Exercises: Set A 27. Identifying Cost Behavior. Mining, Inc., is trying to identify the cost behavior of the three costs shown. Cost information is provided for six months. Cost 1 Cost 2 Cost 3 Units Total Cost per Total Cost per Total Cost per Month Produced Costs Unit Costs Unit Costs Unit 1 8,000 $10,000 $24,000 $32,000 2 10,000 10,000 29,000 40,000 3 12,000 10,000 33,600 48,000 4 14,000 10,000 36,400 56,000 5 16,000 10,000 38,400 64,000 6 18,000 10,000 39,600 72,000 Required: a. Calculate the cost per unit, and then identify how the cost behaves (fixed, variable, or mixed) for each of the three costs. Explain the reasoning behind your answers. b. Why is it important to identify how costs behave with changes in activity?

1. What was Product J's unit cost under cost absorption costing? 2. What was Product J's unit cost under variable costing?

Question: Pat Company uses activity-based costing. The company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales for Product A is 1,800 units and for Product B it's 1,050 units. There are three activity cost pools, with estimated costs and expected activity as follows: Activities Estimated Expected Activity Overhead Cost Product A Product Total B Activity 1 $46,775 1,300 1,200 2,500 Activity 2 $68,277 2,300 1,000 3,300 Activity 3 $82,502 The overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing is closest to: 720 700 1,420 A. $139.12 B. $68.28 C. $32.88 D. $63.19

A department of Alpha Co. incurred the following costs for the month of September. Variable costs, and the variable portion of mixed costs, are a function of the number of units of activity:        Activity level in units   4,500 Variable costs $ 7,875 Fixed costs   29,000 Mixed costs   24,600 Total costs $ 61,475   During October, the activity level was 7,600 units, and the total costs incurred were $68,000.Required:a. Calculate the variable costs, fixed costs, and mixed costs incurred during October.   b. Use the high–low method to calculate the cost formula for mixed cost. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
