Question

During 20x5, Medallion Industries anticipates production of 20,000 units, budgeted variable costs of $85,000, and budgeted fixed costs of $45,000. If 15,000 units are actually produced, what is the expected total cost

Answer 1

Total cost= $108,750

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

For 20,000 units:

Total budgeted variable cost= $85,000

Total budgeted fixed costs= $45,000

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 85,000/20,000= $4.25

The fixed costs remain constant at a total level.

Now, we can determine the total cost for 15,000 units:

Total cost= 4.25*15,000 + 45,000

Total cost= $108,750
