King Khan Corporation (KKC) manufactures kongs and kangs, the production of which requires considerable energy. Power generation department costs amounted to $4 million this month, for a total of 50 million kilowatt hours (kwh) supplied to the plant. Analysis shows that 40% of power generation costs are fixed. This month the Kong Dept. made 5 million kongs, each using 4 kwh, and the Kang Dept. made 4 million kangs, each using 6 kwh. In the following month, the power generation department costs amounted to $4.3 million for 51 million kwh. Kong Dept.'s usage was the same, but the Kang Dept. increased output to 4.1 million kangs, each using the standard power allowance.
