Answer:

(a). Total variable Cost = $2,890,000

Total variable Cost Per Unit = $289

(b). Variable Cost Markup Percentage = 12.46%

(c). Selling Price Per Unit = $325

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

a). Total Fixed Cost = Selling and Administrative Expenses + Factory Overhead

= $140,000 + $350,000 = $490,000

Fixed Cost Per Unit = Total Fixed Cost ÷ Cost of Produced and Selling Units

= $490,000 ÷ 10,000 = $49

Total variable Cost Per Unit = Fixed Cost Per Unit + Variable Cost Per Unit

= $49 + $240 = $289

Total variable Cost = Cost of Produced and Selling Units × Total Cost Per Unit

= 10,000 × $289 = $2,890,000

b). Desired Profit = Invested Assets × 30%

= $1,200,000 × 30÷100 = $360,000

Variable Cost Markup Percentage = Desired Profit ÷ Total Cost

=$360,000 ÷ $2,890,000 = 0.1246 = 12.46%

c). Selling Price Per Unit = (1 + Variable Cost Markup Percentage) × Total Cost Per Unit

= (1 + 12.46%) × $289

= 1.1246 × $289

= $325

Which of the following is an example of a variable cost?

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Utilities

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary proportionately with the changes in production level. Should production level rise, variable costs increases. Variable costs form the majority of the direct cost of production.

Unlike fixed costs, the monthly bill for variable costs will keep fluctuating. In this scenario, utilities represent the variable cost. Expenses on electricity, water and other consumables will vary from time to time. With a high level of production, consumption of power and water will be high.

Rent and insurance cost will remain the same regardless of production level. A professional fee is an overhead expense. It is not an input in the production process.

The amount of interest expense = $270 x 4 = $1,080

Sky Mountain's adjusting entry at December 31:

Debit Interest expense $1,080
