Carla Vista Manufacturing manufactures a single product. Annual production costs incurred in the manufacturing process are shown
below for the production of 2,900 units. The company's Utilities and Maintenance costs are mixed costs. The fixed portions of these
costs are $390 and $290, respectively.
Calculate the expected costs to be incurred when production is 4,900 units. Use your knowledge of cost behavior to determine which
of the other costs are foxed or variable.

C. The total cost per device for productions of 66,000 devices, excluding marketing costs, could be used as the cost basis.
D. The total cost per device for production of 66,000 devices, including marketing costs, could be used as the cost basis.
Apply the Concepts, Cost Reporting
Medco Inc., a manufacturing firm, has four activities: purchasing materials, molding, inspecting molds, and grinding imperfect molds. Purchasing
materials and molding are necessary activities; inspection and grinding are unnecessary. SQ provides the value-added quantity for each activity; AQ is
the actual activity output. The following data pertain to the four activities for the year ending (actual price per unit of the activity driver is assumed to
be equal to the standard price):
