First of all, we have to understand what is Full costing, Variable Costing, and JIT Inventory Management System.

Full Costing

Full costing also know as absorption costing. It allocate all cost to the specific product like fixed cost, variable cost etc.

Absorption costing consider all kind of cost whereas variable costing will only consider cost in variable in nature.

Variable Costing

Variable cost is a method were we only account for those cost that are varied over production output. It will not be a good tacker of profitability but it will help in decision making.

Inventory Management System

JIT stands for Just in Time Inventory. Where basic idea is to buy inventory whenever required, this system doesn't allow holding inventory.

Now coming to the question of why the difference is small when we are operating under JIT Inventory management System is as follows:-

1. Working capital - It is designed to be exceedingly low, so the investment in working capital is very less and will reduce inventory holding cost.

2. Obsolete inventory - Since inventory levels are so low, there is little risk of having much obsolete inventory which in turn will result in less loss.

3. Process time. A thoroughly implemented JIT system should shorten the amount of time required to manufacture products, which may decrease the quoted lead times given to customers placing orders. So the fixed cost will not be incurred on rent etc because of low/ less holding of inventory.

Because of the above factor difference is too small.

2. Why might an investor choose to become a partner in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock of an open corporation? If an investor decided to join in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock on an open corporation they would have less to do with the business side as they would in an open corporation. When an investor joins in a limited partnership they have less management responsibility and little to no liability besides their initial investment.

3. Is growth a good thing for all firms? How does management know when a firm is ready to grow? Growth is not a good thing for all firms. Depending on what a company is looking to achieve long term, the financial assets they have now to achieve their growth and other goals are all subject to what the company is able to do with the finances and staffing they have. When a corporation is trying to decide whether or not they should grow, management will examine all aspects of the company to make sure they align with the growth plan.

4. If you were to start a business, which ownership form would you choose? What factors might affect your choice? If I were to start a business, I would probably choose a limited liability company (LLC) as the ownership form and structure. An LLC is where the members within the company are not held personally liable for the company’s debts or liabilities. Think ownership form works well if you were to join forces an open up a business with a friend or family member. An LLC keeps the tax side of the business easier as allowing the individuals to be self-proprietors. When considering factors that may change this decision they would include: who I am going in business with, what I am in business for, my end goals, current goals and current financial status. </span>

Explanation:

Costs that are incurred as part of the manufacturing process but are not clearly associated with specific units of product or batches of production, including all manufacturing costs other than direct material and direct labor costs, are called overhead cost.
