<span>If
a competitive firm can sell a ton of steel for $500 a ton and it has an average
variable cost of $400 a ton, and the marginal cost is $600 a ton, the firm

Answer:
VC% = 73.5%
The New variable cost percentage of sales = 73.5%
Explanation:
Given;
New Fixed cost = $5.3 million
Total cost = $20 million
Total variable cost = $20 - $5.3 = $14.7 million
Variable cost percent=(total variable cost/total cost)×100%
VC% = (14.7/20) × 100%
VC% = 73.5%
