Variable cost = Total Cost/ fixed cost
Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost / total number of units manufactured
Total cost are calculated by adding variable cost and fixed cost FC+VC=TC
contribution margin = sales - variable cost
Easiest way: Total costs per unit - fixed costs per unit = variable cost per unit. Also recatting into accounting.
A variable cost is a cost that is not constant. Variable costs can include the materials used in order to manufactor an item. If the costs vary from month to month when supplies are ordered, this would be a variable cost. They can be calculated by calculating the number of materials needed and then dividing by the units produced, to determine what your cost was in order to manufactor the item.
Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost / total number of units manufactured
To calculate the Total Cost without Total variable cost, one should estimate for the variables or substitute for the variables with a variable such as X or Y and then solve for the approximate total cost.
Variable cost is cost that varies with amount of production. In order to classify this cost, you must be able to decide if the cost can be directly related to the product. If it can, then calculate the total cost then divide it by the number of units produced.
Fixed cost / (selling price - Variable cost per unit) --> Fixed cost ----------------------------------------------- (Selling Price - Variable Cost Per Unit)
Total Costs = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost soVariable Cost = Total Costs - Fixed Cost.
Total cost are calculated by adding variable cost and fixed cost FC+VC=TC
Total variable cost is typically the sum of all variable labor, variable materials, and variable overhead expenses.
Calculate the fixed cost, variable costs, and break-even point for the program suggested in Appendix D.
VAPCO = sales-variable cost/total employee cost.
Total Variable Cost divided by Quantity of Output
contribution margin = sales - variable cost
Pretty much the same as you would calculate the cost for any business. You would add the fixed cost and the variable cost.
