Faulkner · Answer 1

C. $480

Explanation:

Answer is C.

Cost of Goods Sold = $540,000

Commission = $36,000

Total Variable Costs = Cost of Goods Sold + Commission

Total Variable Costs = $540,000 + $36,000

Total Variable Costs = $576,000

Number of units sold = 1,200

Variable Cost per unit = Total Variable Costs / Number of units sold

Variable Cost per unit = $576,000 / 1,200

Variable Cost per unit = $480

So, Variable Cost per unit sold for 2017 is $480
