Cost Accounting Final exam MCQs
?
Pricing for one-time-only special orders is a type of
Fixed cost-based pricing decision
Short-run pricing decision
Long-run pricing decision
Variable cost-based pricing decision
?
Three major influences on pricing decisions are ________.
competition, costs, and customers
competition, demand, and production efficiency
continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and supply
variable costs, fixed costs, and mixed costs
?
For setting long-term prices, a company should ideally use full product costs. Full product costs for pricing purposes typically should
include all direct costs plus an appropriate allocation of the indirect costs of all business functions
include all costs that are traceable to the product
include all manufacturing and administrative costs
allow for the highest possible product prices
?
In summary form, the steps, in sequence, for implementing target pricing and target costing are
Design a product, engineer the product, set target cost and set target price
Set target price, set profit desired, and set target cost
Set target cost, set profit desired, and set target price
Estimate price based on customers’ willingness to pay, derive target cost by subtracting target operating income from estimated price, perform cost analysis and value engineering
?
The cost-plus pricing approach is generally of the form
Cost base + Markup component = Prospective selling price
Prospective selling price - Cost base = Markup component
Cost base + Gross margin = Prospective selling price
Variable cost + Fixed cost + Contribution margin = Prospective selling price

by multiplying the number of units produced by the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead rate
