A company produces and sells a single product whose variable cost is $6 per unit. Fixed costs have been absorbed over the normal level of activity of 200,000 units and have been calculated as $2 per unit. The current selling price is $10 per unit. How much profit is made under marginal costing if the company sells 250,000 units? A $500,000 B $600,000 C $900,000 D $1,000,000 Hi, sir I have a question, why the total fixed cost= 2*250000 is incorrect
Because fixed overheads in total should remain fixed (by definition). So since they have been budgeted as being 200,000 x $2 = $400,000 then they should remain at $400,000 regardless of how many units are actually produced.
