A contribution format income statement separates costs into fixed and variable categories,first deducting variable expenses from sales to obtain the contribution margin.

Materials used in a factory that are not an integral part of the final product,such as cleaning supplies,should be classified as:

Dominik Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for $527,000 when it launched product M08Y. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 310 machine costing $545,000 or by a new model 240 machine costing $450,000. Management has decided to buy the model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the model 310 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M08Y. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product M08Y and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $450,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $532,000. -In making the decision to buy the model 220 machine rather than the model 370 machine,the sunk cost was:

Cost behavior is considered curvilinear whenever a straight line is a reasonable approximation for the relation between cost and activity.

A fixed cost is not constant per unit of product.

Which costs will change with a decrease in activity within the relevant range?

Selling and administrative expenses are period costs under generally accepted accounting principles.

Rhome Corporation's relevant range of activity is 2,000 units to 6,000 units. When it produces and sells 4,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: -If 5,000 units are sold,the variable cost per unit sold is closest to:

In a manufacturing company,all costs are period costs.
