How do you calculate variable unit costs and total annual costs?

Annual units sold, 1000. Raw materials annual cost 650. Building rent annual cost 9000. If sales volume increased to 6000 units and 8000 units, what is the total annual cost and unit cost for fixed varible? ---------------------------- Cost per unit of raw material=650/1000= 0.65 Fixed cost(Rent)=9000 Fixed cost per unit= 9000/1000= 9.00 If the sales volume increases to 6000 units, then total cost= 12900 and cost per unit = 2.150 Variable cost+ fixed cost= (0.65*6000) + 9000= 12900 / 6000 = 2.15 If the sales volume increases to 8000 units, then total cost= 14200 and cost per unit = 1.775 (0.65*8000) + 9000= 14200 / 8000 = 1.775

Fixed costs expressed on a per unit basis vary inversely with changes in activity True or false?

True, because when fixed costs are viewed on a per unit basis and as activity level rises we will see a decrease in the average cost. Conversely, fix costs increases per unit as the activity level falls. An example would be the $10,000 rental cost on a machine that assembles 5,000 units which has an average cost of $2/ per unit. Conversely, if the machine only produces 2500 units the average cost will be $4/ per unit.


Which cost always declines as output increases?

The cost that always declines as output increases is the average fixed cost (AFC). As production increases, the total fixed costs are spread over a larger number of units, resulting in a lower average fixed cost per unit. Unlike variable costs, which may increase with output, fixed costs remain constant regardless of the level of production, leading to a continuous decline in AFC as output rises.


A company is producing 500 units of output Its average variable costs are 2.00 and its average fixed costs are 50 What is the total cost?

Total cost = variable cost + fixed cost fixed cost = 50 fixed cost per unit = 50 / 500 = .1 total cost = 2 + .1 = 2.1 per unit

Do fixed cost change per unit?

Yes fixed cost remain fixed in overall amount but it varies as per unit for example if one unit produced fixed cost 50000 per unit fixed cost 50000 but if 2 units produced fixed cost remains 50000 but per unit fixed cost changed to 25000 (50000/2).


Does per unit fixed cost vary?

Yes fixed cost varies between units as total overall fixed cost amount remains same but increase in number of units change the per unit fixed cost for example fixed cost of 10 will be 10 per unit in case of 1 unit produce and fixed cost per unit will be 1 in case of 10 units produced.

What is a cost which remains constant in total regardless of the change in the activity leve but on a per unit basis it varies with the level of activity is called a?

This type of cost is known as a fixed cost. Fixed costs remain constant in total regardless of changes in the level of activity, such as rent or salaries. However, when expressed on a per unit basis, these costs vary inversely with the activity level; as production increases, the fixed cost per unit decreases, and vice versa.


As production increases what should happen to the fixed costs per unit?

decrease

What happens as the level of activity decrease within the relevant range?

Although fixed cost per unit decreases with increases in activity levels, total fixed cost is not affected by changes in the activity level within the relevant range.

Total cost = variable cost + fixed cost fixed cost = 50 fixed cost per unit = 50 / 500 = .1 total cost = 2 + .1 = 2.1 per unit


How to calculate total variable cost per unit?

Easiest way: Total costs per unit - fixed costs per unit = variable cost per unit. Also recatting into accounting.


Contribution margin per unit?

Contribution margin per unit is the contribution which contribute by sales of one unit for the recovery of fixed cost after fulfiling the variable cost of product.
