of the above
Feedback:
LO 01
The step-down method of service department cost allocation can be described as a method of service department cost
allocation in which service department costs are allocated first to service departments and then to production
departments.
15
CORRECT
Consider the following:
Power Department costs are $26,000. Maintenance Department costs are $30,000. Personnel Department costs are $4,000.
The Personnel Department provides services to all departments. Use the step-down method of service department cost
allocation and determine the mount of service department costs (Personnel, Power, and Maintenance) will be charged to the
Furniture Department.
A) $41,210
B) $31,710
C) $18,790
D) $28,290
E) $50,500
Feedback:
LO 01
Personnel cost per employee: $4,000/(30 + 10 + 6 + 4) = $80. Power cost per KW hour: [($26,000 + (6 x
$80)]/(5,180 + 8,060) = $2.00. Maintenance cost per work order: [$30,000 + (4 x $80)]/(100 + 60) = $189.50.

E)
None of the above
Feedback:
LO 02
The reciprocal-services method of department cost allocation is a more accurate method of department cost allocation
since it takes into account the mutual provision of reciprocal services, and their costs, between service departments.
While the step-down method allocates costs to some service departments, it ignores reciprocal services between
service departments.
19

B) Step-down method.
C) Reciprocal-service method.
D) Dual cost allocation approach.

variable costs, works with either the direct method or the step-down method of service department cost allocation.
20
CORRECT
When budgeted service department costs are allocated to production departments (much like the allocation of manufacturing
overhead to the Work in Process account), any variance between allocated budgeted costs and actual costs is called a variance.
Which is the correct way to dispose of this variance?
A) Allocate it among the production departments on some basis.
B) Close it to the Cost of Goods Sold account.
C) Close it against the period's income.
D) Close it to the Work-in-Process account.
E) Allocate between the Work-in-Process account and the Finished Goods account.
Feedback:
LO 02
Variances between allocated budgeted service department costs and actual service department costs are closed to the
period's income. Keeping a record of the variances for analysis of the causes of the variances helps control costs.
21
INCORRECT
Which of the following statements is true?
A) Under the two-stage allocation of department overhead, departments play a key role as intermediate cost objects.
B) Under an ABC approach to department overhead, activities play a key role as intermediate cost objects.
C) The breakdown of costs by activity in an ABC system is much finer than a breakdown by departments.
D) All of the above are true.
E) Only (A) and (B) are true.
Feedback:
LO 03
The breakdown of costs by activity in an ABC system generally will provide a much more accurate cost for each of the
organizations products or services.
22
INCORRECT
Which of the following statements is true?

D) The separable cost of processing is the cost of converting a raw material into joint products.
E) Both (A) and (C) are true
Feedback:

become separately identifiable in called the split-off point. Joint cost is the cost of the input and the joint production
process. The separable cost of processing is the cost that occurs when additional production activity and cost is added
to the joint product after the point of split-off.
