What is the total cost of producing 2,000 tires

Answer 1

Answer:

$78,000

Explanation:

Total cost of producing 2,000 tires:

= [(Direct materials + Direct manufacturing labor + Variable manufacturing overhead) × 2,000 units] + Fixed cost

= [($20 + $3 + $6) × 2,000 units] + ($10 × 2,000 units)

= $58,000 + $20,000

= $78,000

Therefore, the total cost of producing 2,000 tires is $78,000.
