Last month the company sold 150 kits. What is the total fixed cost associated with producing the quilting kits for one month

Answer 1

Total fixed cost= $6,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company has monthly expenses of $1,000 for rent and insurance, $200 for heat and electricity, $500 for advertising in quilting magazines, and $4500 for the monthly salary of its owner.

The fixed costs do not change with production levels. Electricity can be seen as a mixed cost (variable and fixed), but we will treat it as a fixed cost.

Total fixed cost= 1,000 + 200 + 500 + 4,500

Total fixed cost= $6,200
