Concept Introduction:
Variable cost and fixed costs:
Variable costs: The variable costs can be defined as the cost that change directly with the change in the level of output. They are directly related with the level of output. These costs are termed relevant costs as well.
Fixed costs: The fixed costs can be defined as the cost that do not change directly with the change in the level of output. They are not related with the level of output. These costs are termed irrelevant costs generally.
To compute:
The expected −
- Variable cost
- Fixed cost

Answer to Problem 15E
Solution:
The expected −
- Variable cost for the expected units to be sold next year = $ 12,000,000
- Fixed cost for the expected units to be sold next year = $ 3,750,000
Explanation of Solution
The expected variable costs and fixed costs are calculated as under −
- Variable cost for the expected units to be sold next year -
- The expected total sales revenue = $ 17,000,000
- Expected units to be sold = 200,000 units
- Contribution margin per unit = $ 25 per unit
- Expected Pre-tax income for the next year = $ 1,250,000
The expected sales price per unit = $ 85.
Now, variable cost per unit will be calculated as under −
The total expected variable costs are calculated as under −
The total expected variable costs = $ 12,000,000.
2 Fixed cost for the expected units to be sold next year −
The total expected fixed costs will be calculated as under −
Given,
- Expected units to be sold = 200,000 units
- Contribution margin per unit = $ 25 per unit
- Expected Pre-tax income for the next year = $ 1,250,000
- Total expected variable costs = $ 12,000,000
Now, fixed costs will be calculated as −
The expected fixed costs for the next year = $ 3,750,000
Thus, the expected fixed costs and expected variable costs have been calculated for the next year.

- Ivanhoe, Inc. has recently started the manufacture of Tri-Robo, a three-wheeled robot that can scan a home for fires and gas leaks and then transmit this information to a smartphone. The cost structure to manufacture 20,400 Tri-Robos is as follows. Cost Direct materials ($51 per robot) $1,040,400 Direct labor ($39 per robot) 795,600 Variable overhead ($7 per robot) 142,800 Allocated fixed overhead ($29 per robot) 591,600 Total $2,570,400 Ivanhoe is approached by Tienh Inc., which offers to make Tri-Robo for $116 per unit or $2,366,400. Following are independent assumptions. Assume that none of the fixed overhead can be avoided. However, if the robots are purchased from Tienh Inc., Ivanhoe can use the released productive resources to generate additional income of $375,000.
