Answer:
C) will be the same for both absorption costing and variable costing
Explanation:
If the beginning and ending balance for Finished Goods Inventory is 0, that means that all the absorption costs have been assigned and all the fixed costs (for variable costing) have been assigned also. So whatever costing method you choose the valuation should be the same.
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
Product C90B CMR = ($23,490 - $7,047) / $23,490 = $16,443 / $23,490 = 0.7 = 70%
Product Y45E CMR = ($34,800 - $13,920) / $34,800 = $20,880 / $34,800 = 0.6 = 60%
The rule, <em>the Higher the contribution margin ratio, the lower the Break-Even point. </em>So, if sales mix shifts to product C90B, overall Break-even point <u>Decreases</u>.
