Question

A lawn mower manufacturer incurs a total of $34,816 in overhead costs and $388 per lawn mower in production costs. How many lawn mowers were manufactured if the average cost of production is $660? The number of lawn mowers manufactured

Answer 1

The total cost = Variable cost + Overheads

For n lawnmowers

c = 338n + 660

34816 = 388n + 660

388n = 34816 - 660

388n = 34156

n = 34156/388

n = 88


The number of lawnmowers manufactured = 88

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost = Variable cost + Overheads

For n lawnmowers

c = 338n + 660

34816 = 388n + 660

388n = 34816 - 660

388n = 34156

n = 34156/388

n = 88

The number of lawnmowers manufactured = 88
