$926,100 |
Cost of sales is a variable cost.
Selling and administrative costs:
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity
= ($441,000 - $430,200) ÷ (7,000 units - 6,000 units)
= $10,800 ÷ 1,000 units
= $10.80 per unit
Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost element
= $441,000 - ($10.80 per unit × 7,000 units)
= $441,000 - $75,600
= $365,400
Selling and administrative costs:
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity
= ($441,000 - $430,200) ÷ (7,000 units - 6,000 units)
= $10,800 ÷ 1,000 units
= $10.80 per unit
Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost element
= $441,000 - ($10.80 per unit × 7,000 units)
= $441,000 - $75,600
= $365,400

The best estimate of the total variable cost per unit is:
$141.00 | |
→ | $80.10 |
$69.30 | |
$132.30 |
Cost of sales:
Because cost of sales is a variable cost, there are several ways to compute the variable cost per unit. Here is one:
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity
= ($485,100 - $415,800) ÷ (7,000 units - 6,000 units)
= $69,300 ÷ 1000 units
= $69.30 per unit
Selling and administrative costs:
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity
= ($441,000 - $430,200) ÷ (7,000 units - 6,000 units)
= $10,800 ÷ 1000 units
= $10.80 per unit
Total cost per unit = $69.30 per unit + $10.80 per unit = $80.10

The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 6,300 units are sold is:
→ | $450,450 |
$518,490 | |
$121,590 | |
$66,780 |
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $151.60 per unit - $80.10 per unit
= $71.50 per unit
Total contribution margin = Contribution margin per unit × Unit sales
= $71.50 per unit × 6,300 units
= $450,450
= $151.60 per unit - $80.10 per unit
= $71.50 per unit
Total contribution margin = Contribution margin per unit × Unit sales
= $71.50 per unit × 6,300 units
= $450,450
