| Fixed costs | = | $1,055 + $2,004 + $2,532 + $316 + $211 |
| = | $6,118 | |
| Variable costs to produce 3,500 units | = | $7,912 + $20,941 + $4,747 |
| = | $33,600 | |
| Variable cost per unit | = | $33,600/3,500 units |
| = | $9.60 per unit | |
| Variable cost portion of mixed cost | = | Total cost – Fixed portion |
| Utilities: | ||
| Variable cost to produce 3,500 units | = | $2,591 – $316 |
| = | $2,275 | |
| Variable cost per unit | = | $2,275/3,500 units |
| = | $0.65 per unit | |
| Maintenance: | ||
| Variable cost to produce 3,500 units | = | $1,436 – $211 |
| = | $1,225 | |
| Variable cost per unit | = | $1,225/3,500 units |
| = | $0.35 per unit |
| Cost to produce 5,275 units | = | (Variable costs per unit × 5,275 units) + Fixed cost |
| = | (($9.60 + $0.65 + $0.35) × 5,275) + $6,118 | |
| = | $55,915 + $6,118 | |
| = | $62,033 |
