During the Year the total marbles sold by AMP Ltd. are 6,000 and Profit at this level of Sales is $
20,000. The Margin of Safety Sales is $ 60,000. The total Fixed Expenses for the year is one-third of
the year's Break Even Sales. Find out the Total Variable Cost and Variable Cost per unit if the Selling
Price is $ 30.00 per marble.
Variable Cost = $ 120,000 ; Variable Cost per unit = $ 20.00
Variable Cost = $ 114,000 ; Variable Cost per unit = $ 19.00
Variable Cost = $ 111,000 ; Variable Cost per unit = $ 18.50
O Variable Cost = $ 117,000 ; Variable Cost per unit = $ 19.50
