The labour production volume ratio = expected hours to produce actual output / total hours available (budgeted) x 100%
What are the purposes of costing (i.e. calculating the cost of producing a product or service)?
To enable a selling price to be set
To calculate a profit per unit
To value inventory
If the linear equation y = a + bx, were to be drawn on a graph, what would be the gradient of the line?
The gradient of the line would be ‘b’.
In the linear equation y = a + bx, where y is the total cost and x is the total production, what is the fixed cost?
The fixed cost is ‘a’ in the equation
When sampling, what is meant by a ‘sampling frame’?
A sampling frame is a numbered list of all items in a population
What is a ‘semi-variable cost’?
A semi-variable cost is a combination of variable and fixed costs.
What does the sales volume variance measure?

In the linear equation y = a + bx, which is the dependent variable?
The dependent variable is y
What is meant by ‘quota sampling’?
The population is stratified and a sample of each strata is restricted to a fixed number.
What is meant by ‘indirect costs (or overheads)’?
Indirect costs are those costs which cannot be specifically identified with a specific cost unit or cost centre.
In process costing, how are abnormal losses or gains valued?
Abnormal gains and losses are valued at full cost per unit.
If we have an equation relating the total sales revenue to the total advertising spend, which would be the dependent variable?
The dependent variable would be the sales revenue (it depends on the amount of advertising expenditure.)
