Solution
The following statements are true:
-
Companies that use a single Manufacturing Overhead account record manufacturing overhead costs as debits to the account. This is because when a company incurs manufacturing overhead costs, it increases (debits) its Manufacturing Overhead account.
-
Companies that use a single Manufacturing Overhead account record manufacturing overhead costs applied as credits to the account. This is because when a company applies manufacturing overhead costs to jobs, it decreases (credits) its Manufacturing Overhead account.
The following statements are not necessarily true:
-
Companies that use a single Manufacturing Overhead account will not have underapplied or overapplied overhead. This is not necessarily true because the actual manufacturing overhead costs may not always equal the applied manufacturing overhead. The difference results in underapplied or overapplied overhead.
-
Companies are required to use Manufacturing Overhead Control and Applied Manufacturing Overhead accounts. This is not necessarily true because the use of these accounts may vary depending on the company's accounting system and policies.
