Chapter 2, Problem 2.19E

Classification of costs, merchandising sector. Band Box Entertainment (BBE) operates a large store in Atlanta, Georgia. The store has both a movie (DVD) section and a music (CD) section. BBE reports revenues for the movie section separately from the music section.

Classify each cost item (A–H) as follows:

  1. a. Direct or indirect (D or I) costs of the total number of DVDs sold.
  2. b. Variable or fixed (V or F) costs of how the total costs of the movie section change as the total number of DVDs sold changes. (If in doubt, select on the basis of whether the total costs will change substantially if there is a large change in the total number of DVDs sold.)

You will have two answers (D or I; V or F) for each of the following items:

Cost Item D or I V or F
A. Annual retainer paid to a video distributor  
B. Cost of store manager’s salary  
C. Costs of DVDs purchased for sale to customers  
D. Subscription to DVD Trends magazine  
E. Leasing of computer software used for financial budgeting at the BBE store
