    Hi there I am posting a question of fixed cost for everyone to give there input

    Question: A company has a single product with a selling price of $12 per unit which is calculated as variable cost per unit plus 20%. At an output of 5000 units it makes a loss of $8000.00

    What is the company’s fixed cost.

    REMEMBER: Fixed Costs= Contribution – Profit

    contribution=12*20%*5,000=12,000
    fixed cost=contribution-profit=12,000-(-8,000)=20,000.ans

    Your answer is incorrect the ans should be $18000.00
    Solution
    Variable Cost = You already have 100+20=120
    Therefore your variable cost is 120/12=10

    Contribution = selling price – variable costs
    = 12-10=2
    fixed cost = contribution -profit
    (5000×2)- (-8000)
    10000+8000
    18000
