Answer: If the pizza parlor produces 5000 pizzas a month its total variable costs per month will be

Answer 2

Answer:

Variable cost for production of 5000 Pizzas in the month is $33,000

Explanation:

The variable elements of the production costs are those that shift or change per quantity of item produced.

Some won't change, they are described as fixed e.g. Rent and Insurance from our present question

Variable Cost of production for the month

Labour - $4 x 5000 Pizzas = $20,000

Ingredients - $2 x 5000 Pizzas = $10,000

Electricity - 0.6 x 5000 Pizzas = $3,000

Total Variable Costs = $33,000
