Direct materials cost that varies with the number of units produced is an example of a fixed cost of production.

Marcye Co. manufactures office furniture. During the most productive month of the year, 3,500 desks were manufactured at a total cost of $84,400. In its slowest month, the company made 1,100 desks at a cost of $46,000. Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are:

The data required for determining the break-even point for a business are the total estimated fixed costs for a period, stated as a percentage of net sales.

Harold Corporation just started business in January 2012. They had no beginning inventories. During 2012 they manufactured 12,000 units of product, and sold 10,000 units.
