Question

At an activity level of 3,000 units, North Corporation's total variable cost is $15,000 and its total fixed cost is $20,000. For the activity level of 3,500 units, compute the variable cost per unit.

Answer 1

Answer:

$5 per unit.

Explanation:

At an activity level of 3,000 units, we have:

Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost / Units produced = $15,000 / 3,000 = $5

Since the variable cost per unit must be equal at both lowest and highest level of activities, theerefore, the variable cost per unit at 3,500 is also $5 per unit.
