Explanation / Answer
Additional amount of fixed cost, MVR 6,000, is added in both January and March costs, because their productions are more than 1,100 units. Therefore, these are considered for calculating variable cost per unit.
Variable cost per unit = Difference in total cost / Difference in units
= (68,200 – 66,600) / (1,400 – 1,200)
= 1,600 / 200
= 8 per unit
Total fixed cost for 1,000 units = February total cost - (February units × Variable cost per unit)
= 58,200 – (900 × 8)
= 58,200 – 7,200
= 51,000
Total cost for 1,000 units = Total fixed cost + Total variable cost
= 51,000 + (1,000 × 8)
= 51,000 + 8,000
= 59,000 (Answer)
