    Answer: the correct answer is A. $18.00

    Explanation:

    The question is when the company produces 150 units so the average costs is $24.50

    150 units Average costs $24.50

    151 units Average costs $24.55

    Total costs = Units * average cost per unit (150 * $24.50) = $3,675.00

    Total Cost = Fixed costs + Variable costs

    $3,675 = $975 + Variable costs

    Variable costs = $3,675 - $975 = $2,700

    Average Variable costs per unit $2,700/150 = $18
