Moses Logan · Answer 1

d. $73,778.50

Explanation:

Variable Cost = $11.07 per unit x 5,150 units = $57,010.50

Total Cost = $130,789

Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost

Fixed Cost = $130,789 - $57,010.50

Fixed Cost = $73,778.50

Since Depreciation is the Fixed Cost and we have been given the Total Cost of the Project, so the Depreciation is already included in the Fixed Cost.

Hence Total Fixed Cost is equal to $73,778.50.
