Tyler Company produces one product and budgeted 220,000 units for the month of August with the following budgeted manufacturing costs:
Total Costs Cost Per Unit
Variable costs 1,408,000 $6.40
Batch set-up cost 880,000 $4.00
Fixed costs 1,210,000 $5.50
Total 3,498,000 $15.90
The variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs are unchanged within a production range of 200,000 to 300,000 units per month. The total for the batch set-up cost in any month depends on the number of production batches that Tyler runs. A normal batch consists of 50,000 units unless production requires less volume. In the prior year, Tyler experienced a mixture of monthly batch sizes of 42,000 units, 45,000 units, and 50,000 units.
