d. Total costs per unit are constant.
8. In conventional linear cost volume profit analysis, which of the following assumptions causes the total variable costs and total cost functions to be linear rather than nonlinear?
e. Productivity is constant.
9. A Company's cash flow break-even point would normally be
a. below the Company's conventional linear break-even point.
10. Assuming sales are above the break-even level, the margin of safety multiplied by the contribution margin ratio is equal to
e. b and c.
11. Assuming sales are above the break-even level, the margin of safety multiplied by the contribution margin ratio multiplied by 1-tax rate is equal to
d. the net income after taxes.
The following is a continuation of the
Brace Company problems in the Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 Extra MC questions.
Brace Company produces and sells a single product with budgeted or standard
costs as follows:

d. 652
13. How many units would Brace Company need to produce and sell to generate a before tax profit of $126,000?
a. 1,200
14. How many units would Brace Company need to produce and sell to generate a after tax profit of $126,000?
c. 1,565
15. How many units would Brace Company need to produce and sell to generate an after tax profit equal to 12 percent of sales?
b. 1,000
16. Assume the JR Company has sales that generate a margin of safety of $200,000. If the contribution margin ratio is 30 percent and the tax rate is 40 percent, what would be JR's before tax net income?
b. 60,000
17. What would be JR's after tax net income based on the situation in the question above?
c. 36,000
18. Which of the following represents a criticism of the linear cost volume profit approach from the activity based cost perspective?
b. It assumes that production volume is the only cost driver.
19. Which of the following represents a criticism of the linear cost volume profit approach from the lean enterprise perspective?
d. It ignores quality.
20. The non-linear theoretical cost volume profit model assumes that
a. total revenue increases at a decreasing rate.

The following problem appears in Chapter 11. Assume that a firm produces and sells a single product with a sales price of $10 and unit costs as follows: Direct material = $3.00, Direct labor = $ .25, Variable overhead = $2.00, and Variable selling and administrative cost = $ .75. Total fixed costs are $100,000 for manufacturing and $20,000 for the selling and administrative functions. The tax rate is 40%.
