The static budget is prepared for a single level of activity, while a flexible budget is adjusted for different activity levels. 8 Ben Gordon, Inc. manufactures 2 products, wheels and seats. The company has estimated its overhead in the assembling department to be $660,000. The company produces 300,000 wheels and 600,000 seats each year.

Yes, the intent of the company is to perform the work and the customer is confident that the services will be completed. No, the amount of revenue cannot be adequately determined until the company completes the work. Yes, they are treated as revenue at the time of receipt because the company has access to the cash. No, revenue cannot be recognized until the work is performed.

As long as a company consistently uses the cash basis of accounting, generally accepted accounting principles allow its use. The use of the cash basis of accounting violates both the revenue recognition and expense recognition principles. 15 If a plant is operating at full capacity and receives a one-time opportunity to accept an order at a special price below its usual price, then: the order will likely be accepted. only variable costs are relevant. the order will likely be rejected. fixed costs are not relevant.

Which of the following statements is applicable? Department managers should be credited for favorable variances even if they are beyond their control.
