Material 18,000.00 3.00 24,000.00 3.00 Variable Cost since it is fixed per unit but varies in total
Labour 15,000.00 2.50 19,000.00 2.38 Mixed Cost since it varies per unit and also varies in total

Total Sales 48,000.00 64,000.00
Total Cost 44,700.00 57,700.00
Total Profit 3,300.00 6,300.00
Step 2 Separation of Fixed Labour Cost from Mixed Costs at High Level of Activity
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
Y = a + b(x)
Total Labour Cost/ Unit = Fixed Cost Variable Cost
$19,000.00 = Fixed Cost + $2(8,000)
Fixed Cost = $19,000 - $16,000
Fixed Labour Cost $3,000
Step 4 Separation of Fixed Overhead Cost from Mixed Costs at High Level of Activity
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
Y = a + b(x)
Total Overhead Cost = Fixed Cost Variable Cost
$14,700.00 = Fixed Cost + $1.5(8,000)
Fixed Cost = $14,700.00 - $12,000
Fixed Labour Cost = $2,700
ii. Margin of Safety (MOS) in Value = Total Revenue - Break Even Revenue
= $64,000 - $30,400
= $33,600
g. No. of Units to be sold to make a profit before tax of $10,000
Units to be sold to make a targeted profit before tax
Total Fixed Cost + Targeted Profit
=
Contribution/Unit
$5700 + $10000
=
$1.50
$15,700
=
$1.50
= 10,467
h. Total Sales required to make a profit after tax of $8,000 assuming a company tax rate of 30%
=[($5,700+($8,000/(1 −0.30)))/
$1.50]^
=[($5,700+($8,000/(1
−0.30)))/0.1875]^
= $91,352
