Also calculate if the number of tests decreases to 1,250 per month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answer 1

Answer:

2,000 test

Revenues 2,000*$320=$640,000

Variable costs 2000*$205 ($160+$21+$6+$8+$10)=$410,000

Fixed costs=$37,000 ($22,000+$15,000)

Income =$193,000

1,250 test

Revenues 1,250*$320=$400,000

Variable costs 1,250*$205 ($160+$21+$6+$8+$10)=$256,250

Fixed costs=$37,000 ($22,000+$15,000)

Income =$106,750
