assume a company incurs 100,000 for total variable costs and 150000 for total fixed costs to produce 10000 units. what would the total cost be to produce 12000 units?
Total costs | 10000 units | 12000 units |
Variable costs | 100000 | 120000 |
Fixed costs | 150000 | 150000 |
Total cost | 250000 | 270000 |
Total cost be to produce 12000 units=(12000*10)+150000= | ||
270000 |
Total cost Per unit | 10000 units | 12000 units |
Variable costs | 10 | 10.00 |
Fixed costs | 15 | 12.50 |
Total cost | 25 | 22.50 |
Total cost be to produce 12000 units= | ||
12000*22.5= | 270000 |
Variable costs remain constant per unit of production ,but the total variable costs vary in direct proportion to the total no. of units produced. |
here, at the rate of $100000/10000 units = $ 10 per unit produced. |
Fixed costs remain fixed over a certain range of production volume, but per unit fixed cost decreases as more & more no.of units are produced. |
here, the total is fixed at $ 150000--- at 10000 units level, per unit fixed cost is $ 150000/10000 units = $ 15 & at 12000 units production level,per unit fixed cost is $ 150000/12000 units = $ 12.5 |
