At an activity level of 8,400 units in a month, Braughton Corporation's total variable maintenance and repair cost is $697,284 and its total fixed maintenance and repair cost is $464,100.What would be the total maintenance and repair cost, both fixed and variable, at an activity level of 8,500 units in a month? Assume that this level of activity is within the relevant range.

Indirect costs, such as manufacturing overhead, are variable costs.

The gross margin for June is:

In account analysis, an account is classified as either variable or fixed based on an analyst's prior knowledge of how the cost in the account behaves.
