![]() ![]() ![]() We’re talking about your mortgage or rent payments, gym membership, life insurance, medical insurance or even streaming service costs (Netflix, Disney or Hulu). We’re going to walk you through everything you need to know about managing your money with fixed expenses and variable expenses (and what the heck they have to do with budgeting).įixed expenses are the items in your budget that stay the same month after month. Believe it or not, you already know what fixed and variable expenses are-even if you didn’t know what they’re called. And trust us, it’s definitely not as intimidating (or boring) as it sounds. Budgeting isn’t just for personal finance nerds or accountants. While those money terms sound like you just bought a one-way ticket to snooze fest, stick with us.

Note: Fixed cost remains same in all condition.ĥ70000 = Fc (20000*27).(vc = 27 / unit for 20000 units) This 135000 is your variable cost for 5000 units. *** For 5000 units cost is increased by 135000. ***** If amount changes, that change must be occurred because of Variable cost. Variable Cost = (# of units) * (cost per unit = $27)įixed Cost: \(($570,000 - $540,000) = $30,000\)įixed cost will not change regardless the number of units produced. We need that fixed cost.įixed cost = Total cost - (Variable Cost) Per unit cost is $27, but $27 per unit is above and beyond some fixed cost that is the same for every production batch. Subtract bottom from top: 5,000 units cost $135,000 How many extra units cost how much total? Variable Cost = (Per unit cost) * (# of units)įixed Cost is a cost that does not change that is incurred with each and every production batch irrespective of number of units.įixed Cost = (Total Cost - Variable Cost) That figure is used to calculate variable cost (variable cost total changes because the number of units produced changes) Looking at our equations, it is easy to see that a difference in 5,000 units created another 705,000 - 570,000 = 135,000 dollars of revenue. Total expense = fixed monthly expense variable expense -> t = f ku (where k is a constant - we are told the variable expense in 'proportional to the amount of units) We'll break our question into equations to make it easier to understand. ![]() If the company's total expenses for a month in which it produces 20,000 units are $570,000, and the total expenses for a month in which it produces 25,000 units are $705,000, what is the company's fixed monthly expense? Each month, a certain manufacturing company's total expenses are equal to a fixed monthly expense plus a variable expense that is directly proportional to the number of units produced by the company during that month. ![]()
