Q

How do Fixed Costs affect budgeting?

A

Costs independent of the level activity within the relevant range

Property Tax is the same whether you produce 100-000 units or zero units

However - Fixed Costs per unit vary given the amount of activity

If you produce fewer units- fixed costs per unit will be greater than if you produce more units - i.e. less units to spread the cost over

Q

How do Variable Costs affect budgeting?

A

The more Direct Materials or Direct Labor used- the more Variable Costs per unit

However - Variable Costs per unit don’t change with the level of activity like Fixed Costs per unit

Q

What are the characteristics of Short-term Cost Analysis?

A

Uses Relevant Costs Only

Ignore Sunk Costs

Opportunity Cost is a Must

20
Q

Target Cost Formula

A

Target Cost=Market Price-Required Profit

21
Q

Kaizen Method

A

The product may have to be redesigned to provide for the reduction of costs throughout the life cycle of a product.

22
Q

Sensitivity Analysis Slope

A

DIF TC/ DIF Volume

23
Q

Simple Linear Regression Model

A

y=A+Bx

TC=FC+VC(U)

24
Q

Y is the what is the regression model

A

Dependent variable

25
Q

X is the what in the regression model

A

Independent variable

26
Q

A is the what is the regression model

A

Y-intercept

27
Q

B is the what in the regression model

28
Q

-1 Coefficient of Correlation means?

A

Perfect Inverse Relationship

29
Q

0 Coefficient of correlation means?

A

No relationship

30
Q

1 Coefficient of correlation means?

A

Perfect direct relationship

31
Q

Coefficient of correlations measures?

A

(r) Measures the STRENGTH of the linear relationship between the independent variable(x) and the dependent variable(y).

32
Q

Coefficient of determination means?

A

(r^2) the PROPORTION of the total variation in the dependent variable(y) explained by the independent variable (x)

Higher(R^2)=greater proportion of the total variation in y that is explained by x. The higher the(r^2) the better the fit of the regression line.

33
