Answer 1

Per unit total cost $49.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The per unit total cost is as follows;

Particulars Total Costs Output

High level $21,300 420

Low level $15,300 270

Difference $6,000 150

Unit variable cost 40 ($6000 ÷ 150)

Fixed cost $4,500 ($21,300 - (420 × 40) )

Total cost at 500 lenses $24,500 ($4,500 + (500*40))

Per unit total cost $49.00 ($24,500 ÷ 500)
