At an activity level of 8,400 machine-hours in a month, Curt Corporation's total variable production engineering cost is $732,480 and its total fixed production engineering cost is $180,400. What would be the production engineering cost per machine-hour, both fixed and variable, at an activity level of 8,800 machine-hours in a month? Assume that this level of activity is within the relevant range. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
At activity level of 8,400 machine-hours:
Variable Production Engineering Cost = $732,480
Fixed Production Engineering Cost = $180,400
Variable Production Engineering Cost per machine-hour = Variable
Production Engineering Cost / Number of machine-hours
Variable Production Engineering Cost per machine-hour = $732,480 /
8,400
Variable Production Engineering Cost per machine-hour = $87.20
At activity level of 8,800 machine-hours:
Variable Production Engineering Cost per machine-hour =
$87.20
Fixed Production Engineering Cost = $180,400
Variable Production Engineering Cost = Variable Production
Engineering Cost per machine-hour * Number of machine-hours
Variable Production Engineering Cost = $87.20 * 8,800
Variable Production Engineering Cost = $767,360
Total Production Engineering Cost = Variable Production
Engineering Cost + Fixed Production Engineering Cost
Total Production Engineering Cost = $767,360 + $180,400
Total Production Engineering Cost = $947,760
Total Production Engineering Cost per machine-hour = Total
Production Engineering Cost / Number of machine-hours
Total Production Engineering Cost per machine-hour = $947,760 /
8,800
Total Production Engineering Cost per machine-hour = $107.70
