Unitary fixed manufacturing cost = $2.4 per unit

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Mullennex Corporation's relevant range of activity is 2,000 units to 6,000 units.

For 4,000 units:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.00

First, we need to calculate the total fixed manufacturing cost:

Total fixed manufacturing cost = 4,000units * $3 = $12,000

Now, we can calculate for 5,000 units:

Unitary fixed manufacturing cost = 12,000/5,000 = $2.4 per unit
