To determine
Concept introduction:
Activity Based Costing (ABC):
ABC costing method is generally used to allocate the overhead costs to the product using activity rates differently for each activity. Unlike traditional method, the ABC costing method does not use the plant wide overhead rate, rather it used different allocation rate for different production activity.
Predetermined Overhead allocation rate:
The Predetermined Overhead allocation rate is used to allocate the manufacturing overhead over the jobs. Predetermined Overhead allocation rate is calculated by dividing the Total Estimated overhead cost by the Total Estimated allocation base.
The formula to calculate the Predetermined Overhead allocation rate is as follows:
To choose:

Which of the following statements is true when making decisions using cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis?
Select one:
a.
As long as the contribution margin is a positive number, net income will be positive
b.
As long as variable costs are more than fixed costs, net income will be negative
c.
As long as the contribution margin is greater than fixed costs, net income will be positive
d.
As long as the sales price per unit is greater than fixed costs per unit, net income will be positive
In describing the cost formula equation Y = a + bX, which of the following statements is NOT correct?
(A As "X" increases "Y" increases.
(B) "X" is the level of activity.
In the high-low method, "b" equals change in activity divided by change in costs.
"a" is the fixed component.
Which of the following statements related to CVP chart is not true?
O a.
To determine the variable cost per unit from a graph, the change in cost is divided by the change in units.
O b. The scatter graph method is a way to estimate the cost behavior by graphically connecting the two cost amounts
identified with the highest and lowest volume levels.
O c.
The slope of the total cost line determines the variable cost per unit.
O d. To calculate the total fixed cost from a graph is by multiplying a level of volume by the variable cost per unit found out
earlier and subtracting that from the total cost for that level of volume.
e.
The intercept between the total cost line on a graph and the y-axis determines the fixed cost.
f. None of the given answers.
