Answer:

variable cost per bushel = $0.18848

total fixed costs = $6,652

Explanation:

we can use the high-low method of accounting to determine the variable and fixed costs:

  • highest activity cost = $25,500
  • highest activity level = 100,000 bushels

  • lowest activity cost = $7,500 (*doesn't make sense to use $75,000)
  • lowest activity level = 4,500

variable cost per unit = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity units - lowest activity units)

variable cost per unit = ($25,500 - $7,500) / (100,000 - 4,500) = $18,000 / 95,500 bushels = $0.18848 per bushel, since the quantities are large, we cannot round up

fixed costs = highest activity cost - (variable cost x highest activity units)

fixed costs = $25,500 - ($0.18848 x 100,000) = $6,652

Answer: The answer is $8 per yard

Explanation:

Using high and low cost method

Since a bushel is 8 gallons of dry corn

The overhead cost at high output =$25,500

The overhead cost at low output =75,000

The production volume at high output = 100,000 bushel

The production volume at low output = 4,500 bushel

Total sales = 8 × 100,000 = 800,000

Total sales = 8 × 4,500 = 36,000

Bushel. Total sales

High output. 100,000. 800,000

Low output. 4,500. 36,000

------------------ ---------------

95,500. 800,000

---------------- ------------------

Variable cost per yard = 764,000/95,500

=$8 per yard

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

$61

Explanation:

The computation of unit product cost for the month under absorption costing is shown below:-

Unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable Manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing cost

= $18 + $10 + $4 + ($255,200 ÷ 8,800)

= $61

Therefore for computing the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing we simply applied the above formula.

Since he is very much fond of the peanut butter, the demand will remain constant. At the same time, after reading about the future unavailability of the peanut butter and the increase in the price of it, the demand for the peanut butter will rise the present day.
