I only have the current edition of the Revision Kit and so I am not sure which questions they will be because the questions change.

The question wants you to calculate the total cost at the 77% activity level. Materials are obviously a variable cost and are $2,000 for 1% Labour is obviously a variable cost also and is $1,500 for 1% Production overheads are semi-variable and so you need to use the high-low method. Other overheads are obviously a fixed cost and so are $40,000 at all levels.
