The most logical answer is D
Answer:
$6,500
Explanation:
For computing the estimated fixed cost, we have to determine the variable cost per hour which is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High power cost - low power cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)
= ($20,000 - $11,000) ÷ (12,000 hours - 4,000 hours)
= $9,000 ÷ 8,000 hours
= $1.125
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High power cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $20,000 - (12,000 hours × $1.125)
= $20,000 - $13,500
= $6,500
When actual revenue <u>exceeds</u> what the revenue should have been, the variance is labelled favourable.
Hope that helps!
