High level activity
When Truck drive 120000 miles, cost per mile = 11.6 cents
So total cost = 0.116*120000 = $13920
Low level activity
When Truck drive 80000 miles, cost per mile = 13.6 cents
So total cost = 0.136*80000 = $10880
Variable cost per mile = (Total cost of high activity - total cost of low activity)/(high activity unit - low activity unit)
VC = (13920-10880)/(120000-80000) = $0.076
Fixed cost = 13920 - 0.076*120000 = $4800
Miles Driven | Total annual cost | |
High level activity | 120000 | $13920 |
Low level activity | 80000 | $10880 |
Change | 40000 | $3040 |
Variable cost per unit | $ 0.076 | |
Fixed Cost | $ 48000 |
3). So when truck drive 100000 miles
Total cost = 4800 + 100000*0.076 = $12400
