Managerial Accounting
Total variable costs = # of workers * daily wage + other variable costs
TVC = (50,000*80) + 400,000
TVC = $4,400,000
Average variable cost = TVC / units of output
AVC = $4,400,000 / 200,000
AVC = $
Average Total cost = (TVC + TFC) / units of output
ATC = ($4,400,000 + $1,000,000) / 200,000
ATC = $
Worker Productivity = units of output / number of workers
WP = 200,000 / 50,000
WP = 4
The total and average variable costs do not change if there is a change in the fixed costs so, nor does worker productivity:
TVC = $4,400,000
AVC = $
WP = 4
The average total cost does change. The new figure for average total cost is:
ATC = ($4,400,000 + 3,000,000) / 200,000
ATC = $
Under the first scenario the profit is calculated as follows:
Profit = Revenue --...
