Question

Kubin Company’s relevant range of production is 16,000 to 24,500 units. When it produces and sells 20,250 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:

  

If 16,000 units are produced, what is the average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced?

6. If 24,500 units are produced, what is the average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced?

7. If 16,000 units are produced, what is the total amount of fixed manufacturing overhead incurred to support this level of production?

8. If 24,500 units are produced, what is the total amount of fixed manufacturing overhead incurred to support this level of production?

(Round per unit values to 2 decimal places.)

Amount per Unit Direct materials $ 7.70 Direct labor $ 4.70 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2.20 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.70 Fixed selling expense $ 4.20 Fixed administrative expense $ 3.20 Sales commissions $ 1.70 Variable administrative expense $ 1.20

Explanation / Answer

Answers

They remain same ‘per unit’ but changes in totality.

They change ‘per unit’ but remain same in totality.

Fixed cost will remains same for the level of units produced between 16,000 units to 24,500 units.

Total amount of fixed manufacturing overhead incurred to support 16,000 units level of production = $ 115,425.00

Total amount of fixed manufacturing overhead incurred to support 24,500 units level of production = $ 115,425.00

---Note—For both levels- 16000 units and 24500 units, Fixed manufacturing overhead will remain same (in totality) at $ 115,425.00
