You configured an overhead costing sheet that uses the quantity-based overhead approach to calculate the overhead amount. What is required for the amount to be calculated? 3.1
-
Activity types with actual or plan quantities maintained
-
Cost accounts with the option to record quantity
-
Settlement rules with valid receiver objects
-
Statistically figures with values for the period
Correct Answer
A. Cost accounts with the option to record quantityExplanation
To calculate the overhead amount using the quantity-based overhead approach, it is necessary to have cost accounts with the option to record quantity. This means that the cost accounts should be set up in a way that allows the recording of the quantity of goods or services produced. This information is used in conjunction with the activity types (which should have actual or plan quantities maintained) to determine the overhead amount. Settlement rules with valid receiver objects and statistically figures with values for the period are not directly related to the calculation of the overhead amount using the quantity-based overhead approach.Rate this question:

Which cost estimates must you reuse with the transfer control functionality? 3.2
-
Cost estimates within the same plant
-
Cost estimates with same cost component structure
-
Cost estimates across company codes
-
Cost estimates with quantity structure
Correct Answer
A. Cost estimates with same cost component structureExplanation
The transfer control functionality allows for the reuse of cost estimates with the same cost component structure. This means that if two cost estimates have the same breakdown of cost components, they can be transferred and reused. This can save time and effort in creating new cost estimates from scratch, as the existing structure can be used as a template. The other options listed, such as cost estimates within the same plant, across company codes, or with quantity structure, do not specifically mention the need for the same cost component structure, and therefore do not apply to the question.Rate this question:
