Answer:

correct option is d.All of the answers are correct

Explanation:

given data

purchases computers = $500

fixed operating expenses = $8000

solution

when unit sold = 100

then Purchase cost will be

Purchase cost = 500 × 100

Purchase cost = 50000

so total cost is = 5000 + 8000 = 58000

so cost per unit is

cost per unit = [tex]\frac{58000}{100}[/tex] = $580

and

when units are sold = 50

then Purchase cost will be

Purchase cost = 500 × 50

Purchase cost =25000

and Total Cost will be

Total Cost = 25000 + 8000 = 33000

so Cost per unit will be

Cost per unit = [tex]\frac{33000}{50}[/tex] = $660

and

when units are sold = 25

then Purchase cost will be

Purchase cost = 500 × 25

Purchase cost =12500

and Total Cost will be

Total Cost = 12500 + 8000 = 20500

so Cost per unit will be

Cost per unit = [tex]\frac{20500}{25}[/tex] = $820

so correct option is d.All of the answers are correct
