The total cost is $1,796,600

Explanation:

Fixed costs are costs that do not change with the change in the volume of good or service sols, but under certain circumstances, when the fixed cost is a direct cost, it can vary on a per unit basis.

Variable costs are costs that change with the change of the volume of goods or service.

Total number of units = 138,200

variable cost per unit = $8

Total variable cost = 8 * 138,200 = 1,105,600

Fixed cost per unit = $5

Total fixed cost = 5 * 138,200 = 691,000

Total cost = 1,105,600 + 691,000 = $1,796,600
