This document defines key concepts related to costs in economics. It discusses different types of costs businesses face, including fixed costs that do not vary with production and variable costs that change with output levels. The document also explains break-even analysis, which is a technique that determines the sales volume needed for total revenue to equal total costs. It involves graphing total revenue, total costs, and fixed costs lines to find the break-even point. The summary defines several terms used in break-even analysis, like contribution, margin of safety, and profit-volume ratio.

Your parent or spouse is older now and has reached the time of life where their world becomes smaller. They spend more time at home and are less inclined to go out on the town. Home becomes almost their entire world.
A lecture I gave, back in 2012, to postgraduate executive students on the Engineering and Technology Management Masters Programme at Bogazici University. Albeit a little late for "Star Wars Day", which was on the 4th of May, it seemed an opportune occasion to share.
Marginal costing is a costing technique wherein the marginal cost, i.e. variable cost is charged to units of cost, while the fixed cost for the period is completely written off against the contribution.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Concepts of Cost
Cost simply means cost of production.
It is the expenses incurred in the production
of goods.
Thus it includes all expenses from the time
the raw material are brought till the finished
products reach the wholesaler.
3. Continue …
The cost concept which are relevant to
business operation and decision can be
grouped on the basis of their purpose under
two overlapping categories:
1. Concept used for accounting purpose
2. Concept used in economies analysis of the
business
4. Types of Cost
There are several types of costs.
1. Money cost
2. Real cost
3. Opportunity cost
4. Sunk cost
5. Incremental cost
6. Differential cost
7. Explicit cost
8. Implicit cost
9. Accounting cost
10. Economic cost
11. Social cost
12. Private cost
5. Fixed Cost
Fixed cost are those costs which do not vary
with the volume of production.
Even if the production is zero, a firm will have to
incur fixed costs.
Examples are rent, interest, depreciation,
insurance, salaries etc.
It is also called supplementary costs, capacity
costs or period costs or overhead costs.
6. Variable Cost
Variable costs are those costs which change with
the quantity of production.
When the output increases, variable cost also
increases and when the output decreases, the
variable cost also decreases.
Examples are materials, wages, power, stores
etc.
Variable costs are also known as prime costs or
direct costs.
7. Business Cost
Business cost include all the expenses which
are incurred to carry out a business.
These cost concepts are used for calculating
business profits and losses and for filling
returns fro income-tax and also for other
legal purposes.
8. Full Cost
The concept of full costs, includes business
costs, opportunity costs and normal profits.
9. Total Cost
Total cost is the sum of total fixed cost and
total variable cost.
In other words it is the aggregate money cost
of production of a commodity.
10. Average Cost
Average cost is the cost per unit of output.
That is the total cost divided by number of
units produced.
Average cost = total average fixed cost + total
average variable cost
11. Marginal Cost
Marginal cost is the additional cost to total
cost when an additional unit is produced.
12. Breakeven Analysis
BEA is a technique that helps decision
makers understand the relationships among
sales volume, costs and revenues in any
organization.
It is graphical method of analyzing and also
known as Cost Volume Profit (CVP) analysis.
In this method, Break-even Point (BEP) i.e.
the level of sales volume to which total
revenues equal total costs is determined.
13. Assumptions under BEA
1. It assumes that the total cost is divided into two categories
i.e. i) fixed cost and ii) variable cost. It totally ignores the
semi-variable costs.
2. Fixed cost remains constant throughout the volume of
production.
3. The selling price if the product is constant throughout the
sale.
4. The variable cost changes proportionally (at constant rate)
with volume of production.
5. All the goods produced are sold, i.e. volume of production
and sales are equal or there is no closing stock.
6. The firm is producing only one type of product. In case of
multi-product firm, the product mix is stable.
14. Applications of BEA. . .
1. Break-even analysis is useful in determining
optimum level of output, below which it is not
profitable for the firm to produce its products.
2. To determine minimum cost for a given level of
output.
3. To determine impact of changes in cost or
selling price on break-even analysis.
4. Managerial decision on adding or dropping
product is done by break-even analysis.
15. . . .Applications of BEA
5. It also helps in choosing a product mix when
there ia a limiting factor.
6. Break-even analysis shoes likely profits and
losses at various levels of production.
7. It is useful in budgeting and profit planning.
8. Break-even chart portrays margin of safety.
9. It is a decision making tool in the hands of
management.
16. Limitations of Break-Even
Analysis. . .
1. The analysis is based on fixed costs,
variable costs and total revenue. Any
change in one variable affects break-even
point.
2. Semi-variable costs and depreciation are
not accounted which is significant in any
manufacturing firm.
3. Multiple charts are to be produced in case
of multi-product firm.
17. . . .Limitations of Break-Even
Analysis
4. The effect of technological development,
managerial effectiveness also determines
profitability. These factors are not
considered in break-even chart.
5. The break-even chart is based on fixed cost
concept and hence holds good for a short
period.
6. Break-even analysis is not suitable under
fluctuating business environment.

19. Terminologies used in BEA. . .
Fixed Costs (FC): Costs that remain the same
regardless of volume of output.
Cost of land/building/machinery, top
management salary, taxes on property,
depreciation, insurance etc. are FC.
Variable Costs (VC): Costs which are dependent
on volume of production.
Cost of materials, wages, packaging costs,
transportation of finished products etc. are VC.
20. . . .Terminologies used in BEA. . .
Total Costs:
Total costs = Fixed costs + Variable costs
Total Revenue (TR):
Total revenue = Selling price per unit ×
Number of units sold
Profit:
Profit = Total revenue – Total cost
21. . . .Terminologies used in BEA. . .
The point at which total cost line and total
revenue line intersect is known as break-even
point.
Break-even Point in terms of sales value
(Rs.):
BEP(Rs.) = [Total fixed cost / (Total revenue –
Total variable cost)] × Selling price
Break-even Point in terms of quantity
(units):
BEP(units) = [Total fixed cost / (Selling price per
unit - Variable cost per unit)]
22. . . .Terminologies used in BEA. . .
Margin of Safety:
Margin of safety = Actual (Budgeted) sales –
Sales at B.E.P.
If the margin of safety is small, drop in
production capacity may decrease the profits
considerably.
There should be reasonable margin of safety
otherwise it may be disastrous for the
organization.
Low margin of safety is the indication of high
fixed costs.
23. . . .Terminologies used in BEA. .
.
Angle of incidence (ϴ): It is the angle at which
total revenue line intersects the total cost line.
Large angle of incidence means higher profits.
Small angle of incidence means less profits are
being made at less favorable conditions.
Contribution: It is the difference between the
selling price per unit and variable cost per unit.
Contribution = [Selling price per unit – Variable cost
per unit]
OR
Contribution = [Fixed cost per unit + Profit per unit]
24. . . .Terminologies used in BEA
Profit Volume Ratio (P/V Ratio): It is the
measure of profitability. It is also known as
contribution margin ratio.
P/V ratio = (Contribution / Total sales
revenue) × 100
P/V Ratio = Change in profit / Change in sales
P/V Ratio = Change in contribution / Change
in sales
