Explanation / Answer

Q. 41 Indirect costs are

Answer:- Option A. Costs that are not worth the effort to trace to a specific cost object.

Q. 42 Fixed costs are

Answer:- Option D. Costs that remain constant no matter the activity level.

Q. 43 Prime costs are defined as

Answer:- Option B. Direct labor plus Direct materials.

Q. 44

a). Break-even point in units = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit

= 150000 / 50 -30

= 150000 / 20 = 7500 Units

   b). Unit sales that would be required to earn a target profit of $100,000:-

  Let A denotes number of units to be sold.

  50A - 30A = 150000 + 100000

20A = 250000

A = 12500 Units

Conclusion:- Unit sales that would be required to earn a target profit of $100,000 = 12500 Units

Q. 45. Variable costs = Sales - Fixed costs - Profit

= 900000 - 480000 - 60000

= 360000

Contribution = Sales - Variable costs

= 900000 - 360000

= 540000

a) Contribution margin percentage = Contribution / sales * 100

= 540000 / 900000 * 100

= 60%

b) Break-even point (in dollars) = Fixed costs / Contribution margin percentage

= 480000 / 60%

= $ 800000
