14) For April, the month just ended, the cost components to make tapes were $2 per tape plus fixed costs of $10,000. One thousand tapes were produced. For May the cost to make tapes will be $2.20 per tape plus fixed costs of $10,000. Fifteen hundred tapes are expected to be produced. What are the estimates for the intercept and slope coefficient for May, respectively?

A) $2.00 and $10,000.00

B) $2.20 and $10,000.00

C) $10,000.00 and $2.00

D) $10,000.00 and $2.20

E) $22,000 and $10,000

 

15) The cost function y = 1,000 + 5X

A) has a slope coefficient of 1,000.

B) has an intercept of 5.

C) is a straight line.

D) represents a fixed cost.

E) is missing the slope coefficient.

16) Which of the following statements related to assumptions about estimating linear cost functions is true?

A) Variations in a single cost driver explain variations in total costs.

B) A cost object is anything for which a separate measurement of costs is desired.

C) A linear function approximates cost behaviour at all ranges of production.

D) Correlation refers to the relationship between fixed and variable costs.

E) The graph of total costs does not form a straight line within the relevant range because of variable costs.

 

17) Which of the following statements regarding a linear cost function is true?

A) When there are only fixed costs, total material costs increase as the number of units produced increases.

B) The slope coefficient of a mixed cost line intersects the vertical axis at zero.

C) The relationship between the cost driver and the fixed cost is represented by the cost-benefit relationship.

D) It is easier to identify a single measure of benefit in a more heterogeneous cost pool.

E) A linear cost function for manufacturing overhead can be graphed when the reported benefit received can be paired with the corresponding dollar value of the cost pool.

 

18) Brandt Cheque Encoders employs 30 individuals. Ten employees are paid $10 per hour for 173 hours a month and the rest are salaried employees paid $6,000 a month. How would total costs of personnel be classified?
