Jose Foster, a manager of Prettiest Pooch, Inc, was reviewing the water bills of a dog daycare and spa
He determined that its highest and lowest bills of $3,800 and $2,000 were incurred in the months of May and November, respectively. If 600 dogs were washed in May and 200 dogs were washed in November, what was the fixed cost associated with the company's water bill? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
A) $2,000
B) $3,800
C) $1,100
D) $1,800
C .C) Variable cost per unit = Change in total cost / Change in volume of activity
Variable cost per unit = ($3,800 - $2,000 ) / (600 dogs - 200 dogs) = $1,800 / 400 dogs
Variable cost per unit = $4.50 per dog
Number of dogs washed in May 600
Variable costs incurred in May ($4.50 per dog x 600 dogs) $2,700.00
Fixed costs incurred in May ($3,800 - $2,700.00 ) $1,100
