    Hi,

    Trying to figure out how example given on the above page in current Kaplan book ties out if rather than applying 4% increase to cost per unit but applying increase in cost to total variable costs for product C in 2004?

    Difference in total cost is 203,674 per the book to 209,664 per my calculation. Can you help me out what I’m missing here?

    672,000 total cost * .75 = 504,000
    504,000 * .40 = 201,600 total variable cost 2004

    cost increased by 4%

    201,600 * 1.04 = 209,664

    Appreciate your help.

    thanks,

    ed

    I don’t have that book so it’s hard to investigate.

    It’s about a 1% increase. It’s not for a quarter year is it?
