Answer:
Total cost of the business = £925,000
Explanation:
Solution:
Data given:
Fixed cost = £875000
Revenue generated = 2.5 million
Total variable cost = 50,000
Units Sold = 100,000
What is the total cost of the business = ?
Formula for total cost of the business is:
Total Cost = Total Fixed Cost + (Average variable cost per unit x units produced)
Here we have, Total variable cost not the average variable cost per unit.
So,
Average variable cost per unit = Total variable cost/ units produced
Average variable cost per unit = 50,000/100,000
Average variable cost per unit = 1/2 = £0.5 per unit.
Now,
Total cost of the business = Total Fixed Cost + (Average variable cost per unit x units produced)
Let's plug in the values.
Total cost of the business = 875,000 + (0.5 x 100,000)
Total cost of the business = £925,000
