Factory electricity costs for the last 3 years have been as follows:
Year 1: $40,000
Year 2: $45,000
Year 3: $28,000
a) Use the 3 years of electricity expense given above and YOUR units produced. Tells you the number of units produced/sold for the first, second and third years of operations. You should use this data with the High-Low method to calculate the variable cost per unit for electricity. b) Continue to use the High-Low method, identify the average fixed cost element for electricity. c) Write the formula for electric costs as Y = Fixed costs + VC*X. Your formula should include Y and X as variables and your answer to c) as Fixed Costs and your answer to d) as the VC per unit. e) If Haas Company plans to produce and sell 150,000 units, how much can they expect their electric costs to be for the period?
a.
Variable cost per unit for electricity = $45,000-28,000 / 75,000-40,000
Variable cost per unit for electricity = $17,000 / 35,000 = $0.486 per unit of electricity
b.
Fixed cost = $45,000 - 36,450 (75,000*$0.486) = $8,550
c.
Y = $8,550 + $0.486*X
e.
Y = $8,550 + $0.486*150,000
Y = $8,550 + 72,900 = $81,450
Expected electric costs for the period = $81,450
