The CVP income statement classifies costs as variable or fixed and computes a contribution margin.
The margin of safety indicates how much sales must increase before a company will be operating at a profit.
Sales mix is the relative percentage in which each product is sold when a company sells more than one product.
When multiple products exist, the break-even point in dollars is computed by dividing fixed costs by the weighted-average contribution margin.
When a company has limited resources, management must decide which product to make and sell in order to maximize contribution margin ratio.
Contribution margin per unit of limited resource is obtained by dividing the contribution margin per unit of each product by the number of units of the limited resource required for each product.
Operating leverage refers to the extent to which a company’s net income reacts to a given change in production.
Companies that have higher fixed costs relative to variable costs have higher operating leverage.
Under variable costing, all variable costs are considered product costs.
Fixed manufacturing costs are a product cost under absorption costing but are a period cost under variable costing.
For a company selling multiple products, the break-even point in dollars is computed by dividing fixed costs by the
In order to maximize net income a company should produce and sell the product with the highest.
Operating leverage refers to the extent to which a company’s net income reacts to a given change in
Under variable costing, all of the following are considered product costs except
All of the following are potential advantages of variable costing except that
Even in today’s automated environment, direct labor is sometimes the appropriate basis for assigning overhead cost to products.
In the first stage of activity-based costing, overhead is assigned to products using costdrivers.
The first step in activity-based costing is to identify and classify the major activitiesinvolved in the manufacture of specific products, and allocate manufacturing overhead tothe appropriate cost pools.
Before costs are allocated to the cost pools, the cost drivers for each cost pool must beidentified.
Under ABC, overhead costs are shifted from the high-volume product to the low-volumeproduct.
Activity-based costing does not change the amount of overhead costs, but it doesallocate those costs in a more accurate manner.
Overhead costs are not allocated by means of arbitrary volume-based cost drivers underABC.
Value-added activities increase the worth of a product or service to customers andinvolve resource usage that customers are willing to pay for.
Product-level activities in ABC are required to support or sustain an entire productionprocess.
Just-in-time processing strives to eliminate inventories by using a “pull approach” inmanufacturing.
The last step in activity-based costing is to
Machine hours would be an accurate cost driver for
