 The management accountant of a business has identified the following information:

        Total cost                                 $16,400                         $23,600 

The fixed costs of the business step up by 40% at 900 units. 

What is the fixed cost at 1,100 units? 

A

 $6,400 

B

 $7,600 

C

 $10,000 

D

 $14,000

This question uses the same data as Q96 – therefore, initially calculate variable cost per unit as above to be $8.00 per unit, then substitute this value into the equation for the higher level of activity as follows: 

$23,600 = 1.4FC + (1,200 × $8VC) 

$23,600 = 1.4FC + $9,600 

$23,600 – $9,600 – 1.4FC 

$14,000 = 1.4FC ( i.e. after increasing fixed costs by 40% upon exceeding 900 units)
