Answer 1

Answer: C. $250

Explanation: fixed cost are cost which do not change even when other factors Change. Example of fixed cost is ‘rent’ even if the employees increase up to a 100 this variable won't affect the cost of rent which is $250. Unlike salary that increases with an increase in workers.

= $490.
