Question
![Amal (the cost accountant) in Dream Company asked
the financial accounting department to provide cost
information for the production department for the

Total production cost
$480,000
6000
Amal reviewed this cost information with the
production manager, Ali Khalid, who has worked as
production manager at Dream company for several
years. After careful review, Ali and Amal came up with
the following breakdown of variable and fixed costs for
May:
Total Cost Variable Costs Fixed Costs
