    Accounting Homework Help
    I need help with the these three problems. They are the only three I don't understand from my homework. :confused:

    1) During June, ABC Corporation produced 12,000 units and sold them for $20 per unit. Total fixed costs for the period were $154,000, and the operating profit was $26,000. The variable cost per unit for June was:
    a. $4.50
    b. $5.00
    c. $6.00
    d. $7.17


    2) If total sales are $200,000, total variable costs are $60,000, and total fixed costs are $80,000, the contribution margin is:
    a. $200,000
    b. $80,000
    c. $120,000
    d. $140,000

    3) Assume that Gronen Company has total variable costs of $90,000 when 30,000 units are sold. If 50,000 units were sold, total variable costs would be:
    a. $100,000
    b. $120,000
    c. $130,000
    d. $150,000

    1)
    Note: This question is done from starting at the very bottom and working your way up.

    Sales (given) 12,000 x 20 = 240,000
    VC = Sales – CM = 240,000 – 180,000 = 60,000
    CM = 154,000 + 26,000 = 180,000
    FC 154,000
    Operating Profit 26,000

    Therefore, VC totalled $60,000 for 12,000 units, or $5 per unit (60,000 / 12,000)

    b. $5.00


    2)
    CM = Sales – VC = 200,000 – 60,000 = 140,000

    d. $140,000


    3) I already answered this on your other post.

    VC 90,000 / 30,000 units = $3 of VC per unit

    $3 x 50,000 = $150,000

    d. $150,000
