2189348225three basic cost behaviorsvariable, fixed, semi-variable11
2189350091Variable costscosts in which the total cost changes in the same portion as changes in business volume. Monitor through %12

2189461625Semi-Variable costsis a cost that is composed of both a fixed and variable component. Monitor through both $ & %14
2189477002Methods to find total labor costs1. Min/Max method 2. Regression analysis 3. Scatter Gram Analysis15
2189482879Max/Min MethodStep1. Find which months have highest and lowest revenues. Record values and find the difference. Step2. VC%=Change in cost/change in revenue Step3. Total cost-variable cost=FxC16
2189489100Regression analysisFind the toady of x(revenue), y(cost), (xy) and (x^2)... Just look in the book 2-15. This shit sucks.17
2189519710Scatter gramPlot the revenue values on x skis and the labor costs along the y axis. The point at which the line intersects the vertical axis is the estimated fixed cost component.18
2189523417Operating leverageThe mix of variable and fixed costs is called operating leverage. when revenues increase, operations with a higher operating leverage have the greater increase in profit. When revenues are declining, having high operating leverage is undesirable. There are two primary factors in the selection of operating leverage 1. forecast of revenues 2. attitudes toward risk. leverage of an operation is affected by 2 primary factors 1. the nature of the industry and 2. mgmt policy19

2189591750Common allocation methodseach department receives an equal amount or dividing the cost among the departments according to # of employees, revenue, area measured in ft^2, departmental direct cost, or departmental employee turnover.22
