objectives of cost accounting
(PIE) P=Product costing; I=Income; E=Efficiency
Contribution margin =
revenue - variable cost
NI =
CM - FC
if invy increases, which method will have higher ni? Absorbtion or Variable?
ABSORBTION less fixed oh expensed under absorbtion
total fc / cm per unit =
breakeven in units
total fc / cm RATIO =
break eve in units
total sales - breakeven sales =
margin of safety
____ is used when analyzing bus decisions (focuses on rev & exp)
marginal analysis
incremental costs cost aka
prime costs
marginal cost =
vc + avoidable fc
slope = vc per unit =
change in Total COST (TC)/ change in VOLUME
Total Cost (TC)=
Tot FC + (VC per unit x Volume)
the ____ is a simple technique that is used to estimate the fixed & variable portions of costs
high-low method
