Explanation / Answer

What were total production costs?

Solution-

The total production cost include all the variable and fixed costs. We including all variable cost for the calculation of number of units produced.....

Total production costs = ($32.15 + $23.10) (110,000) + $1,255,000

Total production costs = $7,332,500

What is the marginal cost per pair?

Solution-

The cost of producing or Marginal cost one (1) more unit is the total variable cost (per unit), So:

Marginal cost = $32.15 + $23.10

Marginal cost per unit = $55.25

What is the average cost per pair?

Solution-

Average cost per pair = Total cost / Total quantity

Average cost per pair =$7,332,500 / 110,000

Average cost per pair = $66.65

If the company is considering a one-time order for an extra 5,000 pairs, what is the minimum acceptable total revenue from the order?

Solution-

Minimum acceptable total revenue = 5,000($55.25)

Minimum acceptable total revenue = $276,250

If the cost of producing those units can be recovered than additional units should be produced only.
