Answer 1

Answer:

$20,000

$80,000

Explanation:

Fixed cost is the cost that does not vary with output.

Fixed costs = cost of interest + other yearly fixed cost

(0.05 x $80,000) + $16,000= $20,000

Total cost is the sum of fixed and variable cost.

Variable cost is the cost that varies with output. If output is zero, variable cost would be zero.

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

= $20,000 + $60,000 = $80,000
