Answer:
$0.1436
Explanation:
Given that,
$3,711 for 1,250 cases bottled
$3,790 for 1,800 cases bottled
Factory utility cost is a mixed cost containing both fixed and variable components.
Variable cost per unit:
= Difference in costs ÷ Difference in units
= ($3,790 - $3,711) ÷ (1,800 - 1,250)
= $79 ÷ 550
= $0.1436
Therefore, the variable factory utility cost per case bottled is closest to $0.1436.
