Assigning Cost of Capacity

(LO 10-5, 6)

Beth's Supplies manufactures building tiles in one plant, which has a practical capacity of 25,000 tiles. The variable cost of the tile is $9.00 per unit, and the fixed costs of the plant are $300,000 annually. Current annual demand is 20,000 tiles. Beth bought the current plant because she expected that demand for the tiles would grow once her reputation was established.
