The term "relevant range" means the range of activity within which:

the assumptions about fixed and variable cost behavior are reasonably valid

The following data pertains to activity and costs for two months: June July Activity Level in units 10,000 20,000 Variable Cost 20,000 ? Fixed Cost 15,000 ? Mixed Cost 10,000 ? Total Cost 45,000 70,000 Assuming that these activity levels are within the relevant range, the mixed cost for July was:

$15,000 Variable cost per unit = $20,000 ÷ 10,000 units = $2 per unit Total variable cost in July = $2 per unit × 20,000 units = $40,000 per unit Fixed cost = $15,000 (given) Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost + Mixed cost $70,000 = $40,000 + $15,000 + Mixed cost Mixed cost = $70,000 - ($40,000 + $15,000) = $70,000 - $55,000 = $15,000

Carbaugh Corporation has provided the following production and average cost data for two levels of monthly production volume. The company produces a single product. Production volume: 3,000 units 4,000 units Direct Materials: $73.90 per unit $73.90 per unit Direct Labor: $49.20 per unit $49.20 per unit Manufacturing Overhead: $70.10 per unit $55.20 per unit The best estimate of the total cost to manufacture 3,300 units is closest to

$619,680 Total Manufacturing overhead at 4,000 units = 4,000 x 55.20 per unit = 220,800 Total Manufacturing overhead at 3,000 units = 3,000 units x 70.10 per unit = 210,300 Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = change in cost/change in activity = (220,800 - 210,300)/(4,000 units - 3,000 units) = 10,500/1,000 units = 10.50 per unit

Haras Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The company sells the product for $141.30 per unit. Sales Volume (units) 6,000 7,000 Cost of goods sold 347,400 405,300 Selling and administrative costs 436,800 458,500 The best estimate of the total variable cost per unit is:

$79.60 Variable cost of sales = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity = ($405,300 - $347,400) ÷ (7,000 units - 6,000 units) = $57,900 ÷ 1,000 units = $57.90 per unit Variable selling and administrative cost = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity = ($458,500 - $436,800) ÷ (7,000 units - 6,000 units) = $21,700 ÷ 1,000 units = $21.70 per unit Total variable cost = Variable cost of sales + Variable selling and administrative cost = $57.90 per unit + $21.70 per unit = $79.60 per unit

The following data pertains to activity and the cost of cleaning and maintenance for two recent months: Month 1 Month 2 Production Volume 2,000 units 2,500 units Cleaning & Maintenance costs 900 1,100 The best estimate of the total month 1 variable cost for cleaning and maintenance is:

$800 Cleaning and maintenance Variable cost per unit = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity = ($1,100 - $900) ÷ (2,500 units - 2,000 units) = $200 ÷ 500 units = $0.40 per unit Total variable cost at 2,000 units = 2,000 units × $0.40 per unit = $800
