Lyrx [107]

Answer:

V. Boutique

Assuming their projection of 500 gowns is accurate, the total average cost they will incur per gown is:

= $108.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Unit variable costs:

Fabric and materials per gown =                       $62

Labor cost  per gown to construct the gown = $40

Total unit variable costs  per gown =               $102

Unit fixed costs:

Equipment cost  = $3,000/500                           $6

Total average costs per gown =                      $108

b) The average cost per gown equals the unit costs (variable costs per unit and the fixed costs per unit).  V. Boutique incurs a total equipment cost of $3,000 for the 500 gowns.  This means that each gown consumes $6 ($3,000/500) in equipment costs.
