Started at 62% today but I'm doing a 75 question practice session so lets see what it is afterwards. Do you just do new questions at first and then trouble questions later on?

The New Wave Co. is considering a new method for allocating overhead to its two products, regular and premium coffee beans. Currently New Wave is using the traditional method to allocate overhead, in which the cost driver is direct labor costs. However, it is interested in using two different drivers: machine hours (MH) for separating and roasting beans, and pounds of coffee for packing and shipping. Machine hours for the current month are 700 hours, direct labor cost per pound of coffee is $1.25, and direct materials cost per pound of coffee is $1.50. There are 1,000 pounds of coffee packed and shipped for the current month. The following data are also available:

Regular Premium

---

---

Overhead for the current month $5,000.00

Cost pool for separating and

roasting beans 3,500.00 150 MH 550 MH

Cost pool for packing and shipping 1,500.00 500 lbs. 500 lbs.

What is the total cost per pound for the premium coffee using the new activity-based costing method?

Select an answer:

A.

$5.00

B.

$5.75

C.

$7.75

D.

$9.75

Definitely keep working on things you are struggling with. I think this material is just as hard as FAR, but FAR has so much more material. On FAR, you can often get away with avoiding a weak topic or two and lucking out that it isn't tested, but I think since BEC has less material you aren't going to be so lucky. Keep facing those weak topics head on, because probability says you *will* be tested on them. There just isn't enough BEC material that they can leave concepts out of the test.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)
