Computation of Fixed Cost per Hour:

Fixed Cost per Hour = Total Fixed Cost per Year/Total Output for the Year

= 2,024,000/160,000

= 12.65 per hour

 

Computation of Total Cost per Year:

Total Cost per Year = (Fixed Cost per Hour + Cost of Operation per Hour)*Total Output for Year

= (12.65+62) * 160,000

= 74.65*160,000

= 11,944,000

 

Computation of Profit per Hour:

Profit per Hour = Charge Rate per Hour - (Fixed Cost per Hour + Cost of Operation per Hour)

= 85.56 - (12.65+62)

= 85.56 - 74.65

= 10.91 per Hour
