Required:
Prepare an answer sheet with the following column headings:


List the different costs associated with the company down the left column (under Name of the Cost). Then place an X under each heading that describes the type of cost involved. Several column headings may have an X under them for a single cost. (That is, a cost may be a fixed cost, a period cost, and a sunk cost; you would place an X under each of these column headings opposite the cost.) Under the variable cost column, list only those costs that would be variable with respect to the number of guitars that are produced and sold.
