Answer: (b.) variable costs of $57,240 and $44,400 of fixed costs
Explanation:
Given:
7,600 units of production
$38,000 for direct labor
$2,280 for electric power
Total fixed costs are $44,400
We'll compute Variable Cost using the following formula :
Variable cost = [tex][\frac{(Budget for direct labor + Budget for electric power)}{Units of production}] \times Increased units of production[/tex]
Variable cost = [tex][\frac{(38000 + 2280)}{7600}] \times 10800[/tex]
Variable cost = $57,240
Fixed cost = $44,440
