At an activity level of 8,400 machine-hours in a month, Falks Corporation’s total variable production engineering cost is $732,480 and its total fixed production engineering cost is $180,400. What would be the total 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.

Answer:

The right response is "$107.7".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Total variable production eng. cost

= $732,480

Total fixed production eng. cost

= $180,400

Now,

Variable cost per machine hour will be:

= [tex]\frac{732,480}{8,400}[/tex]

= [tex]87.2[/tex] ($)

Fixed cost per unit will be:

= [tex]\frac{180,400}{8,800}[/tex]

= [tex]20.5[/tex] ($)

hence,

Total production cost will be:

= [tex]Total \ variable \ production \ eng. \ cost+Fixed \ cost[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

= [tex]87.2+20.5[/tex]

= [tex]107.7[/tex] ($)
