At Zero Direct Labor Hours in a Flexible Budget Graph

question 93

Multiple Choice

At zero direct labor hours in a flexible budget graph the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $30000. At 15000 direct labor hours a horizontal line drawn from the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $90000. Fixed and variable costs may be expressed as:

• A) $30000 fixed plus $4 per direct labor hour variable.
• B) $30000 fixed plus $6 per direct labor hour variable.
• C) $60000 fixed plus $2 per direct labor hour variable.
• D) $60000 fixed plus $4 per direct labor hour variable.

Definitions:

Binomial Distribution

A probability distribution that summarizes the likelihood that a variable will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters or assumptions.

Normal Distribution

A continuous probability distribution characterized by a symmetric bell-shaped curve, where most observations cluster around the central peak and probabilities for values further away from the mean taper off equally in both directions.

Right-Skewed

Describes a distribution of data where the tail on the right side of the histogram is longer or extends further than the tail on the left side, indicating that the median is less than the mean.

Standard Deviation

A metric that calculates the spread or variability of a dataset in comparison to its average, showing the extent to which the data points deviate.
