A company should use process costing, rather than job order costing, if:

production is only partially completed during the accounting period.
the product is manufactured in batches only as orders are received.
the product is composed of mass-produced homogeneous units.
the product goes through several steps of production.

Which of the following characteristics applies to process costing, but does not apply to job order costing?

The need for averaging.
The use of equivalent units of production.
Separate, identifiable jobs.
The use of predetermined overhead rates.

The cost of beginning inventory under the weighted-average method is:

added in with current period costs in determining costs per equivalent unit for a given period.
gnored in determining the costs per equivalent unit for a given period.
considered separately from costs incurred during the current period.
subtracted from current period costs in determining costs per equivalent unit for a given period.

The Nichols Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company recorded 29,500 equivalent units for conversion costs for November in a particular department. There were 6,000 units in the ending work in process inventory on November 30, 75% complete with respect to conversion costs.
The November 1 work in process inventory consisted of 8,000 units, 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of 25,000 units were completed and transferred out of the department during the month. The number of units started during November in the department was:

24,500 units
23,000 units
27,000 units
21,000 units

Diston Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The first processing department, the Welding Department, started the month with 18,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 30% complete with respect to conversion costs.
The conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory was $44,820. An additional 90,000 units were started into production during the month. There were 21,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Welding Department that were 10% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of $677,970 in conversion costs were incurred in the department during the month. What would be the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month? (Round off to three decimal places. )

$8. 112
$8. 300
 $7. 533
 $6. 108

Sanchez Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Fitting Department is the second department in its production process. The data below summarize the department’s operations in March. The Fitting Department’s cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost for March was $8. 66. How much conversion cost was assigned to the units transferred out of the Fitting Department during March?

$480,630
 $450,320
$444,258
$510,940

Designing a new product is an example of (an):

Unit-level activity.
Batch-level activity.
Product-level activity.
Organization-sustaining activity.

McCaskey Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools: The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs.
