Ceradyne projects its factory rent to be $6,000 in August when 8,600 units are expected to be produced. If rent is a fixed cost, and if production is expected to drop to 7,000 units in September, what is the expected cost of rent in September?
$4,900
$6,000
$4,884

Raron’s Rockers is in the process of preparing a production cost budget for August. Actual costs in July for 120 rocking chairs were:
Materials cost $4,800
Labor cost 3,000
Rent 1,500
Depreciation 2,500
Other fixed costs 3,200
Total $15,000
Materials and labor are the only variable costs. The company has estimated that it can increase sales to 150 chairs in August if it changes the selling price of rockers to $145 instead of the current $160 per unit. What is expected to occur to the cost per unit given the expected changes?
Since production is increased, with fixed coat being static, Fixed cost per unit will reduce and thus reducing overall cost per unit.
It will increase because fixed costs do not increase with increases in volume.
It will decline, because fixed costs do not increase with increases in volume.
It will decline because selling price per unit declines.
It will increase because more units will be produced.
