Answer-a:
The cost per unit declined from RM11 to RM10 as the number of units produced increases from 40,000 units to 60,000 units, because the total fixed costs of RM 120,000 get spread over a larger number of units.
Variable cost per unit = (RM300,000 - 240,000) / (60,000 - 40,000) = RM3 per unit
Fixed cost = RM240,000 - (40,000 * RM3) = RM240,000 - RM120,000 = RM120,000
Answer-b:
Yes the sales manager is correct. The total variable cost per unit to produce 20,000 units is RM8. Hence bid price of RM9 is acceptable. Fixed cost is not relevant in this case because ACE has to incur the fixed cost whether the offer is accepted or not. Also there is no opportunity cost because ACE is not utilizing full capacity.
Answer-d:
Contribution lost on accepting special order = RM12 - RM1 = RM11
Hence, opportunity cost = 5,000 units * RM11 = RM55,000
