Non product-specific costs have also increased significantly.

Management is now considering using Direct Product Profitability (DPP).

Select ALL that apply.

  1. DPP should result in improved management of storage space.
  2. DPP should result in improved supplier relationships.
  3. DPP should result in improved pricing decisions.
  4. DPP requires non product-specific costs to be apportioned rather than allocated.
  5. DPP provides summary information on the profitability of each customer group.

Kaizen costing is being used by an organization to gradually reduce the unit cost of one of its products in order to achieve a 20% mark up on the product's cost.

The selling price of the product must be $72 per unit and this selling price has been maintained for two years.

Two years ago the product's cost was $3 per unit more than its selling price. Kaizen costing has achieved an 8% reduction from the previous period's unit cost in each of the past two years. The organization expects to continue to achieve the same rate of cost reduction next year.

Which of the following statements provides an accurate analysis of the extent to which Kaizen costing has been successful in achieving the required unit cost for the product?

  1. Kaizen costing has successfully achieved the necessary cost reduction.
  2. The current cost is $63.00 per unit and the required unit cost will be achieved next year.
  3. Kaizen costing has not yet achieved the required unit cost of $57.60 because a greater rate of reduction in costs was needed.

the correct answer to q8 is b. explanation since the mule app has a dependency, it is necessary to include project modules and dependencies to make sure the app will run successfully on the runtime on any other machine. source code of the component that the mule app is dependent of does not need to be included in the exported jar file, because the source code is not being used while executing an app. compiled code is being used instead.
