How to find out the vc and fc
In this question they have used the high cost and the low cost. Why sir this? We should use the quantity nah… so please explain.December 9, 2014 at 7:53 am #219592It is the normal high/low rule – it is the rule you always apply to question like this.
Have you watched the lecture? It is the lecture that goes with chapter 4 of the course notes (and repeated again as part of the lecture that goes with chapter 17).

VC per unit: $31 per unit

Please help me sir.
December 26, 2014 at 4:04 pm #221660The variable cost will be 10% higher (so 31 + (10% x 31))
The fixed cost will be 100% higher (so 5760 + (100% x 5760))
Then there should be no problem 🙂

But answer not matched with BPP text book.December 29, 2014 at 10:35 am #221753In that case either you have mistyped the question, or BPP have made a mistake. ( I did assumed that when you said ‘estimate cost of producing 100% units’ that you actually means 100 units 🙂 )
The correct answer is as per my last reply, and comes to: $14930
