Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Total manufacturing overhead at 2,000 units = 2,000 units × $86.90 per unit = $173,800
Total manufacturing overhead at 4,000 units = 4,000 units × $55.30 per unit = $221,200 Total manufacturing overhead at 2,000 units = 2,000 units × $86.90 per unit = $173,800 Total manufacturing overhead at 4,000 units = 4,000 units × $55.30 per unit = $221,200   Variable cost per unit = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity = $47,400 ÷ 2,000 units = $23.70 per unit Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost element = $221,200 - ($23.70 per unit × 4,000 units) = $221,200 - $94,800 = $126,400 Variable cost per unit = Change in cost ÷ Change in activity
= $47,400 ÷ 2,000 units
= $23.70 per unit
Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost element
= $221,200 - ($23.70 per unit × 4,000 units)
= $221,200 - $94,800
= $126,400
