This Excel worksheet relates to the Dickson Company example that is summarized in Exhibit 2-5. Download the workbook containing this form from Connect, where you will also find instructions about how to use this worksheet form.
You should proceed to the requirements below only after completing your worksheet.
Required:
1. Check your worksheet by changing the total fixed
How much is the selling price of Job 407? Did it change? Why or why not?

Selling price: The cost incurred by selling the product in the market is known as the selling price.
Fixed overhead cost: The cost which does not vary even though there are changes in the business activity. Some of the costs which come under fixed overhead cost are rent, insurance, salaries etc.
Determine the missing figures. Once the figures are obtained, what is the change in the selling price if the fixed overhead cost is reduced to $300000 provided the total cost of Job 407 should be $2350.
Answer to Problem 1AE
Solution: There is a fall in the selling price since there is a change in the fixed overhead cost.
Explanation of Solution
This calculation should be done in the work book and it is explained below,
