Question 3 is based on the following data. The average cost data are for In-Sync Fixtures Company’s (a retailer) only two product lines, Marblette and Italian Marble. Marblette Italian Marble Purchase volume 20,000 1,000 Purchase cost per unit $50 $50 Shipments received 12 12 Hours used per shipment * 5 3 *These data were accumulated after a careful activity analysis. Currently, In-Sync Fixtures uses a traditional costing system with indirect costs allocated using purchased cost of goods as a basis. In-Sync Fixtures is considering refining the allocation of their receiving costs of $40,000. They realize that the Italian Marble is heavier and requires more care than the Marblette but that the Marblette comes in larger volume. 3. Which statement can be made using the results of the activity analysis performed by In-Sync Fixtures? a. The use of this refined activity-based costing system will increase the accuracy of the resulting product costs because a more appropriate cost driver will be used as the allocation base. b. The traditional allocation method currently being used is causing product-cost cross-subsidization with the product line Marblette being undercosted. c. The cost allocated to the Italian Marble product line under the current traditional system is more than the activity-based costing allocated cost. d. The use of this refined activity-based costing system will increase the accuracy of the resulting product costs because it probably will cost less to trace the costs to the product lines. 4. Advertising of a specific product is an example of a. unit-level costs. b. batch-level costs. c. product-sustaining costs. d. facility-sustaining costs. 5. The allocation of indirect costs in an activity-based costing system a. may require other costs to be allocated to activities before the costs of the activities can be allocated to the products. b. is simplified because more costs are identified as direct costs. c. requires the use of heterogeneous cost pools. d. is simplified because a limited number of activities are identified as cost objects.
