Explanation / Answer

(a)

(b)

Calculation of variable cost per unit

Variable cost per unit excluding maintenance and utilities = ( 41736-1332-2664 )/4440 = 8.5

Variable cost for maintenance per unit = 1332/4440 = .3

Variable cost for utilities = 2664/4440 = .6

(c)

Variable cost = (41736/4440)*7400 = 69560

Fixed cost = 15244

Total = 69560+15244 = 84804
