Question

Martinez Company’s relevant range of production is 7,500 units to 12,500 units. When it produces and sells 10,000 units, its unit costs are as follows:

Amount Per Unit

Direct materials $ 6.00

Direct labor $ 3.50

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.00

Fixed selling expense $ 3.00

Fixed administrative expense $ 2.00

Sales commissions $ 1.00

Variable administrative expense $ 0.50

If 8,000 units are sold, what is the total amount of variable costs related to the units sold?

Answer 1

$100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If 8,000 units are sold,

Total amount of variable costs related to the units sold:

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable administrative expense + Sales commission

= ($6 × 8,000) + ($3.50 × 8,000) + ($1.50 × 8,000) + ($0.50 × 8,000) + ($1 × 8,000)

= $48,000 + $28,000 + $12,000 + $4,000 + $8,000

= $100,000
