  • 2. 

    Rework labor time is considered an overhead cost and not a direct labor cost. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Rework labor time is considered an overhead cost because it involves additional time and resources that are not directly related to the production of a product or service. It is an indirect cost that is incurred due to errors or defects in the initial production process. This cost includes the time spent on identifying and fixing the issues, as well as any additional materials or resources required. Therefore, it is not considered a direct labor cost, which refers to the wages or salaries paid to employees directly involved in the production process.

    For external reporting purposes, indirect manufacturing costs must be allocated to individual units. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Indirect manufacturing costs, such as factory utilities and maintenance, are not directly traceable to individual units of production. However, for external reporting purposes, these costs need to be allocated to individual units to accurately reflect the total cost of production. This allocation is typically done using a predetermined overhead rate based on a cost driver, such as direct labor hours or machine hours. Therefore, the statement "For external reporting purposes, indirect manufacturing costs must be allocated to individual units" is true.

    If a worker is paid for 40 hours but is idle for 5 of those 40 hours, the 5 hours of idle time would be considered a component of direct labor. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Idle time is normally considered a component of indirect labor since it is usually not associated with a particular job.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Idle time wages consist of the wages paid to all workers (for both direct labor and indirect labor) in excess of their straight-time wage rates. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Idle time wages do not consist of the wages paid to all workers in excess of their straight-time wage rates. Idle time wages refer to the wages paid to workers when they are not engaged in productive work due to reasons such as machine breakdowns, power outages, or lack of materials. These wages are typically paid at a reduced rate or may not be paid at all. Therefore, the statement is false.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Overtime premium is normally considered as part of indirect labor since it is usually not associated with a particular job.

Tony makes $50 per hour and is paid $75 an hour (time and a half) for overtime.

    total compensation (44 × $50) + (5 × $75) = $2,950;
    indirect labor (4 × $50) + (5 × $25) = $325
