COST-VOLUME-PROFIT ANALYSIS
CLASS DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Total variable costs vary in direct proportion
11. A high contribution margin ratio, coupled
with idle capacity, indicates a potential for
sales to maximum capacity and to take
17. Operating leverage measures the relative

a. Variable Cost per Unit = Difference in Total Costs
Difference in Units Produced
b. Total Cost = (Variable Cost per Unit × Units Produced) + Fixed Costs

Gross-Ton Mile = Miles Ton-Gross in Difference
Costs Total in Difference
The fixed costs can be determined by subtracting the estimated total variable
cost from the total cost at either the highest or lowest level of gross-ton mile, as
