Consider the following cost and pricing data of ABC Corp. on its Product X: Price: P120.00.per unit Profit Contribution: P90.00 Proposed additional Cost: P3 per unit (for quality improvement) Current Profits: P2.4 million Sales: 100,000 units. Assuming that average variable costs are constant at all output levels, find ABC Corp.’s total cost function before the proposed change. Calculate the total cost function if the quality improvement is implemented. Calculate ABC Corp.’s break-even output before and after the change, assuming it cannot increase its price.
Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
ABC Costing
Cost Accounting is a form of managerial accounting that helps the company in assessing the total variable cost so as to compute the cost of production. Cost accounting is generally used by the management so as to ensure better decision-making. In comparison to financial accounting, cost accounting has to follow a set standard ad can be used flexibly by the management as per their needs. The types of Cost Accounting include – Lean Accounting, Standard Costing, Marginal Costing and Activity Based Costing.
Consider the following cost and pricing data of ABC Corp. on its Product X:
Price: P120.00.per unit
Profit Contribution: P90.00
Proposed additional Cost: P3 per unit (for quality improvement)
Current Profits: P2.4 million
Sales: 100,000 units.
Assuming that
Calculate the total cost function if the quality improvement is implemented.
Calculate ABC Corp.’s break-even output before and after the change, assuming it cannot increase its price.
Calculate the increase in sales that would be necessary with the quality improvement to increase profits to P2.7 million.
