Estimate of variable cost per unit with one product aver cost per unit is $234 at a volume of 1200 units and another with aver cost per unit $205 at a volume of 1400. The profit was $24,000 on the lower volume. How do I calculate for the variable cost per unit?

Can you write the complete question please?

Determine your total cost at both volume levels, which is the volume (in units) multiplied by the average unit cost.

How much did total cost increase as a result of producing 200 more units? I think you can take it from here, remembering that

Unit variable cost =

I don't know where to go after that. Do I need to use the CVP analysis in units to attain the profit of $24,000 or does that not apply in this calculation of the estimated variable cost per unit?

There really isn't much further to go... the formula I gave answers the question of finding the unit variable cost. You just plug in the numerator and denominator.

The profit figure was just a smokescreen... and as you're surmising, it isn't needed here. Which pieces of the puzzle you need in any particular question depend on which other pieces have been provided.

Cheers!
