The answer is £412,000 but I am struggling to work out how to get that answer.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Looking at this there feels like there is more to the question. What was part i)?

    For the Fixed assets you'd take the Overheads (288,000) and add in other fixed costs but from that list there aren't any values that can be be put in. I'm guessing that part i has you calculate the depreciation which would be 124,000 and would make up part of the fixed cost.

    Thanks for the full question. This confirms what I suggested above.

    Your fixed costs are the overheads plus the yearly depreciation.

    288,000 +124,000 = 412,000

    Depreciation counts as a fixed cost in most cases due to the way it's included. The amount of production in this case is irrelevant and it's solely based on the time it has been held.
