1. That must have worked 11,250/6 = 1,875 fewer hours than expected. So the expected/standard hours must have been 41,000 + 1,875 = 42,875 hours. Therefore the standard hours per unit must have been 42,875/12,250 = 3.50 hours 2. I assume is actually said "variable cost per unit plus 20%" It means that the contribution is 20% of cost and therefore the contribution is 20/120 x selling price. You have not said what the question wants, and so I cannot explain the answer!

A company has a single product with selling price of $12 per unit, which is calculated as variable per unit, plus 20%. At an output level of 5,000 units, it makes a loss of $8,000 What is the company's fixed cost? The answer is $18,000 -What does “plus 20%” mean? – How to reach the answer.

1. The cost of the factory department of C appear to have a variable element department upon the number of units produced. The fixed element of the costs step up when 20,000 units or more units are produced. At an activity level of 22,000 units, the fixed element cost is $25,000 The variable cost per unit is constant. Volume of production: 18,000 units is $200,000 22,000 units is $245,000 What would be the total cost for 19,000 units and 21,000 units? Answer is for 19,000 units is $210,000 and for 21,000 units is $235,000 -Workings shown in the book are a bit confusing. Could you please make it simple to understand? 2. A company uses flexed budget. The fixed budget for last month was based on 100% activity and showed direct costs of $100,000. Last month actual direct cost were compared with the flexed budget to show the following: Direct cost: -Actual $93,600 -variance $2,400 (A) What was the actual activity as a % of the fixed budget last month? Answer is 91.2% How to obtain the answer?

1. You know what the fixed cost is for 22,000 units, so the total variable cost is the remainder of the cost. If you divide it by 22,000 then that is the variable cost per unit. It should then be easy to finish it. 2. The standard cost for last month must have been 93600 - 2400 = 91,200. This is 91.2% of the fixed budget of 100,000.

1. At 21,000 units, I do have obtained the answer which is $235,000. However for 19,000 units, I have obtained $215,000 but in the book the answer is $210,000 Could you please clarify? Thanks.

Check for 18,000 units and you will find that the fixed overheads (without the step up) are only 20,000.
