Answer:

The question is incomplete, below is the complete question and accompanying data:

Martinez Company's relevant range of production is 8,500 units to 13,500 units. When it produces and sells 11,000 units, its unit costs are as follows:

Amount per Unit

Direct materials $7.00

Direct labor $4.50

Variable manufacturing overhead $1.40

Fixed manufacturing overhead $5.00

Fixed selling expense $4.00

Fixed administrative expense $2.10

Sales commissions $1.10

Variable administrative expense $0.55

What total incremental cost will Martinez incur if it increases production from 11,000 to 11,001 units? (Round answers to 2 decimal places)

Answer

total incremental cost = $13.45

Step-by-step explanation:

in the case of an increase in production quantity by 1 unit, (11,000 to 11,0001), only the variable costs will increase, because variable costs are those costs that increase as the unit of output/production increases.

The variable costs here are:

Direct material = $7.00

Direct labor = $4.50

variable manufacturing overhead = $1.40

variable administrative expenses =$0.55

Total incremental cost = 7.00 + 4.50 + 1.40 + 0.55 = $13.45

Therefore, total incremental cost = $13.45
