What is the average total cost of producing 60 units of output

Answer 1

Answer:

$21.67

Explanation:

Exhibit 21-3 is attached with the answer .Please find it.

Total cost of production includes the fixed cost and variable cost. Fixed Cost remains constant as $500 in the exhibit, but the variable cost changes with each production level.

Cost of producing 60 units

Variable cost = $800

Fixed cost = $500

Total cost = $800+500 = $1,300

Product cost per unit = Total cost / numbers of unit = $1,300 / 60 = $21.67
