The total operating cost for the plant per YEAR is $225,000,000.

Explanation:

Fixed cost = $4,000,000 for month

Variable cost = $90 per LCD panel.

Total LCD panels produced in a month = $ 177,000.

Total operating cost = Fixed cost + variable cost

= 12*4,000,000 + 10*177,000*100

= 48,000,000 + 177,000,000

= $225,000,000

Therefore, The total operating cost for the plant per YEAR is $225,000,000.
