Company XYZ produced 1,000 units of product A. At this level, the variable manufacturing costs were OMR600,000 and the variable selling and administrative costs were OMR110,000. Furthermore, the total fixed cost was OMR140,000. Assuming the company increased the production level to 1,050 units, what would be the increase in total manufacturing costs? Select one:
a. None of the given answers
b. OMR35,500
c. OMR42,500
d. OMR30,000
e. OMR37,000
Variable manufacturing cost for 1000 units = OMR 600,000
Variable manufacturing cost per unit = 600,000/1000
= OMR 600
When output is increased, only variable manufacturing cost will increase. Fixed manufacturing cost will not increase due to increase in output.
Increase in output = 1,050-1,000
= 50 units
Increase in variable manufacturing costs = Increase in output x Variable manufacturing cost per unit
= 50 x 600
= OMR 30,000
Total manufacturing cost will increase by OMR 30,000
Correct option is d.
