    Hi
    So I think you would have £115,000 minus £37,000 giving you £78,000 variable cost for 130,000 units.
    £78,000 divided by the amount of units 130,000 =0.6
    This means the variable cost is 0.6 per unit
    0.6 x 140400 units in new scenario =£84,240 variable cost of alternative scenario, then add the fixed cost of £37000 =

    £121,240
