Answer:
False
Explanation:
Within the relevant range of activities, total fixed costs remain constant and fixed costs per unit decrease as total output increases. Total variable costs vary depending on total output, but variable costs per unit should remain constant.
On a long term basis, all costs are variable, that is why it is important to consider the range of activities, i.e. output levels.
Answer:
$7.05
Explanation:
Given that
Direct labor = $3.50 per unit
Direct material = $1.25 per unit
Variable overhead = $41,400
Total fixed overhead = $150,000
Produced units = 18,000
The computation of total product cost per unit under variable costing is shown below:-
Total Variable overhead = Variable overhead ÷ Produced units
= $41,400 ÷ $18,000
= $2.3
Total product cost per unit = Direct labor + Direct material + Total variable overhead
= $3.50 + $1.25 + $2.3
= $7.05
Answer:
C. 120
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
(L × K)
<u>Labor L Capital K Quantity of Output Q Total cost TC</u>
1 2 2 $40
2 4 8 $80
(2 × $20 + 4 × $10)
3 6 18 $120
(3 × $20 + 6 × $10)
4 8 32 $160
(4 × $20 + 8 × $10)
As we can see that if we considered 3 units of labor so the total cost is $120
Hence, the correct option is c.
Answer:
1. Apart from helping to know the average cost of a product, analyzing fixed and variable cost will help to derive the break even point.
2. Profit will go down
Explanation:
1. The size of the selling price and the variable cost determine contribution per unit of a product. Contribution per unit is Price minus variable cost. This shows the contribution of sales revenue towards covering the fixed cost of a product.
2. Relevant range is the estimated or budgeted activity level which defines a business volume of production or operation, it is both maximum and minimum threshold within which the entity must operate to expect certain level of cost and revenue.
Sometimes fixed costs are fixed within a relevant range of activities and outside such range, fixed cost may become variable, which will all things being equal impact negatively on the price.
Also, within relevant range volume discount may be achieved and outside such range, this may be forfeited which, will also reduce profit all things being equal.
