If the company uses 390 minutes in May, how much will the total bill be? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
A) $1,842.60
B) $1,829.10
C) $3,672
D) $6,157
C .C)
Change in total cost ($4,000 - $2,640 ) $1,360
Change in minutes (460 — 170 ) 290
Variable cost per minute ($1,360 / 290 ) 4.69
Variable cost for January = 460 minutes x $4.69 per minute = $2,157.40
Total fixed costs = Total mixed cost - Total variable cost
Total fixed costs = $4,000 - $2,157.40 = $1,842.60
For 390 minutes:
Total cost = (390 minutes x 4.69 ) + $1,842.60
Total cost = $1,829.10 + $1,842.60 = $3,672
