Answer:
We can divide costs into three categories:
- fixed.- do not change as total production outcome changes
- variable.- changes proportionally to total production output
- mixed.- part fixed, part variable
Explanation:
fixed: they stay the same regardless of total output
- depreciation. $4,500 per month
- property taxes, $12,000 per year
variable: the more units are produced, the higher they are
- direct materials, $25 per unit
- shipping costs, $15 per unit
mixed: a part is fixed per month, while another part increases as total output increases.
- water and sewer, $50 per month plus $0.10 per gallon
- sales rep's pay, $1,000 per month plus 10% sales commission
