Explanation / Answer

Answer 1

Using high low method.Variable cost per unit (b) is calculated using the following formula:

Where,
y2 is the total cost at highest level of activity;
y1 is the total cost at lowest level of activity;
x2 are the number of units/labor hours etc. at highest level of activity; and
x1 are the number of units/labor hours etc. at lowest level of activity

USing the above formula = we use may for high and March for low

27600- 25600 /(19800-10000) = 0.2041 = Answer

Answer 2

High : May

Low : April

= 6760-4100/( 270- 150) = 22.1667 = Answer

Answer 3

mixed cost

Answer 4

Break Even Sales Dollars = Fixed Costs/Contribution Margin Ratio=184,800/16%=$1,155,000

Answer 5

units must be sold to break-even = (96,600 +22,200)/(16-4-2)= 11880

Answe 6

operating leverage

leverage helps fixed cost to increase profits at a rate faster than sales increase is called

Answer 7

Contribution Margin ratio = (80 - 40)/80 = 50%

Break Even Point (Dollars) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin ratio
= 5,000 / 50%
= $10,000

Actual Sales = 80*150 = $12,000

Margin of Safety = (Actual Sales - Break Even Sales)/Actual Sales
= (12000 - 10000) / 12000
= 16.67%

Answer 8

Cost functions within the relevant range are assumed to be linear

Variable Cost per Unit = y2 ? y1 x2 ? x1
