CHAPTER 13 SHORT-RUN DECISION MAKING: RELEVaNT COSTING 1 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Tactical decisions are short run in nature; they involve choosing among alternatives with an immediate or limited end in view. Strategic decisions involve selecting strategies that yield a long-term competitive advantage. 2. Depreciation is an allocation of a sunk cost. This cost is a past cost and will never differ across alternatives. 3. The salary of the supervisor of an assembly line with excess capacity

CHAPTER 2: RELEVANT REVENUES AND COSTS The primary goal of a firm is to maximize profits. This implies‚ of course‚ that each decision a manager makes is consistent with that goal. Although managers are expected to rely on internally-produced reports‚ such as balance sheets and income statements‚ to help them make decisions‚ most of the information that appears on these statements is period-based rather than decision-based. A balance sheet shows the sum total of a firm’s assets and liabilities

Relevant Costs Defined Relevant costs possess two characteristics: (1) They are future costs and (2) They differ across alternatives. All pending decisions relate to the future; accordingly‚ only future costs can be relevant to decisions. However‚ to be relevant‚ a cost must not only be a future cost but must also differ from one alternative to another. If a future cost is the same for more than one alternative‚ then it has no effect on the decision. Such a cost is irrelevant. The

Relevant Costs and Decision Making 4.16 A. The fixed overhead cost will be the same regardless of which method Regina Corp goes. Based on the analysis of Yoklic‚ they will incur the additional cost of $6 per unit by purchasing the subassemblies versus manufacturing them. B. The $50‚000 that is saved by eliminating the fixed overhead reduces the cost for outsourcing. This will give Yoklic an overall $20‚000 savings for 5‚000 units by purchasing externally versus manufacturing internally

also considering a change in promotional expenditure. This currently amounts to 2% of total revenues and it is estimated that the promotional elasticity of demand is 0.1. It is also estimated that variable costs per student are Rs.60‚000. Questions 1. Why might Mr. Chatterjee’s estimates of the relevant price elasticity not be very reliable? 2. Estimate the effect of the proposed fee increase on the number of Indian student and revenues from these students‚ stating any relevant assumptions. 3

Organizational change is any action or set of actions resulting in a shift in direction or process that affects the way an organization works. Change can be deliberate and planned by leaders within the organization (i.e.‚ shift from inpatient hospital focus to outpatient primary care model)‚ or change can originate outside the organization (i.e.‚ budget cut by Congress) and be beyond its control. Change may affect the strategies an organization uses to carry out its mission‚ the processes

protein consisting of more than one amino acid chain. When the shape‚ the structure or the function of proteins is incorrect‚ it is likely because of some type of change in the sequence of the amino acids or whether a certain amino acid required is present. Mutations are alterations in the nucleotides that change the amino acid sequence within the genotype of an organism; mutations can occur from either insertion or deletions of nucleotides in a protein .
