Answer:
Classifications :
- Direct Costs
- Indirect Costs
- Product Costs
- Period Costs
- Variable Costs
- Fixed Costs
Reasons for classifying costs :
- Inventory valuation
- Profit Measurement
Explanation:
The first step in Cost Classification if to Identify the Cost object.The Cost object is the unit or entity for which determination of cost is required.
By observing the cost accumulating on the cost object we would identify two types of costs :
- Direct Cost - Costs that can be traced on the cost object
- Indirect Cost - Costs that can not be directly traced on the cost object
Another category used to classify costs is whether or not they will be included in product valuation.
- Product Cost - Attached to Product and included in valuation
- Period Cost - Not attached to product and thus not included in product valuation
Lastly the Costs Behaviors bring about different classifications as follows :
- Variable Costs
- Fixed Costs
- Semi-fixed Costs
- Semi - Variable Costs
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1.
Your fixed costs are $100,000/year.
How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000
<u>To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:</u>
<u></u>
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (200,000) / (3 - 1)
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
