Answer 1

$112,326

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of wages and salaries is shown below:-

For computing the total wages and salaries first we need to find out the variable cost which is here below:-

Variable cost = Activity Births × Per birth

= 181 × $606

= $109,686

Total wages and salaries = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $2,640 + $109,686

= $112,326

So, for computing the total wages and salaries we simply applied the above formula.
