Question

Maryland Incorporated produces toys. Total manufacturing costs are​ $360,000 when​ 50,000 toys are produced. Of this​ amount, total variable costs are​ $140,000. What are the total production costs when​ 85,000 toys are​ produced?

Answer 1

$458,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total production cost in case of 85,000 toys are produced

The fixed cost is

= Total manufacturing cost - total variable cost

= $360,000 - $140,000

= $220,000

And, the variable cost per unit is

= $140,000 ÷ 50,000 toys

= $2.8

So for 85,000 toys, the total production cost is

= Fixed cost + Variable cost × variable cost per unit

= $220,000 + 85,000 toys × $2.8

= $220,000 + $238,000

= $458,000
