Question

Crane is a nonprofit organization that captures stray deer bewildered within residential communities. Fixed costs are $10000. The variable cost of capturing each deer is $10 each. Crane is funded by a local philanthropy in the amount of $54000 for 2020. How many deer can Crane capture during 2020?

Answer 1

4,400 deer

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fund received = Fixed cost + Variable cost

$54,000 = $10,000 + $10 × Variable cost

$44,000 = $10 × Variable cost

Therefore,

Variable cost = 4,400 deer
