Explanation / Answer

(8) Option (B)

Contribution margin ratio = (Unit selling price - Unit variable cost) / Unit selling price x 100

= $(6 - 1.5) / $6 x 100 = 75%

(9) Option (B)

BEP (Units) = Fixed Cost / (Selling price - Unit variable cost)

= $12,600 / $(40 - 12) = 450

(10) Option (C)

Increase in revenue = 2,500 x $40 = $100,000

Increase in cost (Advertising) = $30,000

Increase in operating cost = Increase in revenue - Increase in cost (Advertising)

= $(100,000 - 30,000) = $70,000

(11) Option (D)

Absorption cost considers all fixed cost of production into the product cost.

(12) option (C)

Variable costing considers any fixed cost as period cost.

(13) Option (D)

Variable costing does not include variable selling expenses as product cost. These are treated as period costs.
