                                                 Alpha            Beta

Number of units produced   100,000       100,000

Traceable fixed

manufacturing overhead      $16                 $18

Total amount of traceable fixed

manufacturing overhead $1,600,000  $1,800,000

2. The total amount of common fixed expenses is given below:-

                                                 Alpha            Beta

Number of units produced   100,000       100,000

Common fixed

manufacturing overhead       $15                 $10

Total amount of common fixed

manufacturing overhead     $1,500,000  $1,000,000

3. The computation of increase or decrease of profit is shown below:-

Selling price                        $80

Direct material                   ($30)

Direct labor                        ($20)

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             ($7)

Contribution margin           $23

Less: Variable selling

expenses                            ($12)

Profit per unit                       $11

Total profit increase

(10,000 × $11)                      $110,000

The computation of increase or decrease of profit is as shown below:-

Selling price                        $39

Less: Variable cost

Direct material                   ($12)

Direct labor                        ($15)

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             ($5)

Contribution margin           $7

Less: Variable selling

expenses                            ($8)

Profit per unit                       ($1)

Total profit decrease

(5,000 × -$1)                      -($5,000)

The law of variability says that​ "the greater the random variability either demanded of the process or inherent in the process
Aneli [31]

Answer:

C. the less productive the process​ is.

Explanation:

Variability refers to the property when the given substance are highly probable to change and that the results accordingly change.

In that condition there is no drawn pattern for such change, as it might or might not change according to the expected scale and level.

In this, if there is high variability, then the results can be that the resulting process will be least productive, as there are so many uncontrollable changes.

Accordingly, since no proper management of the related process is possible, the results will not be productive.
