When they produce 20,000 units per month, sanders incorporated has variable costs of $392,000 and fixed costs of $242,000. if sanders increases their production to 25,000 units, by how much will they have to increase their budget?

a : $98,000
b : $158,500
c : $490,000
d : $792,500

increased in budget = $98000

correct option is A $98000

Explanation:

given data

produce = 20,000 units per month

variable costs = $392,000

fixed costs = $242,000

increases production = 25,000 units

to find out

how much will they have to increase their budget

solution

we get here total cost or present budget that is

total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

total cost = $392000 + $242000

total cost = $634000

and

variable cost per unit will be here

variable cost per unit =

variable cost per unit =

variable cost per unit = 19.6

and

variable cost for increased production = increases production × variable cost per unit  

variable cost for increased production = 25000 × 19.6

variable cost for increased production = 490000

and

total cost of increased production = fixed cost + variable cost for increased production

total cost of increased production = $242000 + $490000

total cost of increased production = $732000

and

increased in budget = $732000 - $634000

increased in budget = $98000

correct option is A $98000

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable

3 wants

things that you do not need to have in order to survive, but would like to have

needs

things that you must have in order to survive

goods
