The total costs include all variable costs and fixed costs. We need to make sure we are including all variable costs for the number of units produced, so:

2.

The marginal cost, or cost of producing one more unit, is the total variable cost per unit, so:

3.

The total costs include all variable costs and fixed costs. We need to make sure we are including all variable costs for the number of units produced, so:

Total costs = (25.95+17.29)(120,000) + $1,270,000 Total production costs = $6,448,000
