Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Highest level of activity = 3,700

Total cost at highest level of activity = $82,400

Lowest level of activity = 1,200

Total cost at lowest level of activity = $65,000

Here, we are using high-low method of cost estimation,

Variable cost per unit:

= (Total cost at highest level of activity - Total cost at lowest level of activity) ÷ (Highest level of activity - Lowest level of activity)

= ($82,400 - $65,000) ÷ (3,700 - 1,200)

= $17,400 ÷ 2,500

= $6.96

Fixed Costs:

= Total cost at highest level of activity - (Variable cost per unit × Highest level of activity)

= $82,400 - ($6.96 × 3,700)

= $82,400 - $25,752

= $56,648

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

cut back the expansion of labor as a trade off between higher salaries but fewer workers.

Explanation:

If the employer believes that he is paying above average wages, he will try to reduce labor costs. Since unions are specially good in preventing massive layoffs, the other alternative left for the employer is to not hire new employees, or reduce the number of new employees that he expected to hire.
