The relevant range is the range of activity over which fixed costs remain constant and variable costs per unit remain unchanged.

The relevant range is the period during which a company operates.

The relevant range refers to the maximum output capacity of a factory.

The relevant range is the total cost of production.

behavior of total fixed costs within the relevant range

Total fixed costs are constant within the relevant range.

Total fixed costs are zero within the relevant range.

what is the equation of mixed cost

Total Mixed Cost = Fixed Cost + (Variable Cost per Unit × Number of Units)

Total Mixed Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost per Unit + Total Units

Total Mixed Cost = Fixed Cost - (Variable Cost per Unit ÷ Number of Units)

Total Mixed Cost = Variable Cost + (Fixed Cost × Number of Units)

define high-low method

Controllable Costs: Costs that can be influenced by management decisions.

Marginal Costs: The cost of producing one additional unit.

definition of differential cost and revenue

Differential cost is the difference in costs between two alternatives, while differential revenue is the difference in revenues between those alternatives.

Differential cost is the total cost of production.

cost flow in a manufacturing firm

DL+DM+MOH (Product Cost) -> Work-in-Progress -> Finished Goods -> Cost of Goods Sold.

Raw Materials -> Finished Goods -> Work-in-Progress -> Cost of Goods Sold

Work-in-Progress -> Raw Materials -> Cost of Goods Sold -> Finished Goods

Finished Goods -> Work-in-Progress -> Raw Materials -> Cost of Goods Sold

Sales - COGS - Period Cost (S&A)

Net Income is the same as gross profit.

Net Income can be calculated as total revenue minus total expenses.

Gross margin is the profit made after all operating expenses are deducted.

Gross margin is the total expenses incurred by a business.

Gross margin is the total revenue generated by a company.

basic equation for inventory accounts

Begginning Balance + Additions = Ending Balance + Withdrawals

Ending Inventory = Purchases - COGS

Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory - Purchases + COGS

Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + COGS - Purchases

Use the basic accounting equation to find COGM

Beginning WIP + DL + DM+ MOH = Ending WIP + COGM

COGM = Total Manufacturing Costs + Ending WIP - Beginning WIP

COGM = Beginning WIP - Total Manufacturing Costs + Ending WIP

COGM = Ending WIP + Total Manufacturing Costs + Beginning WIP

use the basic accounting equation to find COGS

Beginning FG + COGM = Ending FG + COGS

COGS = Purchases + Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory

COGS = Ending Inventory - Purchases + Beginning Inventory

COGS = Beginning Inventory - Purchases + Ending Inventory

Cost-Volume-Profit equation:

Profit = (Sales Price per Unit - Fixed Costs) * Quantity - Variable Cost per Unit

Profit = (Sales Price per Unit * Quantity) - Variable Cost per Unit - Fixed Costs

Profit = Sales Price per Unit + Variable Cost per Unit - Fixed Costs

difference between traditional statement and contribution format

The traditional statement focuses on functional costs, whereas the contribution format emphasizes variable and fixed costs.

The traditional statement emphasizes variable costs, while the contribution format focuses on functional costs.

Both formats present costs in the same way, with no significant differences.

The contribution format is used exclusively for non-profit organizations.

contribution margin =

Contribution margin = Total Sales Revenue - Total Variable Costs

Contribution margin = Total Fixed Costs - Total Sales Revenue

Contribution margin = Total Sales Revenue + Total Variable Costs

Contribution margin = Total Revenue - Total Costs

CM Ratio = (Sales Revenue - Variable Costs) / Sales Revenue

CM Ratio = (Sales Revenue + Variable Costs) / Sales Revenue

CM Ratio = (Sales Revenue - Fixed Costs) / Sales Revenue

CM Ratio = (Variable Costs - Sales Revenue) / Variable Costs

the meaning of a 40 % CM Ratio

each dollar in sales results in a total contribution margin increase of 40 cents

40% of sales revenue is profit.

40% indicates a loss in sales revenue.

40% of fixed costs are covered by sales revenue.

Breakeven Sales (BES) =

Breakeven Sales = Fixed Costs / CM Ratio

Breakeven Sales = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs

Breakeven Sales = Variable Costs / (Sales Price - Fixed Costs)

Breakeven Sales = Total Revenue - Total Costs

Breakeven Quantity (BEQ) =

BEQ = Fixed Costs / CM per unit

BEQ = Selling Price - Variable Cost

BEQ = Fixed Costs + Variable Cost

BEQ = Fixed Costs * (Selling Price + Variable Cost)

what is margin of safety in management accounting

The margin of safety is the difference between actual sales and break-even sales.

The margin of safety is the total profit made by a company.

The margin of safety is the amount of debt a company can take on.

The margin of safety is the percentage of sales that exceed fixed costs.

margin of safety in percentage of sales

Margin of Safety (%) =Margin of Safety/ Actual Sales * 100

Margin of Safety (%) = (Actual Sales + Break-even Sales) / Actual Sales * 100

Margin of Safety (%) = (Break-even Sales - Actual Sales) / Actual Sales * 100

Margin of Safety (%) = (Actual Sales - Break-even Sales) / Break-even Sales * 100

margin of safety in terms of units sold

Margin of safety in units = margin of safety/price per unit

Margin of Safety = Break-even Sales - Actual Sales

Margin of Safety = Actual Sales + Break-even Sales

Margin of Safety = Actual Sales / Break-even Sales

define operating leverage

how sensitive net operating income is to percentage changes in sales

Operating leverage is the ratio of total assets to total liabilities.

Operating leverage measures the impact of interest rates on a company's profitability.

Operating leverage refers to the ability to reduce variable costs.

how to calculate operating leverage

Degree of operating Leverage = % contribution margin/ Net Operating Income

Operating Leverage = Total Revenue / Total Expenses

Operating Leverage = % Change in Net Income / % Change in Assets

Operating Leverage = Fixed Costs / Variable Costs

what does an operating of 5 means

if Racing revenue increases 10%, net operating income would increase 50%

An operating of 5 indicates poor performance or quality.

An operating of 5 signifies exceptional performance or quality.

An operating of 5 represents a failing score or rating.

high fixed cost structure leads to

high sensitivity of operating income to change in sales

Decreased risk of bankruptcy and improved cash flow.
