The average total cost of producing electronic calculators in a factory is $16 at the current output level of 100 units per week. If fixed cost is $530 per week, then what is the firm's variable cost? (enter answer as just a number, no commas, dollar signs, or the like)

Respuesta :

The variable cost (related to the production volume) will be 10.7 in total per week (100 units)

100 units x 16 dollar total unit cost =  1600

the total cost is composed of both, variable and fixed costs so we have to subtract the fixed cost to arrive at the variable cost.

total cost = fixed + varible

total - fixed = variable

1600 - 530  = 1070

The variable cost is 1070 in total

while: 1070/ 100 = 10.7 per unit.

Variable costs are costs that change as the quantity changes. Examples of variable costs include raw materials, parts labor, production materials, handling charges, shipping charges, packaging materials, and credit card fees. In some accounting documents, variable costs are called "cost of goods sold."
