CHAPTER 3 ACTIVITY COST BEHAVIOR LEARNING OBJECTIVES AFTER STUDYING THIS CHAPTER‚ YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO: 1. Define and describe fixed‚ variable‚ and mixed costs. 2. Explain the use of the resources and activities and their relationship to cost behavior. 3. Separate mixed costs into their fixed and variable components using the high-low method‚ the scatterplot method‚ and the method of least squares. 4. Evaluate the reliability of the cost formula. 5. Explain how multiple regression

have a sound knowledge of cost behaviour ie fixed costs‚ variable costs‚ semi-variable costs and sunk costs. Answer: Understanding cost behaviour helps manager in anticipation of changes in cost when there is a change in their activities like production‚ sales‚ inventory pile up etc. It provides good assistance in planning‚ cost management and decision making. A number of behaviour patterns exist ranging from fixed to variable and from linear to curvilinear. Many cost predictions techniques are

Cost management | Wilkerson Company Case | | 1. What is the competitive situation faced by Wilkerson? The competitive situation faced by Wilkerson is quite severe. Price cutting in its main product has led to a huge drop in profit. While price increase in another product line partially made up the loss. We will discuss the detailed situation line by line. (1) Valves It was the first product line developed by Wilkerson and its high quality brought it a loyal customer base. Even

1. Calculate real GDP for 2004 and 2005 using 2004 prices. To calculate the real GDP we use the constant price for 2004 which was $20. Real GDP (base year 2004) 2004 ($20 per CD x 100 CD’s) + ($110 per racquet x 200 racquets) = 24000 2005 ($20 per CD x 120 CD’s) + ($110 per racquet x 210 racquets) = 25500 By what percentage did real GDP grow? Because the Real GDP was $24000 in 2004 and $25500 in 2005‚ real GDP grew by ($25500 - $24000) / $24000 = 0.0625 or 6.25% 2. Calculate the

There are three basic types of programming languages. These languages are machine‚ assembly‚ and high-level languages. Machine language is just a sequence of zeroes and ones. Different combinations of zeroes and ones mean different things and sends different instruction to the computer. An advantage of this is that this is the only language that a computer can understand directly. However a fallback is that this is not very easy for humans to be able to either read it or write it. It will be hard
