    Got really confused as what was going on , also wonder if my calculator is Ok
    Q
    Activity levels 16000 2200
    Total Costs 135000 170 000

    once production reaches 17000 a cost of 5000 is applied
    Calculate the Total cost at 20000 units

    What I did and where I got confused

    Worked out the Variable cost

    22000 170000
    -16000 – 135000
    =6000 =35000

    35000/6000 =5.83 ( Should I have rounded down?)

    Finding the Fixed Costs 16000 x 5.83 = £ 93,280
    22000 x 5.83 £128 260
    Cost at 20000 = 20000 x .5.83 116,600

    Fixed costs = TC 135000 – VC 93280 =41720
    TC 170000 – VC 128260 =41740 ? there is a discrepancy of 20??????

    To find the TC for 20000 unites at 5.83 Would be
    Fixed cost + Variable + 5000
    When I do this I get 41720 +116,600 +5000 = 163,320

    the answers available were 163.000
    and 160.000
    could you tell me the correct calculation
    Also is there a relationship between the variable cost and the added 5000

    Thanks Charlotte
