City operating license ve output is usually (a) 6. Machine depreciation based on machine hours used 7. Machine operator's hourly wages 8. Cost of required outside inspection of each unit produced

Explanation / Answer

Total variable cost - Varies with production. Variable cost per unit is constant.

Total fixed cost - Fixed in total. Fixed cost per unit Increases with decrease in production and decreases with increase in production.

1. Fixed cost

2. Variable cost

3. Fixed cost

4. Variable cost

5. Fixed cost

6. Variable cost

7. Variable cost

8. Variable cost

Variable electricity cost per machine hour = (Electricity cost at high point - Electrivity cost at low point) / (Volume in machine hours at high point - Volume in machine hours at low point)

= (60,000 - 36,000) / (6,000 - 3,000)

= 24,000 / 3,000

= 8 per unit

Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost

= 60,000 - (6,000*8)

= 12,000

Total variable electricity costs = 4,800 * 8 = 38,400

Fixed electricity costs = 12,000
