Based on a predicted level of production and sales of 16,000 units, a company anticipates reporting operating income of $22,000 after deducting variable costs of $96,000 and fixed costs of $10,000. Based on this information, the budgeted amounts of fixed and variable costs for 18,000 units would be:
Variable cost = $108,000
Fixed cost = $10,000
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit = Variable cost for producing 16,000 units / Total number of units
= $96,000 / 16,000 units
= $6
Therefore,
Variable cost (18,000 units) = Units produced * Variable cost per unit
= 18,000 units * $6
= $108,000
As the fixed cost does not vary with the number of units produced, total fixed cost shall remain unchanged.
