Question | Answer |
Applied Overhead | The dollar amount of overhead assigned to Work in Process inventory using the activity measure that was selected to develop the overhead rate |
Under-applied overhead | Occurs when the overhead applied to Work in Process inventory is less than the actual overhead cost |
Over-applied overhead | Occurs when the overhead applied to Work in Process inventory is more than actual overhead cost |
Theoretical Capacity | The estimated maximum potential activity for a specified time |
Practical Capacity | Reducing theoretical capacity by ongoing, regular operating interruptions (such as holidays, downtime, and start-up time) |
Normal Capacity | Consideration of historical and estimated future production levels and the cyclical fluctuations |
Expected Capacity | A short-run concept that represents the firm's anticipated activity level for the coming period based on projected product demand |
High-low Method | Analyzes a mixed cost by first selecting the highest and lowest levels of activity in a data set if these two points are within the relevant range |
Outliers | Non-representative or abnormal observations |
Flexible budget | A planning document that presents expected variable and fixed costs at different activity levels |
Absorption Costing/ Full Costing | Treats the costs of all manufacturing components (direct material, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead) as inventoriable, or product, costs in accordance with GAAP |
Functional Classification | A group of costs that were incurred for the same principal purpose |
Variable Costing/ Direct Costing | A cost accumulation method that includes only direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead as product costs |
Product Contribution Margin | Sales minus variable cost of goods sold |
Contribution Margin | The difference between total revenues and total variable expenses |
Volume Variance | Reflects the monetary impact of a difference between the budgeted capacity used to determine the predetermined fixed overhead rate and the actual capacity at which the company opperated |
Phantom Profits | Temporary absorption costing profits caused by producing more inventory than is sold |
Least Squares Regression Analysis | A statistical technique that analyzes the relationship between independent (causal) and dependent (effect) variables |
Dependent Variable | Unknown variable |
Independent Variable | Known value |
Simple Regression | Uses one independent variable to predict the dependent variable based on the formula for a straight line: y = a + bX |
Multiple Regression | Two or more independent variables are used to predict the dependent variable |
Regression Line | Any line that goes through the means (or averages) of the independent and dependent variables in a set of observations |
