Complete question:
Simon Inc. currently produces 110,000 units at a cost of $440,000. The cost is variable. Next year Simon Inc. expects to produce 115,000 units. Simon's relevant range for production is 100,000 to 120,000 units. If 115,000 units are produced next year, what is the expected variable cost?
A) $420,000
B) $430,000
C) $440,000
D) $460,000
Explanation:
Given ,
Simon Inc. currently produces 110,000 units at a cost of $440,000
Next year Simon Inc. expects to produce 115,000 units
Range for production is 100,000 to 120,000 units.
Now , we need to find out
If 115,000 units are produced next year, then the expected variable cost equation is ,
Variable cost per unit = [tex]\frac{Variable cost}{Unit}[/tex]
= $460,000
