Ingram Co. manufactures office furniture. During the most productive month of the year, 4,000 desks were manufactured at a total cost of $100,000. In its slowest month, the company made 1,300 desks at a cost of $46,000. Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are:

100,000 - $46,000 = $54,000 4000 - 1300 = 2700 $54,000 / 2700 = $20 var cost per unit $100,000 = (4000X$20) + fixed costs $100,000 = $80,000 + $20,000 Total fixed costs are $20,000.

Nikki Company has fixed costs of $480,000. The unit selling price, variable cost per unit, and contribution margin per unit for the company's two products are provided below. Selling Variable Contribution Product Price Cost/Unit Margin/Unit Q $200 $100 $100 Z $100 $80 $20 The sales mix for products Q and Z is 75% and 25%, respectively. The break-even point in units is:

Unit selling of E (Enterprise) = ($200 X .75) + ($100 X .25) = $175 Unit variable cost of E (Enterprise) = ($100 X .75) + ($80 X .25) = $95 Enterprise unit selling price $175 minus: Enterprise unit variable cost ($95) equals: Enterprise unit contribution margin $80 Break-even in units = Fixed costs / unit contribution margin $480,000 / $80 = 6000 units
