Answer: $2,425

Step-by-step explanation:

Fruit Boat should not pay more for the contract than they would if they were producing the good themselves.

= Variable cost + Avoidable fixed costs + Opportunity cost per month

Avoidable fixed cost = (39,000 / 2) / 10 boats = 19,500 / 10 = $1,950

Opportunity cost per month = 2,000 / 10 boats

= $200

Contract price = 275 + 1,950 + 200

= $2,425
