Question :
32) ______ A) The number of units required to reach : 1196224
32) ______ A) The number of units required to reach the breakeven point tends to be higher (as it incorporates total costs) using this method than when using the Contribution Margin method. B) Operating income in the equation is set equal to nil. C) Operating income in the equation assumes that fixed costs are nil. D) Operating income in the equation is set equal to the target income for the year. E) Revenue in the equation includes only operating revenues plus fixed costs .
33) Which of the following are necessary assumptions when using the contribution margin method of determining the breakeven point? 33) ______ A) Average unit costs must be known. B) Total variable cost must be known. C) There must be an input-related cost driver. D) Fixed costs are irrelevant. E) Unit selling price and unit variable cost must be known.
34) Which of the following formulae is correct when using the contribution margin method to determine the breakeven point? 34) ______ A) revenues less operating income equal variable costs plus fixed costs B) unit contribution margin times the breakeven number of units equals total variable costs C) unit contribution margin times unit variable cost equals the breakeven number of units D) selling price less unit contribution margin equals unit fixed cost for all values below or at the breakeven number of units E) unit contribution margin times the breakeven number of units equals fixed costs
