Solution

Various principal cost in plastic coated notebook manufacturing business are Rent of premises, salary of employees, Rent of machine, electricity charges, selling distribution & administration expenses, Direct material, Direct wages etc.

Assuming 10,000 unit of Coated notebook are produced in a year.

Total cost per unit = 16.55 $ per unit

In case if we increase the volume of activity by 10 % i.e. total production annually will be 10000+1000 = 11000 Units

Total Cost per unit = 15.72 $

Learning

1. Variable cost per unit does not changes with the change in level of activity in this case variable remain same at 6 $ per unit.

2. Fixed Cost per unit reduces as we increase the level of output/ activity in this case fixed cost has reduced from 9 $ to 8.18 $.

3. Mixed cost has both the component fixed as well as variable.

Therefore in general terms the cost of the product reduces when the level of output is increased.
