Respuesta :

The Main Answer is 1) The variable cost per unit = $60,450 / 1,500

= $40.30

The total fixed cost = $195,510 - ($40.30 x 4,100)

= $30,280

2) Expected maintenance costs for October $171,330

1) Number of tests Total costs

High - August 4,100 $195,510

Low - February 2,600 $135,060

Difference 1,500 $60,450

The variable cost per unit = $60,450 / 1,500

= $40.30

The total fixed cost = $195,510 - ($40.30 x 4,100)

= $30,280

The cost function is: C(x)= FC + V(x)

Total cost for x tests = $30,280 + $40.30x

2) The expected maintenance cost will be:

Fixed cost $30,280

Variable cost

3,500 x $40.30 141,050

Expected maintenance costs for October $171,330
