Can you please explain why, when calculating mat, labor costs p.u. , and FC, they use only first column (200.000 units)? Because demand is 250.000 units?
Thanks

For overheads they have not only used the first column. The overheads are semi variable and therefore you have to use the high low method to calculate the variable and the fixed overheads.
The high-low method is revision of Paper F2 and is revised in chapter 12 of our free lecture notes together with the free lecture that goes with it.
thanx
