A. APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Determine the mixed costs

Costs that display characteristics of both fixed and variable costs simultaneously are called "mixed costs."

The rental agreement on a piece of machinery stipulates an annual fee of $6,000 plus $2 for each hour of use. To illustrate, assume the manager wants to know what mixed costs will be at 7,000 hours of operation.

Fixed Cost + (Variable Cost per Unit x Number of Units) = Mixed Cost

 

$________________ + $_____ x 7,000 hours) = $___________

 

For this scenario, calculate the mixed costs at different levels across the relevant range, then graph them.

Hours of Operation Mixed Cost
0 hours $________________
4,000 $________________
9,000 $________________
12,000 $________________
15,000 $________________
