Jaydon Armstrong · Answer 1

The cost of unloading is $52,000

Explanation:

Cost is the cash interest that a corporation has expended on sales and accounting to manufacture it. Within an organization, costs represent the amount of money spent on manufacturing or developing a good or service. Price requires no benefit premium.

Resource Unloading Equipment $15,000

Fuel $2,000

Operating Labour = (25% * [4 $35,000] = $35,000)

= $35,000

Total = $35,000+$15,000 + $2,000

= $52,000
