Final answer:

After calculating the total revenue ($288,000) and total costs ($166,000) for the given number of units produced and sold, the manufacturer's profit is found to be $122,000. Since this is not one of the provided options, the correct answer is 'None of the above'.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the profit for the manufacturer, we must first calculate the total revenue and total costs, then subtract the total costs from the total revenue. The manufacturer has a monthly fixed cost of $70,000.00 and a production cost of $8 for each unit produced. With a selling price of $24 per unit and 12,000 units sold, we would calculate the total revenue as follows:

  • Total Revenue = Price per unit × Quantity sold
  • Total Revenue = $24 × 12,000
  • Total Revenue = $288,000

The total costs include both the fixed costs and the variable costs (production cost per unit times the number of units produced). Therefore:

  • Total Costs = Fixed Costs + (Production Cost per unit × Quantity produced)
  • Total Costs = $70,000 + ($8 × 12,000)
  • Total Costs = $70,000 + $96,000
  • Total Costs = $166,000

Now, we can find the profit by subtracting the total costs from the total revenue:

  • Profit = Total Revenue - Total Costs
  • Profit = $288,000 - $166,000
  • Profit = $122,000

Therefore, the manufacturer's profit is not one of the provided options, so the correct answer is f. None of the above.
