1. Amount by which budgeted (actual) revenue exceeds the BE Revenue.






2. # of Units: H1 and L1 - Cost: H2 and L2 - VC per Unit: (H2 - L2 / (H1-L1) - FC: L2 - VCL -or- H2 - VCH - VCH: H1 x VC per Unit VCL: L1 x VC per Unit






3. Goods Available for Sale - End Finished Goods






4. The product being made






5. Costs vary as the level of activity change. changes in total proportion to changes in the related level of total activity/volume (DM - DL)






6. Y = FC + (VC Per Unit x Activity Measure or Unit)






7. The direct and variable costs that can be traced back to the cost object.






8. Can be traced to the cost object in a cost-effective way (DM - DL)

22. ∑xy = (FC)(∑x) + (VC)(∑x^2) - ∑y = (n)(FC) + (VC)(∑x) - solve for a & b - then write the formula/equation: y = FC + (VC x Units)






23. Examines the behavior of total rev - total costs - Op Inc as changes occur in the output level - selling price - variable cost per unit - or the fixed costs of a product






24. Direct - Indirect - Mixed - Fixed - Variable - etc.

40. DL + FOH






41. Property tax - property insurance - and property rent






42. Budgeted Sales(units) - BE Sales (units)






43. DL + DM






44. CM / Op Income [Op Leverage is high when the entity has a high proportion of FC in its cost structure)






45. Predicted cost






46. A little fixed & a little variable






47. Drives the cost of production. ex. labor hrs - materials - machine hours






48. Beg WIP Inv + Total Mnf Costs Incurred-End WIP Inv






49. Rev - COGS
