Question 1: Shaulter Corporation uses a process cost accounting system. Given the following data, compute the number of units transferred out during the current period.

            Beginning Work in Process        12,000 units (1/2 complete)
            Ending Work in Process             15,000 units (1/3 complete)
            Started into Production              80,000 units

        a.    65,000
        b.    75,000
        c.    77,000
        d.    80,000

Question 2: Guerry Company applies overhead on the basis of machine hours. Given the following data, compute overhead applied and the under- or overapplication of overhead for the period:

            Estimated annual overhead cost    $600,000
            Actual annual overhead cost         $575,000
            Estimated machine hours               150,000
            Actual machine hours                    140,000

        a.    $560,000 applied and $15,000 underapplied
        b.    $600,000 applied and $15,000 overapplied
        c.    $560,000 applied and $15,000 overapplied
        d.    $575,000 applied and neither under- nor overapplied

Question 3: The following data has been collected for use in analyzing the behavior of maintenance costs of Ryder Corporation:

Month    Maintenance Costs    Machine Hours

January    $242,000    20,000
February    250,000    23,000
March        256,000    24,000
April          318,000    34,000
May           336,000    36,000
June          356,000    38,000
July           362,000    40,000

Using the high-low method to separate the maintenance costs into their variable and fixed cost components, these components are

        a.    $10 per hour plus $40,000.
        b.    $10 per hour plus $60,000.
        c.    $8 per hour plus $82,000.
        d.    $6 per hour plus $122,000.
