Explanation / Answer

Answer 1:

Manufacturing cost is the cost, which includes following items

1) Direct Material Cost

2) Direct Labor Cost

3) Manufacturing Overhead Cost which is also known as factory overhead

So, our answer will be option D              

Answer 2

Fixed cost is that type of cost which is has no direct relation with production volume & as the name suggest fixed for the period. We will understand effect on fixed cost per unit in different type of volume.

Scenario 1

Total units produced = 5000

Total fixed cost = 10000

Fixed Cost per unit = Total fixed cost/Total units produced = 10000/5000 = 2 per unit

Scenario 2

Total units produced = 7000

Total fixed cost = 10000

Fixed Cost per unit = Total fixed cost/Total units produced = 10000/7000 = 1.42 per unit.

So, as we can see above when production of units rises per unit of fixed cost decreases, so, our answer will be option B

Answer 3

Depreciation is appropriation of cost of asset uniformly in useful life of asset. Depreciation do not change with production so it is neither a variable cost nor a mixed cost (mixed cost = fixed cost + variable cost). Depreciation cannot be considered as discretionary because it is a part of already incurred cost. So, we can consider depreciation as committed fixed cost our answer is option B.
