The statement “Expenses, such as depreciation on buildings
are also known as variable expenses.”, is false, due to the fact that depreciation
is a fixed cost since throughout its useful life as an asset, it reoccurs in
the same amount per period, and thus, depreciation cannot be considered a
variable cost. Nevertheless, as with all things, there is an exception. The
depreciation will be sustained in a pattern that is more consistent with a
variable expense, only if a business recruits a usage-based depreciation methodology.
To add, the corporate expense that alters with the company’s
production output is called the variable cost.

Answer:
Large Medium Small
Unit selling price $184 $160 $100
Unit variable cost 130 120 76
Unit contribution margin $54 $40 $24
Autoclave hours per unit 3 2 1
Total process hours per unit 5 4 2
Budgeted units of production 3,000 3,000 3,000
a. Determine the contribution margin by glass type and the total company income from operations for the budgeted units of production.
- total contribution margin for large safety plate glasses = $54 x 3,000 = $162,000
- total contribution margin for medium safety plate glasses = $40 x 3,000 = $120,000
- total contribution margin for small safety plate glasses = $24 x 3,000 = $72,000
b. Prepare an analysis showing which product is the most profitable per bottleneck hour.
contribution margin per autoclave hour:
- large safety plate = $54 / 3 = $18 per autoclave hour
- medium safety plate = $40 / 2 = $20 per autoclave hour
- small safety plate = $24 / 1 = $24 per autoclave hour ⇒ MOST PROFITABLE PRODUCT PER AUTOCLAVE HOUR (BOTTLENECK)
