Solution

The following statements are true:

  1. The choice of whether to use a plantwide rate or departmental rates depends on the products and the production process.
  2. If the company manufactures products that are quite similar and that use the same set of resources, the plantwide rate is probably sufficient.
  3. Managers need to choose between plantwide and departmental rates based on the costs and benefits of each.

The first statement is not true because if multiple products use the manufacturing facilities in many different ways, a plantwide rate may not be ideal. It may not accurately allocate costs to each product, especially if the products use the facilities and resources differently. In such cases, departmental rates or activity-based costing might be more appropriate.
