Last month, when 10,000 units of a product were manufactured, the cost per unit was $60. At this level of activity, variable costs are 50% of total unit costs. If 10,500 units are manufactured next month and cost behavior patterns remain unchanged the:A. total variable cost will remain unchanged.B. fixed costs will increase in total.C. variable cost per unit will increase.D. total cost per unit will decrease.

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

10,000 units of a product were manufactured, the cost per unit was $60. At this level of activity, variable costs are 50% of total unit costs.

Total cost= 10,000*60= 600,000

Variable cost= 60*0.5= 30

Total variable cost= 30*10,000= 300,000

Total fixed cost= 300,00

A. total variable cost will remain unchanged. False: The total variable cost varies according to production.

B. fixed costs will increase in total. False: fixed costs remain the same in relevant ranges.

C. variable cost per unit will increase. False: in unitary levels, variable cost remains constant. It only changes when computed the totality.

D. The total cost per unit will decrease. True: because of the fixed costs gets divided by a larger amount of units.

Total variable cost= 10,500*30= 315,000

fixed costs= 300,000

Total cost= 615,000

Unitary cost= 615,000/10,500= $58.57
