Please HELP!



Explanation / Answer

$54,500 variable utilities = 1800 - 300 = 1500 variable maintenance = 1100 - 200 = 900 Total fixed costs = 300 + 200 + 1000 + 4500 = 6000 total variable costs = 7500 + 15000 + 1500 + 1800 + 900 + 2400 = 29100 / 3000 units = $9.7 per unit * 5000 units = 48,500 Total expected costs = 48,500 + 6,000 = 54,500
