Answer:
Total variable cost= 90,000
Total fixed costs= 8,000
Total costs= $98,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production of 15,000 units:
Fixed costs= $8,000
Total variable cost= $75,000
We have no reason to believe that the fixed costs will change. If 18,000 units remain in the relevant range, the fixed costs are constant.
<u>We need to calculate the unitary variable cost:</u>
Unitary variable cost= 75,000/15,000= $5
Now, for 18,000 units:
Total variable cost= 5*18,000= 90,000
Total fixed costs= 8,000
Total costs= $98,000
