$0

$3,000

$4,000

How does the cost-volume-profit model accommodate non-linear costs and revenues?

Non-linear costs and revenues are ignored by the model.

Inventory levels are segregated into distinct ranges within which a linear relationship is expected to approximate the actual cost or revenue behavior.

It is not a problem since non-linear costs and revenues do not exist in practice.

None of these is correct.

Answer 1

1)correct option is "D" -target costing.

Under target costing ,A markup %on selling price is determined to determine the cost per unit

2)correct option is "B -78

cost : price [1- markup%]

       = [100(1-.22)] = 78

3)correct option is "A" -0

Increase in contribution = Sales [1-variable cost %]

           = 10000[1-.30]

           = 7000

Increase in net income : 7000 -7000 fixed cost =0

4)correct option is "B" -

Inventory levels are segregated into distinct ranges within which a linear relationship is expected to approximate the actual cost or revenue behavior.
