The answer is: Oil prices greatly increased; as much as 400% in one year.

Embargo refers to official trade ban that a certain country/organization give to another country.

Many western nations (including united states) depended heavily on the oil products that produced by OPEC. After the embargo, the OIL supply in united states became extremely scarce, This make the oil price in united states experience a drastic increase within the course of one year.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total Cost Production (units)

April $119,400 281,300

May 92,000 162,800

June 99,000 238,000

<u>To calculate the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (119,400 - 92,000) / (281,300 - 162,800)

Variable cost per unit= $0.231

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 119,400 - (0.231*281,300)

Fixed costs= $54,701
