Answer:
Total variable cost = $88.9
Explanation:
Given:
Selling cost = $181.30 per unit
Sales volume (units) 8,000 9,000
Cost of sales $479,200 $539,100
Selling and administrative costs $736,000 $765,000
Variable cost [cost of sales] = [539,100-479,200]/[9000-8000]
Variable cost [cost of sales] = 59.9
Variable cost [Selling and administrative cost] = [765,000-736,000]/[9000-8000 ]
Variable cost [Selling and administrative cost] = 29
Total variable cost = $59.9 + $29
Total variable cost = $88.9
