    Average total cost per unit = $100

    Explanation:

    The average total cost is the the total cost divided y the number of units

    Average cost = (Total variable cost + Total fixed cost) / Number of units

    Total variable cost = (20 * 400) = 8000

    Total fixed cost = 6,000

    Average total cost = (8000 + 6000) / 140 = $100

    Average total cost per unit = $100
