Katz's project has fixed costs of $70,000 per year. OCF is $30,000 at 5,000 quantity of sales. If quantity sold increases from 5,000 to 5,300, what will be the new OCF after this increase in quantity of sales?

In this question,OCF=$30,000 . Quantity of sales=5,000units . Fixed Cost=$70,000 . OCF=Number of units sold×(selling price/unit - variable cost/unit)-fixed cost
$30,000=5000×(selling price/unit - variable cost/unit)- $70,000
$30,000+$70,000=5000(selling price/unit - variable cost/unit)
$1,00,000=5000(selling price/unit - variable cost/unit)
(Selling price/unit - variable cost/unit)= 1,00,000÷5000
=$20/unit.
Here,the quantity sold increases to 5,300units.
Therefore,
OCF=5300×(selling price/unit - variable cost/unit)-$70,000
=5300×20 - 70,000
=$1,06000 - $70,000
=$36,000.
The present OCF when the number of units sold increases from 5,000 units to 5,300 units is $36,000.
