Question
Tempo Company's fixed budget (based on sales of 16,000 units) folllows. Fixed BudgetSales (16,000 units × $212 per unit) 3,392,000Costs Direct materials 368,000Direct labor 688,000Indirect materials 448,000Supervisor salary 168,000Sales commissions 128,000Shipping 240,000Administrative salaries 218,000Depreciation—Office equipment 188,000Insurance 158,000Office rent 168,000Income 620,000 1. Compute total variable cost per unit.
Solution
To compute the total variable cost per unit, we first need to identify which costs are variable. Variable costs are those that change in total in direct proportion to changes in activity. In this case, the variable costs are direct materials, direct labor, indirect materials, sales commissions, and shipping.
Next, we add up all the variable costs:
Direct materials: 688,000 Indirect materials: 128,000 Shipping: $240,000
Total variable costs = 688,000 + 128,000 + 1,872,000
Since the budget is based on sales of 16,000 units, we divide the total variable costs by the number of units to find the variable cost per unit.
Variable cost per unit = Total variable costs / Number of units Variable cost per unit = 117 per unit
So, the total variable cost per unit is $117.
