Which of the following statements best differentiates a principle and a rule as per AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct?
 
  A) A principle is an external person who oversees the behavioral actions of those who practice a profession, while a rule is a value-based internal force for behavioral action.
  B) A principle is an external person who oversees the behavioral actions of those who practice a profession, while a rule is an authoritative regulatory force for behavioral action.
  C) A principle is a value-based internal force for behavioral action and a rule is an authoritative regulatory force for behavioral action.
  D) A principle is regulatory force with advanced education and training and a rule is a value-based internal force for behavioral action.

Question 2

Proration of overhead.
 
  (Z. Iqbal, adapted) The Zaf Radiator Company uses a normal-costing system with a single manufacturing overhead cost pool and machine-hours as the cost-allocation base. The
  following data are for 2014:
 
  Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs 4,800,000
  Overhead allocation base Machine-hours
  Budgeted machine-hours 80,000
  Manufacturing overhead costs incurred 4,900,000
  Actual machine-hours 75,000
 
  Machine-hours data and the ending balances (before proration of under- or overallocated overhead) are as follows:
 
   Actual Machine-Hours 2014 End-of-Year Balance
  Cost of Goods Sold 60,000 8,000,000
  Finished Goods Control 11,000 1,250,000
  Work-in-Process Control 4,000 750,000
 
  Required:
  1. Compute the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate for 2014.
  2. Compute the under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead of Zaf Radiator in 2014. Dispose of this amount using the following:
  a. Writeoff to Cost of Goods Sold
  b. Proration based on ending balances (before proration) in Work-in-Process Control, Finished Goods Control, and Cost of Goods Sold
  c. Proration based on the overhead allocated in 2014 (before proration) in the ending balances of Work-in-Process Control, Finished Goods Control, and Cost of Goods Sold
  3. Which method do you prefer in requirement 2? Explain.

3. Alternative (c) is theoretically preferred over (a) and (b) because the underallocated amount and the balances in work-in-process and finished goods inventories are material. Alternative (c) yields the same ending balances in work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold that would have been reported had actual indirect cost rates been used.
Chapter 4 also discusses an adjusted allocation rate approach that results in the same ending balances as does alternative (c). This approach operates via a restatement of the indirect costs allocated to all the individual jobs worked on during the year using the actual indirect cost rate.
