Production (units)               2,000             3,000

Production cost ($)             11,100           12,900

What is the budget cost allowance for an activity level of 4,000 units?

                                             Units                            $

High activity                        3,000                      12,900

Low activity                         2,000                      11,100

Increase                              1,000                      1,800

Variable cost per unit =$1,800/1,000=$1.80 per unit

Fixed cost, substituting in high activity = $12,900 - (3,000 x $1.80) =$7,500

Budget cost allowance for 4,000 units:                                                      $

Variable cost (4,000 x $1.80)                                                                 7,200

Fixed cost                                                                                               7,500

                                                                                                               14,700

Option A is the variable cost allowance only and option B is the fixed cost allowance only. If you selected option C your variable cost per unit calculation was upside down ($1,000/1,800 instead of $1,800/1,000
