Answer:

Utilities

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary proportionately with the changes in production level. Should production level rise, variable costs increases. Variable costs form the majority of the direct cost of production.

Unlike fixed costs, the monthly bill for variable costs will keep fluctuating. In this scenario, utilities represent the variable cost. Expenses on electricity, water and other consumables will vary from time to time. With a high level of production, consumption of power and water will be high.  

Rent and insurance cost will remain the same regardless of production level. A professional fee is an overhead expense. It is not an input in the production process.

Breakeven analysis: Barry Carter is considering opening a music store. He wants to estimate the number of CDs he must sell to br
Scilla [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The operating break even point in number of CD is

= Fixed operating cost ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable operating cost)

= $73,500 ÷ ($13.98 - $10.48)

= 21,000 CDs

b. Now the total operating cost is

= Fixed cost + Quantity × variable cost per unit

= $73,500 + 21,000 CDs × $10.48

= $293,580

c. If he can sell 2,000 CDs per month than annual sale is 24,000 CDs and the break even is exceeded than 3,000 CDs by taking a difference of 24,000 CDs and 21,000 CDs . So, it should go to the CD business

d. Now the EBIT is

= (Selling price × Quantity) - Fixed cost - (Variable price × Quantity)

= ($13.98 × 24,000) - $73,500 - ($10.48 × 24,000)

= $335,520 - $73,500 - $251,520

= $10,500

We simply applied the above formulas

Total time                         12.25                  27                          45

Critical path: Activity A - Activity B

                     Activity A - Activity C 3 - Activity D 2 - Activity E 1 - Activity F 2

Activity G 2 - Activity H 3 - Activity I and J 2 - Activity K 1

= 3 + 2 + 1 + 2+ 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 16 minutes

Length of time to complete the entire process = 27 - 4 = 23

The critical path identifies the longest stretch of dependent activities and measuring the time required to complete them from start to finish.
