the manner in which a cost changes as a related activity changes | cost behavior |
costs that vary in proportion to changes in the activity base | variable cost |
when the activity base is units produced, direct materials and direct labor costs are normally classified as... | variable costs |
costs that remain the same in total dollar amount as the activity base changes | fixed costs |
costs that have characteristics of both a variable and a fixed cost | mixed costs |
variable cost per unit= | difference in total cost/ difference in production |
fixed costs= | total cost-(variable cost per unit X units produced) |
total cost= | (variable cost per unit X units produced)+ fixed costs |
examination of the relationships among selling prices, sales and production volume, costs, expenses, and profits | cost-volume-profit analysis |
contribution margin= | sales-variable costs |
contribution margin-fixed costs= | income from operations |
contribution margin ratio= | contribution margin/ sales |
change in income from operations= | change in sales dollars X contribution margin ratio |
break even sales= | fixed costs/ unit contribution margin |
to earn a target profit | sales= (fixed costs + target profit)/ unit contribution margin |
