Answer 1

Answer:

The materials and supplies in the planning budget for November

= $2,090 + $15 per vehicle

= $2,090 + $15 x 89 vehicles  

=  $2,090 + $1,335

=  $3,425      

The correct answer is D                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Explanation:

The materials and supplies in the planning budget are comprised of a                 fixed cost of $2,090 plus a variable cost of $15 per vehicle. The number of vehicle budgeted for was 89 vehicles. Thus, the materials and supplies in the planning budget will be $2,090 plus $1,335 x  89 vehicles.
