    unit fixed 75.14

    unit variable 230.53

    unit total 305.67

    total: 6,419,070

    Explanation:

    Variable cost:

    Materials:

    1,100,000 / 15,000 = 73,33

    Labor:

    1,906,000/15,000 = 127.0667

    variable overhead:

    Indrect materials 239,000 + energy on equipment 213,000 = 452000

    452,000 / 15,000 = 30.1333

    Total Variable: 230.53

    Fixed:

    947,000 supervisor

    293,000 utilities

    146,000 depreciation

    192,000 property taxes

    total 1,578,000

    fixed at flexible budget for 21,000

    units fixed: 1,578,000 / 21,000 = 75.14

    Units cost:

    Variable + Fixed = 230.53 + 75.14 = 305.67

    Total cost:

    305.67 x 21,000 = 6,419,070
