Process - ANSWER Identify each of the following types of businesses as either
job-order of process costing.
Personal computer assembly
Process - ANSWER Identify each of the following types of businesses as either
job-order of process costing.
,cost behavior - ANSWER the way in which a cost changes when the level of
output changes
cost driver - ANSWER a causal factor that measures the output of the activity
that leads (or causes) costs to change
relevant range - ANSWER the range of output over which an assumed cost
relationship is valid for the normal operations of a firm
fixed cost - ANSWER costs that, in total, are constant within the relevant range
as the level of output increases or decreases
discretionary fixed costs - ANSWER Fixed costs that can be changed or
avoided relatively easily in the short run at management discretion
committed fixed costs - ANSWER fixed costs that cannot be easily changed
variable cost - ANSWER costs that, in total, vary in direct proportion to
changes in output within the relevant range
total variable cost formula - ANSWER variable rate x units of output
, discretionary variable costs - ANSWER variable costs that can be changed or
avoided relatively easily in the short run at management discretion
semi variable cost - ANSWER a cost that is variable in nature but whose rate of
change is not constant (i.e., total cost increases at either a decreasing or an
increasing rate) as output increases
mixed costs - ANSWER costs that have both a fixed and a variable component
total cost formula - ANSWER total fixed costs + total variable costs
step costs - ANSWER a cost that displays a constant level of total cost for a
range of output and then jumps to a higher level of total cost at some point, where
it remains for a similar range of output-dependent variable
dependent variable - ANSWER a variable whose value depends on the value of
another variable
independent variable - ANSWER explains changes in the dependent variable
and, as such, its value does not depend on the value of another variable
intercept - ANSWER the fixed cost, representing the point where the cost
formula intercepts the vertical axis
slope - ANSWER the fixed cost, representing the point where the cost formula
intercepts the vertical axis
