2.) What is the ‘relevant range’ for the cost structure? In other words, at what volume might you expect the fixed and variable costs to change appreciably?

Exercises 12.17, 12.21, and 12.43 require the use of the “Regression” function within the Data Analysis menu in Excel. Refer to Appendix E12 for instructions on using Excel for these exercises.

The seventh activity I participated in was wearing green on October sixth to support mental health awareness. It was neat to see how many people participated. Making people more aware of mental health disorders is very important because some people truly do not understand them.

2.) For each expense that is variable with respect to revenue hours, calculate the cost per revenue hour.

For example, Band 1 is at entry level/admin, Band 2 is an advisory level or managing a small team of staff, Band 3 is consultancy level and Band 4 is managerial level, leading an organisations’ HR department.

3. For each of the individual overhead accounts at Bridgeton, do you believe the given cost is variable, fixed, or something else? Why? (Use information or evidence from the case to support your evaluation, if possible. For most of these costs, there is no single right answer from the case information, so the goal is to come up with a reasonable estimate.)

Human Resource Practice says “it maybe a cliché that people are an organisations greatest assest, but no orgaisation exists without people and nothing is achieved expect through their efforts” (Page 9)

We will examine the given data from the case and compare the unit costs from the company’s current costing system (traditional costing) and from activity-based costing. We will also highlight other qualitative data in consideration with the numerical factors that may result to a significant change on our recommendation.

In the airline industry pricing is vital. This type of product and service is one of the only key features that are planned and combined together so that the airline can generate demand (Doganis, 2010).

In today’s aviation there are many different ways that airlines, airports, or maintenance facilities cut costs. Maintenance, repair and overhaul(MRO’s) facilities might try and find a cheaper material from overseas to manufacture their parts or they also enter into contracts with international companies to do the manufacturing for them. Airports make almost half of their revenue from non-aeronautical services and products. Airlines save money by not serving olives in their salads.

In airline industry, the cost can break to two parts: fixed cost and variable cost. And there is very hard to cutting off of the fixed cost which is including the cost of fuel, landing fees, insurance, etc. because these costs are necessary.
