When making a decision using incremental analysis consider the Blank______.

-change in sales dollars resulting specifically from the decision -change in cost resulting specifically from the decision

When a company produces and sells multiple products ______.

-each product most likely has a unique contribution margin -a change in the sales mix will most likely change the break-even point -each product most likely has different costs

A company with a high ratio of fixed costs:

-is more likely to experience a loss when sales are down than a company with mostly variable costs. -is more likely to experience greater profits when sales are up than a company with mostly variable costs.

A 15% increase in sales resulted in a 40% increase in net income for Company A and a 60% increase in net income for Company B. Based on this, which company has the greater operating leverage?

Company B

After reaching the break-even point, a company's net operating income will increase by the

False

True or false: Knowledge of previous sales is necessary when using incremental analysis to evaluate a change in profits.

False

True or false: Without knowing the future, it is best to have a cost structure with high variable costs.

Margin of safety

The relative proportions in which a company's products are sold is referred to as

Sales Mix

Total sales

True or false: The sales mix must be taken into consideration when calculating the break-even point for more than one product due to different selling prices, costs, and contribution margins among the products.
