If two mutually exclusive alternatives have B/C ratios of 1.5 and 1.4 for the lower first-cost and higher first-cost alternatives, respectively: (a) The B/C ratio on the increment between them is greater than 1.4 (b) The B/C ratio on the increment between them is between 1.4 and 1.5 (c) The B/C ratio on the increment between them is less than 1.4 (d) The lower-cost alternative is the better one
In evaluating three mutually exclusive alternatives by the B/C method, the alternatives were ranked A, B, and C, respectively, in terms of increasing cost, and the following results were obtained for overall B/C ratios: 1.1, 0.9, and 1.3. On the basis of these results, it is correct to: (a) Select only alternative A (b) Select only alternative C (c) Compare A and C incrementally (d) Select alternatives A and C
The figure below shows each break-even point of Company A and Company B. Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning the benefit-risk analysis of the two companies? a.) Both companies have the same break-even point and fixed cost, so the profit and loss is also equal as long as the sales are equal. b.) The break-even points of both companies are equal, so the sales necessary for making equal profits are also equal for both companies. c.) The variable cost ratio of Company A is lower than Company B, and therefore, when the sales above the break-even point are equal, the profit of Company A is higher than Company B. d.) When the sales of both companies above the break-even point are equal, Company B that has a lower fixed cost makes a higher profit than Company A.
If the high-low points method is used, the results when compared with those under the method of least squares, are (Variable Cost Per Unit, Total Fixed Costs). the given is a. Equal, Equal b. Higher by P1.26, Lower by P2,850 c. Lower by P1.26, Higher by P2,850 d. Higher by P5 , Lower by P1,500
Data for 2 alternatives are given below. If i = 10%, determine the cost of alternative A so that the 2 alternatives will be equally desirable using BC ratio.
When comparing two mutually exclusive alternatives by the ROR method, if the rate of return on the alternative with the higher first cost is less than that of the lower first-cost alternative: (a) The rate of return on the increment between the two is greater than the rate of return for the lower first-cost alternative (b) The rate of return on the increment is less than the rate of return for the lower first-cost alternative (c) The higher first-cost alternative may be the better of the two alternatives (d) The lower first-cost alternative should be selected
