B. Relevant costs are frequently called unavoidable costs.
C. Direct labor is an example of a unit-level cost.
D. Only variable costs are relevant for decision making.
Answer:
1. A
2. D
3. B
Explanation:
1. The correct statement regarding relevant costs and revenues is that sunk costs are not relevant for decision-making purposes. Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
2. Expected future revenues that differ among the alternatives under consideration are often referred to as differential revenues. It is the difference in revenues among two (2) alternatives, which would influence decision making.
3. The benefits sacrificed when one alternative is chosen over another are referred to as opportunity costs. It is also referred to as alternative forgone.

Answer:
D £165,000
Explanation:
The computation of gross profit for the year using the first in first out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation is shown below:-
As we know that
Gross profit = Sales - the cost of goods sold
where
Sales is
= 500 units × £550
= £275,000
And, the cost of goods sold is
= 200 units × £250 + 300 units × £200
= £50,000 + £60,000
= £110,000
We considered only 500 units as these sold units are sold
And, this is a first in first out method so we pick the first date units only
So, the gross profit is
= £275,000 - £110,000
= £165,000
Answer:
15.68%
Explanation:
Now to get the expected return of the portfolio, we need to find the return of the portfolio in each state of the economy. This portfolio is a special case since all three assets have the same weight. To find the expected return in an equally weighted portfolio, we can sum the returns of each asset and the we divide it by the number of assets, so the expected return of the portfolio in each state of the economy will be :
Boom: RP= (.13 + .21 + .39) / 3 = .2433, or 24.33%
Bust: RP= (.15 + .05 −.06) / 3 = .0467, or 4.67%
Now to get the expected return of the portfolio, we multiply the return in each state of the economy by the probability of that state occurring, and then sum. In so doing, we get
E(RP) = .56(.2433) + .44(.0467)
=.1568, or 15.68%
Answer:
A) November 30
Explanation:
Based on accrual principle of accounting, revenue is recognized when it is earned and not necessarily when cash is received.
Revenue is said to be earned when the obligation of the delivery of service or goods sold has been met.
As such, where a company accepts a customer's order on November 30 and immediately delivers the goods to the customer, revenue is said to be earned (and will be recognized ) on the day of delivery.
