Chapter 21
True-false:
The following statements are either true or false. Place a (T) in the parentheses before each true statement and an
(F) before each false statement.
1.
( ) A fixed budget performance report always compares actual costs with budgeted amounts based on the actual
operating level.
2.
( ) The same costs are fixed or variable in all businesses. For example, office supply costs are always variable.
3.
( ) A flexible budget performance report always compares actual costs with budgeted amounts based on the actual
operating level.
4.
( ) Standard costs are determined by averaging historical costs that occurred when the company operated within a
normal operating range.
5.
( ) A variance is favorable if actual cost is below standard cost.
6.
( ) A variance is favorable if actual revenue is below standard revenue.
7.
( ) A company's standard direct material cost for producing 10 units of a product is $200 but the actual direct material
cost was $180. We can safely conclude that the $20 variance must have resulted because the materials price was
lower than standard.
8.
( ) An unfavorable overhead volume variance is caused by the fact that the plant did not reach the operating level that
was expected when the predetermined overhead application rate was selected.
9.
( ) A general journal entry to record a standard material cost in the Goods in Process Inventory account and an
unfavorable material quantity variance would include a debit to Direct Material Quantity Variance.
10. ( ) When variances are recorded in separate accounts, they are closed directly to the Cost of Goods Sold account at the
end of the accounting period only if their balances are immaterial.

Short Problem
Off-Road Cycle Shop has two service departments (advertising and administration) and two operating departments
(cycles and clothing). During 2009, the departments had the following direct expenses and occupied the following
amount of floor space.
Department
Advertising
Direct Expenses

Administrative
18,300

Cycles

The advertising department developed and distributed 100 advertisements during the year. Of these, 72 promoted
cycles and 28 promoted clothing. The store sold $300,000 of merchandise during the year. Of this amount,
$225,000 is from the cycles department, and $75,000 is from the clothing department. The utilities expense of
$63,000 is an indirect expense to all departments. Prepare a departmental expense allocation spreadsheet for OffRoad Cycle Shop. The spreadsheet should assign (1) direct expenses to each of the four departments, (2) the
$63,000 of utilities expense to the four departments on the basis of floor space occupied, (3) the advertising
department's expenses to the two operating departments on the basis of the number of ads placed that promoted a
department's products, and (4) the administrative department's expenses to the two operating departments based
on the amount of sales.
