d. $170Million

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

The variable cost for the following is computed as:

Total variable cost = Produced units × Labor per unit + Produced units × Materials per unit

where

Produced units is 1,000,000

Labor per unit is $125 per unit

Materials per units is $45 per unit

Putting the values above:

Total variable cost = 1,000,000 × $125 + 1,000,000 × $45

Total variable cost = 125,00,000 + 45,000,000

Total variable cost = $170,000,000 or 170 million

Note: Rent is not the variable cost as rent is the fixed cost so will not involved above.
