2. $153 per set
3. I would expect the average product cost per set to increase.
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Enter the dollar amount of each cost item under the appropriate headings
COST BEHAVIOUR
VARIABLE FIXED
Direct labor $118,000 $0
Advertising $0 $50,000
Factory supervision $0 $40,000
Property taxes, factory building$0 $3,500
Sales commissions$80,000 $0
Insurance, factory $0 $2,500
Depreciation, administrative office equipment$0 $4,000
Lease cost, factory equipment$0 $12,000
Indirect materials, factory $6,000 $0
Depreciation, factory building $0 $10,000
Administrative office supplies (billing) $3,000 $0
Administrative office salaries $0 $60,000
Direct materials used (wood, bolts, etc.)$94,000 $0
Utilities, factory $20,000 $0
TOTAL COSTS $321,000 $182,000
SELLING OR ADMINISTRATIVE
COST
Direct labor $0
Advertising $50,000
Factory supervision $0
Property taxes, factory building $0
Sales commissions $80,000
Insurance, factory $0
Depreciation, administrative office equipment $4,000
Lease cost, factory equipment $0
Indirect materials, factory $0
Depreciation, factory building $0
Administrative office supplies (billing) $3,000
Administrative office salaries$60,000
Direct materials used (wood, bolts, etc.) $0
Utilities, factory $0
TOTAL COSTS $197,000
PRODUCT COST
DIRECT INDIRECT
Direct labor $118,000 $0
Advertising $0 $0
Factory supervision $0 $40,000
Property taxes, factory building$0 $3,500
Sales commissions $0 $0
Insurance, factory $0 $2,500
Depreciation, administrative office equipment $0 $0
Lease cost, factory equipment$0 $12,000
Indirect materials, factory$0 $6,000
Depreciation, factory building $0 $10,000
Administrative office supplies (billing) $0 $0
Administrative office salaries $0 $0
Direct materials used (wood, bolts, etc.)$94,000 $0
Utilities, factory$0 $20,000
TOTAL COSTS $212,000 $94,000
Therefore the dollar amount of each cost item under the appropriate headings will be :
COST BEHAVIOUR
Variable Fixed
$321,000 $182,000
SELLING OR ADMINISTRATIVE
Cost $197,000
PRODUCT COST
Direct Indirect
$212,000 $94,000
2. Computation to determine the average product cost of one patio set.
Using this formula
Average product cost of one patio set =(Direct costs +Indirect costs)/Capacity set per year
Let plug in the formula
Average product cost of one patio set=($212,000+$94,000)/2,000 sets
Average product cost of one patio set =$306,000/2,000 sets
Average product cost of one patio set = $153 per set
Therefore The Average product cost of one patio set will be $153 per set
3. In a situation were the production drops I Would expect the average product cost per set to INCREASE, reason been that the fixed costs would extend over few units which will inturn cause the average cost per unit to increase.
