b. Irrelevant range
c. Breakeven point
d. Margin of safety
a.
What kind of relationship does cost and revenue behavior have?
a. Indirect
b. Inverse
c. Linear
d. It’s complicated
c.
True or false: If level of activity exceeds the range given in a linear relationship, cost behavior patterns remain unchanged.
False.
Level of activity that is outside the range of the linear relationship may have different cost behavior patterns.
Relevant range is only good for a short period of time. What is usually classified as short period of time?
a. 3 months
b. 6 months
c. Depends on professional judgment
d. 1 year
d.
Costs which are attributed to the number of goods or services a company produces.
a. Fixed
b. Variable
c. Choices a and c
d. None of the choices
b.
Which of the following is an example of a variable cost?
a. Monthly insurance of P15,000
b. Monthly depreciation of factory building
c. Salaries and wages paid to factory personnel, based on number of hours worked
d. Monthly salary of company COO
c.
True or false: The more fixed costs a company has, the more revenue a company needs in order to breakeven.
True
The graph of total fixed costs resembles:
a. Diagonal line
b. Horizontal line
c. Step graph
d. Vertical graph
b.
Remember that total fixed costs are fixed in total. The only thing that changes are movements in unit costs and units produced. For example, let’s assume that total fixed costs are P30,000, per-unit fixed cost is P15 and units produced are 2,000. If management decides to increase per-unit fixed costs by P5 (meaning it now becomes P20 per unit), then units produced will decrease by 1,500. However, total fixed costs will remain the same at P30,000.
When graphed, total variable costs resemble:
a. Diagonal line
b. Step graph
c. Vertical line
d. Horizontal line
a.
Remember that total variable costs vary depending on number of units produced. The amount of per-unit variable costs, however, remains constant. For example, let’s assume total variable costs to be P15,000, units produced are 3,000, and unit variable cost is P5. If management decides to decrease production to 2,500 units, then total variable costs will be P12,500. The per-unit variable cost of P5 will remain the same, but the total amount of variable costs will change in a direct manner (if units produced increases, total variable costs will increase and vice-versa).
Assume the following information related to Batang Quiapo Corp. (BQC) for 2023:
Total variable costs = P100,000
Total fixed costs = P150,000
Unit variable cost = P4
Unit fixed costs = P6
Units produced and sold = 25,000
Assume that BQC produced and sold 30,000 units for 2024. How much is BQC’s total fixed costs 2024?
a. P120,000
b. P180,000
c. P150,000
d. P100,000
c.
Remember: TOTAL fixed costs remain the same, no matter the movement in number of units produced & sold and per-unit fixed cost.
Assume the following information related to Batang Quiapo Corp. (BQC) for 2023:
Total variable costs = P100,000
Total fixed costs = P150,000
Unit variable cost = P4
Unit fixed costs = P6
Units produced and sold = 25,000
Assume that BQC produced and sold 30,000 units for 2024. How much is BQC’s total variable costs for 2024?
a. P120,000
b. P180,000
c. P150,000
d. P100,000
a.
Unit variable costs will remain the same, but total variable costs will change directly with number of units produced. In this case, P4 x 30,000 units produced for 2024 = P120,000.
