Chapter 15, Problem 34E
Refer to the cost and production data for the Wave Darter in Exhibit 15–5. The target profit is $60,000.
Required: Use the general formula for determining a markup percentage to compute the required markup percentages with the following two cost-plus formulas:
- 1. Variable
manufacturing costs [formula (1) in Exhibit 15–5]. - 2. Absorption manufacturing cost [formula (2) in Exhibit 15–5].

1) Determine the variable cost per unit and the fixed cost using the high-low method. 2) What is the equation of the total mixed cost function?
3) Based on the High-Low method, what is the total production costs if 6,500 units are produced?4) Prepare the scatter diagram and insert the trendline or line of best-fit. Use a scale of 2 cm to represent 1,000 units on the x-axis & 2 cm to represent $50,000 on the yaxis.5) Using the line of best-fit, determine the company’s fixed cost per month and the variable cost per unit. (Use 0 & 5,000 units.)
Answer all please and thanks.
a) Classify each cost element as either fixed, variable, or mixed b) Calculate:i) the variable production cost per unit and the total fixed production overhead.ii) The total variable cost per unit and the total fixed costsHint: Use the high-low method to separate mixed costs into their fixed and variable components.c) Assuming sales of 5,000 units, prepare a contribution margin income statement for the year ended December 31, 2020, detailing the components of total variable costs and total fixed costs, and clearly showing contribution and net income.
